being in yr 20s is like every day is a Try Not To Spend 40$ Challenge and i keep losing
kicked in the teeth by death after unavoidable death of people like us. trans lives over cis feelings.
anyone else know in their heart that they would absolutely adore smoking cigarettes so they have to avoid them like the plague or just me
unfortunately smoking cigarettes does, in fact, looks sick as fuck. i'm not willing to risk lung cancer to look cool but the fact must be stated that smoking a cigarette looks dope as hell
it fucking sucks how you can do all the therapy and self healing in the world and you still have to wake up living under a capitalist death cult that's killed community and crushes your soul
congrats you want to live and be happy
bad news the world doesn't want that for you
I'll still love fully and crawl to hope until my body gives out anyway I guess

The author of the one on the left is an oppressor bootlicker and made a twitter manga where she was worried about "men in women's spaces", regarding some LGBT legislations that happened in Japan around that time.
This is in context of one of the more questionable parts in the last chapter.
The author of the one on the right has not made any comments in similar nature, so that one is better.
(I no longer agree with TL's note in the scanlation of that one which recommends against DIY HRT though - sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do)
I just wanted to add some info to this. Konishi Mafuyu, who amde Umareru Seibetsu wo Machigaeta and has also worked on stuff like Spy X Family, made some comments regarding some bills that ruled bar on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, as well as a no-discrimination rule against trans people using locker and bathroom spaces.
She made this manga:
Thankfully, she didn't get much suppor and instead the response she got was people asking her to read the bills content again and think carefully about what she said. Some even calling her "a pig that supports a butcher."
"[CW: QRT contains discriminatory languag] Regarding this manga "My thoughts on the LGBT bills" <<I am LGBT who supports the best interest of both "men and women", I'm part of the community so please listen to my voice.>> These are the typical discriminatory words of a "pig supporting a butcher"."
"Ah!
She knows what she's doing.
When she did her SRS essay manga she portrayed herself as a beauty with a beautiful body ✨, however, now that she's expressing her opinion as a trans woman, she's trying to avoid criticism by showing herself as a minorty, with a 3-set of "thick eyebrows, broad shoulders and a foolish face."
We're talking about a pro after all.
She changes her representation for her intended audience"
And you can see indeed she changed her appearance from previous works.
It's really sad because her manga was actually pretty cute.
I guess bootlickers exist everywhere
Who is going to bail them out?
(Couldn’t resist the Barbie arrest meme)

They are not as high-profile as the WGA, but I would like to bring everyone's attention to the imminent strike action by thousands of hotel workers in Los Angeles. They are set to go on strike tomorrow, July 1st, 2023.
More than 15,000 hotel workers are seeking higher pay, better benefits, and working conditions. This includes an across-the-board $5 an hour raise, as well as affordable healthcare and better pensions. They also are seeking a ban on the use of E-Verify, which is used to deny employment to undocumented workers and workers involved with the criminal justice system. You can follow what is happening at their Twitter.
Y'know after Bridget, Cagliostro, Tachibana from Fabiniku, and now Gwen from Spider-Verse, I really want the next popular canon trans woman to not be a blonde white girl. Maybe she can be a brunette with big curls who's part middle-eastern or something. Just a thought
Edward Burtynsky, “African Studies”
From the diamond mines of South Africa to the richly textured landscape of Namibia’s Tsaus Mountains, the series spotlights the sub-Saharan region and its reserves of metals, salt, precious gemstones, and other ores.
“I am surveying two very distinct aspects of the landscape,” he says in a statement, “that of the earth as something intact, undisturbed yet implicitly vulnerable… and that of the earth as opened up by the systematic extraction of resources.”
Taken over seven years in ten nations—these include Kenya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, Senegal, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Madagascar, and Tanzania—the aerial photos, which are compiled in a forthcoming book published by Steidl, present a dichotomy between a region irrevocably altered by humanity and one of immense possibility.
Since 2013 when it launched its Belt and Road initiative, China has invested billions of dollars in expanding its global presence, with many African nations as targets. This growth, along with international competition for access and power on the continent, has widespread economic, environmental, and governmental impacts, which Burtynsky explores through the series.
LOVERS IN ARMS

Pussy inspector said it looks indistinguishable from a cis vagina. We did it chat
Graduating vagedicktorian
She is a woman with a lot of medical knowledge and a lot of experience looking at lots of different types of vaginas, both cis and trans. She probably knows what she's talking about
Dragons were probably real
they definitely were my great uncle saw them all the time
When my great grandpa's coworker's wife announced that she was pregnant her husband literally turned into a dragon and flew away forever
This happens a lot. They keep flying into power lines and dying.
They are just so stupid.
ny great uncle saw dragons all the time
mmmmmmm lead and roses was lovely i really gotta get my hands on the last girl scout
alrighty adding onto this now that it isn’t midnight or whatever. i read @natalieironside ’s Lead and Roses short story collection and without having even read The Last Girl Scout, i enjoyed it immensely. it’s rare for me to find stories i like + stories with good, honest rep + stories told well, but this has it all!
my favorite stories were The Last American and Werewolf, mostly because the POVs were great. i loved mack’s interactions with sljflsdkfjlsd everyone but especially her cousin and their last conversation about girls and swords. for Werewolf, while not fun per se, it was kinda neat to sit in a character’s head as he starves and slowly dies and realize. hmmm. Not Gonna Do This Anymore. it’s kinda funky cuz his survival is pretty much sheer luck and that’s pretty sobering, but also refreshingly real. like. mood.
i love how the stories were structured in particular. they’re quick-paced, and the whole thing being 156 pages really lets you move along quickly, which is nice for me barely being able to slog through a 300 page book nowadays. beyond that, there’s a note at the stories’ summaries saying they’re arranged thematically, not chronologically, which really pays off! although each story has its own plot and such, and all take place at different times, together they all support another and form their own arc, which is a really neat touch that allows for opening, exploration, and closure. makes the collection feel like a unit, rather than just lumped together.
overall it’s just. the vibes are spectacular mate. the setting’s horrible yea and the antagonists are awful yes and all of that can make you feel small and YET. you don’t! because despite all the bad, our characters stick together and fight through it together. no one’s ever really alone, or if they go off alone, they find someone to help them pull through. i just *clenches fist* REALLY love stories that focus in on the power and strength of communities and supporting another, and lead and roses really hammers that home. it’s not afraid to have characters bicker and disagree, doesn’t pretend that everything can be made fixed and perfect through a single way, and that’s delicious to read
in summary:
[image id: gordan ramsey meme edited to say: “delicious. Finally, some good fucking dystopia” /end id]
so go read it!
shucks :3
EVERYONE!
The Book™ is now available in ebook and paperback! Wow!
Character, book, and author names under the cut
If you listen closely you can hear the anguished screams of the phangdom 😂
I closed my eyes and smashed randomly at my touchscreen but this is actually very sweet.
Good job keeping the boys tied.
Werewolf boyfriend appeal is stronk.
But also don't worry. Vlad, of all people, would not object to Nathan coming out on top.
