narratively I am a fan of romances that don’t ever actually become romances

I don’t mean in an aromantic life partner way, I mean romantic tension that is never resolved or acted upon for whatever reason but by the end it’s clear that both characters experienced the love of their lives without ever acknowledging it as such. but they know. they know.

Ok so today I was on the bus with another trans guy and we were talking about how hard it is to get testosterone. The waiting lists, the price, all the doctors you have to go to, that kind of stuff. Except, we were calling it ’T’, like you do when you’re both closeted and in public.

Then suddenly the elderly lady sitting behind us was like ‘young men, either I’m going crazy or you both have never heard of supermarkets, they have shelves full of tea there! Do you need directions to one?’

To which my buddy starts to explain, because why not. ‘Well you see, we’re both trans, and… ’

The lady didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. ‘Oh no, I don’t mind that at all! Now do you want to know how to get to a place that sells tea? I’m actually heading there right now!’

We let her take us to the supermarket. We let her show us, excitedly, where the tea was. We both bought loads.

Tucker Carlson misunderstands that in everyday speech, "theory" refers to a hunch or a speculation, but in science, it refers to a comprehensive explanation of nature.

Many scientific theories are so well-established that no new evidence is likely to change them.

E.g: evolution

Tucker was on Joe Rogan.

I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma's cats staying with me.

- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.

- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.

- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I'm sleeping and injured.

That's love. 🐈‍⬛🐈❤️

In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.

Republicans can't see a lawmaker with a 12 year-old wife as problematic.

Draft-dodging con artist using fake Marines is so on-brand for Trump/MAGA. #StolenValor

Putin's puppet shitting on US military as Russians put bounties on US troops, and Trump did fcuking nothing, using fake Marines.

Entire Right Wing loves the dishonesty.

Forever fascinated at those feminist* posts that manage to be about 30% trans-supportive, and go:

"People who menstruate are affected by this terrible law, and men will never know how it feels to have their bodies treated as public property like that."

"If you are someone of any gender who has ever had to wear a bra because your breasts were heavy enough to hurt your back, I bet you wish that you could let men feel that pain for even just one day."

And like... They take such a long detour around saying "women" that you think "Oh, they are deliberately being trans inclusive, they're accepting that trans men aren't women and that trans women might not have this common-but-not-universal experience that is often needlessly essentialised to Womanhood when actually it's more about something unrelated." But then they go "MEN" in a way that slams home "Anyone who doesn't have this experience is ACTUALLY A MAN, anyone who has this experience is ACTUALLY A WOMAN, or if they persist in calling themselves men they should be thought of as a perpetrator of this problem rather than someone who experiences it."
