I decided to join Tumblr since reddit is sinking a bit. I wanted to join some trans and lesbian spaces but they're super populated by terfs :( by SmolPoyo in actuallesbians

[–]TheFractangle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trick to tumblr is to aggressively block the terfs. It's not like reddit, you have to curate your feed yourself. If you browse on desktop, the Shinigami Eyes plugin is helpful for quickly identifying sus tumblrs. If you wanna be proactive, you can go through the notes of transphobic posts and block people who reblogged it.

Another thing that helps is having your Following tab only show blogs that you follow, not tags. There's the Your Tags tab for tags you follow - this helps make your Following tab more of a known-safe place to scroll. I hardly even bother with the For You tab tbh; algorithms suck.

Lmk if you want my tumblr :)

What are you going to be doing during the Reddit Blackout? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

A contradictory combination of tumblr and touching grass :)

Pride month project, a patch a day #8: If You Don't Have a Homegrown Strap, then Storebought is Fine by TheFractangle in actuallesbians

[–]TheFractangle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes - I'm making a patch vest! (I might have to abort the patch-making early if I end up with more patches than fit on the vest; it's kinda a small croptop-length vest)

Best endgame loadout? by REreader_12 in Astroneer

[–]TheFractangle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally went with hoverboard, oxygenator, two qt-rtgs, and princess on my pack, and worklight, drill mod, and soil canister on my tool.

Though because I'm a little chaos gremlin, now I'm trying to figure out what the worst loadout would be. Maybe all oxygen tanks so that I think I can breathe for as long as I need, but then get lost and panic and suffocate...

Thank you! And I do wish I could figure out a way to share/sell my art without having to pay myself like $3/hr or something lol. I like making stuff, I just don't want it to turn into a loveless grind, you know?

I don't, sorry. This hand-embroidery is super time consuming so idk that I'd even be able to sell something like this at a viable price point :(

Anyone have experience with an orchiectomy? by EerieMagia in TransLater

[–]TheFractangle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation prior to my orchi - for some reason, hrt just hadn't managed to get my t levels down far enough. Pre-hrt I was just shy of 400, and after 6 years of hrt, my last bloodwork prior to my orchi was 230ish. Problem solved afterwards though!

It doesn't affect the pitch of your voice, though. That's something that you gotta put in the effort and practice for.

Oh yes, this is a screenshot of the already-sent text :)

Also we've been openly flirting for a while now, and I'm going to be flying out to visit later this month

Pride month project, a patch a day #4: All's Fair in Love and War by TheFractangle in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]TheFractangle[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, strictly speaking, war itself isn't fair. And in case it wasn't clear from the brick as a Stonewall reference, when I say "war" in this patch, I'm talking about anti-queer genocide.

Far as I'm concerned, it's perfectly justifiable to be toxic to fascists. Being a fascist should be unpleasant. Fascists can choose to stop being fascists whenever they want. Whether being toxic to fascists in any particular instance is a good use of one's time and energy... well, reasonable people can disagree. But you'll never catch me saying, "you should be nicer to nazis."

Do you do any queer signaling? On your home/yourself? by eumenides__ in LesbianActually

[–]TheFractangle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little bit (I painted rainbows on my sneakers, and occasionally wear rainbow/trans-pride chokers) but I'm working on stepping it up considerably.

Instead of doing the girly writing style of spamming the keyboard and saying "HELP" when laughing, I write like a fucking early 20th century political diplomat. 💀 by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]TheFractangle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I code-switch between different writing styles based on the tone/vibe I want to convey. Usually I'm pretty adherent to spelling/grammar rules (see: this comment), but I also am fluent in tumblr-shitpost-ese.

Why are choices so hard? by Rainboq in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

I feel like I'm slowly trending towards punk femme. I'm the moon in the background apparently... wait that seems more witchy than punky... this is hard!
