This is so fun 😻

Ugh

Feeld was the app I got most traction on. Mostly focusing lately on meeting more people IRL. I’ve been going to trans support groups and meetups, 3 different ones recently; each has a discord server, which I’ve started participating in. Making new friends, some may become FWB or partners eventually

Well that definitely gets my attention 🤔😻

Trans enby gurl sitting on a park bench smiling and looking at her beloved friend who is taking the picture. She’s wearing a t-shirt with an image of a two-headed black cat with bat wings and occult symbols. On the shirt is a pronoun pin that says “SHE/HER.” The pin incorporates the following pride flag designs: nonbinary, transgender, polyamory and berrisexual. In the background is a park and in the distance the sun is setting behind trees

My friend Heather took this picture yesterday, she said “the light is perfect, I have to take a picture of you.” It’s one of my favorite pics of myself. I feel it captures my “you’re my friend and I love you” vibe. My friends mean so much to me ❤️

I’m thinking a lot about William Gibson’s Jackpot concept these days 😬😭😵‍💫

Chameleon Vagina sounds like a good name for a punk feminist band 🤔

This is kind of how I feel about it these days

Shows a blatant disregard for biological categories if you ask me 🤨🤣

Spotify and Substack lie within the same toxic stable as X

@zil.bsky.social and I are asking the same question: WHY, Martha? 🤣

<thinking about what happens when two tongue bodies really, really like each other> 🤔🫣😳

Holy shit Tilly is really on to something here 🫣😳😜😈🤣

“Strange nerd” is an anagram of “transgender.” This makes a LOT of sense 🤓🏳️‍⚧️😸

I hope to get to one of these some day. I bet they are tons of fun

Someday I hope to go to one of these

Sedgwick’s prescription is “reparative reading,” a theory of more flexible sense-making that can hold truth and provide an antidote to the overwhelming paranoia of our times. While the conventional wisdom states, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean you don’t have enemies,” Sedgwick turns this formula on its head: “Just because you have enemies doesn’t mean you have to be paranoid.” Or to put it another way, having a direct understanding of systemic oppression (the healthcare system, police violence, the fascist state) does not condemn a person to a categorically paranoid point of view. To practice a worldview more expansive and more open to possibilities than paranoia does not mean you have to deny the reality or gravity of oppression.

Feeling paranoid about stochastic violence and weaponized media? Me too. That's why I can't stop thinking about this incredibly helpful essay by @littlewow.online in @flaminghydra.com about the idea of "reparative reading" as a corrective to the "paranoid style." flaminghydra.com/issue-511/

Sea of Possibility Along the coast of British Columbia, First Nations lead a bold effort to protect an intact marine ecosystem.

The Great Bear Sea moves from pact to practice in Canada. A decade after a 2014 agreement, the 101,200.0 km² Indigenous-led marine protected area network in the Great Bear Sea is shifting from pledge to implementation. buff.ly/fw4yA9N

It's a bit frustrating that I've written a cool children's book with polyamorous family with nerdy elements and most people who I tell want to read it but I can't get any agent interested in it yet. Anyone out there?

Bringing Optical Color to Ultrasound By combining two imaging techniques, Lihong Wang and his colleagues have developed a tool that can image blood vessels, in color, while still being able to clearly detect tissue morphology

Scientists in California have created a new way to see inside the body by combining ultrasound with a light-based technique called photoacoustic imaging. The result produces fast 3D images that show both the shape of soft tissues and how blood is flowing.
