listen up

So y'all I was thinking, right. And it seems to me like a lot of you (like all of you) avoid some of my more ranty posts. And I figure it's like, you don't agree with me but I sound like I might hunt you down and bite your face for disagreeing with me? And I won't do that. I mean, I do like debate, I really don't mind people disagreeing with me, as long as you're respectful and not patronizing about it.

(I assume none of you are going to express an opinion like that I should be checking myself into a mental health hospital for being trans or else you would not be reading my journal and getting trans cooties on your eyeballs and digital feelers? But yeah that isn't an opinion it's bigotry)

So yeah. I won't rip you apart for disagreeing, promise. Like

anobjectinspace disagrees with me sometimes and you know OBVIOUSLY HE IS WRONG AND WILL AGREE EVENTUALLY e u e but he's still alive, for the most part.

Also, I feel like I should follow this post up with a bit because it seems in retrospect like it might not have been entirely comprehensible to cis readers, because like...there's some things that I've realized almost all cis people just do not know or have any way really of knowing, and this in particular is one of the things, pertaining to that entry:

Ugh LJ

Oh look, the new comment pages went into effect. Joy.

I don't understand why something like this, that sacrifices functionality for someone's questionable ideas of aesthetics, can't be optional. Usually I don't care too much what changes they make to LJ, but hiding comment subjects? What the fuck?

Also, with the way comment pages load now, no way will I be able to browse on my phone. Again, no added functionality. This is all just so it 'looks better'.

I have a feeling they're blindly reaching towards the 'facebook' aesthetic in hopes it will make LJ seem more trendy/relevant. If that's the case, I am seriously unimpressed. There are very few good reasons to imitate a more popular service or company, and I can't see any of them being at play here. Facebook isn't even a direct competitor. You might call LJ social media, but facebook is not a blogging platform, nor is anybody using it like one, although the function is potentially there.

I might just be irritated by the fact that facebook is everywhere these days. I don't have a problem with facebook. I have a problem with all the websites that suddenly offer syncing of your account there with your facebook account. How many people actually use that? I've observed very few on LJ. It shows a lack of understanding as to why facebook is so popular and how to increase interest in one's own site. It worries me when the websites I enjoy are clearly in the hands of people who don't know wtf they're doing.

I'm going to stop now, I should probably sleep. Oh, but first:

If

ocelotofdoom and I were to take over a terraforming mission and make the planet into a, hmm, Genosha, who would want to come with us? Privilegebutts need not apply, you can take over your own terraforming mission and go make Planet Bigotry and enjoy yourselves over there. Fair warning: I will probably institute communism. Feel free to fight me on it though

P.S. Also help me settle on my next haircut? I'm getting it done soon. Plz tell me what to do. Here is what it looks like now, I took pics just for you guys:

Terrible right? Make me some suggestionsss

Scary Trolls

So I spent a lot of time thinking about this lately (and have apparently come to the conclusion that you guys care as much as I do about why I do the things I do). Basically, about why I acted the way I did on Saturday (spending most of my work breaks arguing with assholes on the internet despite the emotional stress it caused).

Are you liking the parentheses? I am thinking of concluding all of my thoughts with parenthetical clauses from now on (jk, jk).

Okay, srsface now:
( Warning for brief mention of being suicidal )

So yes. That was a journey into introspection for me, which I thought some of you might find at least tangentially interesting.

In other news, I think I've actually narrowed my choices down to two names: Sydney and Cortland. I'm not going to rush into choosing though, since I learned my lesson last time after investing so much into Christian and then realizing I didn't like it at all. Although I think part of that mistake was my initial euphoria of 'OH MY GOD I CAN FINALLY HAVE A NAME THAT IS ACTUALLY ME'. As opposed to my current name which I just feel is something that people call me. Kind of like they're whistling at me like I'm a dog. Which is terrible, but I realized that's really how I feel about it, and it's why I'm not really participating in the ontdcreepy facebook page even though I want to...because obviously the only thing they have to call me by is my first name. Ugh.

Yes, I did just load this post with tags. Yes, they are all relevant.

I have an apron :D

So just got back from my first shift back at work again (at a chain donut/coffee shop). We have new uniforms! Dark blue jeans, white polo t-shirt, and a brown apron. I have never actually gotten to wear an apron before but I personally think aprons are adorable and also I am adorable in an apron :D

Anyways, I was thinking about this at work (closing shift at DD's=lots of time to think, lol...more cleaning than customers) and figured I could write up a post on it.

Basically, this is in response to those religious (often Christian) people who believe trans people are not 'really' trans, specifically because "God doesn't make mistakes". I have A Lot Of Thoughts on this, but have never really written them out, since my general policy is to not engage people who are being deliberately transphobic; but I suppose I should not wait to be provoked to have my say.

This is probably obvious, but I'll just point out here that beyond the cut there is a lot of religious talk, specifically Christian-centric, and it will probably be very YMMV for other Christians as well depending on your personal beliefs. It will also be YMMV for other trans people, I expect. Basically, these are just my thoughts and my beliefs (and don't even come close to representing the whole of my beliefs), etc. etc., y'all are mature so I know you can handle that.

( That said, let's go on a magical adventure~ )

(Also, I just realized this is both my only queer icon and my only religious icon, lololol)

(...religious icon. LOL. Get it? 6 u 9)
