When I live in the present and don’t think about the future I feel 5/10, but when I think about the next week / month I feel 2/10, but if I think about the a year from now or more im back up to a 4/10.
The solution, I think, is to never think.
Transfems are trying to disempower afabs not so that amabs and afabs have equal group powers in queer/progressive/leftist contexts, so that there is no longer domination by any agab, but they are specifically trying to establish amab domination and therefore subjugate afabs because they fear that if afabs are not under amab control they will almost inevitably reconstitute themselves as a terf political force, and therefore reproduce transfem oppression.
The subjugation of afabs to amabs is therefore seen as a way of minimizing the risk of the terf threat, a way to keeping it under control.
You have to get it into your head that transfems see afabs, whether cis, trans or non-binary, as a terf threat.
I feel comparatively worse than I should about my least favorite thing I've written becoming my most successful on this website, with an illustrious 3 likes. The post is not totally bad, just poorly structured and one of the conclusions is sophomoric. I suppose that kind of thing is to be expected when I have so little experience using social media sites actively
I failed my math class!! Now I don’t have to worry about whether I’m gonna fail my math class :)
Have you ever wondered if you have what it takes to become a NASA Astronaut? We’re accepting applications starting March 2, and we’re encouraging all eligible Americans to apply by March 31!
It’s an incredible time in human spaceflight to be an astronaut. With Artemis, our sights are set on the Moon – to stay – by utilizing sustainable lunar missions, and you could be one of the humans on the surface! During their careers, this next class of astronauts may also fly on any of four different U.S. spacecraft: the International Space Station, Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon and our Orion deep-space exploration vehicle; They will be at the cutting edge of a new era in human exploration.
So, still interesting in joining our ranks as an Artemis generation astronaut? Here are a few things to note.
MYTH: All astronauts have piloting experience.
FACT: You don’t need to be a pilot to be an astronaut. Flying experience is not a requirement, but could be beneficial to have.
MYTH: All astronauts have perfect vision.
FACT: It’s okay if you don’t have 20/20 vision. As of September 2007, corrective surgical procedures of the eye (PRK and LASIK), are now allowed, providing at least 1 year has passed since the date of the procedure with no permanent adverse after effects.
MYTH: All astronauts have advanced degrees like, a PhD.
FACT: While a Master’s degree from an accredited university is necessary, the requirement can also be met with the completion (or current enrollment that will result in completion by June 2021) of a nationally recognized test pilot school program.
MYTH: Astronauts are required to have military experience in order to be selected.
FACT: Military experience is not required to become an astronaut.
MYTH: You have to be a certain age in order to be an astronaut.
FACT: There are no age restrictions. Astronaut candidates selected in the past have ranged between the ages of 26 and 46, with the average age being 34.
The basic requirements to apply include United States citizenship and a master’s degree in a STEM field, including engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science, or mathematics, from an accredited institution. The requirement for the master’s degree can also be met by:
Two years (36 semester hours or 54 quarter hours) of work toward a Ph.D. program in a related science, technology, engineering or math field;
A completed doctor of medicine or doctor of osteopathic medicine degree;
Completion (or current enrollment that will result in completion by June 2021) of a nationally recognized test pilot school program.
Candidates also must have at least two years of related, progressively responsible professional experience, or at least 1,000 hours of pilot-in-command time in jet aircraft. Astronaut candidates must pass the NASA long-duration spaceflight physical.

Why don’t they go to space?
If you guys liked Challengers you will not regret picking up Infinite Jest! It's like a slow-burn, post-apocalyptic AU with lots of trans + queer rep and aspects of magical realism, anti-capitalist and lighthearted fun for all audiences!¹
I hate LLM's for more than just the incredibly large energy usage, the dumbing down of the general population, and the enshittifcation of many systems that used to be human operated. I also, selfishly, just cannot stand its horrible writing
IDK I just think every human alive should be forced to read Infinite Jest. Is that too much to ask?
