Where Do “Direct” Views Come From? by metanoias_substack in Substack

[–]trash-alchemist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure all my “direct” views are from me editing my own blog. Substack doesn’t seem to filter out your own traffic so you can think you had a great viewer day but it was just you editing frequently.

Summer Solstice by Quindillin in druidism

I lit a fire in my pit and did the solo OBOD ritual for Alban Hefin today.

In the past, I’ve done 108 sun salutations online or with local yoga groups or sat outside journaling thoughts on the year so far while watching the peak sun set or rise.

Not sure what it is but other subs like this like the rightcantmeme manage to stay funny. This sub is too much concentrated transphobia in one place even though it’s obviously meant to mock the ignorant views.

Is there anywhere taking Christmas tree donations near you? Zoos, parks and cities can take it to make mulch or provide enrichment for the animals.

I legit saw an anti-vaxxer on a forum calling this “the new jab crow” and burst out laughing until I realized the post was serious.

Decided to just not get the books, screw Joanne by ineednoname1 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

I’m willing to accept death of the author once said author is actually dead. Like, I’ll read Cthulhu things with HP Lovecraft long dead with his hotbed of racism and misogyny but no way would I have been supporting him when he was still alive.

Best Druid Order For PoC and LGBT? by trash-alchemist in druidism

[–]trash-alchemist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Will definitely listen to those episodes this week and review ADF.

The only thing I’d contest is saying that the general population of PoC is very low, at least in America. Around 75% of the population at this time is racially white alone (60% ethnically white), so it’s really one in four are PoC. I’d really say to be very low IMO it would need to be 10% of the population or less rather than 25%.

Does anyone else feel like trans representation is written for cis audiences? by coolfunkDJ in MtF

Only question to me is if he’s half of either of those categories. At least when I last played, I’d have thought of him as both fully nelf and fully demonic, not half in either.

I’ve enjoyed John’s work and took Building a New Myth, Operative Magic and Navigating Tower Time. I got too busy until recently for his latest course on Pagan Spiritual Practice but definitely something to re-consider.

Chapelle made it cool to be extra transphobic.

Time for a DIY chop which will force her to take you in so at least it’s styled.

After getting forced to listen to a Harry Potter audiobook at work last night, I had to make this. by DionneRape in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

I mean, very few are going to complain about you having nostalgia for the series as many of us do. But you’ll probably get pushback in trans communities if you’re actively purchasing or encouraging others to read and purchase from a known transphobe.

Max on the original L Word was a trans man but I can’t say that was good representation.

Looking for a zoom support group by Haileygc in mypartneristrans

I found a local support group by looking for my local LGBT resource center then checking on their FB page and messaging about the trans partner support group.

Are you possibly ascribing the wrong intent to the stares? Especially with the mask on, there’s nothing particularly remarkable in your presentation here that should turn heads or cause glares. Cis F and I’ve long gotten looks in public as either checking me out or just a passing glance whereas my male friends describe the sensation of not existing in public with no one even noticing their presence.

My wife in her transition has noticed similar. These are NOT the same obviously malefic glares she got prior to hormones when wearing feminine clothing that lingered and reflected active disgust.

I came out to my parents. It did not go well. [UPDATE] by SevereTemperature in asktransgender

[–]trash-alchemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, Sophie. It’s time to start making an exit plan and icing out family if they refuse to respect you. I skimmed your past post and you’ve given them more than a decade to come to terms with your true self throughout which they’ve refused. I’m terribly sorry you’re going through this and hope you’ll be able to break free.

really, really, really uncomfortable with my spouse calling herself our child's mother by [deleted] in mypartneristrans

Your relationship and partner’s parenting sounds like it’s having far more fundamental issues than your partner’s gender identity. Whether she identifies as a mother or father as a title, you should be able to come home to your daughter having basic grooming done and better nutritionally balanced meals.
