  I like how in California, people either have exactly zero bumper stickers on their car or so many that you wonder how they see out their back window.

  Oh, what’s that California HCAI department? You are now saying you can’t disburse my scholarship you signed a contract with me about because a checkbox was unchecked that neither the program officer nor I noticed? And because my scheduled courses are on the tuition statement instead of the unofficial transcript because that’s just how the university does it? And I’ve been in constant communication with you and my university for weeks verifying my full enrollment in the program multiple times ove...

  RE: https://fediverse.gendercensus.com/@gendercensus/117033099427806059 Not a single person named “Sock” in these charts, clearly inaccurate /j 😝 I do find it interesting that nonbinary names in English really do trend hard towards single syllables. I mean, my first transition name is “Joss,” so I very much followed that

  I’m really loving how I look with my new haircut and think I’m cute and pretty…and there are exactly zero ladies here to make me feel cute and pretty and go “wowzers!” at me, then ask to smooch me passionately. What is this injustice?

  Remember when everybody was telling folks in humanities and social sciences and community work they should “learn to code” instead of what they were doing to do to better the world? Kinda glad I didn’t go that route, though job security has been just as shit.

  I am reading wikipedia entries on slime molds and hydrocarbons for absolutely innocent reasons...I swear...nothing suspicious here...

  The prophecy has come to pass. In January, I predicted that once my hair transplants grew out I would get my most dyke haircut yet. Lo and behold, the cuntiest Joscelyn the world has ever seen! 🤭

  Curious what others think: how should a writer pronoun a character who is a trans egg when writing in third person? I don't think there's any one hard and fast rule to this by any means, but I'm curious what thoughts people have and what different approaches they've seen in fiction.

  oh wow. what a surprise. look at me so surprised. Jared Leto, a man no one knows why keeps getting jobs in Hollywood movies, has been accused by four women of him sexually assaulting them as teens. He also played the worst Joker. Can we stop putting him in movies finally?

  Do people on here watch “normal” sitcoms? Like, laughtrack and multicam and all that? Stuff that airs on broadcast television in the US or Europe? Examples I have in mind: Friends, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Full House, Two and a Half Men, etc.

  Should I be concerned that I find it affirming to be considered part of the danger/crazy zone in terms of hotness vs crazy? 😅😅😅

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mallory_sinn/116994394597944419 I'm back baby! Well, okay, back to posting about trans music. I'll be posting to Trans Music Monday again every week through my writing account as Mallory Sinn. I already have several lined up and will bring back my back catalog of over a year of posts in the near future too. Follow the hashtag or follow me @mallory_sinn@hachyderm.io to keep up with #TransMusicMonday

  Reason No. 78 to embrace neurodiversity framework in psychology: nervous systems are weird and different ones will have completely different reactions to the same substance and dosage. I am a case in point. Things my nervous system has weird reactions to: 1) My nervous system is almost completely unresponsive to cannabinoids. THC, whether smoked or eaten, just doesn’t seem to connect with my nervous system. No giddiness, no anxiety, no nausea or increased appetite, no heightened sense of novel...

  Hey friends, if you make music, please do people who want to share your music the favor of including your pronouns somewhere on your site/bandcamp/youtube/etc. As someone who writes about trans and gender diverse musical artists, and can't even begin to make assumptions about pronouns, it is so much easier for me to write about and share your work if I know the correct pronouns for you rather than trying to divine it through unhinged cybersluething. I shouldn't need to do creepy stalker...

  Another update in the “my wife is turning into poison ivy” saga: she just told one of her plants to go rob a bank.

  Are…are we still sure Donald Trump isn’t some sort of time traveler sent back to purposefully bring fascism into visibility and then destroy it politically in the US? Like…biggest concern among the public: cost of living and inflation. What does Trump do? Re-escalates the war with Iran causing the prices of gas and everything else to jump again. Then, on top of that, drops 50% tariffs on our most important trading partner and 10% tariffs on everyone else. This will drive up the price of everyt...

  Go see Hadestown! The original cast recording is in movie theaters and it is fucking amazing! I have listened to every version of Hadestown since it began as a concept album over a decade ago. I have seen the traveling cast live. And yet, this still got me. I laughed and cried and felt inspired. Go see it!

  So emotionally exhausted from yesterday’s struggle with keeping two bureaucracies I have no power over from keeping wrecking my life. It’s all finally resolved, got them to finally give up pedantry and carelessness to sign a damn form and complete the process. All the stress involved…I screamed and cried yesterday because my nervous system was so fucking overdone after a week of this. I am so tired of not having control over the means of keeping myself housed and fed and paying the bills they h...

  The California state government and its public universities are driving me batty! The department of HCAI awarded me a scholarship, but needs a signature from the university that says I am registered to start this fall. But the university says they can't sign the document because it says "currently enrolled" rather than "scheduled to be enrolled." HCAI says they won't issue the scholarship payment for my tuition because they don't have the scholarship. These are...

  People are wrong about the fediverse. It does not run on the ActivityPub protocol, it runs on @catsalad@infosec.exchange . Catsalad is the fundamental architecture of the fediverse.

  So um...when do I accidentally get sucked in a series of challenging circumstances that give struggle meaning with a group of lovable goofballs?

  One of the things I find interesting about neurodivergence is how the similarities of different neurologies also reveal their contrasts. I might say some things that don’t hit perfectly accurate for autistic folks, so feel free to clarify your experience below, just how it seems to me from outside having lots of autistic friends and lovers. Take tags on shirts for example. For mostly autistic folks, from what I understand, the irritation of the tags is something that contributes to overstimulat...

  Finally watched The Amazing Digital Circus, and not only did I cry, but I honestly think this is the kind of art that can anchor us in times like this. It’s like Camus’ the Plague meets I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, and takes the ideas in both forward to a place that speaks to what we are going through right now. If you haven’t, watch the whole thing, especially the last two episodes.

  Reflecting on the Supergirl movie once more…and remembering that while they pit Krypto the super dog in it, there was no Comet, the super horse who turns into a blond twink. Yes, in the comics, Kara rides a man who takes the form of a horse. And James Gunn refused to include this in the movie! You coward! 🤭

  For so many years after transition, it’s all about figuring yourself out and your presentation and actually becoming the woman (or other adult gender) you are. And when you get to the point where you are just living as yourself, it still feels like being in your early 20s again, figuring stuff out, seeking out new experiences, and rebuilding your life. Then, after that…you find yourself established, probably a bit existentially exhausted, and your time horizon has shifted from the next year to...

  Did you all know that high schools and universities in Southern California actually just look like what you see in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other tv shows? You get used to TV versions of things being completely different. Like, no Manhattan apartment looks like the apartments on Friends or other sitcoms set there. But I will never get used to these outdoor layout, tv-looking campuses here! 🤣

  Should I be concerned? My wife is in her office / plant room belting out Evita and making stabbing motions with her shears at the plants in a threatening manner. Oh, and she only started threat-stabbing at the plants after I entered the room… 😅

  Just remembering today how Graham Platner, the alleged sexual predator with a fascist tattoo that so many progressives rushed to endorse for the Democratic Party in Maine, was identified as a problem months before the allegations of him sexually assaulting women came out by Black and feminist activists. When white "dirtbag leftists" keep dismissing and harassing others as doing "identity politics," they are almost always doing it in the name of protecting someone that is eith...
