Sure does, I basically don’t bother with the other modes because the meow is so damn good

Thankyou! I adore it, it’s probably my most beautiful instrument, though to be fair my keyboard is really giving it a run for it’s money

I’m a guitarist too! The upside down thing is crazy, but I’m not having too much trouble adapting to it. I’m really loving that there are tons of viable barre shapes, working out melody is going to be nuts though lol

They are being illegally logged and I’m super pissed about it, I grew up in them. The postcards are part of a campaign to help save them by writing to the state minister for the environment, I’ve been finding it hard to do because it’s such an emotional thing for me…

I wear emo makeup and I can’t tell if I love it because it’s emo or because it makes me feel girly when I put on eyeliner…

I absolutely agree that it shouldn’t be considered gendered, makeup is awesome.

It’s a nanoblocks kit, the pieces are painfully small

I’ve got a Dialga too, but I haven’t finished putting it together

Yeah, fair enough. Best of luck, you deserve happiness and I’m rooting for you

I’m so sorry that you had such a horrible journey, but I’m so proud of you for making it this far

Can’t agree more, the HAFF was and frankly still is weak. All Labor has to do is pull some of the $14.5 billion in fossil fuel subsidies and they could easily build a ton of housing right now…

No clue how true it was, but there’s a bit of a joke in physics that Einstein was really bad at the maths of general relativity. His incredible insight was that gravity is geometric, rather than the actual mathematical framework.

I’ve been thinking about this a bit today, and I think you’re right at least in regards to the argumentative liberals we see online. Irl liberals in my experience are just sort of in the first stages of the pipeline towards the left (might be different in other countries I’m in Aus).

The worst liberals will throw around the word tankie as an excuse to treat you like vermin, even if you despise tankies and have never once expressed a tankie point. You can’t talk about tolerance if your first move when someone disagrees with you is to shit on them in order to feel superior…

HELL YEAH!!! I’m so goddamn happy for you!!!

egg_irl was a big part of it for me too, it’s an awesome place

That’s sort of my experience, but I’ll also add that if you don’t know that being trans is a thing then it’s possible to just not recognise what it is or that you can do something about it.

The real sign of being trans is if you go to egg_irl and start relating to almost everything lol /s kinda (sorry I haven’t got a clue how to link communities)

Tbh there’s no magic bullet to be sure, but if you fantasize about being a different gender that’s a pretty big one, cis people don’t do that.

I’ll add an edit: The only thing that confirmed it to me, was how excited I felt after I took hormones for the first time. Beginning them was terrifying, “what if I damage my body and I actually didn’t want this?” kinda stuff, but then I realised I wouldn’t have been waiting 6 months and been to all these appointments if I wasn’t, took the damn pill and felt amazing. It’s been ~9 months now and it’s made me insanely happy, that’s the only concrete proof I can offer to myself that I am in fact trans.

Pretty sure my inability to use a chair correctly is what makes me bi, thinking everyone is hot is just a side effect

I am trans and I can say I’ve never felt like I was in the wrong body, I think most of the time that’s just a relatively flawed way to describe an experience that can’t truely be understood unless you’ve experienced it.

Of course, no one has the same experience with these things and it’s entirely valid if everyone else does feel that way. For me it’s mostly just been that something felt like it was missing, and I fixed that when I began to transition. The main thing was how much happier the internal changes made me, estrogen changes how you experience emotions and being out to my family had a similar effect.

When it comes to “signs” the biggest was just being envious of people who had the freedom to express differently than me. I can confirm that it’s a gradual realisation, though honestly most of that was overcoming shame and internalised transphobia.

That’s basically the case, Labor recently (as in this last week) approved new fossil fuel extraction projects to open in fucking the 2060s and 2080s… (We are meant to be at zero emissions by 2050)

They’re also giving out an ungodly amount of subsidies to fossil fuel companies, to the tune of $14.5 Billion

The climate activism group I’m with arranged a bunch of snap protests around Melbourne at Labor offices. The one federal member who came out to talk to us basically just tried to distract from all of this with the increase in renewables spending, but she also implied that they had to keep opening new projects like this because of the money…

I was so confused by this title because I kept reading it as pro hate towards Israel lol

I think they’re talking about immitation meat, not tofu…
