Plato: [frantically] with flat nails, WITH FLAT NAILS!

If you needed a trans person to come tell you this is not okay: hi! Here I am! Don’t do this. All it does is advertise that you view using someone’s correct name as a privilege that can be revoked for bad behavior.

They haven’t called the results of the minimum wage vote yet, god dammit! Don’t take this from me yet!

Although Teixeira asked Discord members not to share the documents, an investigative journalism group, Bellingcat, found that Teixeira’s friends spread the documents widely, first to other Discord servers, then to Telegram, 4Chan, and Twitter (now called X).

What’s the saying? Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead?

Lil dude is about to have a carb coma we can only dream of. Look at that fry-to-body size ratio!

He’s probably on some weird designer drug. Not because he has to evade tests like athletes, but just because he thinks it makes him smarter than taking FDA approved drugs.

This is one of those videos that always has me absolutely losing it every time I watch it.

The back of a sewing needle would probably be ideal to push it through.

I’ve found !trans@lemmy.blahaj.zone to have a more active community and better modding.

Sometimes I see those little “self driving” (usually remote driven IIRC) delivery robots and it’s usually a bit of a jump scare, because you don’t hear them coming up behind you or around a corner over the street noise.

The rest of the time it’s funny, because they’re stuck or because someone just never came to get the delivery and it’s just standing there uselessly.

That’s a fair concern, but if you keep it in a sealed plastic bin (a 5 qt is enough for 2 people for 1-2 weeks in my experience) you shouldn’t have any odor issues. We store ours in the fridge because there’s not enough room in the freezer, but if you have more freezer space than fridge this should be doubly true since all the food scraps will be frozen until you drop them off.

I only have to carry mine to the bins provided by the city outside my apartment, but shoving it in a bag or backpack would be doable if it’s worth it to you.

At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — enough.”

I think the decades of family and social pressure telling me that my appearance defined my self worth which I experienced when I was raised as a girl is the reason I wear a hat to cover my balding head, thanks for asking!

Friend, I am trans, I could reproduce if I wanted to with a dude (I absolutely do not want to). I’m also already married to a gay man, so my rainbow hat is not to pick people up, it’s to cover up my balding head. :p

I don’t oppose DIY HRT in the slightest, I just wish that when people are talking about it there was a little more acknowledgment that DIY is a LOT more dangerous (legally) for people using testosterone.

There’s a lot of ‘just buy it online!’ which makes sense for estrogen, because as far as I know the only risk of importing that for personal use in the US is it getting confiscated by customs. In comparison testosterone is a schedule III drug, in the same class as ketamine and opium. Just possessing it without a prescription is a crime, and if someone even has more than a 30 day supply in some states they can end up in prison.

Tl;dr: DIY good, testosterone laws bad, please keep us trans men and trans mascs in your thoughts 😔

(TW for self harm and suicide)

During the first Bush presidency I tried to kill myself, and obviously failed. I also engaged in a lot of self harm that I still carry the scars of today.

You need community, and you need joy. Those can get you through almost anything. It will get you through plague and death and suffering.

That doesn’t mean “just have a good time and ignore everything”, it means support the people who need you and take care of yourself as well, and reach out for help when you can’t.

For anyone else that had no idea what a mezzotint was: Wikipedia

Mezzotint is a monochrome printmaking process of the intaglio family. It was the first printing process that yielded half-tones without using line- or dot-based techniques like hatching, cross-hatching or stipple. Mezzotint achieves tonality by roughening a metal plate with thousands of little dots made by a metal tool with small teeth, called a “rocker”. In printing, the tiny pits in the plate retain the ink when the face of the plate is wiped clean. This technique can achieve a high level of quality and richness in the print, and produce a furniture print which is large and bold enough to be framed and hung effectively in a room.

I mean, are straight people who are normal about it clamoring for the title to begin with? This seems like a problem invented basically entirely by the whiners. You could just as easily say it affects gay people who want an ironic title, or straight trans people, but for obvious reasons the whiners don’t really care about that.

All that said I have no idea what the price tag means in terms of gameplay time to acquire it. If it’s unachievable without 10 hours of grinding or something that’s a little mean, but not enough that I really care.

(Edit: accidentally a word)

You are preaching to the choir, I have viewed Democrats as fair weather friends for at least the past 20 years. Some of us are old enough to ‘member getting thrown under the bus to get ENDA passed, which didn’t even happen. :’) We should still shout it from the rooftops that it will gain them nothing to abandon trans people.
