*Giggles and cast Disintegrate on the Fourth Wall*
Hey guys!
#For friends、didn't physically sit then down、but many of those I told in person I did by taking them to the side and telling#Though the first few were all done through WhatsApp#Then I came out to a few at the same time on discord#Then the in person thing (usually with a friend who knew closeby etc because anxiety)#And then I started just saying it to friends if it came up#I never came out to my close family.#Only person in the family who knows part of it is my younger cousin whom I felt wouldn't make a fuss etc#She didn't and、afaik、she didn't tell anyone#I do have 'gay jokes' with my family (like saying a friend of mine would be a catch、or that I'm thinking of getting a sugar daddy AND mommy)#But they don't take it seriously、luckily#If I can help it、they'll never know. At least not until I'm more than independent、possibly living far away#It's not easy to hide it (and like. I can't meet any friends if they're around because they all use my chosen name)#(which、you know、hard to explain)#And it sucks not being able to present how I want etc#But it's safer、so I'm never coming out until I'm 100% sure I can cut all contacts and disappear on a whim without harmful consequences#Like I've thought of doing it and my jokes are equal parts me being me and me 'flirting' with the idea of doing it#But I'm not going to
A month later:
It is 1880s America, you are about to spawn as a Historically Significant White Guy. Choose a class:
TROUBLEMAKING FRONTIER PREACHER
- Special Power: Good Christian. Your vague adherence to American protestantism will ensure that law enforcement does not bother you whatsoever.
- Victory condition: Fuck enough of your followers wives to start an inbred theofascist micronation.
MANICALLY AMBITIOUS CON ARTIST
- Special Power: Basic Literacy. You're poor, but you know how to read. They'll never expect it. You may forge literally any document and it will be believed 100% of the time.
- Victory Condition: Steal enough money to fuck off to Latin America. A Spanish speaking nation might as well be the moon to your debtors.
EUROPEAN NOBLE FAILSON
- Special Power: Colonial Wealth. Your funny accent, foppish dress, and noble title, will make any American think you are totally good to buy it on credit.
- Victory Condition: Become the boytoy to the wife of some borderline-gangster politician and save up enough political capital to run for office and get addicted to opium.
DOOMED FRONTIER EXPLORER
- Special Power: How The Fuck Are You Alive. Your freakish diet of pork, whiskey, and maple syrup, makes you entirely immune to all physical injury and disease. Somehow.
- Victory Condition: You have one mission, and one mission only. You need to piss off some completely friendly natives. You need to piss them off so bad they leave your stupid ass to starve in a food forest they've been cultivating for literally thousands of years.
283,000 likes………giant meteor strike the earth rn holy shit. oh my god.
"maybe it's not your pussy" is such a funny phrase and also correct. People wonder why chores are so hard and it's like, friends we used to have a whole intergenerational team on this and now Grandma is locked in a beige box. Cooking is hard.
Actually yeah it does piss me off that the on website for which the main appeal for years was porn you can get what functioned for years as a personal diary and an archive of your friendships, changing tastes and opinions can get abruptly pulled from under your feet because you posted a few pixels of cock. The preeminent website where people can still post nudes is run by an incompetent fascist where aside from porn one half is bigoted outrage bait and the other is people meekly trying to debunk it, forcing you to see it twice.
whenever i see cis people does bad things. I say this in mind “you are making cis community look bad! This is how you lose allies!” and next im going to say “they are making me want transition cuz cis community is so embarassing!”
life gets soooo much better when you aren’t surrounding yourself with people who actively spend their time in internet discourse circles and debate ultimately negligible topics
“the X/Y/Z fandom is arguing about if it’s ok to-” i don’t care. come play with me outside in the mud puddles when you’re done
i feel like using fandom as an example was a cop out on my part when this applies to MUCH more, particularly infighting between identities. in the real world people are too busy sucking each other nasty style to give a shit about tumblr and twitter arguments and that's how it should be
i've decided. if you're going to show me a picture of a cat or a dog, either i have to know her personally, or it has to be fucked up. it has to be a nasty animal. it needs to be something that would make an upper middle class american white woman go "oh. oh i can't. that's horrible." it needs to be naked or tattered or cross eyed. show me your horrible rag cats.
I got you, check this cat out
FUCK YESSSS
Hi hi! Here's how to send staff feedback :) (on mobile)
3000 year old petroglyph of a man running away from a big snake. With erection. It is one of the many Rock carvings in Tanum, Sweden and was painted red so its easier for tourists to see.
timeless
I was checking Barbie's page on imdb and I saw this and i couldn't stop laughing.
Their names were Nerissa and Katherine Bowes-Lyon. They were kept in the Royal Earlswood Hospital, formerly known as "The Asylum for Idiots". Burke's Peerage listed them both as deceased in the 1940s but Nerissa died in 1996 and Katherine died in 2014.
The hospital had no record of any visit from the family during the time the sisters were there, and they never received a birthday or Christmas card. They also received no money beyond the £125 paid to the hospital per year.
Nerissa Bowes-Lyon was buried in a pauper's grave with a plastic marker and a serial number:
The family didn't even buy her a headstone until a Channel 4 documentary highlighted the sisters' story and showed the grave. None of her family had attended her funeral.
The Queen was reported to be "hugely distressed" by the airing of the documentary.
“Can I just say something in MY defense? We had to keep our disabled family members a secret, because then people might start to question whether my family has magic blood that makes us uniquely able to govern.”
