@apophis ahhhh. yeah. my mother had raised some orphans from africa before she had me and they have non-traditional (by america’s standards) names, and she’s told me how much of a headache getting them registered for things like driver’s licenses was.
@AppleAmps it takes five years and a half-dozen people to make 50 little games that are fun :)
@detondev tbh, this makes em think about how i discovered my transness. like. i’m not entirely certain! but i do remember finding egg irl through a discord meme, going onto the subreddit, identifying(? there’s a better word here, something like identifying and harmonizing. i know the word, i can feel the word, but i cannot spell or pronounce the word right now) with the notion of wanting to be a woman, not just being jealous of the beautiful, perfect bodies i saw on the tv, but envious of them, but also deciding that i wanted to reject the obvious willful ignorance displayed not just in the memes of the subreddit, but in the actual users. anyways, after a few days to weeks of consideration, i decided that i was trans, and i’ve only been getting more self-assure of this fact since. is this a disembodied experience of trans identity? what makes a trans experience disconnected from reality?
Libraries matter. Access matters.
After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember.

rockstar is the south park of video games and that is extremely not a compliment
Today, I've gotten to the point where I think it's sufficient to make a first release of my protomojis! I have made 110 unique expressions for 3 bases, making for a total of 330 emoji! Perfect for more custom emojis on fedi or whatever else you might want them for. This was the other thing I wanted to release today btw
