i’ve heard about these and i’m interested. i’m not in the US but i am in a very large city, so they presumably exist, but i’ve no clue how to find one - fetlife was my only lead and that appears to be kind of dead. i picked up a flyer for a regularly scheduled kink party at pride, but that seems to be pretty intense and have a very high bar of entry (expensive elaborate dress code)

if i can find them, would it be weird to go to one of those as a virgin? i don’t really know what i’m looking for or how to talk about some of these things 🙃 would it be safe to go alone as a visibly afab person?

damn thanks for tagging this comrade. this sort of thing can make trans spaces really uncomfortable for trans/nb afab people and i’ve never actually seen anyone bother to warn for it before

the american people

we’re not even in the us. i pointed out that the war is american bullshit and is entirely being executed for the sake of american interests and they were just like “yeah lol ¯\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯”

its even more pathetic when the running dogs of usamerican empire are foreigners that don’t even reap the full benefits

I LOVE TALKING ABOUT WORLD EVENTS WITH NEOLIBERALS

“i bought stock in northrop grumman at the beginning of the war and that’s paid off massively :)”

he said this while giggling about how uncouth and naughty he was being. he’s 23 and well informed and non-white. i’m going to [FEDPOST REDACTED] every single person at this fucking job. soulless freaks.

to do a phd and go into a job that actually helps the world i’m gonna have to take a 50%+ paycut

to be fair, everyone here loves and values the NHS, even the vast majority of conservative voters. the only question is: do we love the NHS more than we hate immigrants?

the answer is spectactularly predictable

There was at least one cis woman with hy / hym pronouns in the replies to the survey

hi, glad to be causing trouble and confusing the narrative lmao 😎

but yeah i’m very keen of the idea that pronouns =/= gender, but that seems kind of hard for most people offline (even in many lgbt spaces) to get their head around. or the idea of neopronouns. god forbid you do both lmao

ngl i got wayyyyyyy more upbears and responses to that comment than i expected from a stream of consiousness/vent about misogyny and gender stereotypes and my Situation™ and i got kind of scared lol. shoutout to the encouraging replies and reading recommendations tho

goddamn you communists, i see enough tumblr post when i’m on tumblr

intimate connectionbetween chastity and political orthodoxy

what i’m hearing is that following your volcel oath is the path to ideological purity. a hexbear before his time

i genuinely don’t know what’s being implied here. like, she left the US to go to isn’trael and now she’s upset about the evil bullshit? but the outfits and decor here suggest that this is a pro-isreal rally??? a good rule of protest signs is that they should probably form at least one (1) coherent idea. and you’d think even the most shallow chud would recognise how cheap it seems to base your actism on the iconic cornerstone of western civilisation taco bell

also those weird yellow and black uniforms and star wars ass text are Not the look jesus

things that happened yesterday: i had to have an online meeting with my manager (fr*nch)

things that also happened yesterday: i started having this awful cold

the unavoidable conclusion of this is that the fr*nch are disease-ridden rats who will end us all

god, things like this always confuse me. like yes i’m a cis woman, but i use he/him/she/her or hy/hym pronouns when i can (read: online or dnd), crossdress 24/7, have visable facial hair, and honestly i’d go on testosterone if it were free. i was looking at binders recently (because i had them recommended as a heavy duty sports bra and also the silhouettes are just nicer) and the only reason i didn’t get one was that my measurements are weird. a lot of my mates keep saying that i should just become a man already and are “waiting for the gender drop” and new people assume i’m already transmasc or nb.

like despite the fact that i’m cis, i am apparently trans by a LOT of people’s definitions. idk how i feel about that. it feels like people are trying to limit what woman are and are not allowed to be. there is NOTHING wrong with women who look like me or go into my field or reject the beauty industry or crossdress or date women or anything else. there isn’t even anything “”“un-womanly”“” about us, we just don’t dignifiy the sexist society in which we live with a response.

but then again, the people who assume i’m trans or nb don’t think for a second that they’re reinforcing misogynistic ideas about womanhood, they’re just trying to be nice

so yeah. idk. i am not by defintion trans in the slightest, but in practice it always seems like i am. sorry if i invalidated the results by classing myself as cis instead of “???” lol. i guess theres a reason people treat butches as trans-adjacent

(BUT hexbear is one of the only place i’ve ever got the idea i can say any thing remotely like this and not get instantly clowned on, so shout out to our trans comrades for making a space thats also cool with miscellaneous freaks lol)

i was a perfectly normal hetrosexual child, then i played portal 1, got the part where glados turns on you, and had to stop playing because i didn’t understand wtf i was feeling. skip to like 5 years (and another portal game) later and i was fucking gay. PLUS i have to bear the cross of being into women twice my age. woke video games did this to me smh

my sibling in bhaal you made him worse

yeah because it was objectively the funniest option. all my friends who simped over him hate me for it but i don’t see astarion as some heartthrob, i see him as a shitty edgelord whose life i can ruin. i’m romancing him out of fucking hostility. and he has it coming too, so its a victimless crime 🥰

i’m playing dark urge and taking every evil choice. i’m trying desperately to make everyone the worst version of themselves. lae’zel broke up with me because she needs to fully commit herself to the cult leader i convinced her to follow. shadowheart has committed crimes against humanity. if i can’t get gale back with his abusive ex i’m going to make him continue the fucking cycle. i got wyll to kill karlach and then he left in disgust at my massacre like 20 minutes later. also scratch is here

this is my first playthrough and i’m very tempted to have it be my last. whenever i talk to other people about BG3 its like they played a whole different fucking game lmao its great

this AI push is so fucking funny. my team has lost 3 people in the last few weeks and none of the positions are hiring replacements because the company is choosing to invest in AI instead, and middle management has finally gone from bemused enthusiasm to barely-restrained panic. watching these tech illiterate types suddenly start to sweat as they realise the reality of the situation (which we have all known for months) is great fun. our AI is useless, commands from on high have told management to change how we operate to pin all our hopes on it, and now the CEO is going to watch them drown in exchange for shareholder value

call me predictable but

things that are based: some random person on here months ago who saw that my pronouns are hy/hym and changed their comment to call me a based kyng instead of a king. they edited it back pretty quickly but i saw that comrade and don’t worry i thought it was funny i love you

things that are less based: i went to an irl event recently that was very vocally pro-lgbt and had a bunch of pronouns pins. there were a million she/they and he/they, but not a single she/him or he/her, which i think are the only pronouns i’d ever be brave enough to use irl. many such cases smh 😔

you can register using something like cum@fart.com

why would you dox me

it was always just the stembros that did the least work. the telling difference between engineers/chemists/mathematicians etc vs computer “scientists” was that we actually went to our lectures and labs lmao
