GenX butch transbian working in the shaft alley of a pocket seiner listening to Team Dresch seeks same- or any human on this earth who knows what all those words mean.
Tell me your life if being an egg were nothing to be ashamed of.
My gf and i are about the same age but she came out much later. Under the Benjamin standards I had to invent a life story where I had always known I was a little girl in a boys body, and these lies have supplanted my actual memories. Also I was very young.
I misread that as he has -a- sword, which raised a number of very niche questions
I don't understand the experience of being an adult egg. Whenever older trans women talk about it, it often seems both regretful and also only in comparison to people who came out younger.

If I could ask my older-crack friends, describe the experience beyond the "if only", there is richness there!

food stamps all arrive on the first of the month, doncha know, that's why everywhere is sold out of beer on the second /s
Reading _Light From Uncommon Stars_ and I have never found anything as distressing as the Endplague, the book's answer to the Fermi Paradox: civilizations eventually confront despair and their own mortality with atavistic self-murder.
culturally a lot closer than even mainland Asian cultures two thousand years ago. World religions are world religions.
I never felt okay with the appropriation argument for Buddhism. Like it crossed from Nepal to Indonesia in a few hundred years- if you go with the common theory, US Buddhism grew out of books and teachers from Japan in the early mid-20th century, at a time when the US and Japan were
Something I heard a Lebanese refugee say in an interview once: if they say it'll only last a week find an apartment. If they say it'll be done in a month find a job. If they say it'll all be over in a year learn the language; you're never going home.
I just mean, I always said I'd only ever move towards something and not away, but the thing is sometimes I don't get a choice.
I cannot express how much I want to stay. In this country, in my little off-the-road town where the postmaster brings my accidentally-unclaimed packages to my housemate on his rescue squad shift and people call me for their bake sale fundraisers. Where I know the berry and mushroom spots.

But...
Funny thought- both the current democratic party and capitalism have the same response to everything: "yeah, but what if you didn't have a choice?"
Hey! Don't do my man Victor Hugo dirty like that!
I first knew about the historical figure in the context of the whiskey rebellion, essentially a real estate scam to dispossess poor farmers in what was then the West.

Can I please hate him without "you just don't think a Black man can play a founding father"?
Still waiting on a paycheck but will order
This does nothing to assuage my fear that the democrats' first priority is always the next election, specifically ensuring all public actions leading up to an election are as nondisruptive as possible. Winning, in this worldview, is natural and losing is the unfortunate outcome of someone fucking up
I was wondering if that was just some other dialect. I only know fusha and also i suck at it.
If your supervisor ever tells you that in order to remain in employee housing you have to Venmo a thousand bucks to his personal account, call HR.

I know calling HR is usually worthless or even suicidal but occasionally they do get it right.

How's everybody else's Halloween weekend?

Is the argument that Israel is a colony of... Britain? Again? Wasn't there a war or something?

Also Israeli third-worldism is an interesting platform...
