Megan "Weird" Contrails

Threats work! Good to know, good to know.

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

so far the only concrete thing ai has done is make the entire tech market worse and every consumer facing tech product less usable or accessable

“But we can’t appear to soft on, you know, countries with oil. It doesn’t focus-test that well in certain suburbs of Virginia.”

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

Medically, sure, a drop in androgens affects a number of tissues, but it's not some existential "need." Your muscles do well with exercise, lymph is pumped, blood profusion improves in the brain, but you're not committing a "bio sin" for not being on a Stairmaster.

NSFW, I guess
Bro, why did Kagi Quick Answer(tm) source a TERF blog to answer something re: HRT? It went on and on about *male* penises "clearly" craving *male* hormones.

“Let me appeal to red hat Ohio diners and/or just pray Trump didn’t see an article about it.” Truly spineless.

Here's a bitter pill - pulling out a camera to record a party or situation you weren't comfortable with? You'd just get called a narc and thrown out of the party. Post it on MySpace and you'd get a narc, eight slurs, and removed from every Top 8.

So no, no, I don't think you'd fit in there, guys.

Y2K is returning as an "aesthetic" and I'm not sure Gen Z know how little they'd enjoy visiting the era. R-slurs, racist slurs, queer slurs, "smear the queer" on playgrounds, severe anorexia as a model behavior, like--

Kids, it's a lost past for a reason.

I know everyone is saying AI is doing this but I think it's the entire economy sucking shit that's doing this and they're just using AI as an excuse.

man good luck hosting a world cup or an olympics, let alone something like a sxsw

You know, even given inflation and price gouging, still tend to feel this way. The demand to incorporate generative AI, though—

Life lately has all been work, and my industry is small enough it’s probably easy to triangulate who I am based on the release schedule

All I know is I wish I had more time to screw around in fandom

Big caveat: as a white cis AMAB-passing man for 37 years, relative danger where I’ve lived, not looking for violins. I’m not nearly so visibly queer - well, yet.

It’s just, damn, yeah, enough out there ACTUALLY wanted me dead even then

“Oh wait I’m like square in the murder-fantasy column for using they/them”

I swear I earned a Master’s

“Yeah hey I guess I AM the ‘other’ Nazis keep fantasizing about murdering”
“Wait, technically since I knew I wasn’t straight”
“Oh that was a target I had for 20 years and had maybe dim awareness of ACTUAL DANGER”

Your brains get smart but your head get dumb

Fun thing about cognition post-COVID:

Eventually you recover just enough to accurately grasp all your minority stressors

But still not well enough to deal with it, rationally at least

💉 - Saturday’s injection day. Still a little odd to swap out bore needles on the syringes, but estrogen valerate is so damn thick.

Popped a spiro before a nap and I swear I can feel it. Similar sensations when I tried an E blocker a while back, fortunately not as painful.

Life update: finally started HRT

Why yes I did psych myself out for 5 years about it

Yeah, see, DON’T do that

Sometimes I take offence on behalf of my past selves. Overheard, “weirdos who’d be werewolves if you’d let them.”

Who among us were not weirdos online at 13? Back off, they’re cool and take on outdoors time, it’s,,, aspirational

“Purposely”? Purposefully? Jesus Christ.

I’m a grumpy old Millennial, but “actually” and the gang is overplayed.

“It’s actually lowkey fun how this weird cookie recipe is good” — it’s not surprising a cookie with pistachio might be good! Nuts and chocolate go well together! Who are you trying to convince?!

Well there was a Buzz Lightyear movie that implied lesbians existed so now I hope you understand

We’re just Russia with hot dogs now.

Sure. He doesn’t care because he knows he’s getting the Cadillac-tier golden parachute and “the browns” get disappeared. You can’t frighten people with equal treatment when they know they’re above it.

“Let me get back to sipping PSL’s and play-fighting about liberal-conservative coding of it versus Krispy Kreme” really shouldn’t be taken credulously, but here we are
