there is an art to being agender, or rather a knack. the knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at gender and miss

I have a lot of feelings about gender. most of them are stuff like “nope” and [incoherent screaming].

belated post

hi, I’m aster! pronouns: they or he, neutral neopronouns like ey/em/eir are also cool!

I’ve been on the fediverse for > 1 year, but I recently decided to rebrand/switch instances, so here I am

I’m a physics grad student doing research related to climate science; I rant about this and related topics sometimes

mostly, though, I make jokes which occasionally manage to be somewhat funny, and I sometimes post sketches. also, birds. I’m lowkey a bird!

anyway, hello!

Did I know *anything* about Ghana's covid response before I read that article in my last boost? No, I did not, but I should have known because they did an amazing job, so here you go:

the aforementioned big rant typeset in comic sans ended up being 1300 words long

feels like all my energy went into that, now I just want to sleep zzzzzzz

hot take: the people who say that comic sans is very readable are right

homestuck fandom, homophobia/transphobia ment 

the part of the homestuck fandom that's made up of lowkey homophobic/transphobic cis straight men bewilders me

ugh why do I bother with reddit at all

[sobbing mathematically]  

the cis should start expressing their gender without gendered terms. as a bit and as an exercise in gender exploration. I think they'd just be a lot more chill if they felt comfortable describing their gender as a hard rock album at sunset after a really sweaty run.

homestuck, fanfic 

so there's that one part in homestuck where jane looks at a pony pals book dirk gave her where he wrote over parts of it to make it more interesting/funnier and we see a few pages

and someone went and wrote a fanfic where they continue this for the entire book and they get the tone right and everything and I'm v impressed archiveofourown.org/works/2427

(haven't read the whole thing yet but there's a whole rant about the philosophy of longcat, it's wild)

something really satisfying and reassuring to me is seeing really insecure trans people who were really cagey with their self expression slowly relax and get way more chill about gender in general as they transition

list of bad ways to respond to mh shit, 1/? 

ok here's a list of common (shitty) ways people respond to mh stuff and how they actual affect the person in question:

what you say: you aren't bad!! (you aren't broken, you're such a good person, etc)
things they will hear:
-i've tricked you into thinking i'm good, making me worse
-so there's no reason for me to be feeling this bad stuff??
-you aren't listening to me (i just explained how i did bad stuff)
