I think we should make English worse.
English is already 3 languages in a trench coat rifling through your pockets looking for loose grammar. Is making it worse possible?

Ach im the exact same but a process has occurred
I'm thinking about this post and i have decided that it is one of those things that is a poem in some undefinable way
All the patches I did for my Poser Jacket. This is the best thing I've ever thought of.
everyone shut up and look at this tote bag my friends got me
In the past few years on TDOV I've just made some blithe joke about it, about visibility, and about being over both. But this year I can't find much to joke about, and I've found myself much more pensive.
Last Friday I laid my best friend to rest. She was a trans woman, and one of the boldest voices I've ever heard for trans people. I met her very early in my transition, and she was so crucial to my own process. Seeing her being openly trans, fierce and fiery, showed me that I too could realize myself and be happy in doing so.
While transphobia was not a direct part of her passing, it was a stone in the path. And we can those same stones are a currently building highways in the US with increasing pace. I know people there, proud amazing trans people, who now have to make choices about their visibility. They worry about their jobs, their safety. Some are even considering fleeing, if they can. I worry for them, for what might happen as things progress. Even living here, in Canada, shielded by an assortment of privileges and ostensible protection of law, I worry what might happen here. As tolerant as Canada purports to be anything that grows in the US creeps across the border like mold. I can already see it starting to.
Its my friend's spirit that finds me today though. One that met the anxieties of visibility with a laugh. One that would extol the joys of being trans, the peace of fulfillment, the beauty in self-creation. One for who transness, even with its challenges, was still a blessing in its own.
Its that spirit I want to celebrate; to lift up and carry forward like a torch in these times that grow darker. I don't want that fire to get drowned out by fear.
So hi, I'm C.
I'm trans.
And I'm not going anywhere.
LMAO
Parasocial relationships are fuckin wild
rage against the machine could sing the names and addresses of LAPD cops and tell you to go smash their windows, and some guys would still be like "well the lyrics are vague and hard to understand so its up to interpretation what the band is trying to say. really it could apply to many political beliefs"
zack de la rocha was writing some of the most specific ass lyrics on earth. if you think theyre vague you might just be stupid

Conservatives: Wow these guys really get my beliefs! WOO! Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me!

Bjork did nothing wrong.
Need to add the circle but ;P
Ya gotta love it
TRANS RESISTANCE SYMBOL (Reposting this so it’s under my new blog name) I’ve long been kind of annoyed with the traditional circle-with-lines-coming-off-it design. Its round but not round, a little too on the nose and imho kinda blasé. I decided to deconstruct it and make it a bit more visually appealing. I also felt in these fucked up times a better symbol was needed for trans resistance and insurrection. Easy to recreate, memorable, visually impacting. The break down is of course the masculine and feminine symbol for trans men and women, the combined symbol for genderqueer identities and the circle crossed by the lines for nonbinary genders. The direction of the lines implies movement, striking out in multiple directions. Included above are a black on white and white on black version with a circle border as well as the glyph itself. The images are 17″x17″ @ 500dpi so if you want you can make stuff and it should be crisp. And because I’m leftist trash have some flags! ALSO: PLEASE SPREAD THIS!!! I want this symbol and it’s ideal to be spread far and wide. I want people to know what it means and that trans people will no longer be forced to reside on the margins of society. We are here, and we are going to fight for our lives with all we have. So long as you’re art/group/statement keeps with these ideals and those of liberation for all trans people (keep it intersectional, folx) then use it! Let me know if you do (tag me/link to this post) cause I wanna see! Also no commercial use w/o asking me first plz.
Enjoy, and keep fighting 💖
FUCK YEAAAAAAAAA
HELL YEAH HELL YEAH
Need to add the circle but ;P
Now that’s a fuckin vest!
I feel like practicing any skill would be way more fun if I could have a lil level increase thing that pops up in front of me every time I do good like in Skyrim
“Push ups increased to level 5”
“Writing dialogue increased to level 37”
“Coping mechanisms (healthy) increased to level 18”
No honestly I would be so much more motivated if I could have an indicator in improvements and I could -see- the incremental increases in skill my efforts are actually making instead of having to second guess myself and my abilities!!
