I'm entering 2025 with better habits and more capacity to support myself than I have in a long time. And there's no more need in me to take part in escapism when we have battles aplenty ahead. I am primed and ready to build up our community more than ever, and we will survive and dance in the faces of those that hate us. 😈 :ablobcatrave:
Probably the best review of the new Nosferatu movie: the waitress at the bar next door has had people coming in so shook that she can recognize them on sight and treated one of us to a beer because she looked like she needed it. 😅 As for me, I can’t remember the last time I felt a horror movie so viscerally and was left still unpacking it afterward in this way. Similar to how Eggers handled the Witch, this portrayal and reading of the vampire harkens back to historical associations and perspectives. And it went places that I didn’t expect with the story. There’s also some interesting homage moments to the Coppola’s Dracula. Anyway, if you are a horror fan or nerd like me, GO SEE IT. It is a slow burn, but just builds and boils clear to the end. #Horror
How do I tell my boss, who is a fan of ChatGPT, that I will not use it to write things because it's horrifically damaging to the environment and is based off plagiarization? Like, how do you say that to the person whose good will your employment depends on (small NGO and she's the executive director, so...yeah), that you think something she uses every day is unethical to use that way? 😬
New year, new habit: I'm going to plan a date with myself twice a month. My therapist and I have been examining ways for me to work on the struggles I have being on my own. A big thing is that for me, it is all lonely "being alone" and never a peaceful or joyful "solitude." And one part of that is that maybe I need to rekindle my relationship with myself - intentionally planning time to just be with me and enjoy being with myself. First attempt is going to be going on a hike at a local lagoon on January 1st! Does anyone have any favorite things that they would do as a "date with myself"? Looking for suggestions and ideas. So far, the big ones I have planned first are hiking and going to a museum, which are both things that have been good for spending time with myself in the past.
That feeling when your workplace gets name dropped by the Daily Wire to be targeted for harassment. 😅 Gosh am I glad that I already started the process of removing my easy to find digital footprint. Going to be an interesting year to come. 🙃
Apparently, there's a whole bunch of new girlies coming here from bluesky - Hi friends! Happy to have more trans fems here! 💜 Here's your basic guide to people in this corner of trans fem fedi: 1) [@FinalGirl](

Gotta say, I’ve been predicting the age of assassinations and targeting the ultra-rich would be coming back around again. Probably the last time that happened in this style is 1880s/1890s during the inequity of the gilded age of the US and capitalist disruption and exploitation in places like Russia too. Like, guillotine jokes have been going around for a decade and I just joked about how eating billionaires is good for the environment a couple weeks ago. Seems only natural some folks would be inspired by this general mood and grassroots consensus that billionaires need to stop being billionaires, either by no longer having billions or by no longer being. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Judging by the number of people I see taken off-guard by it being December, I’m going to go out on a limb and say a lot of us have been dissociating hard since November 5th 😅 November actually was like three months for me with the way my work played out this month. I’m more in the, how is it only December? I still have to deal with a whole month of 2024?! Ugh.
Two weeks ago, my work friend was visiting and brought me flowers when they came over to visit for tea - and I teared up a little. 5 years into transition, and when someone gives me flowers to show they care and appreciate me, it still is magical and makes me feel affirmed in ways I can't begin to put into words. To this day, this was probably only the fourth or fifth time anyone has given me flowers in my entire life. I remember each one and treasure it so damn much. I literally pressed flower petals for the first time and keep them in a jar from the second bouquet I ever received. When we say "give trans women their flowers while they're alive," I don't think people understand fully how big that really is for us, even literally. So, if you want to make a trans girl smile and feel like she is special and appreciated, go literally get her some flowers (as long as she isn't allergic) and watch her melt in joy.
Won’t a trans fem come over and install Linux for me? I’m just a girl, naive to the ways of operating systems. What is a distro? Do you want to tell me about your favorite and what’s so amazing about it? I’ll let you touch my boobs while you do it. 🥺
