thinking out loud about how authoritarians stylize themselves
Economic Liberals (capital L) are the kind of authoritarians who are always rebranding, changing their name, etc. Whereas authoritarian communists will be reusing the same old symbols for the same old historical roleplay until the end of time. If you have to keep carrying around the same big man heads on portraits everywhere you have to keep the iconography consistent to keep their... uh... appeal? Or.. is Lenin a brand? Is he like the Orville Redenbacher of Communism?
removing the headphone jack (and therefore the inexpensive options for private listening) is the worst thing phone makers ever did for the public space
like, please put it back and remove the speaker instead, I'm going insane listening to three different people scroll tiktok and one person doing spanish duolingo out loud around me on this train
Hey white people, if you can stop being racist pieces of shit for two mins and send me money so I can get my teeth fixed next week that would be so cool :)
Or is my Blackness too scary to give. At least waste your time on something fucking productive :)

It's been pointed out that we T-takers, trans-men, transmascs, non-binary people who want testosterone for whatever reason, have not been bringing our experiences of it to the fedi the way those taking E do.
So I'm gonna start sharing some #earlyTMemories with the tags #tDiary and #testosteroneDiary (going to do some reviving of the #LiamsTJourney tag while I'm at it)
Hopefully these things will catch on eventually, so those looking to hear our stories can find 'em. It's so reassuring to hear the stories of others when you're looking into taking a big step like starting taking testosterone.
edit: credit to @erosdiscordia for the idea and the hashtags.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
