Ancient history...ancient ancient history my friend.
It feels really weird to reference another website in this post so...I'm sorry if this steps on toes but I've found dreamwidth.org to be pretty cool. They've got an awesome diversity statement. It's blogging with a social aspect though, which isn't that similar to this. It does have some communities.
So sorry to hear this.
THE GIANT TUXEDO CAT OHHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM
I got some lovely stuff but wasn't thanked for what I sent. Totally ok but I feel bad cuz I spent like $15 on what I sent and received about $40 worth of stuff. I don't really feel that bad just a little lol. Maybe a suggested dollar value next year? :)
I'm jay. I'm a fat dude with a bad knee. I am not sure I should run (will check with doc due to knee--believe it's a bad meniscus) but I like the spirit of this sort of thing because it's non judgmental so I will follow the group. Thanks!
"You’re all lesbians now, America." P much
I have a pin on my bookbag that says I love trans people. A lot of people here in Madison look queer. I feel like the ones that compliment my pin either are queer or trans, or are close enough to fulfill that little need for queertrans connection with strangers I have always loved.
I like that it also putatively marks me as queer even though my presentation is so markedly not hip lol.
I would love to be a part of an even more elementary fitness group. I jokingly refer to it as "bed to around the block"
Yesterday in Wisconsin...
D'oh!
3 reminds me of something and it's killing me that I can't remember what. Is it MySpace maybe? Lol I picked houses only because they were cute.
Hi welcome! I'm also trans male.
Did you ever listen to the first season of the Serial podcast? Even without the true crime angle, it is sort of a time capsule to the hot tech of 1999, and it's fucking fascinating.
I thought about 9/11 also. For a while demographers were going to call the early 80s babies "the 9/11 generation", but I think they realized how awful that sounds. I very clearly remember what I was doing on 9/11, hour by hour. It's the first time I used the Internet in real time to follow a big news story--i still remember obsessively clicking on yahoo news and I remember when they put a breaking news type story directly on their search page as a link. Earlier this year I was in some silly Facebook meme group and so many really tasteless 9/11 memes were popping up and I was like, wut. But it dawned on me that young millennials and generation Z kids have a totally different relationship with the events of that day.
The especially weird thing is, I often try to remember a world without an omnipresent internet and I can't really come up with much. I was 15 the first time I got online (I'm sort of estimating based on when I remember getting a computer with a modem) and at first it seemed like just a weird hobby or fad.
My brain maps for a male body. I have no idea why, but at over ten years on testosterone I don't even care why anymore.
The problem isn't so much that gender critical people are gender critical (which I believe you to be.) it's that this gets aimed like a laser on trans people when we are no more gendered/sexed than cis people and in fact we are oppressed by the very things you are calling out. Most cis people do have some gender/sex--they just don't have to move mountains to do anything about it. It's incredibly cis privileged to question my understanding of my gender/sex without interrogating your own. If cis people want to know what it feels like to be a trans person, they need to imagine having different characteristics. Cis men when thinking about is often imagine themselves as trans women, but they really would be better served imagining themselves as trans men. What if they were the same person but menstruated and had breasts and a high voice? I can't imagine they wouldn't have dysphoria, just like trans people do.
Also transitioning is incredibly effective for one's stability and mental health. When you meet one trans person who finally feels centered in their body, it seems to me that would be proof enough.
I'm 36 and on the cusp of X and millennial. I used to be pretty fascinated with generation type stuff until I felt like millennial stereotyping was getting out of hand.
I feel like I interact with a lot of Generation Z on the internet ("on the internet" being probably an old fashioned phrase) and I don't get all your memes but I still think you all are pretty neat.
I put a flat scratcher next to the wall. This has caused her to start on the flat scratcher and move on to the wall, like a buffet of scratching places lol.
I never have trimmed her claws. I dunno--I watched a friend do that to his cat once and he cut to the quick and the cat bled for a long time ): Some websites say aluminum foil can be a deterrent.
Pipik! ;)
:D is there gilmore talk somewhere on imzy? Would love to talk the revival with folks.
I wonder if there's some savvy way to like...monetize the weird and expired stuff. Like turn it into an internet auction with proceeds to that food bank. Well, there's probably laws around expired food. Maybe a fund drive to drop the canned octopus from the highest height.
I used to extreme coupon and donate the stuff, mostly toiletries. But their buyers could probably get stuff cheaper because it's not as easy to really "extreme" coupon anymore.
We have an annual family watching of the claymation Christmas special :)
