  • things that help me with dysphoria

    This felts really corny when i first tired it but doing some positive afformations in the mirror really helped me with this, little notes that say something like ‘this is what a woman looks like’, ‘you are beautiful’ etc, I’ve got an old crimethink ‘beauty must be what we define it as, or else it is our enemy’ poster too

    i generally just avoid looking in the mirror tho tbh

    i dont know how long youve been out to yourself for, but with time things like ffs and srs have become a lot less important to me, but it was a lot of mental work

    once when i told my grandmother how depressed i was feeling she told me, whenever she’s feeling really down she hops in the shower, puts on some nice clothes and does her make up (oddly affirming because she doesnt really get im trans), but self care really helps

    also helpful to remember the way you see yourself is not how other people see you

    be kind to yourself



  • hot? yeah i guess it was a little toasty overnight now i’ve had to crack out my second blanket, its the middle of winter! This is southern hemisphere erasure!

    im doing okay, someone in the vague ‘activist scene’ in my city is kinda making my life hell atm, theyre not well, but neither am i. So i’m fading out of existence. For how much people all talk about ‘community’, i’m yet to have many people check in with me.

    Theyre going to be living in a worldwithoutlawyers.jpg now i’m gone. no one else is going to tell them to reexamine their preconceptions, theres going to be unexamined racist shit going down, i tell you what.

    i kept being told ‘well remember what you were like when you were young!’, and i kept thinking, yeah damn, they should all be doing drugs instead of crowing themselves godking of the ‘movement’.

    this has all really destroyed my confidence i’m actually too anxious to even check replies here atm, for a while i couldnt even comment because i felt like everyone was so mad at me lol.

    The ‘scene’ is good for them, but has been a disaster for my mental health. so i’m dropping everything so i can rekindle my energy and re engage myself with my union organising.

    i dunno this feels like too much, maybe im too much. I’m getting echoes of an ex telling me ‘i’m not availible to do emotional labour for you’. haha hehe hoho yes

    if people are treating you like shit, you should leave, its not easy, but its for the best







  • An author was raided in sydney this year for a ‘romance novel’ she wrote

    it turned out to be pretty damn pedophillic, here’s a crap source

    https://www.news.com.au/national/nsw-act/crime/sydney-author-lauren-tesolinmastrosa-arrested-over-pedophilia-book/news-story/5babb82438d7adc5ca699c877b07641a

    You will have to excuse me if i am sceptical of the intentions of the author of this NYT article

    Vivian Wang

    Vivian Wang is a China correspondent for The New York Times, based in Beijing, where she writes about how the country’s global rise and ambitions are shaping the daily lives of its people. Previously, she was based in Hong Kong and New York City. In 2021, she was part of a team that won the Pulitzer Prize in public service for coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. She grew up outside of Chicago and graduated from Yale University.

    Lol

    To many people, the arrests also show how much the space for female and L.G.B.T.Q. expression has shrunk in China.

    theyre stories written by straight women, for straight women, nice try tho! I actually dont feel great about hets writing steamy erotic novels about le gays.

    i will never not be extremely sus on ivory tower journalists, theyre either feds, or being manipulated by the feds to publish articles justifying the feds.

    Wang was previoisly awarded for her coverage of COVID in china, and if you google her name and corona virus you find plenty of ‘the peasants are revolting against the emporer’ kind of articles, ‘the chinese are covering it up’ ‘we looked at gps data to get the real story’

    these articles very rarely cite any regular people who live in China, its generally experts from the usa all the way down.

    anyway, my point is, remain critical, approach things with caution, honestly i feel pretty sad someone would post this here without any sort of analysis. inadvertanly promoting the face value ‘theyre killing queers’

    need i remind you how the NYT reports on Palestine?

    sorry this is cranky i havent had coffee
