Aww that’s a lot less silly and therefore less fun (still pretty silly though I guess)

This tells me the explosives they found in Crooks’ vehicle were hidden in tennis balls

Wait so republicans fail the Voight-Kampff test?

Reddit, is that you?

Workers leaving states like CA for Texas are like anti-vaxxers who think vaccines are stupid because they don’t know anyone with polio.

If our country survives for another couple decades, they’ll be so proud of themselves for “inventing” all the same worker protections they left behind. But not before experiencing their economic polio first hand.

Order it, step down, get pardoned by President Harris

We were all thinking it, but it takes an eldritch abomination to say it out loud

Most of them just bounce back into space, like the one that became the moon

I think maybe I could go for some deep fried cheesecake

Your argument is invalid.

I’m not completely sure why but I wanted to experience my name as something to internalize rather than giving myself full freedom to choose. Probably a combination of knowing I’d be paralyzed with choice and also just feeling that it’s more in line with the cis-normative experience to have a name imposed on you and learn to live in it.

“Pick the name they were planning to give you if…” didn’t work for me since they gave that one to my younger sister. Female versions of my birth name were just way too close to an identity I don’t want, so that was out too. I wasn’t out to my parents at the time I picked a name, so I also didn’t want to just ask them. In the end, I looked through baby name lists for my birth year and picked something at about the same rank in popularity that seemed like one they might have picked.

Oddly enough, that landed me on a stereotypically trans name but I feel I can justifiably claim it’s just coincidence :)

For the middle name, I chose the middle name of my grandmother who I loved and respect deeply - I might have taken her first name as my middle name but it doesn’t flow well with my first, and I had already given it to my daughter anyway.
