I would read stories and look at pictures of penises turning into vaginas and men turning into women and it would fill me with longing, yearning, and despair at my circumstances. then, I transitioned, got SRS, and now I don't get aroused at the thought of such things. It's just part of who I am. I used to be aroused at the thought of wearing diapers. I would read stories and play games of people being cursed by witches to pee their pants, or people who were stuck at a movie theater and couldn't make it in time or whatever. These things would fill me with longing, yearning, and despair. Plus, I had some medical issues that made me lose track of my... um, "currently utilized waste storage capacity" inside my body. which put me in some unfortunate situations right around the time when my sexuality was developing. Now, I wear diapers all the time. I don't get aroused at the thought of such things anymore. It's just me, as I am. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────┴───────────┘ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── -> file: fediverse/4530 ┌────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-mentioned-gcu │ └────────────────────────────┘ Problem: there are trans people and leftists and people of color and plenty of others who live in red areas who fear for their lives how do we help them? They need to be given the tools to escape those conditions However, many of them are poor. They lack the resources to escape, even if they had the tools. These are who I think of the most, for they have the least to leave behind. A solution: what if we got a bunch of people together and drove around to every red place we could find and invited them along? We could pay for their food and gas, and potentially save their lives. I think it would help if we could stick together. Not only would we have time to spend together learning and having fun, but also we could practice supplying a large group of people traveling across large distances. In terms of people, we'd need some to drive, and some to stay home and supply resources like dollars or... other things. I'm thinking 2-3 staying at home but potentially as many as 10 per driver. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────┴───────────┘ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────── -> file: fediverse/5819 ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: spirituality-mentioned-seance-or-however-it's-spelled-material │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ totemic spirits cohabirtating with corporations in a modern day telling of american gods ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── -> file: fediverse/5972 nobody wants to read a whole bible. that sucks. what if these cool guys read it to us. omg he's so hot. oh, right. well... make them old and stuffy? not a chance, they're boring.
