This is not a comparison of which trans gender "has it worse". It's an attempt to reclaim my own trans narrative, sometimes from other queer people, and definitely from the cis.

Are we actually progressive enough to be comfortable with the idea of men as beautiful, as wanting beauty, and magical and joyful? Or is that still relegated to a homophobic mental stereotype, even among queer people?

I don't want to lose my beauty, or have my desire to live a magical and connected life, eroded by the lack of support for that mindset in a man. I certainly don't want to see other trans guys funneled away from it by "rules" about how trans masculine people should want to be male.

There shouldn't be rules at all. And they damn sure shouldn't be harsher for trans men. I think all trans people are beautiful, because I think all people have beauty. We get in trouble mainly when we throw connection to it away.

4/4 and thanks for listening. 💜

This weekend I'm tabling at the Seattle Retro Gaming Expo. In spite of the lack of information and advertising, I still managed to make a decent profit today. I'll be back again Sunday at the Seattle Center Fisher Pavillion til 5 if you were considering stopping by.

How do you personally pronounce fstab?

just furious to learn that Swatch and Sega were working on an RFID reader/writer accessory for the 🌀Dreamcast which would’ve let you put transit passes or movie tickets on your watch. in 2000. The 🌀Dreamcast part never eventuated, but the Swatch part *was* used for ski resorts

Hey, so… are we gonna talk about the fact that a software engineer at Pinterest contributed to the doxxing of current and former employees there, because he didn’t agree with some of Pinterest’s policies?

Also: If this isn’t in your company’s threat models in 2019, why not?

I went to the Seattle Retro Gaming Expo today and I maaaybe went a lil overboard getting cool stuff

In my defense, seeing a pink game cartridge will just override the practical reasoning centers of my brain :v

New anti-harrassment feature spotted in the wild: if you see a "Reject Create.Note" activity from a thread owner, it means that thread owner has elected to prune that comment from their thread as spam/harrassment.

Feature was spotted coming together in pixelfed-
