One of the greatest lies a writer can tell themselves is that they will remember the idea that they came up with while they were half asleep, so they don’t need to write it down right away.

Fuckkkk my frame might just be too masculine for cute dresses :(
yeah so a baggy top like a sweater and a skirt on the bottom works way better and hides my broad chest and shoulders....wish I could rock a dress but sadly I cannot.......yet.
@is-bi-engineer-guy-a-girl-yet @track-maniac so like. I could use advice on this one. Does that make sense. And do you have any advice for outfits that do this other than the shirt/top tucked into skirt I've been rocking for years atp
Unfortunately all i have is my skirt. i've been interested in girly clothes for like 3 months, i haven't had time to try anything yet.
maybe @soapsquare @cloudberry-candy or any other moot can help?
women's clothing sizing is evil; I'd recommend going to a thrift store and just like trying on a million dresses until you find one that fits you in a way you like. also if you wanna go all-in you can buy breast forms
Especially don't trust dress sizes without trying (same for bras tbh).
Also sundresses are pretty & very nice to wear (especially with spring just around the corner)
yep, it's a sundress my roommate picked up for me from a trans clothing swap on my campus. Maybe I just have confidence issues idk I'll see what he thinks but I definitely think the other technique fits better
I'll be honest, this does not look like a very masculine frame to me, but I also know that I tend to judge my own body in the same way.
ig just the brain being an idiot :/
Well yes that is the point of the clothing :3
Idk maybe it's not as bad as I thought but still idk idk anyway this is how it looks when I just throw it on in my room real quick to try it on it's alright I need someone to tie the back for me tho lol I'll get better pics some other time
Ooooh that looks amazing!! i personally tend to look for dresses with short, loose sleeves because it hides the profile of your shoulders well. I'll post some pics below the cut :3
also yesss layers, if you want a more casual vibe you could also just wear a (slightly cropped?) sweater over the dress and it'll give the vibe of a nice and summery skirt.
OMG YEA THATS THE KIND IM LOOKING DOR WHATS IT CALLED

fuck i don't wanna post about politics but its scaring the absolute shit out of me the story of the guy from Maryland with no criminal record who was accidentally sent to an El Salvador mega-prison where inmates are beaten, tortured, and dont have proper hygiene or medical care
like this guy had NO TRIAL OR ANYTHING they just fucking kidnapped him off the street and sent him to a foreign torture prison
El salvador has tens of thousands of people in prison and the leader brags about how horrible conditions are in there. Hundreds of people have died in El Salvador prisons according to the second link up there.
And what's more, the guy originally ran away from Venezuela because there were gangs trying to kill him.
And it sounds like there's other people been sent there too and the republicans are defending sending people to foreign torture prison WITHOUT TRIAL??? And Kristi "puppy-shooter" Noem visited the megaprison to film and show off the inmates' dehumanization and misery
in the first few pages you'll see they have a "guide" on how to recognize gang members and it's total bullshit. They have a gallery of tattoos that are supposedly "gang tattoos" but they legitimately just regular tattoos that anyone could have.
and they're like "members of the gang are usually young men 18-25 who wear clothes associated with sports teams"
i read article about it and some dipshit had commented "don't you get it? We DON'T CARE if illegals get sent to prison or what happens to them. They're rapist murdering terrorist thugs. We DON'T CARE. We DON'T CARE."
That was when I felt the most horrible sense of dread. The display of cruelty and dominance in Kristi Noem's videos, the luxuriation in humiliating and dehumanizing another person.
It reminded me of when my mom showed me a clip from Tucker Carlson speaking, saying "Watch this. I know this sounds crazy, but I almost think he has some sort of demon in him." Tucker Carlson was describing a metaphor of Trump as an angry father coming home to his disobedient teenage daughter to beat her. "This is going to hurt you way more than it hurts me!" Tucker Carlson said in the clip, with pure satisfaction and glee. He was experiencing such gratification by this fantasy of humiliating, dominating, and causing pain to someone else, and this fantasy was his political ideal. It really was just like looking a demon square in the face.
A political ideal of domination. Of inflicting pain. Of punishing and hurting and crushing. A politics that craves to see other people suffering and humiliated and treated as lower than shit. And I think the pleasure they take in that feels to them sort of golden, like justice.
We can't let this thing live in us.
Like I keep thinking of that quote that went around a couple times that talked about the author hearing the statement "Punishment is reinforcing to the punisher." and instantly feeling this pit of dread open in their stomach with its truth and how dark and horrible that truth was. I wish I could find it again because it had the same effect on me.
To me, the most chilling thing about this whole thing has been that a federal judge ordered the man brought back to the US and the administration's response was "as a judge you don't have jurisdiction over El Salvador so it's not our problem". The Supreme Court just ruled within the last hour or so that this is bullshit and they do have to get him back, but it remains to be seen what, if anything, the administration is going to do to comply with this.
Also! If they can get away with accidentally sending someone legally allowed to be in the US to El Salvador, they can "accidentally" send anyone to El Salvador! They can send protestors, they can send LGBT people, they can send someone who gets a little snippy with their city council rep complaining about an ordinance!
It's fucking terrifying.
I'm trying not to be like "They're gonna deport CITIZENS next!" because it's bad enough that they sent this guy to torture prison based on lies without a trial, whether he was a citizen or not. He's just a guy and we're just guys and we're all vermin to a fascist administration.
But there is nothing stopping them from disappearing whoever they want if they can get away with this. Plus they're literally deporting refugees that went through rigorous screening and were legally allowed to be here. They're revoking student visas. They're not checking to make sure it's legal before they're disappearing people. Why the hell would a citizen be any different?
news article from USA today describing the horrors happening in ICE detention as well. I'm not making a one-to-one comparison, but it's so reminiscent of Holocaust memoirs i've had to read. They literally have people in chains, urinating and defecating on the floor in front of everyone.
Hatred and fear of immigrants is like a cancer and we're stage 4. We're already sliding down into Hell. How did we let it go on this long? How did we let it get this bad? I know, I know the answers to those questions. But when have I overheard someone make a racist remark and not confronted them? I should have made a scene.
I should have been louder about it, anyhow, even without prompting. These people coming across the border have just as much of a right to be here as any of the white racists who want them gone, if not more.
"They're coming here to have kids so the kids will be citizens!" What, and you wouldn't be bothered to cross a border so your kid can have a good life? Sounds like these "illegals" are better parents than you. Coward. "They're taking our jobs!" What, you been up there on a 140 degrees Fahrenheit roof with a nailgun all day every day? 12 hours shifts picking vegetables in high summer? Sounds like these "illegals" work harder than you too.

hey real quick, i just wanna say you don’t need to be friends with a republican. i have no idea why the current political standard to be taken seriously is to look at “all sides” and have republican(even maga) friends. the other side wants people like me to die. there is no need to entertain it as if it was something like “do you pour the milk or the cereal first”

Even if we're not going to see a dismantling of the system or liberation for actively colonized people in our lifetime, we need to be moving like we are. Yall love to bring up the Panthers and the Black Power movement, but they moved that way BECAUSE they thought they were going to see an end to the system in their lifetimes, and even after COINTELPRO and the "death of socialism", they still moved like their children or grandchildren would see that world. I think we get too bogged down in being "realistic" because Neoliberalism makes it so we can't imagine a world without it. We have to think bigger.
