My experience with being a girl was like this.

Imagine you're born wearing an invisible mask. You naturally assume everyone else is wearing a mask, too.

Every time someone tells you how to act or how to be you add some paint to the mask. The mask getting heavier each time.

Eventually, 2 weeks ago for me, the mask starts suffocating you. You start drowning. It's literally killing you. But you don't know it's the mask doing it because the mask was always there.

After breaking down completely, and still not being sure why, you take off the mask.
And then, the next moment, I was trans.

some ppl think veganism isn't cool or tough but if you were to see someone rip open a tofu package and eat the entire thing raw you'd probably change your tune

Me, sliding up on a cutie at a bar: "Content warning: Flirting, suggestive words, flamboyantly gay."

"And this is my other cat, Sufnyaan Stevens"

For some reason, every trans person in my life before I came out was something I could never be. It took me a long time to realize "this is a thing you can do", and not just something "other people do"

if the thought of a community defending itself against racism and transphobia is worrisome to you, you are probably a racist or transphobe. just using my powers of logical deduction here

@socalledunitedstates direct action of the future will never be like the communism of the past and though its important to learn from history their mistakes and successes, we must march forward, as a true revolutionary would.

"Be gay do crimes" and "boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time" have inspired more direct action in the younger generation than all the somber old slogans combined, and it's because they're funny and memeable. It's because every gen z will see both on social media at one point in at least one form, and they'll stick in their mind

Adjust your messaging to your audience and your culture

Despite the name, the chickens do not collectively own their coop.

my experience of autism is, if you test me on a bunch of skills in isolation I really seem like some kinda wunderkind, and if you look at my life as a whole I'm an utter disaster

the sound that plays in dark souls when you choose a menu item sounds like a burp recorded in a cathedral

Unfriendly reminder that every single cop is a menace to society, and live as a predatory class.

- I like this
- You are heard
- I like you, specifically, and will fav most of your stuff to let you know I'm listening
- I understood you, but I don't have a good response

one time, a little driver asked me if I was a gamer and I really wanted to say "well, I like video games, but I'm not racist"
