We will get there. We will not all immediately die on Jan 20. They will try to supress us, to kill us in a lot of places. But we will fight back. We will carve out a place to exist if we have to. You are not alone.
I know there are a lot of kids and teens who feel hopeless, lost, and even betrayed (especially by adults) but I’ve been there. And I’m on the other side of it. I was 16 in 2016 and just coming to terms with being trans. And I’m 24 now, having voted twice for president and in all of the “off-season” elections as well. I’m telling you that while it sucks now it won’t suck later and the only way to find out is to be there to see it.

You don’t have to be black, it just means you support us, you stand by us and your for us.
Seems to be a fairly Do It Yourself kind of man. Not unreasonable to assume that extends to human bodies as well. Tenatively Trans Masc Icon.
how do we feel about this. do we think dr. tranny is a transmasc icon or a joanne katherine rowling.
hahaha

My favorite part of tma is that the eye just airdrops random info into jon's head at random times

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!

Adding this to the sphere
Thank you Kamala for being the bigger person and acknowledging the Orange won. It sucks, but you were not in a place to do anything else.
Now its up to us to confront our neighbors with the world they have brought about, and survive long enough to either change their minds or wait for them to die off
Obviously big religious trigger warning for this one yall. I had to step back because it was too close for me. But from what I read was a pretty great book. I have another of his books that is almost at the top of the reading pile and looking forward to it.

Everyone here is such a gender! Theres multiple drag queen shows! The merch! The corporate support is a bit sketch, as I know a lot of it is just showing fake support. But most of the booths are genuinely here and queer. Theres a gay mens camping group!
Man, just out here loving my best life
This is my main tumblr. It's going to be filled with random things that are cool. This includes technology, space, some fandom stuff, and sometimes PSA's. Have fun, and maybe find something new.
