I feel like this post is a great excuse to one again say that Wrath Goddess Sing by @mayadeane.bsky.social remains one of the best and most complex retellings of the Illiad i've read and you should all read it

I'm terrible at faces, so if there's someone in a photo who you assume people will recognize, writing their name in the alt text lets me understand the image the same way anyone else would.

Apparently there's a part of my brain that I trained when I was a kid to be really good at managing momentum, and it's very happy that I'm skating again.

like i know everything is gender but i didnt expect 'skaters being instilled with the instinct to protect the goalie bc he's uniquely valuable and vulnerable' to cross wires with toxic chivalry/masculinity and accidentally cause Goalie Forcefem but alright. i need to go lie down.

The huge number of deaths by trans people under the care of NHS gender clinic shows that it is time more people with lived experience become involved in governance and oversight of NHS gender clinics. It is also time the NHS was forced to maintain proper patient records.

I'm actually a *little* more partial to this one, but only because it weaves in character and theme so deftly.

Recently, I did a wonderful interview with the indefatigable @emilystjams.bsky.social about trans people's online information environment and why there are very strong incentives to spread panic. It was a wide-ranging discussion that I think is more relevant than ever.

I saw a *really* dumb Quora question in my email and couldn't resist.

Question: I claimed to be a transgender woman to avoid military service, and now I'm being asked for proof. What should I do?

Answer: I believe the next step is to repeatedly double down on convincing them: buying clothes, choosing a new name, learning makeup, getting a new haircut, training your voice, getting facial hair removal, starting hormones, etc. Along the way, you might also meet an attractive man or woman (depending on your preferences, which might surprise you) who falls in love with the new you, not knowing that it’s all a ruse; you feel intensely guilty about playing along, but you‘re too into them to turn them down. Eventually you realize that you didn’t really do it to avoid military service—it was the truth all along, and now you get to live as a woman for real and become the attractive man or woman’s wife.

At least, that’s how it goes in the trans fiction I’ve read. I’m sure real life works the same way!

When I was growing up, my family was in the habit of putting items that needed to be taken upstairs on the bottom stair so we would remember to do it later. That was just a collective ADHD hack, wasn't it?
