Technojoy Zine by PubliccMenace

A zine celebrating the joy Minecraft Youtuber Technoblade brought into the world.

The zine is out!

Thank you to everyone for your patience. The zine is free to download for all. Technoblade never dies!

Not to mention, in every country, there will be a way of getting testosterone. The steroid trade for gym bros is everywhere. Genuinely just ask your local gym rat where he gets his, or have a male friend of yours do so.

The trick is monitoring your dose, but hote take, having risky access is better than no access at all. Stay safe and do what we must to survive.

Hihiiii so my country just recently banned testosterone treatment for new patients ^^ people who are already receiving treatment are allowed to keep it up for now, but places offering treatment cannot take on new patients. This sucks for me because I haven't reached 18 yet and this way I won't have legal access to hrt. How big of a medical risk would I be exposing myself to if I got hrt through trusted but not legal and therefore not as regulated (?) testosterone?

the risk is that its a federal crime and its diy hormones. do you have a way of tracking your levels ?

God feel that

#mechs

this started as a joke but then i started actually thinking about it and now im really annoyed that IDs have this one letter that doesnt mean anything for cis people and is a huge pain in the ass for trans people when we could instead have literally lifesaving information so emergency medical services could just check ur wallet to see which blood to give you so you dont die or whatever But No

Thats so cool!

You Are Odysseus

So

I’m a teacher of Classical Civilisation that has taught the Odyssey for over a decade and studied pretty much every myth and story with Odysseus in it.. I think

and I’m writing an Interactive Fiction (choose your own path) version of the Odyssey, inspired by the Homeric phrase “he turned his great heart this way and that”, where you are Odysseus, allowing you to follow his decisions or make your own

and it already has 500 sections to it - written to emulate modern translations of the Odyssey, including the literary features of simile, formula, epithet, and the rest - and 21 different ways to die, and quite a lot of period and theme-appropriate alternatives

(and if I get time, the option to be Telemachus or Penelope, although that might have to wait because it’s already a monster)

and I’ve tested what I’ve made so far on my pupils, other Classics teachers, and some of the leading (and best-read) Greek Mythology podcasters and YouTubers, all of whom have universally loved it (yay!)

(EDIT: Oops and I presented on it at the Classical Association conference last year)

I’m trying to finish it this summer, but need a bit of encouragement to do so

EDIT: and I forgot to say that ideally I’m planning on it being a beautiful BOOK with an old-fashioned cover and lots of ribbons to mark your place ❤️ (ex-bookseller ofc)

so, please let me know if you’d like to know more!

Oh god they know

I need more Thrass lives fics in my life yesterday

Thrass lives AU where Thrass is so angry about Thrawn's exile that he just up and leaves with him, exiling himself voluntarily

now the Empire has two Chiss envoys: a brilliant politician charming his way up the Senate ranks and an outstanding tactician making a name for himself in the Navy

the Chimaera crew know Thrawn has a brother of course but they've never met him. until one day they get orders to escort senator Thrass on a diplomatic mission and everyone freaks out because this is the admiral's brother

that day everyone puts on their best uniform and the ship is scrubbed spotless, the crew is on their best behavior and everything is running smoother than butter. by midday Karyn Faro has held several motivational speeches hyping the crew up because this is Thrawn's big brother and Thrawn always gets this goofy happy expression when he talks about him and they'll be damned if they don't make a good impression-

Its a tiktok holdover. Fuckin algorithms got us trained. But this website doesnt do that. And even if it does, none of us are here to get popular. In fact! Its one of the worst curses to bestow upon someone here.

So just do whatever your funky little heart desires.

just saw someone post “it’s common knowledge ur not supposed to spam reblog from someone ur not mutuals with” …..?????????? am i confused??? IS that common knowledge???? i try not to spam if i can help it but i actually personally love seeing spam notifs lmao??? unless i dont know what spam reblog means

Yeah, people who have a deterministic outlook or believe that things can't change tend to use that as an excuse for their shitty behavior rather than actually engage with the concept of everything being pointless or futile.

Hello Mr Sims! On a scale of 1-10 how much do you believe in free will? 1 being everything is entirely determined and 10 being everything is free will

I do not believe the future is determined in any external way. I do believe that if every single neuron of someone's brain were fully and completely understood and mapped out down to the moment a decision is made, and every single micro- and macroscopic factor affecting that decision was also understood, then it would be possible to completely predict a person's course of action. Now, obviously, we will never have anything close to the ability to do that, and even if we did that knowing itself alter the equation. Our minds and realities are so infinitely complex that such a thing is impossible, so for all practical purposes we have free will.

What would that be... a 5?

Im so tired of people worrying if they are "trans enough". If you relate to the experience of not wanting your body to have either the primary or secondary sex characteristics (genitals, boobs, addams apple, beard, etc) then you can use the label trans if you want to. Even if all that looks like is wearing a binder or tucking, you can use the trans label if you want.

The only people who arent welcome are those who use it with the intent to mock the community.

My transmasculine experience is a bit controversial, I don't share it off anon.. but, I was AMAB. I am intersex, and have always been viewed femininely for a boy.. I have boobs and curves, I pass as a woman and I don't want to. I don't want femininity forced onto me, but it has been by my puberty and even by the world around me. I've shared pictures of my body online and even had people tell me to just "give up and be a woman at that point". The only support I get from cis people is pity, and only if I try to call my intersex variation a disease in need of a cure.. but I don't think it's a disease. I just wish I looked more masculine, (but testosterone would have little effect on me, so I don't even bother). I hope someone like me would be welcomed into the transmasc community, despite not being ftm.. I don't want to be a failed cis man. Being transmasculine but not ftm is the only way I've found I can take pride in myself. I generally don't share my AGAB or my intersexuality with other trans people because I'm afraid of being excluded from my only community for being "a cis man pretending to be trans", I don't want people to think that of me.

your experience is so similar to mine and other transmascs, as well as the experiences of other intersex people i’ve heard from, and honestly i can think of no real reason you shouldn’t be welcomed here
