A part of me is like, "oh god I'm just going to be posting about transitioning nonstop, I hope I don't bore and alienate people" and then I remember that I'm CHANGING MY FUCKING GENDER. It's not like that week when I got obsessed with Robocop Trivia. It's kind of a major life thing.

If you picked this name solely for the bit you are a personal hero.

Hunter Felt @hunterfelt.bsky.social · 3h

Oh it's not all, of course, but it was really funny to see that term fall out of favor after these tendencies became a pattern. It's now just "being a decent human being" more than a self-identifier.

It is funny how so many of the "Male Feminists" of the
'00s and '10s who were not sex pest ended up not being male. Lol.

the elite are a monolith. the divided left-right interests we see our society as having? they do not have that division: even between their left and right, their interests are uniform. that's why they see each other as peers; why there's dems and repubs, labour and aristocrats on the party islands.

He argued with civility. It's a start.

What disagreements, exactly, was he bridging via his work and words?

This is a unprecedented ratio. I'm kinda impressed.

Like we can argue that people like her want dunking quote-tweets to spread their message but at some point you want at least one person not calling you
a shithead.

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I fear that in the debate over protesting Harris we will lose the fact that the person most responsible for the genocide in Occupied Palestine is Joe Biden.

The man is not an uwu smol bean grandpa. He attacked Anita Hill and helped put Clarence Thomas on SCOTUS.

If I'm weirdly open about this shit, it's a product of my experimental Hippie Libertarian upbringing. I probably got exposed to some stuff a little too young but as a queer kid, the lack of enforced sexual guilt probably saved my life.

I followed a half dozen porn accounts during the Week Of Being Extremely Horny and then completely forget about them. Except sometimes they post a bunch of videos at once and it's like when you order something online and then forget about it. Like a nice surprise to brighten up the day.

That this was unintentional makes it ABSOLUTELY AMAZING tbqh.

An Atmosphere rap beef would absolutely be of the "Minnesota Nice" variety so this is actually a brilliant bit on a conceptual level.

Trent Reznor is like the definitive Trans Ally very true.

Hunter Felt @hunterfelt.bsky.social · 20h

For those who don't know the lore. Apparently, we both had a lot in common and were both named Hunter and they thought it would be a cool social experiment to put us together and see what would happen. We both ended up becoming trans women with niche online followings is what happened.

Hunter Felt @hunterfelt.bsky.social · 20h

Yeah, if you're super into industrial you are either trans/nonbinary/genderqueer or some flavor of fascist or both. The scene kinda weeds out everybody else.

I was a huge NIN fan in middle school. My first online posts were to a NIN AOL message board. I got exposed to a much wider range of industrial music when I roomed with @defendnowave.bsky.social in my first year at New College.

Hunter Felt @hunterfelt.bsky.social · 20h

I just realized I have not listened to a single industrial album since I've made my HRT appointment. How? Industrial is like THE trans musical genre. Fuck it, we're doing "20 Jazz Funk Greats."

There is no universe where the Coil "Hellraiser" soundtrack isn't one of the greatest albums ever recorded. I want this so badly.

K. Thor Jensen @kthorjensen.bsky.social · 20h

reading about HELLRAISER for bar trivia. love that it originally had the working title "Sadomasochists from Beyond the Grave" and Clive Barker wanted Coil to do the soundtrack but the financiers were extremely upset by that idea

Hunter Felt @hunterfelt.bsky.social · 20h

Announcing you're transitioning kinda gives you "birthday boy" privilege for a bit, so I wonder if I could use that to get Tom to go easy on me if I called in to The Best Show.

Of course, he would also immediately recognize that I was doing that in a calculating manner so it could backfire.
