cont: retort, heavy
i do write the alt text and i do write the CWs and i don't post the way i feel about the rise of fascism or what i think im built from mentally and i guess i can also handle the posty box being tiny
but after all that shit i have no energy left here if i want to post more deeply about how i feel, to make friends with my thoughts, to let someone relate, to not worry about whether my thought has good vibes because it feels like i'll get nuked if i fuck up once because my brain decided to be mean to me and i needed to write it somewhere so my friends can know whats up. so even if that probably wont happen i cant relax and just write stream-of-thoughts and livepost.
all of these are Not A Big Deal, a Tolerable Cost but there are simply too many!! what to do??
fedi meta, i am tired of posting, so please let me post, much bitching but its important
this platform is accursed. i have a thought. i'd like to post it.
- i open the webby site
- i get my brain bombarded by 3-5 other posts without even scrolling
- i TRY to remember what it was, and write it
- i need to figure out what CWs fit
- i probably can't post it if it's too controversial or triggering to someone
- i'm so, so tired of writing alt text and i've yet to know someone blind even
- with every word i write i can feel the thousand retorts e.g. "oh but im autistic and i rely on those alt texts too" well guess what its my post and im autistic too
- i read more posts i dont care about here or can do nothing to help with than just about any other platform, email or twitter or cohost are *all* better at this
- i am currently focused on the lists tab of the masto ui to not see the live post feed (even twitter has a "Show $x tweets" popup when theres more to read!!)
- i'd like to write deep posts but this community feels shallow as heck and i have 88 followers currently which is an absurd number of people to be reading my inner thoughts. pls let me post to a list and have that be more direct and separate from the big tl. fuck i might just host a mailing list for this.
- i have seen the same post 2382374 times because it shows you it again when another mutual boosts it?? come on..
- why cant i click on a hashtag and mute it
- why cant i write a filter for a single mutual
- why cant i limit the range of posts i see. i dont wanna see posts of someones friend's friend's friend's friend. [that's too many people to worry about](https://cohost.org/pervocracy/post/1514198-but-what-about-t), i cant fit them all in my heart.
- why cant i see my friends posts. no i dont care if they're on masto.social i just wanna see their posts in my client. goddamn
probably more missed
trans, dealing with excessive need for validation
some personal experience… when you’re trans, you tend to need a lot of validation, especially if you’ve internalized a lot of transphobia or you just have a case of the brainworms
but don’t aim for compliments like “you’re so cute/pretty/hot” or “wow nice transition timeline”. don’t make it about your body because you’re stuck with it, for better or worse. you know it doesn’t define you as a person, and focusing on it will only feed the brainworms. it’ll make you anxious and horribly self-conscious about your transness whenever you meet other people. do you pass? are you making people uncomfortable? are they talking behind your back?
instead, aim for “you’re such a good friend and i love having you around”, “i barely even remember what you used to be like but this really suits you”, “it’s like you radiate joy”, etc.
be proud of yourself for who you are, and show others the wonderful and unique person you’ve kept inside for so long.
let them appreciate you for who you are, not what you are. don’t let your battle with gender incongruence define you.

"oh but when the archeologists find your bones–"
WRONG! the archeologist who finds my bones will be a communist catgirl living in a post-gender anarchist utopia, and fae will not give a flying fuck about the fact that i had my bones dyed with the trans pride colors in a controversial and risky surgical procedure

if youre on a slow machine +pdfjs/firefox you can see the diagram of the insides of the computer load.. not just one image!! u can see it assembling itself almost as the page loads..
computer UI trivia question for our amusement: y'all know those computer prompts which have "(Y/N)" at the end, and want you to type one of those two letters?
(guessing this'll be weighted *heavily* towards the top, given fediverse, but I think it's still amusing to ask.)
(boosts okay but not remotely necessary.)
rant, shitty writing styles, subpost, vent, caps,
i hate the "you are not $x. you are not $y." format
first, i get to decide what i am. stop telling me.
and second, if i agree with you, i'm going to feel shit because saying that makes me consider "but what if i *am* $x and $y and i'm terrible" even if they're things i'm not
please JUST STOP doing it. its SO bad. pleeeeeeaseeee

I gave my map away, but it's time to push and pull, change and ~~kill your past~~. Oh... To know the catharsis of loving again reminds us of how much we bled. This heart wasn't made for loving anyone, but now I know where I am. I make my own path.
