If you’re feeling bad and ugly maybe it’s just hair washing day, babe

@danirabbit or a shower in general. Maybe a little moisturizing. Those work wonders on bad body image days.

I genuinely do not get why some trans folks are so violently aggressive and hateful towards transmascs specifically. It's like we personally attacked them just by existing.

It's this weird kind of bioessentialism I didn't expect in the community, painting men as evil and monstrous and inherently abusive and forbidding us from talking about our experiences because transfemmes are what, the only valid trans people? Is that what they're trying to say?

I get that you internalize a lot, been there, done that, but making these kind of blanket statements is just weird. I'm not going around saying all femininity is fucked up either. It's really not too much to ask to be treated with some baseline respect.

Hey transfemmes, I get that masculinity hasn't done you any favors, but can we maybe not call it "monstrous"? Because that really hurts. Thanks. Signed, a transmasc.

For a bit of Sunday happiness & silliness: tell me about some a book you've recently excitedly told someone about and why!

I've talked about Erin Meyer's "Culture Map" because it opened my eye to a lot of intercultural interactions I have in both, my everyday and my work life.

And about Marcin Wicha's "Things I Didn't Throw Out" because it made me laugh and cry at the same time + made me fall in love with Daunt books because I would not have found out about the book without them.

@vicgrinberg "What You Are Looking For Is In The Library" by Michiko Aoyama! I came across it when I was very frustrated with my work as library assistant, and it reminded me of why I love this job, so it gave me a much-needed morale boost. It's also very charmingly written and full of wisdom and inspiration for non-library folks too!

If you like quiet magical realism novels with a Ghibli vibe, do yourself a favor and read "What You Are Looking For Is In The Library" by Michiko Aoyama.

It's about a librarian at a community center library with the unique ability to read the soul of her guests and recommend them books that will change the trajectory of their lives. The patrons featured in the novel come from very different walks of life, which gives an interesting insight into Japanese culture. On top, the writing is charming and full of little nuggets of wisdom.

I really loved it and I hope you will, too! (For maximum immersion, borrow it from your local library if you're able to!)

A lot of people living in cities don't realize that rural USA is a lot like those third-world countries a politician might describe as ‘shitholes.’

In my tiny village(which is basically a few far-apart houses and farms gathered around a swamp):

-No municipal water (we have a well)
-No sewer (septic tanks)
-No garbage disposal (burn it)
-No public school (There's one in the next town over, bus leaves at 630am, gets back 430pm)
-No public college (there's one in the next county, that means you pay out-of-county tuition which is double)
-No mail delivery (I have a PO box)
-No police (I actually love this, no complaints here)
-No fire/emergency services (volunteers are notified by the town siren, closest actual hospital is an hour flight by chopper after you've driven 40 minutes to the rural hospital, which is basically just triage)

Where do I live? In Michigan, but you'll never find my address cuz it's not even on Google Maps.

@Cat_LeFey as a central European that's really hard to imagine for me but hey, I bet it's really quiet out at your place at least

My favorite neurodivergent friendship thing is what I call "echo stimming" where you just repeat the same noises/words/phrases or variations of them back to each other in an extended loop, maybe in different funny voices. It's so soothing and fun!

Omg, ich hab gerade herausgefunden, dass es Remasters von allen E Nomine-Alben gibt 😍​ E Nomine waren damals mein Einstieg in elektronische Musik und damit Wegbereiter für meinen Weg in die Gothic-Szene. Wenn ihr Trance, deutsche Synchronsprecher und gregorianische Chöre gut findet, solltet ihr unbedingt mal reinhören.

@revengeday Sie machen soweit ich weiß keine neue Musik, die Remasters sind wohl ziemlich aus dem Nichts gedroppt. Ich wäre aber für ein Comeback :) Zwischenzeitlich gab es ja das Nachfolgeprojekt Schlafes Bruder, die haben aber auch ewig nichts veröffentlicht.

I get giddy every time I think about how my voice will deepen and how I'll get to relearn singing and my whole way of speaking might change once I go on T. It might be understandably frightening to some, but I just go "hell yeah, I'll finally get to talk like me! Who cares about passing, I'll sound like me!!!"

I'm also excited to grow a beard. Fuck if I know if I'd like it or keep it, but just having the option to will be awesome! Let me get some more customization options on this old flesh vessel!
