Self Portrait I’m calling “Twink Death” and is about me learning to accept gaining weight and my body shape as the Italian stallion I am😔
Basically trans male fatness is something that has been on my mind as it feels society puts such a pressure on Ftm people to be either effeminate and twinkish or perfectly passing and fit to be desirable, and where self love and attraction comes in for trans mascs who are neither of those things
There's more I could wax poetic about but alas I'm sleepy.
new gender idea: guy who is super masculine and uses he/him pronouns, but every time someone acknowledges his gender or asks about it he switches to feminine presentation and she/her pronouns and refuses to acknowledge the change
sorry. *girl who is super feminine and uses she/her but everytime someone asks she switches to masc and he/him and refuses to acknowledge the change
sorry. *guy who is su-
hey. stop being funnier than me
This is the dream, tho?
I'm putting the term "red flag" on the shelf with the other words
I’d call that a green flag honestly
Yalll want to see some trans joy?!
Josie and I get to go swimming this weekend!! I know that doesn’t seem like much, but for a couple of trans women this is a big deal, and I AM SO EXCITED
Now I wish I had a private pool so I could invite all my trans friends over for a swim!
It turns out that you can rent pools for like 50 bucks an hour. I know that’s a lot of money, but if you divide it up among enough people it ends up being pretty doable!
just learn how to draw fat people. please? it's actually not that hard. the internet is at your fingertips. you can look up refs right now literally right now and start practicing. hell if you're a tablet user trace over photos for a bit. if you're a traditional artist do the lightbox method or print them out and trace over them. get comfortable with it. now have those pics next to you and draw them.
practice drawing ALL body types; fat people, muscular people, old people, disabled people, very young people, people of color.
the world is not exclusively made up of 21 yr old skinny white people. get comfortable drawing diverse bodies.
this post shares one of the best drawing manuals for drawing fat and skin folds. the techniques don't seem any harder than drawing voluminous clothing. just do it, it'll improve all your figure drawing.
that new Netflix show looks cool and all, but isn’t the writer’s strike still going?
For clarification, yes, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is still on strike (60+ days and counting!) and there's no end in sight yet. However, TV shows and films that are releasing now were in the can long before the strike started: this isn't the work of scabs but of WGA members working before a strike was called.
Additionally, there is no current official call for a boycott from the WGA. Some individual WGA members have encouraged people to cancel their streaming subscriptions with a note saying this is in support of writers, but this isn't official, and it's unlikely a small handful of people canceling will make a dent in the studios' bottom line. What will make a difference is the TV/film pipeline drying up this fall, or the actors' guild (SAG-AFTRA) going on strike, which would completely shut down all production.
For now, continue your normal viewing habits. (If viewership declines sharply, the studios may use it as an excuse to cancel and remove many more films/shows from their sites as a tax write-down.) If the WGA does call for a boycott in the future, you still want to have the leverage of canceling then.

Sorry but it’s true, I’ve never met a person over 30 who wasn’t weird and creepy. Young people deserve a safe space away from that
killing myself on the eve of my 30th birthday lest i become a cringe and uncool geezer who is unrelatable to the youths.
Name one person over 30 who is not weird and creepy, I’ll wait.
dolly parton. next question.
my family fucked up my life by using spoonerisms interchangeably with their true phrase counterparts since before i was born and now i can’t escape from instinctively saying shit like “im gonna shake a tower”
oh “meeking a smee” made me feel like i was being fucking tazed
theres a lot of people on this website who dont realize their dad is a gnome
the way sesame street, a pbs puppet show for literal babies, is pressing on with pride content despite vitriolic monsters descending on every post to insinuate they're pedophiles or demons while some of the biggest companies on the planet who could swim in olympic swimming pools of money like scrooge mcduck on steroids buckle and cave just emphasizes how completely and utterly pathetic these corporations are. they'd butcher a baby if it meant saving a penny.
where Starbucks and Target and Budweiser will be bullied into submission with the slightest push, puppets and people in your neighborhood stand tall

man. what on earth.
ok i flipped it. sorry
PSA: bot comments are taking over ao3
The above examples have been provided with the authors’ permission to demonstrate what these look like.
Basic rundown:
- They are all 3 sentences long
- Perfect grammar, capitalization, and punctuation
- Like absolutely flawless English teacher-style writing with only a single exclamation mark, ever
- No mentions whatsoever of character names, settings, situations, or anything that could be tied to the story
- The usernames may be identical to people who exist on ao3, but the name is not clickable, and no profile is associated with it EXCEPT when you directly search for that name. What this means: the comments come from an unregistered (not logged in) reader, bots scrape the site for real usernames, attach that to the comment, and post
Please spread the word about this so authors can filter comments and report them accordingly
There has been some speculation about why this is happening at all, and the best guess is that this is a feature that AI-training story-scraping tools are implementing to try and make their browsing traffic look legitimate
sick of environmental and climate-friendly movements/fads throwing disabled and chronically ill people under the bus and even outright blaming us for the state of our world. “using albuterol inhalants is poisoning the atmosphere” “people who use non-reusable dishes and plasticware are responsible for landfills” “don’t use plastic straws or straws in general” “walk places or ride a bike or use the bus instead of driving everywhere” “don’t use same-day delivery from amazon” how about “don’t dump tons of oil in the ocean or burn a hole in the ozone or pollute the air with fossil fuels to make a quick buck”? how about “celebrities stop using private jets to fly to your vacation home every weekend so you don’t have to see the poors in commercial”?
like yeah, okay if you can walk or ride a bike or elect to not use straws, by all means, do that. but stop acting like people who DO need to use straws, or drive everywhere, or use inhalers, or eat with disposable dishes etc are the leading cause of global warming because we’re not. corporations and people with way too much money are. stop judging us for existing our disabled, ill lives because we don’t have the same options you do. it’s exhausting.
it’s disability month so please listen to us because this is still a problem
so was anyone gonna tell me there’s deleted dialogue where Hannibal looks Jack and Alana dead in the eye and starts talking dirty to Francis Dolarhyde about sex-murdering Will and his wife, or was i supposed to just stumble across that myself in the script of the monitored phone call from 3x11
transcript:
FRANCIS DOLARHYDE: I think about what the Dragon will do to me if I don’t serve her up.
Hannibal stares through Jack and Alana, enjoying an audience.
HANNIBAL: Think about Will Graham’s family. Think about the weight of his wife in your arms. Think about holding him down until loss of blood makes his heart quiver like a bird.
🎉 Happy 10 Year Anniversary to Episode 1.01!
Dog people don’t quite understand that well-cared for indoor cats regularly live into their late teens, some into their 20s. Also cats don’t tend to show visible signs of aging like dogs do. A 10-15 year old medium/large breed dog is usually visibly old and often slowing. Cats at that age who have good genetics and have received good care look completely like their younger selves and still have play drives and energy and their personalities. Not my cat though. She’s only 5 and she’s looked like roadkill since birth. People often think she’s a senior cat because her body type is weird and she doesn’t groom herself. This is because she is just a little weirdo.
I love her so much but that just doesn’t negate the fact she looks like the Pet Sematary reanimated evil version of someone’s beloved pet. She looks like she’s decomposed just enough for her skin to start slipping. She has cat dandruff. She never cleans under her claws so they’re often black. Her face is crusty and she tries to kill you if you clean it. She’s just built DIFFERENT.
nope! here are her baby pictures (from 2017)
she went through an almost normal cat phase around 3 months of age but reverted back to being yucky
yes she is the toe biter and also the little cat that messes up all the pillows
This is my boy, who is nine, with his grampa, who was 19
I like how Al began with a short psa about how indoor cats age like fine wine, unlike dogs, who age like milk on a warm summer evening. But then decided to dunk on poor little Tommy for daring to have some personality
Tbh I got halfway through the post about cats aging gracefully and remembered my cat was the scruggliest being on earth and I didn’t have a leg to stand on.
