The next Bond movie should be a remake of Goldeneye (1995) except this time the whole thing about Janus is that she transitioned and resents Bond for his treatment of women. Also, she wins at the end

hypothesis: flirting with single mums is as fun now as it was in my twenties reality: I am no longer in my twenties and subject to catch strays and existential damage from casual observations that if I'd had a child at the same point in life, they, also, would be an adult in their twenties right now

I made a comic about this guy a while back
Random Access Memories by J. F. Safeway, 3/29/2023, a comic illustrated in SuperPaint for black and white Macintoshes

You know that thing kids do where they'll just lie about any dumb thing for playground clout?

Cartoon child koala with a Garfield shirt and a lot of wavy dark hair, on swing: "ACKSHULLY my uncle works for Disney* and he sez in the next Aladding, the Genie DIES.**

Asterisks indicate that it is true my uncle worked for Disney, he did not tell me the Genie dies in Return of Jafar.The weirdest version of this I encountered was the kid who clamed that bewigged-late night TV psychic Gary Spivey was his uncle.

A pig child berates that koala child and screams "IS TOO" while crying. There is also a caricature of Gary Spivey and his wig.According to this kid, his Uncle Gary worked at the Ford dealership across the street from Wendy's during the day...

Pig kid: "...because OF COURSE he only has powers at night."

Pig Gary Spivey shows off a truck at Skyline Ford. He says, "let's getcha into one o these bad boys."

Underrated thing in horror movies etc is when they're all gathered around the safely restrained creature, admiring her lethality and wallowing in their hubris, then later the plot happens and you see them realise that means she's escaped containment. Flirting with me long distance works the same way

The guy who once told me he views his gender as "not winning the reincarnation lottery this time around" is having a party and his friend who uses a masc nickname and once told me "I wish I'd been born a man" will be there, so basically, I and a plus one have the opportunity to do the funniest thing

no, YOU'VE been overworking as a way to distract from your rapidly approaching birthday that worked so well you genuinely forgot about it until people started asking you for gift ideas and when the party is. Could an avoidant person do THIS? (presents labour output you'd expect of a 6 person team)

transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

weird thing of this industry that us transes seem to have innate advantage at is usage of working name vs legal name or working pronouns vs actual pronouns on a case by case basis, eg: "Misty? Absolutely, I'll pass that along to her" (hangs up phone) "Hey, can you message Leaf and tell him [blank]?"

Still from the cult Australian film Two Hands (1999) starring Rose Byrne and Heath Ledger. In this scene, a child crouches at the gutter of a roadside, near a parked car and a dead body that has been dumped near the car. The dead body has been photoshopped out and replaced with that of Peter Griffin from the cartoon show Family Guy. He is fatally injured.

still from the show The Venture Brothers, which is kind of like if The Boys were way funnier but also way less sexy, in which a smiling strong jawed man (Jonas Venture Sr) is saying something with a speech bubble edited into the lower frame to make it look like what he is saying is the quoted post (he has a son named Rusty he mistreats)

We're doing fun CBT where any time I don't realise I'm being hot, because I'm not used to being treated as such, I get a "hey Tess" and platonically flashed some titties, and the ensuing "what was that for?" and followup "dressing like/doing/expressing that" is genuinely rewiring parts of my brain
