Oh man, oh man. I've been going through some ancient hard drives (New Years resolution) and found some of the oldest digital photos of myself. Enjoy what 20-25 years of age - with 15 of that being on HRT - does to a guy.

Age 23 vs 48, lmao. Back when I box dyed my hair a dark auburn. To be fair, I think all of us who lived it as young adults glowed up from the year 2000.

26 vs 48. Same coat, only it finally fits properly in the shoulders! I think I had just seen Matrix Reloaded and that was me playing around as my OC. 😅

26 vs 48. I'm still kind of scrawny at 20+ lbs heavier, but clothes fit so much better now.

Me at 28? Just starting to be able to afford the tweedy look. Man, I miss those shoes. I still have that coat, though no recent photos of it, so we'll close this out with one of my favorite pics of me from last year, age 48.

It’s so fucked up that experiences from previous relationships can forever impact your ability to form and maintain new relationships. They should patch that out

Yeah man it’s just like that you got it

I think getting carried off like a trophy by a strong woman or enby would fucking break my mind. Like I’m sorry I think you own me now and there’s absolutely no return policy.

I hope this is true.

Cemeteries are not wastes of space. Historical cemeteries ESPECIALLY are not wastes of space. The fact developers are continuously foaming at the mouth to destroy them and put a strip mall up in their place should make you even more determined to help maintain them. In urban areas, they are a haven for wildlife. They are a green space. If you are too afraid of death to utilize them for that purpose, that is on you.

Thank you. Historically cemeteries were treated as parks, and it wasn't uncommon to see people not only enjoying the grounds but actually playing games and having picnics there. Somewhere along the line we decided that these activities were inappropriate and that cemeteries were off limits and now people see them as wasted space because they feel too awkward to enjoy them.

They're not only beautiful green spaces but excellent public displays of history and art history, and if you care to look closely you can find out a lot just by studying stones.

For example- notice how few modern headstones are dedicated to young children versus the ones erected before vaccines were widespread.

The cemetery near here has the state's largest silver maple crowning its grounds. Many of the trees in older cemeteries are some of the largest and oldest trees in an area.

Cemeteries are for the living, not the dead. Enjoy them. Go birdwatching in them. Don't be stupid in them sure but don't be too afraid to touch them either.

And for the love of God don't mindlessly support turning them into parking lots and ""luxury"" condos.

Official ominous sign

there's some very nsfw but extremely sick art of me on bsky rn <- boobs inside

oh I'm supposed to think it's Weird when people draw me looking like a total badass rocking out on stage with my titties out? I'm supposed to be appalled, ashamed? hell no that looks fucking AWESOME dude. that's the coolest shit I've ever seen. god i wish I could just post it on main as is without tumblr getting up my ass

burn it 🔥

(he/him) 🐇

more commentary:

I kinda expected this art post to have non black people be hesitant to interact with it because they are worried they're being racist, people ignoring the message in some sense to go "hot" or people finding it funny because I used slurs I can reclaim but beyond that the other response is nice.

non black people have a habit of seeing "radical" black art and all its aesthetics and seeing if they can find it meme-able or completely miss the point because they find authentic blackness too "foreign and taboo" when it's reclaimed and not removed from the people.

but also there were a lot of people being respectfully mature about the art and feeling really uplifted by it which means a lot in a white dominated world where my culture is nothing but a joke or something to appropriate to the point where it's erased all traces of it's black origins

Isnt this how we lost the recipe for roman concrete

to speak candidly i don't understand why americans are letting these things happen. why aren't you just eating those people. the dutch did it to that one guy

just doesn't make sense to me. no human being is immune to being slow-roasted until insides tender and outsides crisp. so what's the hold-up

every universe except this one, i guess.

I’m going to have a fucking breakdown

HAAAANK! NO HANK!! THAT'S NOT A BACTERIOPHAGE! THOSE WOULD BE WAY SMALLER THAN A TARDIGRADE! THAT'S A RADIOLARIAN, A TYPE OF UNICELLULAR EUKARYOTIC ORGANISM KNOWN FOR ITS ELABORATE MINERAL SKELETONS! HAAAANK! THAT'S THE WRONG MICROBE!!!

modern horror writers be like: what do you mean there's things scarier than old women, mentally ill people, and pagan beliefs??

"what do you mean i shouldn't depict indigenous people and trans women like that??"

How's it going to end?
