I think it’s important to let guys be gender non conforming without telling them they’re a girl, cause actually misgendering people is still shit even when you are pro trans. “You’re a girl, an egg waiting to crack, and that’s ok” how about you are a boy and a man and it’s still ok if you want to do something that doesn’t align with traditional ideals of your gender. You can still be he/him in a skirt and makeup.
One of the things I loved about Becky Chambers’ “psalm for the wild built” is that the main character genders they/them and it is never discussed beyond that.
Your gender is your decision and no one else needs to know anything more than what you want to tell them.

Why would you hide that in the notes
I want an ice maker and enough room in the freezer for a pizza and that is IT.
I want the dumbest fridge you got. Gimme the orange tabby of refrigeration. I want my fridge to pull the wrong lever and turn my enemies into llamas instead of killing them. I want the following features: keeps things cold, has compartment that keeps things colder, a door that opens and shuts.
“Here at Stupid Jeff’s Dumb Appliance Warehouse we sell the dumbest fucking appliances. Check out this fridge. This fridge won’t ask you about your day, this dumb fucking fridge doesn’t know what an Elon Musk is and won’t fucking tell you what bullshit that dumb monkey is slapping into his phone today when you try to get some fucking milk. We took out all those "smart” electronics and in their place we put a loaded Glock 9mm that is put right up to that light that turns on when you open the door, which is the smartest thing in this fucking stupid fridge and let me tell you that fucker is on thin goddamn ice, if it gets too smart and tries to turn on before you open that door, the Glock will blow it to hell. Speaking of ice, this stupid fridge makes it. It makes ice, it keeps things cold, it comes with shelves. It’s sturdy enough that when your ex comes back to your place looking for their stuff that they think they left behind like nine months ago and they know that you don’t have it, but they wanted an excuse to come start a fight with you and throw a chair at your head but miss you and hit your fridge MICHAEL, this fridge will keep trucking because it gives zero shits and it only lives to keep things cold. Come to Stupid Jeff’s Dumb Appliance Warehouse, if you ask us if we have an app, we break your kneecaps.“
I absolutely want himbo appliances.

pioneering something called “gritted teeth optimism” where everything is gonna turn out okay even if i have to bite and claw and gnash my way through it
Everything’s gonna be fine and it’s not negotiable.
Everything’s gonna be fine and it’s not negotiable
News flash
No one can tell you you’re doing it wrong if they have no idea what you’re doing.
So keep doing it.

Each time someone rolls a Nat 20, they switch places with the DM and continue the story. Call it “Mad Tea Party D&D.”
I’m in.
Wendy’s probably in too.

i know we’re all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don’t think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i’d share my favorite self-care hand out
brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad
OP this is EXCELLENT
Now THAT’S a self care resource! If you’ve gotten distracted by capitalism’s appropriation of “self-care” and watering the meaning down to nothing this is a super helpful guide to cut through the bullshit.

Unironically if you have Disney+ at this point, cancel it and learn to pirate (if you don’t know how to already)
This isn’t a moral argument, either, though plenty have been made before me that were equally as valid.
With the strike going on, Iger and Co. want to Fuck Us. They want to Fuck You, specifically, whoever you are. Corporations want nothing but money and subservience so PLEASE, don’t passively give them money. If you’re not using it, cancel. If you are using it, find the shows and movies you love in other forms or mediums. They’ll last longer that way anyhow.
The price hikes will continue. They will try and squeeze you for literally every penny you have and then blame you for being poor.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Corporations don’t love you, they need you. Let them beg.
On the one hand, big corporations are totally jerks and go be a pirate. #piracymajor
On the other hand, maybe wait until the strike is over? Because one of the reasons WGA and SAG-AFTRA have NOT called for any boycotts is that they’re using all those people paying for streaming as a bargaining point.
If you have a better way to ensure our writers and actors can have a living wage while persuing their art, I’m all for it (#universalbasicincome) but until then, I’d personally like them to have as many bargaining chips as possible.
