Fun fact: there are plenty of stainless steel sex toys of all shapes and sizes, and a rubber is another name for a condom, so the joke works!
Yes! Please let me be part of the flesh devouring hive mind colony that likes books and lives in the dark.
There are a lot of different types of poly relationship structures and different names for them. The base unit of relationship is a standard couple where 2 people are together. Add another person in and they can either be in a relationship with only one of those people and form a "hinge" aka "V" or be in a relationship with both of those people and form a "triad" aka "throuple". As many people as those involved consent to can be added this way.
Most of the time it's one person who is in a relationship with multiple people who are each in relationships with multiple people. This forms a "polycule". Where you have the people you're in relationships with aka your "paramours" and they have the people they're in relationships with aka your "metamours". This group of relationships can take many forms and can be drawn out into a cool diagram like a molecule, hence the name polycule.
The people you're in a relationship with can break up with you like in any other relationship and vice versa. It's more complicated when you add in housing situations if you're all living together, multiple people are all dating each other, or if two people are married.
Using one of my breakups as an example:I've been in a triad where one person broke up with the other. I was then put in the middle of their breakup drama. I set a boundary of not wanting to deal with their drama/shit talking of the other. One of them kept breaking that boundary, so I broke up with that person while still being in a relationship with the other. Luckily I was living with the person I stayed with or that would've been way more complicated.
During hostile ignorance:
- I had to leave the state I grew up in to get into a place I could access medical care, get away from an unaccepting family, and get into a place I wasn't afraid of being attacked while transitioning (being visibly trans till HRT kicked in).
- Trans panic was seen as more of a valid defence back then for killing trans people.
- I think we were seen as more of a curiosity/fetish than people, but that's debatable since that's definitely still an issue.
- People were more afraid of being visibly trans and finding community outside of forums was harder.
- I was certain I'd lose my job when I inevitably had to come out and had prepared for it by saving up enough to get me through finding another job. I was amazed when that didn't happen and most of the company accepted me. I still had to deal with harassment that nowadays would probably get those people fired.
During hostile attention:
- I had to leave my home due to the state no longer ignoring us and focusing on passing laws to make our lives more difficult.
- I know a ton of trans people and have a stronger support network. Finding others is easier now.
- Medical care is easier to get now if you aren't living in one of the states currently trying to ban HRT.
- Parents seem a little more accepting but it's still divisive
- I'm less afraid of the average person fucking with me in most areas of the US
- I'm afraid of government attempts to round myself or loved ones up into camps within the next few years.
Generally, I prefer the visibility and broader social acceptance we have now. More people know about us, so more people hate us but way more people accept us. I see it as how being gay was in the aughts. More people were out and it was less of a big deal even though there was still a lot of hate crimes against gay people. Now it's way more accepted outside of ultra conservative areas. I'm hoping we are more accepted within a decade instead of being rounded up and killed en masse.
Lesser known chess move like en passant. When you get into the ménage à trois board state you're forced to immediately stop the game and eiffel tower with your opponent and any 3rd party. Whoever cums first loses.
There are definitely some amazing PMs, but I've met way more terrible PMs who don't know shit about fuck and don't care to learn than good PMs.
He's said and done a lot of antisemitic things and spread Nazi ideology.

Much like Mr Beast and other top YouTubers, he only cares about himself and has used controversies of other YouTubers to try to take the spotlight off the fucked up things he's done.

Luckily the 12th amendment prevents that.
But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States

This article is a good breakdown.https://www.wcpo.com/transgender-mice-fact-check-trump-2025
The transgenic mice thing is for one of the several studies listed which I think we're justified in highlighting and poking fun of their lack of QA and reading comprehension in these releases since they're supposed to be representing the US and acting like drunken college students doing their homework the night before it's due.
The other studies are on the affects of HRT or "gender-affirming therapy" which is used by cis people all the time. Ever heard of a cis man going to get testosterone because he's concerned about his low T? That's gender affirming therapy. Most cis people don't realize how much "trans healthcare" affects them too. Some of this research is specifically on "cross sex" hormones and is probably more directly applicable to the trans community, but it also likely has broader implications on the science of hormones and side effects for everyone regardless of if they're cis or trans. This is one of several reasons why we say trans rights are human rights.
It's more a legally gray area in the US that as far as I can find from a quick search has never been settled in court. It likely isn't worth the time for police to go after either even if it was more explicitly illegal.
That might change if there's a sudden surge in people drawing on $100 bills, but who uses $100s that often anyway? Most ATMs I used only dispense $20s. It often isn't worth the trip to the bank, and the US is unfortunately mostly cashless now.
But to be clear: fuck this fascist bullshit and resist in whatever ways you can

Tomorrow I am starting a daily multi-hour protest in front of my GOP representative’s office in NYC.
It isn't Friday, but always a good reminder:
Volume changes based on temperature and pressure. So when we reference volume measurements like for flow rates, we typically do the math to adjust those to standard temperature and pressure. Standard pressure is 1 atm but standard temperature varies based on who you're talking to because of competing standards. It's usually 25 C or 20 C.
When we want to reference the non temperature and pressure corrected volume, we append actual to it so that people know what the measurement is. Some people don't do that and that causes confusion for others using their work if the reading is standard or actual.
Yep, we need broad sweeping data privacy laws and audits in every country for all software. Not just fear mongering over other country's software.
Have you ever tried to not eat in front of people ever? Turns out it's pretty hard to do. Sometimes, if you're nice to people, you get invited to go out to eat to a place. Often those places have no vegan options, and you have to explain why you can't eat there so people don't just think you're blowing them off constantly. We don't just go around telling everyone we're vegan like all the hate memes like to say.
Most vegans I've met, myself included, don't pick fights with people about veganism. We just live by example. It'd be cool if more people went vegan, but arguing with people about doing it doesn't help. Doing that is like trying to push religion on people or make people experience empathy. It isn't easy to go vegan (getting easier at least). Food is tied to a lot of people's culture who have a hard time relearning how to cook/eat and make generational recipes or comfort foods they've always eaten.
Her twitter is mostly about trans people instead of HP too. She could have just kept quiet and kept having her PR team sweep all the transphobic tweets she was liking under the rug like they did early on before she went full mask off. But no, she wants to get rid of all the queer people and is actively working to try to make that happen.
