how common is it to know what your alternative chosen baby name is? my hypothesis is that it’s more likely for gen x and elder millennials because our parents didn’t know the baby’s sex ahead of time

and i’m sure not everyone’s parents tell them what their alternative name is. i know the most common is choosing your feminized (or masculinized) current name

i can’t reveal my name for opsec but it is veeeeery different then my legal name (and deadname to some). really boring but it fits me because it can be shortened to be femme, masc, or andro

i was (shamefully) looking through your recent history because i have been absent to see what i missed

only to find out u are 3 inches taller then me

if it was possible to, one could go back to my earliest posts when this site opened, wishcasting Chinese fusion power systems and coilguns, distributed to the global south and other revolutions

it was just nerdy sci-fi brain but i am happy that these prophesies continue to bear fruit

so if in the next few years Greta Thurnburg and a team of activists are decked out with these things then I’m going to freak the fuck out and wonder who’s been putting Spice Melange in my couscous

my partner awaits that day until then they are forced to accept Inanna’s gifts that are given to all non-binary people

she was still my first until i realized it was actually Ishtar/Inanna the whole time

the war nerd in me still likes Athena’s whole deal but i couldn’t help but submit before the concept of warrior goddess in full makeup and voluminous dancer’s regalia cleaving through her foes effortlessly in time with music

is this the one that said DSA is the only ‘political party’ actually about “making america great again” a few mos ago? or one of those in his circle?

i kind of called this. they are just attracted to the nationalistic elements of social democracy, the whole “the state should help it’s own” part. you know, That One Lenin Quote ™

that and Mamdani has rizz. more rizz then any other dem or rightist. if not for the Obama-like sheen, he really could be the “Trump of the Left” just by virtue of his charisma and appeal

my mom, lifelong lib with borderline transphobia (this is why i can’t come out to her now, and she dismissed me when i did almost 16 years ago as ‘normal feelings’): she has now openly embraced socialism as a concept because he is basically a lib Boomer Whisperer. “he’s so well spoken” - my mom

semi-related but i have had to give her multiple hours long crash courses on U.S. imperialism and historical materialism to keep her lifeboat from going adrift

there won’t be anyone to do this for Sneako even if he’s genuine. unless Hasan is going to immediately become his best friend or maybe the Deprogram guys

this is such whiplash

i wish i could geek out and go back to being a mid 2010s closeted trans and unleash my kerbal fueled special spaceflight interest again.

that me would be so into this mission i would be excited about every tiny detail

i love cats but not that one. they get pure malevolent ambivalence from me

lately i’ve been feeling like maybe it was an error to choose an ancient Mesopotamian war goddess as my patron Goddess (praise be to my Queen)

did we all pick up on Ishtar/Inanna/Astarte together and manifest this shit and now we’re seeing what happens when a Goddess awakens and is super pissed off?

it would be so rad if that was the bulk of the population and when surveys about trans people are done they are just confused and answer randomly

just fine with accepting whatever is in front of them.

like legit tho it could be like 30% right?

this has got to be that chinese AI video gen that’s banned in the states isn’t it?

they are truly ahead in every way imaginable

yeah but he’s both touching the money and deliberately rapidly disassembling the empire and they are just letting him

goddess i wish i had time to learn more hobby skills. i’m genuinely interested in almost everything and can develop baseline aptitudes in all kinds of stuff

too bad riding this thing to collapse because some socialism where i only have to work 20 hrs a week and can “work” the other 20 on stuff like that would have been delightful

him and his stuck up cat

i wish. i do love peanut butter

honestly i would kill to work for that coop they really seem to walk the walk. democratically managed, really flat payscale. i’ve been using them as an example to sell to my dejected ideologically lost co-workers about how we could do a market economy “the correct way”

PLA reveals sub-orbital drone carrying SCRAMjet bomber with unlimited range and capable of docking with their space station days after sixth US carrier struck

i did a very brief tour during the afghan war “surge” but i was kind of taken advantage of

still glad to do my part

i had no idea Aphex Twin did chill JRPG music i’m just familiar with all the twisted industrial stuff

yeah i thought they had a star trek style cloaking device until i was told about the radar thing

a bit later in life, i was surprised how quiet a B2 that did a pass during an air show was though. didn’t hear it until directly overhead.

it just looked like some wing shaped sky trash drifting lazily in the wind
