also might be worth mentioning here is a whole little train of thought i have regarding why i personally don't tuck. basically this: all attempts to "pass" are on some level trying to be seen as cis, but tucking is very specifically trying to *not* be seen as trans. and i don't really want people not to be able to see that i'm trans. in fact, i'm very open about it. what i actually want is to help build a society in which being visibly trans is not a *bad* thing.

like, i understand why people do it and people who tuck, people who go stealth, etc. are valid. but for me personally, i feel like something concrete i can do to contribute towards building that world is to be open and proud about being trans and to refuse to be ashamed of it. to fight to be accepted as trans rather than trying to be seen as cis. i want to be treated as a woman, yes, but i have no issue with people knowing that i'm a *trans* woman.

as a socialist i believe that nothing should be privatized, but it's especially unforgivable for the provision of the fundamental building blocks of modern human existence (food and water, housing, clothing, sanitation, medicine, electricity, communication, education, etc.) to be controlled by corporations whose ultimate reason for existence is the accumulation of profit. the transfer of all such services to community-accountable public ownership is a pressing immediate demand.

it all makes sense now. my cat is just a himbo

there is literally no excuse for a UI slider for a numerical value setting to not also have the text showing the value be selectable to enter an exact value

I have the cutest furball (also if y'all haven't noticed, Tabi loves my desk chair)

me: WHY ARE YOU BEING SO CUTE

Tabi: idk what you're talking about, I'm literally just vibing

the letter J originally just represented the I sound as a consonant (semivowel) but English is weird in that respect so the spelling was basically copied from Latin but it's pronounced differently

it finally hit me today that the word "major", spelled in the original Latin alphabet, would have been "MAIOR", which I know as Spanish "mayor" ("bigger"), and, as it turns out, English "mayor" (via Old French "maire") as well?????? etymology is wild
