People are like "be careful of that trans woman, she was socialised male so she's dangerous" and then you look at her and see the most timid creature in the world who has never heard "I love you" from someone who didn't hurt her
been writing a thing, but it's like
Maybe Too Personalβ’οΈ
and idk if i'll actually post it when it's done
but also it has felt good to actually write about and it's topical given recent high-profile events / timely for me personally
aaaaa
I made a different choice and am just going a block list of people who do not meet my expectations vis a vis Jacob Geller. If you would like it is here:

I was staying strong until this point but I think seeing other women defend a cis white male rapist by saying it's just like a trans woman and shit is breaking me a bit and just logging off isn't gonna make me feel much better
finished 007 first light tonight
beautiful game, pretty fun mechanics, i hope they do more with the hand-to-hand combat stuff in the next one (and more complicated puzzles/spycraft would be cool)
I think a lot of liberals and democrats have such an alienated view of trans folks that they see us as βreallyβ our assigned gender, and think that theyβre humoring or being polite to disabled or mentally ill folks when they use our pronouns or our names.
They see it as kindness, politeness.
i love that i earned a master's degree in a field and practice i have had a special interest in since i was young just to witness "vibe coding" ruin all of it
i'm so tired of it. tired of ignoring the harm these systems have done and will continue to do to child development. to mental health. to the environment. to poor communities, especially poor black/brown communities. to our ability to actually understand things.

i love that my suspicion at the time (pre-LLM-brainrot) that everyone who seemed not to care about actually understanding things was a sad loser with nothing but money on their mind was entirely correct
and i love that we are now at a point where previously-thoughtful and intelligent people that DID care to understand are also falling for it, even going so far as to say we are "post-understanding" / understanding is secondary
I've increasingly seen the terms "Biological [male/female]" used to talk about trans people, even by people trying to be supportive, and I wanted to get my thoughts down about that.
The tl;dr is that the terms are slurs and factually wrong, and pushing back when you see them is appreciated.
cried myself to sleep for the first time in a long time, with no clear reason to point to
which just makes it worse; the frustration of not knowing what's got me down just brings me further down
very cool very fun
ok but one thing: what the hell is with the rng when artifact-hunting, i feel like it should be weighted (even slightly) towards finding unidentified artifacts in rare locations (ritual chambers, mist spots), and yet i keep getting the same damn artifacts every time
in a world of (arguably) too many "stardew clones", i think fields of mistria is my favorite
super cute art, interesting characters, and really REALLY good pacing
