Verdigris I was cast in a form I wasn't meant for Polished until my bare flesh exposed But I am not my sinew, I am not my bone I am the crawling stone that always returns No matter how hard they polish Trying to make me something I'm not My true skin always appears Vibrant and crystaline

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

erininthemorning.comDon’t Vote For The Worst Anti-Trans DemocratsThe Democratic Party should, and likely will, win big in the midterms. We must not send the worst anti-trans voices to join them.

i will never not be militant about trans rights cis people: demand nothing less than full, unequivocal rights for trans people and do not accept from anyone the idea that it is naive to demand it we deserve what you have

People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out.

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

Attempt 1 at doll makeup. I need to do better on the eyelashes. And do something more with the lips. And maybe I'll have the time for the ball joints. Someone just thought I was bopeep and someone else just thought I was a child. T.T next attempt is Friday.

*girl who's only familiar with Evangelion, The Witch from Mercury, and WARHOUND voice* so from what I gather, "mecha" is a genre in which the narrative forces conspire to torture a traumatized lesbian whose name begins with 'S'

It's kinda silly to feel unwanted after a week of some of the best sex of my life. And yet, here were are. At least it just confirms what I already knew, that this feeling is irrational.

My most naive trait is that I genuinely, truly love everyone in this community. We all have our grudges, our differences of opinion, and you will inevitably burn yourself out caring for too many people at once, but I don't care We are all aligned, in the ways that matter.

transitioning at times does feel like a caterpillar going into the chrysalis to become a butterfly in the way that when the caterpillar goes in it gets liquidized into a DNA-rich soup with all its organs and tissue dissolved in acid but eventually the pretty butterfly flies out :)
