love existing in a world with trans guys in it. Love watching shy unconfident girls turn into confident men. Or men that are still shy but now they're *themselves*

Every time a friend of mine says they think they might be a man, actually, it's something wonderful. Knowing you're gonna get to watch him become his own man, get to watch him stop flinching every time someone says his deadname, and start smiling when he hears *his* name from everyone's mouths

Love getting to be there for all of it. Hate that all the bad parts exist, but, when they pass, he's still there, and he's still wonderful, and you have the opportunity to be there for him and love him

Love watching him realise he gets to build his own life, separate from the cis girl he had to be before

that post about negotiation with hoas by threatening to set up a ham radio tower bc the fcc would back you up will not work at all even slightly but i will say that the blood feud between hoas and ham radio ppl is real & eternal. like if you want to get around hoa rules a ham radio person will probably have ideas

once again thinking about this guys “birdhouse” bc his hoa banned antennas but not “birdhouses”

One time I was helping a ham radio guy with his email and mentioned how I wanted to get into ham radio, but couldn’t because I lived in an apartment. That guy immediately rattled off like, five different ways I could set up a radio antenna inside my apartment, and seven different ways I could hide/disguise the antenna and still get a decent radio signal. Ham radio enthusiasts are a hybrid between boy scouts and wizards and I love them they play an important role in our ecosystem

I think if you are on hold for long enough there should be a button you can press to big your eyes at them

im going to be referencing this forever

you know my very least favorite thing about the red six of spades essay is the way it implies that the only reason trans men could possible be upset with the societal mistreatment we face is because we’ve gotten it in our testosterone addled brains that “real men don’t deserve that treatment bc they are MEN and it’s Bad to treat Men like you treat Women” as if the majority of us have not been fighting against sexism and gender roles since before we came out, and as if we don’t give a shit about how the women around us have been treated their whole lives….its so patronizing and so untethered in the material reality of most transmasc experiences

"So you don't want to be treated like a man!" So you believe treating someone like a man is being abusive and mean towards them? So you think treating a person like a man is degrading them and trivializing their discrimination and oppression?

Maybe there should be no gendered treatment of people... You should treat someone kindly regardless of their gender identity. I know that's apparently controversial, but the identity of man (or woman even!) shouldn't make you want to spit in their face. Decency should be awarded to everyone, not just the gender you think deserves it.

i like when wikipedia pages for bands have that little chart at the bottom where you can see how they’ve been ritualistically cannibalizing their drummer every 3-5 years since 2007

forgot to leave a note for my doordasher to bring a blunt weapon to get past the catacomb skeletons so congrats to whichever necromancer is about to get my banh mi i guess

i hate when a skippable ad starts with some shit like “you’re probably going to skip this ad 🙄” like. yeah! what are you hoping to achieve by starting it like that? thanks for at least being self aware i guess!

Just saw a very serious tumblr post refer to adults age 25+ as “older adults.” I am begging you kids to go outside and interact with diverse groups of people. Please. It’s for your own good.

The human lifespan, according to tumblr:

Birth to 17.99999999 years: Child. Doesn’t matter where you fall in that range. You are a helpless, innocent child.

18-approximately 21 years: Adult. Full internet privileges!

21-25 years: Sketchy adult. You can stay, but you’re on thin fucking ice.

25 years to end of life: Senior citizen. Old fart. Washed up has-been with nothing to contribute to society who should never socialize below their age bracket. Also probably a pedophile.
