Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Excellent choice people.
I have been bouncing around tumblr, and have gotten trapped, mesmerised, in the tumblr of someone who hates me. She's a trans woman who hates cis people, especially cis people who think they are allies. I hate losing before I even start doing anything. I just want to be a good, accepting, helpful, thoughtful person, dammit.
Then again, I'm not sure she cares about that, so I am not going to get hung up on not having her approval. But her tumblr is quite mesmerising. It's a lot of anger. I have also learnt about the radscum (when you're angry about the radfems (radical feminists) that's what you call them--you hate the first and second wave, and you're not excited about the third), and the total ubiquity of cis privilege. Which is giving me some insight into white people, by the way. Extra useful.

Quiver in fear, folks. I gave my mom my old laptop for her birthday yesterday and she'll likely be online within the week.
Yes, I googled myself to make sure nothing too incriminating shows up in the first few pages.

I can understand why a trans woman might have lots of anger and might direct much of that anger towards cis people, especially cis people who think of themselves as allies but who are not and never will be trans. But I wouldn't really want to spend a lot of time in close proximity to her anger.

I just joined Tumblr. I seemed to be stuck in the corner that's pretty pictures of Sherlock and Downton Abbey. I need to explore more.

I have discovered, to my horror, that my twitter account comes up when you google Sue + lastname, even though I tried to keep my last name out of it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
