Sasha [They/Them]

If you haven’t already done it, Pat (the Bunny) put all his stuff on archive and he’s far from the only one.

I have a playlist called “Loud Sleep” I put that on, crank the volume up enough that I can’t hear my thoughts and wait around until I’m so exhausted I either fall asleep or get sleepy enough that I take them off and pass out. I specifically use Skullcandy crushers so I crank the bass waaaaaay up and let it vibrate my skull.

It’s just a bunch of They Might Be Giants’ more aggressive/loud songs and a couple that mean something to me. It’s not really about avoiding feeling stuff, it’s all intended to make me feel more, just without as much thinking. It’s kept me alive on some really bad nights when I felt like all I could do was die.

Imposter syndrome because the people around you beat you to coming out is real and sucks so hard. It happened to me, I watched a couple of my friends go through the exact same thing after I came out and it happened in reverse to an acquaintance when I heard someone angrily complain about said acquaintance coming out after them (it was unbelievably toxic and nothing I’ve seen before or since).

One of the closest people in my life literally hit me with the “just asking for a friend” to see if they’re allowed to be non-binary without taking hormones like I do. Even with all the reassurance in the world it can take a long time. It’s so so hard, being trans often means overcoming an enormous amount of self doubt and all sorts of internalised nasty things.

You’ve done an amazing job navigating everything. I’m so proud of you and it only gets better from here, I promise.

Thank you for existing ❤️

I’ve got unclockable’s bra buds and they’re pretty good when they work but it’s been hard to find good bras and they can be a pain to keep in place. I’ve come home a few times only to realise they’d completely left the cup without me noticing.

They’re supposedly like implants and tbh they’re pretty convincing when you get them in something good, I really like them I just wish I had more than one bra for them…

Looking at it from a quantum field perspective, pretty much. If the only interactions are through gravity then the underlying field’s evolution can’t be influenced by anything else, I have no real idea what the implications of that would be because we don’t have a QFT for gravity.

Got any recommendations for a music player?

I’ve paid for symfonium and love it tbh, it works really well, has great customizability and the offlining of favourited albums is so so nice. It has an internal download cache, but it can also export files to your downloads folder the way jellyfin does at the moment. My only gripe is that it’s not FOSS.

Yo Mr Inbetween is awesome, my boyfriend got me to watch it with him way back when we started dating

I once spent an entire evening removing nazi homophobic posters from my uni campus, wheat paste fucking sucks to get off even with water. I had a spray bottle with me and for most of them I had to just scratch off the worst parts and leave them up.

The phrase “we aren’t free until we’re all free” applies to animals as much as humans, and thinking otherwise is straight up bigotry. That so few extend leftist thought to the rest of the living world is a travesty, if you’ve managed to come around to leftist thinking then you’ve absolutely been capable of challenging your pre-conceived biases and this is just another step in that process.

All that said, I’m not one to judge people for not agreeing with this. It took me an exceptionally long time and the right circumstances to finally reassess my reasoning and to realise it was absurdly flawed, hypocritical and informed by propaganda.

I’ve just recently started on meds and now not eating is a significantly more common problem, worst of all the shakes are gone too so I keep going all day on nothing.

Well I’m being a little deceptive for the joke of course, but he just felt like Jesus was sitting in the chair and then talked to the invisible Jesus.

The guy ended up doing a bunch of stuff at my highschool and which really bugged me because he only ever had surface level religious phrases to say (motivational speaker kinda stuff but with more Jesus) that glossed over some really big issues we were all facing at the time.

Ah yeah “all atheists just hate god,” I forgot that was a thing. Could be the case, it was a long time ago

I once met a guy who became a priest because he had a religious experience while talking to a chair.

The weirdest one I ever got was in highschool, someone said “how can you not believe in god, god is love” and I still don’t understand how that’s meant to be an argument.

It would be easier and faster to just train it on the stuff you want it to output. There are hundreds of billions of weights in models like gpt, and no one really knows what any individual one does.

We have an RRFM, but I’ve never actually made it out to it before. The only interesting thing I know is that they run bike repair workshops as part of it

Trans inclusive radical misogyny

Personally I don’t, I can see someone not hating that kind of humour as much as me thinking it’s funny, in which case I guess it would be.

Similar experience from my mum at first, but I guess after talking to me and my brother while we both go for assessments she finally accepted she most likely has ADHD too lol

But yeah, she’s a nurse who doesn’t think I should take medicine to make my life easier, just cause.

Yes! Omg I’m glad it’s not just me, it’s so annoying that I can’t really drink any of the beers I used to love.

I’m just being silly, but the translation here is something like:

We all understand gender in our own unique way, based on a shared understanding of some broader concept

Changing our understanding and relationship to gender as a concept is possible, and may lead to you realising your own gender was something other than what you’d previously assumed.

The gender binary is ass.

Gender is expressed as an N dimensional vector in the tangent space at a point on a larger N dimensional pseudo-Riemannian gender manifold.

Travelling on a path through this manifold can act to rotate your gender identity once you arrive at a new point so be careful where you step, some paths are known to crack eggs.

Mapping the manifold onto a 2D socially constructed gender Cartesian plane introduces singular points and so is considered a dangerous and largely useless construction.
