Yeah some of them. I speak 4 languages fluently and can't get a job, it's ridiculous. I've honestly been considering going to medical trials just to be able to make rent.

Bugger. Bugger. Bugger.

What's next? Another breath, followed by another one, then another, and another, and keep on breathing until I can find a solution.

My rants are getting tamer as my apathy grows. I'm meant to be filling out important adult forms and organising myself but I don't wanna.

I'd rather spend the indefinite future waffling and taking fake umbrage on Gnet

Hey jerk in my general vicinity, I should not have to explain why yelling "white power" isn't funny, isn't a joke and isn't even remotely acceptable behavior for decent human fucking beings. And guess what motherfucker, just because you "dated a black girl" once doesn't give you license to be an ignorant, racist, dickface, asshole, piece of shit. While we're at it can we not yell f****t at each other constantly, for fucks sake that's triggering as fuck for plenty of people, as they've been terrorized with it plenty regardless of their sexual orientation. Maybe at some point we could quit body-shaming the ladies in our group, why do you even give a fuck what she looks like, she's not here to fuck you, so why do you pick her appearance apart like it matters, seriously? Why do I have to explain basic human decency to you motherfuckers while you roll your eyes at me, sorry for having tits and something to say *eyeroll*. What the fuck happened to basic fucking empathy? Seriously. Gaaaagh! /end rant

Been getting out more, meeting new people... I still prefer the company of my cats.

I know the feeling Ape. Sexist, bigoted assholes like that make me wish I could own a cabin in the woods with wi-fi and a couple of pitbull terriers.

Goddamn mosquito bites that won't go away...

Realising that a lot of the feminist theory I've read tends to be 'radical' and in a lot of ways isn't ideal. Trying to get my head around cissexist language but have been told that terms I thought were ok ('female bodied' when referring to someone with a uterus or assigned female at birth) aren't. This matters to the people I talk with.

So it seems I have a lot of reading ahead of me, and also sifting which resources are ok and which will make me sound like a jerk. It's harder because I know that people affected aren't obliged to educate me and it can be poor form to ask.

BB Let's go, the pitbulls shall keep us warm at night, whilst the cats stand watch.

Acharis - Plenty of different folks use different language to talk about their trans* status. I have a friend who uses the term "(insert gender) assigned at birth" (faab or maab) for short, she's kinda old-school though she came out while there was very little info available about gender identity stuff. I know some peeps who use m to f or f to m. When denoting one's trans status is necessary to the conversation I usually go for trans man or trans woman, as they focus on one's actual gender identity.

Terms like male-bodied or female-bodied are problematic, assumes that a whole body is either male or female, which IMO is a pretty ridiculous concept due to all the complex factors that go into "biological sex" anyway.

That's all I have for now, haven't had coffee yet.

Reading radical theory by trans and non-binary folk is a great start, I can see if I can put a list together for you later if you want.

I've found that talking to my friends helps a *lot*.. and I think that they help me because I don't shit around when I'm called out on something that I do wrong, and they see me making constant efforts to educate myself.

When I'm on the other side of the coin, I know that I have a lot of patience in dealing with people who ask for help because they want to learn and not because they want to be taught.

Thanks Ape, Saya, and Aby. Those resources would be worth a look.

I haven't bought into the TERF stuff so that's good. But I have made mistakes and while unintentional, I know they were rather shitty. (Accidental misgender, shared an article without remembering there was a transphobic bit.)

Stupid people...

Those people who just...stare at you are expected. but the ones who follow you while staring look as if they have just been hit in the head with a hammer and are currently devoid of anything intelligent to say.

It's really annoying/awkward to buy a drink only to turn around and have someone openly gawking at you. when I asked if I could help them they said "Do you know you look like a vampire?" idiots...

On the edge of the Rockies, so we can watch the sun come up in the mornings

Azrath, you should give them sarcastic remarks in reply. Such as, "I look like a vampire? Damn, I was hoping to look like (insert random celebrity name)"

Running away with BB to the mountains is making me jealous.... I'd love to be a hermit in the mountains.

I'm really over this. 12 weeks with no income. Job market has dried up. Bloody rotten govt talking about no more jobs.

Going to remain positive though, because being negative isn't an option - only hurts me and those around me. So I shall be moving onwards and upwards, and biting my tongue when I want to tell people to get the fuck out of my face about my new business ventures.

Fruity and Ape, I'm sooo not the guy you ladies envision. I'm an olive skined, angry, half Hispanic angry FTW kinda guy. If anything, judging from my local lady friends, I'm the kind of guy your sweet mums warned you about

Go oooon... *wicked grin*

I'm not a soft spoken, delicate, willowy lady in a corset. I'm a pasty, temperamental harpy with a mohawk, horrible fashion sense and a terrible potty-mouth who wrangles cats. You will need someone to chase off the bears. I take after my "sweet mum", she wrangles humans (she is one of the few people I'm truly terrified of).

I got a thing for dark and handsome (well any tone and handsome, or not so handsome, hell, as long as we get along who gives a shit?).

Knowing what you know, you still ok with flirting and planning our imaginary futures together?

BB - so you too have a pair of cranky pants that you put on each and every day?

I'll let you and Ape have the flirtation. I'll just come over to sit on the porch and have a cup of tea, and discuss my chickens. then once I've consumed all your tea, I'll have to find new friends.. (such a fickle friend I am)
