I try not to let my own well of cynicism impact my advising style too much, but I don't always succeed

Slack message from Michael Ann that says:

yes, but this would require thought and effort
and people hate that shit

I've made a lot of big choices in the past two years, but it's pretty clear to me that saying "yes" when @wildebutch.bsky.social asked me to marry her was the most correct and most rewarding choice I've ever made.

These machines are not smart,” DeVito concludes. “They are foolish mirrors, in some ways, of our own culture.”

Yes, Elizabeth, many of us *do* believe that children should be taken out of abusive situations, especially when the parents have a long history of child abuse and medical neglect. It's not a very hard concept to grasp. Refusing childhood vaccination is medical neglect. Also, straight-up evil. So.

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD: "Gotta admit, I'm surprised by the number of people here who think that parents who don't vaccinate their kids should have their kids removed from their home or that the kids should be vaccinated at gunpoint"

These are the words of a dangerous, craven ghoul of a person who is unsafe for all trans people to be around Thread claims to be about disliking "cissexual" as a term (and it *is* a deeply shitty term we should stop using) but here we see the actual point they're trying to make, and it's disgusting

Yes, losing medical care (including but not limited to hrt) can cause people to have thoughts of selfharm and worse

This is VERY VERY different from "if I don't have insulin I will die" or "taking my albuterol away will make it so I can't breathe" so please stop telling me losing hrt will kill you

My advice to everyone is to get a wife who inspires you to send texts like this all the time

Sent text bubbles:

Jesus Christ you know how to be romantic

Everyone should be taking notes

Uh oh, these folks would probably hate the next week of my class then....

Personally, I think James Cameron *SHOULD* personally hunt and kill all AI with a bow and arrow, I think this is a good use of his time, and a surprisingly practical solution. Let's cut him a deal: he hunts and kills all AI, we all pretend to care about more Avatar movies.

I don’t check in on Twitter very often anymore, but it sure does remain world headquarters of trans girls saying deeply stupid and harmful shit and then claiming all the other trans girls mad at them just misunderstood Hormones literally fix dysphoria for most of us that the point my gods

Some of y'all aren't gonna like hearing that neither hormones nor surgery fix dysphoria. You gotta actually put in the work to learn to love yourself to help alleviate it too.

One year ago I married my butch! It has been a hellish year out in the world, but through it all we have only found deeper love for each other. My entire world is under attack, yet she makes me feel like the luckiest femme in the world every single day. Happy anniversary, my love 💜

This is one of the photos - idk it's not terrible for almost 40, still haven't learned to smile in a way that a photo can capture, though. Personally, I prefer video content of myself. That's how I got a wife, being a doofus on video. But this pic is... fine? It's certainly extant, I'll give it that

A white woman with very long curly hair in a tie-dye tank top tries but fails to smile. She's pretty, but not in a marketable way, more of a non-threatening way. Her tits are... fine. IDK they're the biggest in her immediate family but also she feels weird about them in comparison to her overall frame. Not sure if that's actually visible from the photo but IDK maybe people using screen readers deserve a little extra content, a little "DVD extra" if you will.

My lovely wife draws me a lot, and I absolutely love it. To be drawn, painted, to be the object of one's artistic expression? Spectacular, especially for a trans girl. That said, when I ask myself "which drawing captures my vibe best," I think it's maybe these two quick sketches she did a while back
