Hey so the thing I alluded in my latest essay? That's out now, for free!

This is a project we've been working on for over a year at this point, and I'm so happy to see it out. Weird to see my name next to some amazing writers and scholars like this! playstorypress.org/books/the-ps...

ok theyre done i can rest

3 ogroid theridons in a green and orange colour scheme. These 3 have a vaguely khornatw feel, the champion having an iron knuckle and double headed axe, the banner bearer with a club and a red bel'akor banner, and the musician with a sword

next 3 vaguely nurgle. Banner has two spokes of a chaos star in sickly green, all have axes. Theyre the only 3 in full armour

Last 3 are decidedly slaanesh. Banner has 2 slaaneshi shields at the top and a purple freehand of slaanesh. Champion has 3 arms, 2 rapiers and a shield with a mirror on it. Musician has a glaive

Seuraavat eduskuntavaalit meni puoluevalinnan osalta tosi vaikeaksi. Äänestääkö Vasemmistoliittoa, Vasemmistoliittoa, Vasemmistoliittoa, vai Vasemmistoliittoa? 🤔

Oh so THAT's what you look like. Good pic!

I think the Ghamak situation is fascinating, mostly because it mobilized the hegemonic anxiety towards GW better than perhaps anyone before, to the tune of some 20K€, with actually very little to show for it.

I haven't done jack shit for two days. Nothing constructive. I'm just feeling the dread and not being able to think or get myself into the work mood. And I have a DL coming.

Here's hoping something good happens next.

European human rights chief warns against trans exclusion in the UK

The European commissioner for human rights is in step with GLP’s ongoing legal challenge to the EHRC’s interim guidance, where we argue that the regulator’s approach would be incompatible with trans people’s human rights 👇

"So yes, doing something financially stupid was spiritually smart."

This is what I tell myself anyways when I go to an event (such as, to UK for two weeks in June) and I feel stressed about the expenses (especially as unemployed/fundless). What I gain outweights the material cost.

Hi!
While I’m still struggling to have any ressemblance of human functioning, I somehow had an idea for a tiny comic like i used to make a while ago on insta. Here’s my favourite one from back then, still very accurate with describing how I feel.. introverted navel gazing kind of shit :p

Title cards reading “longing, or a personal take on the trans agenda”, on a green watercolour and gouache drawing of grass and flowers, the trans agenda written in the trans pride Colors

Watercolour self portrait of me staying at my favourite spot in my flat, sitted at my window near my plants with a coffee in hand and a bird on the tree just in front of my window. The text reads “I sometimes have an intense longing”

Watercolour self-portrait of me eating under my blankets in my bed, with plushies and cushions (?) and books, with a plate of noodles on my blanket and my mouth full. The text reads “for peace and quiet without guilt”

Drawing of me standing on one foot, with six arms each grabbing a symbol of one of my many interests, miniatures, drawing, music and so on. The text read “for the energy to make all the things I want to make”

Well, sure, but also, I have the self-confidence of a deflated swim toy, so let's just say that this is a bit stressful

Hyvä kysymys: ”Miksi velkasuhde pitäisi painaa 40 prosenttiin? Jo EU-sääntöjen mukainen 60 prosentin tavoite on Suomelle hyvin tiukka.”

”Hallituksen oman arvion mukaan 40 prosentin velkasuhteen saavuttamisessa tulee kestämään 50 vuotta.”

Viimeistään nyt voi sanoa heipat hyvinvointivaltiolle.

Long Play @longplay.fi · Aug 26

Lotta Närhi kirjoittaa kommenttikirjoituksessaan, että velkajarru on myös ympäristön kannalta Orpon hallituksen merkittävin lakiesitys.

Jos esitys menee läpi, luvassa on puoli vuosisataa talouskuria. Ympäristökriisin ratkaiseminen vaatisi kuitenkin säästöjen sijaan nykyistä enemmän rahoitusta.

Hallituksen ajama velkajarru voi tarkoittaa 50 vuoden säästökuuria

The Transfeminine Review @thetransfemininereview.com · 1d

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

My brain when I'm not sure whether a cute transfem flirted with me or just made a fun joke

Does "oh so you are a local delicacy" count as a flirting if that was also a reference to a joke earlier about trans people being a local delicacy of the commuter town I live in
