Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
how do I do subcutaneous injections in my belly without the needle going all over the place when I breathe? is there like a trick? this shit hurts
I got my copy of The Left Hand of Darkness back and I'm going to try to finish it this time.
Does it matter what mascara I get, or can I just get anything from the convenience store?
Armored Core gave me the 'tism
... Well not really, I've been suspecting it for about a year now, but between how obsessed I've gotten with Armored Core and some of the posts here in the last thread that helped me think it through I am realising that I am probably way more autistic than I thought I was. Like jesus christ I started spreadsheet optimising this damn series less than a week after I got into it. I am the densest motherfucker alive yet again.
cw weird sex related question
Does anybody have any trans inclusive/focused zines, books, whatever about sex? I'm thinkin like Fucking Trans Women but even cooler and funnier idk. I have not found a lot on this outside of like, old tumblr.
Transfemme preferred I guess but tbh I'm game to read whatever, if there is a transmasc equivalent to FTW I would devour that too just for fun.
Can I please make it another 5 hours without having to make another decision on the unit always scared it's gonna be the wrong one
Just 5 boring hours, please, if you wouldn't mind
I feel like this piano book wanted me to start reading it closer to the holidays.
First it taught me Silent Night and now Auld Lang Syne
looking forward to my progesterone turning up, but if the results are particularly obvious that might be my days of plausibly boymoding over lmao
Nevada-ing
People have called Nevada "ground zero for modern trans litera- ture," and while I get that-before it was published, I don't think I'd read a novel with a trans character (much less protagonist) who I didn't at least sort of hate- I don't really feel like a genius visionary who invented literature centering marginalized experiences. At the very least, this idea occludes the work other people had done that made Nevada possible. So rather than focus on my own brilliance, I want to use this afterword to name and appreciate a few of the things without which Nevada could not have happened.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, CHAT, SHE IS REALLY GONNA DO IT.
Edit: this is utterly deranged, this afterword is written in almost exactly the same tone she writes Nevada in. That's not a stylistic flourish for her fiction, I guess she just actually talks like this? Fucking rad, I guess her blog posts were like this too actually.
MORE, ft. Shitty takes abt trans men
This, by the way, is context for some of the things that Maria says about trans guys that seem fucked up a decade and a half later.
Oh yeah, so she actually WAS just bitter and angry and shitty at trans men and she's running defense for it, because she lived with trans guys who did transmisogyny at the time. My initial read was bang-fucking on 
If I seem gleeful, it's not because I wanna beat up Binnie or whatever but rather because this Afterword is finally confirming a bunch of weird shit I had assumed about Nevada, or had to gather vaguely in discussions like the ones we have here. I was right I knew it!!! All along!!!!!!!!
I guess at least she's owning up to it? But lol. I wonder if this book is responsible for any Tumblr flame wars, it has to be.
Also seeing Binnie say "nonbinary" is a break in the timestream. That's not fucking "genderqueer", what the fuck! You exist outside of 2008???
The reference to This Bridge Called My Back is surprising and pleasant, you kinda wonder how Nevada still ends up doing what is basically the "white-people-anti-racist-work" equivalent of Land Acknowledgement. Like, Otros Valles by Jamie Berrout stands in really incredibly stark contrast to Nevada, they have to be a pair y'know.
I would have to read all of this stuff, Junot Dรญaz and Dennis Cooper and Joanna Russ probably to see where Nevada's signature lovable style came from, but also maybe that is just Imogen Binnie herself.
More of this to come.
