So grateful to @apapertrail and @CatapultStory for giving me the chance to share some complicated feels!

Audrey "Mal" Olivero@apapertrail

There are pieces I edit at turtle speed because I can’t stop lingering on a scene, like I’ve found a very beautiful, loving place that I might never find again. @elanorbroker’s essay on finding the space for boyhood as a trans mother is one of those: catapult.co/stories/son-bo…

@Puckmeat Yeah, it means a lot of exposed people are getting hit hard! People were very frustrated before, reasonably, that we weren’t focused enough on that! That all matters! But ppl have every reason to leave the scene, if they’re still with us then they’re with us

@Puckmeat It all means a lot differently in the backlash era. In a lot of ways honestly but one is like with all that’s going on, why would you be here if you didn’t belong here. Ppl are hanging in, who cares how they do it

Kinda crazy to me how "nonbinary is a type of trans, if you are nonbinary you are trans" was just a fact in 2014 but now no one can decide the situation. Im still team they are transgender, even the ones who push back at that label. Sorry you all are in this with me.

Unreal how awful Washingtonians manage to make ocean beaches, just a totally different and much worse world

English

It’s seriously under-remarked how just going by listed towns here, Oregon beaches and beach towns are like world heritage jewels and Long Beach is where you go to get run over by some chud and his smoke-belching truck

Why are there basically no major cities on this stretch of the US West Coast?

I would never move to the PNW. I don't care how nice Portland and Seattle are, the woods up there are deep and dark. These are not fun and lighthearted northeast woods, these are dense and sinister northwest woods, bad spirits dwell within them

@LinkofSunshine @thechosenberg There was an Aha moment getting more familiar with law job markets and salaries realizing that recent grads who went BigLaw often got their impressive gross salaries by basically working two entire pretty-well-paying full time high stress jobs You’re right, but there’s that too

I am once again reminding you that a “9-5 with a high salary” does not exist

blue@bluewmist

hot take: 9-5 with a high salary is better than owning your own business.

@thereisnobeth 40+? Biggest thing is to work closely with surgeons to get as specific a map as possible about what they actually need cleared and for what parts / reasons, esp. if it’s through a hospital w multiple providers Scraping also does work but they don’t want you banking on it

This is a joke post but Kira having lost her family in the occupation and Julian running away from his abusive parents and both of them finding a new family on DS9 is incredibly sweet

As a trans woman it is sometimes wild to stop and think about how a global hegemon committed seppuku because you got a sex change

@trefinedAura I also think there was a sense that even the split / divided / micro-identities viewpoint held a lot of space it was still seen as ultimately additive, complementary, and overall useful to introducing broader perspectives in a time where expansion felt less fragile pre-backlash

English

reasonably well-adjusted lawyer@noraesque·2 Nis

@trefinedAura As in, this was useful for certain specificities that had the mic. And often, wasn't fully thought through. Kind of like the "put X on gov't IDs instead of nothing" is something that a lot of people are rethinking now

English

jolene@trefinedAura·2 Nis

To say more: Define sex. Now define gender. You might have used each word in the other’s definition. That’s because the two terms are two faces of the same concept: sex-gender.

jolene@trefinedAura

worth noting, perhaps, that of all the people attempting to disagree with me about this, no one approaches the actual first point of disagreement directly, namely the sex-gender distinction

@trefinedAura queer advocates pushed that distinction to try and communicate certain facets, introduce certain complications and nuances to broader audiences. conservatives take it and create new partitions and boxes. but before that this overlap, interlink, broader relation was often baseline

English

reasonably well-adjusted lawyer@noraesque·2 Nis

@trefinedAura a key dissonance in the current drive to erase trans civil rights by weaponizing "sex ≠ gender" is that until this latest debate round, CR law has used the two functionally interchangeably within the remedial response to that blended socio-cultural-biological phenomenon

a great green millennial feminist came by the castle one day, and offered a challenge. Any one of us could strike her with her axe, and then one year later, we should arrive at her castle, where she would return the stroke
