IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)

On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!

Do you love transgenders?

Do you love communism?

Do you love queer romance?

Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?

Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?

Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?

All of the answers should be: YES I DO ~~or else I WILL BAN YOU~~

Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY

The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists pigmask-off , Zionists hamas-base (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) lenin-dont-laugh in Bosporus, and the monarchs gui-trans of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.

On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union soviet-chad is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain left-unity-4 )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human bridget-disco , Shimmi kbity-how (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran transshork-happy (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.

First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist three-heads-thinking leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home chad-stalin , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. specter

As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...

And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.

Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands

All are Communists steban

All serve the Union USSR

All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism comrade-stoic

but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt

Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

FIND OUT HERE: https://unjustdepths.com/

please do or else I will pout incessantly

just try it pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase i need to talk to someone about it after Cromalin went AFK

(I miss her, she was a real one)

Finished Nevada yesterday.

Returned the Hannah Arendt book for Who's Afraid of Gender. Which was what I actually wanted but it was under women's studies, instead of philosophy with Judith's other books. This time I asked the attendant if they had it.

Orange book is next on my list.

Do we have a trans media recommendation thread btw? I read the gender accelerationist manifesto, fucking trans women, watched I saw the TV glow, and now Nevada.

So I've been doing the IPL on my legs for months. Probably around 15 sessions.

It's thinned out my hair a lot. It's not growing back in a lot of places. I'd say like 30% of the hair remains in streaks.

I'm happy with the results, but have I hit the limit? I don't feel like I'm getting any more hair loss. Should I keep going?

I need to dress like this more, I always forget how good it feels, then I question if I actually like it since I'm not doing it, and then I finally put it on and it feels so good ☺️

::: spoiler venting about sounds Im about tofight the rail companies. idk why but tonight the freight trains are extra loud and annoying and disturbing. And its too hot to have my window closed, and I hate the way my whole room vibrates when they go by. Its at least 2 per hour at this point, and i guess I'm extra sensitive today. They go too fast and have to break really hard outside my window, and it screeches and makes me want to redacted-1redacted-2 someone from the sounds, or pull my nails across my spine until the I break through my vertebrae to make the sound get out of me. I am so done with living here. I need out, I need out, I need out. I deserve to live in the fucking forest with all the nice trees and I could talk to them and sit under their branches. Imma move into the woods and live off tubers and grubs idc anymore.

I think I already did some cubeposting a little bit ago so I'll try to not repeat myself. If I didn't or you missed it, I love solving the rubik's cube, lot of patterns, very step by step and methodical, feedback (both knowing how I can do better and the tactile feedback of the cube), stimming, yaknow all good things.

I'm trying to learn f2l. Right now I'm just solving with beginners method, very basic and boring. The basic idea is you solve the white edge pieces first, then insert the white corners where they belong, solving the first/white layer. To solve the second layer, which is just four edge pieces, you first position the edge piece on top, then move the corner it lines up with out and connect them, before inserting both pieces solved. After you do that for all the edges you've got the first two layers solved. This whole process is obviously slow, even having it down very well there's a lot of wasted moves and even worse, cube rotations.

f2l, short for first two layers, is solving the white corners and the second layer edges at the same time. I had put off learning it because there's a lot of unique cases. (where and in what orientation each piece is currently in, each case has its own algorithm to solve). There's a few ways to definite how many there exactly are, most cubers will say 41 f2l cases, but there are more, at least 36 others that can be good to know sometimes. Because I don't actually know f2l yet I can't give a great explanation of the cases, but I believe its something to do with how solved it is already. If all the other edges and corners are solved, there's less places you might need to yoink a piece from.

It looks like, watching this beginner/intuitive f2l video, that I won't be bruteforce learning the cases though, you start out with four insertion algorithms (I already know two of them), and there's a few steps to remember instead of learning every combination of cases. We'll give it a shot, obviously it is learnable I just need to try.

I did some hacky shit at the beginning of this project that didn't cause any problems until right now, the weekend before it's due shinji-froggy-chair

Alright, I had a lot going on today, so I'm going to run it all down in a single post.

boykisser

what is happening to me? cw: sex. TL;DR: Being someone's boyfriend would suck shit, but being someone's girlfriend would be extremely based.Starting this off with the context that I'm demisexual. Anyway, I might also be bisexual? I'm going to be honest, I did not see this curve-ball coming. I've only liked femininity for the longest time, though I never really wanted to be into anybody. I deemed myself asexual, and I was really upset by the fact that I would feel so horny so much of the time. I didn't want to feel like that, I wanted to be in a relationship with someone purely because of lust, and it disgusted me, and I felt ashamed of myself. Anyway, transitioning (and HRT) changed all of that. Now a lot of what I want is romantic. Sure, sex would probably be nice, but I would want it to be with someone I have built a romantic relationship with. Horniness was replaced by fantasies of romance, of walking with someone down a snowy path, watching the leaves change colors and fall, cuddling on the couch, etc. I have hopelessly fallen in love with the idea of falling in love, and I've realized that I don't think I see anything wrong sharing those experiences with a masculine person, or an androgynous person, for that matter. I don't think that matters to me so much, and I feel like being in relationships with other people could provide me with unique experiences that I would not otherwise get to see and feel. I have no sexual experience to speak of, but based on my thought process behind it, I think romantic feelings would extend to it. Even if it didn't, even if I am 100% asexual no sex at all (I don't think I am), I would be content enjoying a romantic relationship with someone of any gender identity.

the fucking forest fire waiting to happen. TL;DR: I did not think work was going to be like this todaySo I work in public parks, keeping them clean and such. One such park was a wildlife area. It looked pretty nice, and I may see about posting photos, but that's for another time. A guy comes walking out of the woods, asking if we were working in the park. We said yes (I was eating lunch), and he then apologizes for interrupting our lunch break, but that there was scorched ground around a tree, and that something had caught fire. Safe to say lunch did not matter at that point, and we ran over to see what had happened. In a circle around a perfectly fine tree (thought it could have been lightning or something) was the scorched ground, still smoldering, though there was no fire. He apologizes again, saying he had come here to pick mushrooms and that he had seen this and thought he should warn someone. It was a good thing he did, because the heat and the smoldering was spreading. Not too fast, but not too slow either. We then have to call our boss, who tells us to call emergency services because this is a big deal, so we do. We watch the ground to make sure it doesn't get too out of hand, and it reaches a pile of leaves, which catch fire. We were surprised, but easily able to put it out. One we had firefighters on the scene, we moved things like leaves and sticks out of the way while they got the hose. They then put it out, telling us it was a good thing we had called them, because the risk for a fire was very high today, and it would have likely burned down the entire park had they not done something about it. So yeah, me and a couple of co-workers (and mushroom guy + firefighter cadets) saved an entire wildlife park from perishing in the flames. Amazing, but people should be more careful smoking or lighting campfires in a dry savanna-like area.

well, the gods of trans give and the gods of (cw) dysphoria take... TL;DR: Co-workers found my deadname and are using it again.HOW DID THEY FIND MY DEADNAME AGAIN??? I had gotten them all to use my name, and I guess I once again face the consequences for it being close to my dead name, because my boss saw legal documents again and started deadnaming me in front of most of my co-workers. Now, they're all going to use it again too, and the luck I was graced with a month ago has just completely flipped. I swear, I'm going to have to change my name, because at this point even my new name is causing some dysphoria just by proxy. When I started transitioning a few months ago, I didn't want my old self to die, so together with my mother I ended up picking a nice, but similar name that would be easy for people to start using in place of my deadname. Little did I know that a few months from them, I would realize just how bad things were back then, and how I want that part of my identity dead, because I am much better off with it that way. It caused me so much trauma, and getting he/him'd and deadnamed just because people thought I said my name wrong, or am using a "fake" name, doesn't feel great at all. At thins point, I've gone from "Well, it wasn't so bad, but I'm here now, let's see how it goes" to "I'm never going back, how did I think I was cis, life before transition caused me so much trauma".

no really, I'm weird (cw dysphoria) TL;DR: I don't think I'm in a very good state of mind.Ironically enough, it's at work where I feel more comfortable. It's weird, but being deadnamed and he/him'd is not as bad as the discomfort I feel going to school as someone who is publicly trans. It's a long story on how this happened, but to make it short: I have no social will to correct people, I barely have any social will to exist in a group setting (thanks trauma + autism) so I made due with what I could for appearance and impressions. At work, I wear old jeans and a work-assigned T shirt. This does not do me many favors in terms of getting gendered correctly, and therefore I am misgendered regularly. At school, I can change my name on the website we use, and I can introduce myself to the class with that name (yeah I did this at work too, read the 3rd spoiler tag for more details). However, I went into my first day in women's jeans and a women's T shirt, and went into my second day with a similar T-shirt and skirt. Great, I'm out and about the way I want to be. Wait, I have social anxiety, and trauma in social situations, especially involving schools. Shit. I'm hyper-vigilant while I'm there, constantly waiting and bracing myself for someone to say something about me, for someone to start harassing me. I might be the only trans person on campus, at least when I'm there, and any time somebody looks at me I just die inside. My survival mindset was to please others, even at my own expense, for the longest time, and I guess some of that made it's way into my modern life as well. At work, while they think that I am a guy and address me as such, I don't have to worry about being around them knowing that they know I'm trans. I don't have to hear what they think, I don't have to worry about walking in on them talking about me, and I don't have to worry about them hating me for that reason. In fact, with the job I have, I'm pretty sure at least 60-70% of my co-workers would dislike me if I came out, especially with what I've seen them wear in terms of hats and belts. So yeah, I don't think I'm going to tell anyone at my job, because I don't want to be alienated in another place. That's the issue at the end of the day. While I feel so much better about life and myself, I've alienated myself from most people, people I already had a hard time connecting with. I've just put myself into one more category, one more niche that makes it difficult to get to know other people and feel comfortable around them.

Now for the really weird part. Working with a bunch of cis men is gender-affirming to me. Most of them are hyper-masculine types, and those that aren't are still taller or older than me. The few other women that work there are all wearing the same thing as the men. Not only do I not have to worry too much about gender envy or imposter syndrome, but I can feel my differences in contrast to my co-workers masculinity, and it reinforces the fact that Yes, I'm a woman, and I am definitely trans. This does not carry over to school. I have an issue where I compare myself to cis women, and I can't seem to stop myself. I've only been on HRT for four months, have gotten no lazer or surgeries of any kind, and have a crappy fashion sense, and yet I compare myself to people who were born with the gender they wanted, people who have already gone through their puberty, the puberty that they wanted to go through. Not only do I feel lots of gender envy, but I feel like I'm not a woman. I invalidate my own experience based on others, and I'm aware that it's bad, but I can't stop. Especially in the moment, combined with the social anxiety, autism, and past trauma, I can't help but have those thoughts because I'm already carrying so many things, and it's all too easy to add to the pile.

Yeah, I'm probably not okay, but at least I helped to prevent a forest fire and I might be a boykisser now.

They say "is mean is" when Jesus says "this is my body" but I think that's reductive. You think "is" just fell out of a coconut tree? There's context that's far more important than splitting hairs on the semantics of "is" being a definitive statement. The Bible wasn't even written in freaking English! (moot point if you believe your preferred bible was divinely inspired in its writing). Jesus says that eating of the blood and body is signing onto the new covenant then states "I tell you, I will not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” He says two verses later that its wine! Its wine people!

Trans mega means transubstantiation right?
