IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)

On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!

Do you love transgenders?

Do you love communism?

Do you love queer romance?

Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?

Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?

Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?

All of the answers should be: YES I DO ~~or else I WILL BAN YOU~~

Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY

The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists pigmask-off , Zionists hamas-base (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) lenin-dont-laugh in Bosporus, and the monarchs gui-trans of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.

On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union soviet-chad is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain left-unity-4 )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human bridget-disco , Shimmi kbity-how (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran transshork-happy (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.

First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist three-heads-thinking leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home chad-stalin , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. specter

As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...

And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.

Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands

All are Communists steban

All serve the Union USSR

All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism comrade-stoic

but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt

Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

FIND OUT HERE: https://unjustdepths.com/

please do or else I will pout incessantly

just try it pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase i need to talk to someone about it after Cromalin went AFK

(I miss her, she was a real one)

Setup an appointment with the campus counseling services. They don't offer long-term care (or gender care), but I should at least be able to get a referral for insurance purposes (IDK how much it'll be with the shitty student health plan). I've never felt able to pursue treatment, due to a paranoia of being involuntarily institutionalized. I've always lied on intake questionnaires.

I also need to contact local LGBT+ groups to figure out what external providers have a good track-record with gender affirming care. I've seen plenty of horror stories (here and elsewhere) about therapists.

EDIT:

Talking about a dream. Transphobia in the dream.Also had an interesting dream last where I was openly femme-presenting and part of an international team of Russian mercenaries who performed operations for the liberation of oppressed peoples. My nickname/call sign was the F-slur, and there was misgendering at first but they did settle on she/her pronouns by the end. So it wasn't too bad. I think we invaded the Australian parliament and forced the government to cede land back to the Aboriginal people.

I'm putting the finishing touches on an app I'm working on and just now realizing a big part of UX design is preventing users from doing something stupid or at least telling them to stop trying to do stupid things

though I will admit sometimes I need that when I'm the user blob-no-thoughts

Been thinking about monsters lately, it's getting to SPOOKY season so it's on my mind.

I think it's pretty well known that monsters generally represent the neuroticisms and anxieties of a given culture. Two of the best known are: Vampires, old perverse aristocrats literally sucking the life blood of the peasants/working class and seemingly unable to enjoy any of the wealth or food they've pulled together; Zombies (more Romero on), representing mindless consumerism and the loss of individuality.

Mummies come about out of colonial guilt and fascination with Egypt, the guilt of plundering ancient resting places and grinding ancient kings into paint (and also food). And of course, Indian Burial Grounds in King and pop culture more generally giving rise to cursed land that drive out or kill white settlers like in Poltergeist or Pet Semetary. Or Frankenstein coming about at the frontier of biological sciences, if they can make microbes come back to life and make dead frogs and their legs bounce about with the application of electricty - why not a human? Or even more recently, Jurassic Park (now more child friendly because of the movies but the original book is quite horrific) showing we are fucking around with things we don't understand on the edge of microbiological sciences. I remember a similar feeling when I was in a genetics lab and we were inserting vectors in E Coli to make them antibiotic resistant and glow in UV light and thinking "mkay this is way too prosaic of a setting, an early morning lab in a 2nd year Bachelor's degree course, for us to be messing this closely with genes, cause across the way they're inserting fluorescent anti-cancer antibodies and messing around with HeLa cells, and etc."

And then the way more recent, like the past couple decades, monsters are like Slenderman or the momo challenge or the backrooms seem to be more about the leaking of computer/the internet with the real world with usually terrifying or deadly consequences.

Anyway, that's my yapping

If you're sick with something, even if it's not even bad or a real illness, you're supposed to like lay in bed 24/7 until it goes away right?

Changing name talkI found that I don't particularly care about my name? Like sure it's just a word I'm used to and I might like maybe other names slightly more, but overall I don't care enough to change it as names for me don't really matter. Maybe if I get a more androgynous or femme name I'd enjoy it but so far I'm fine with my assigned at birth one even if I don't identify with AGAB. I know for many trans people name is a big thing, idk why it isn't for me. Perhaps it's the dissociation or something else, no clue

i never know what to post here. my life sounds very strange to most people, and has little to do with being trans anymore. but i wanna do my part for the war effort. so have an update on my morning.

i drove to the nearest village to do my weekly check for mail. my package wasn't there. very annoying. but i didn't want to waste a trip so i went skipping and found some floor tiles, 10m of agricultural hosepipe, a bucket, a chair and a window frame. this will all come in handy.

For the people who asked for mini pics a few days ago, here are the last two I did.

My Painted Minis

The first one is the mini of the month. It was supposed to be a joke mini as the theme for this mini from my store was supposed to be camo. I was going to poorly paint it in Ultramarine colors, put an awkwardly painted omega and write β€œUltrahumies” on it. I know it’s AoS, but I wanted to have fun. But it turned out very nicely, so I just ran with it. It’s one of my better paint jobs for sure.

Not fond of the second one. Kept the colors flat as I didn’t want to mix up proper highlights and the like for that color of blue. It turned out fine, but it’s really flat and I hate it. I’m not gonna go back and fix it.

Uhhh everyone I know irl has such terrible security culture, is addicted to instagram, and wants to be publicly sharing things that put my comrades at risk and i feel like I'm screaming into the void when i talk to anyone about it

Honestly if youre in an organising space, pick an alias, half the people I've met through organising, I really wish they didnt know my name.

::: spoiler cw mental/physical health Im slowly realizing how much the years of physical therapy I had as a child fucked me up emotionally without actually doing anything for me physically. One hour a week of being told that the way my body exists is wrong and bad, and that the way I move my body was wrong. I stopped dancing, i used to dance so much and i loved it, i just stopped being able to move my body in expressive ways. and it all coincided with puberty where my body went from fine to actually terrible for me to exist in and i got all dysphoric without having the words to talk about it. Fuck i never had a chance did i?

This is the 2nd kid in as many days where they parents saw a tiny little bit of improvement and now they wanna go home.

Cmon, your child couldn't breathe yesterday in emergency until they got dex (one kid needed mag sulfate 😬) and back to back ventolin. They still needed oxygen overnight to maintain their sats even though we got them off hiflo. No. The doctors will not discharge you - you can always leave against medical advice (this isnt prison) but it's a whole thing, just stay the extra night and day.

Also, already getting weary of anti medicine and anti immunization parents and respiratory season barely started. What the fuck do you want us to do. You don't believe in medicine for your child and don't want them to get anything. Like. That's what the hospital is for. Sure, we can get an xray - oh whaddya know, bronchitis/asthma exacerbation. Would you like to treat it besides the oxygen nasal prongs your kids been fighting for the last day?

[–] yewler@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (20 children)

OK so please don't Matt Walsh me, but what the fuck is a woman? It's an undeniable fact that I prefer she/her to he/him. I love my chosen name so many times more than my birth one. Every time I remind myself I'm wearing lady socks, I feel cozy (most accurate word I can think of). But if I ask myself if I actually "feel" like a woman, I can't answer it. I get that I get to claim the word if I want it, but I can't figure out if I do. It's weird.

I have gained gender confusion once again

datingSo I've been on the Dating Apps again this past day, and it's just making me feel more hopeless that I'll ever find a long-term partner. I have in my profiles that I will only consider seriously dating someone else who is COVID-cautious, and that's just... not most people. I'd also like to ideally date someone else who's vegan, but I won't require that. Just the COVID-cautious thing is enough to weed out basically everyone.

ukkk

Edit: The fictitious equivalence in the word "totalitarianism" matches the libs here β€” obviously "fascism" would be preferable to insert here regardless of Orwell's stated intent

[–] buh@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (4 children)

did anyone else get into trans artists/creators long before your egg cracked? way back when I was 15 I got into the industrial music band throbbing gristle. I knew their lead vocalist was "trans" but I didn't really know what it meant; I thought it was just crossdressing or something like that. I respected it though, I just thought it was something for "artsy people" and not someone like me.
