But see, back then, they played Simpsons 3 times a day and will and grace came on after the 10pm showing so the time slot was doing a lot of work initially
The week that I finally was able to say out loud that I was trans, I binged five seasons of will and grace after not watching it for at least 10 years. Just having it on in the background was really comforting in an ineffable way and bolstered my fragile confidence.
Choosing Grace as my middle name is because its a family name. It is also because of Grace from Will and Grace. A confused early 20s Stacy could not figure out why she so desperately wished she looked exactly like that. And coming from a religious background, it helped that they weren't unhappy
There has never been a better moment in any pitch meeting than this moment
I spent so many years utterly perplexed by the breakdown I had in a similar context.
And because I saw this post in my feed I have now acquired it as well! Ws all around!
Blocked post for me.
I gotta say, @aegis.blue really works
This site is better than Twitter because I have had silly butterflies-in-the-stomach crushes on 3 different people here but I did not have that on Twitter at all
I hadn't ever seen this article before and I'm floored that this happened in current times and not the 1800s.
I never knew it was a peacock sound until I saw the peacock do it in front of me. Huge wtf moment
I think that may be it?
I tested that here and got a phantom link

@pfrazee.com I didn't find any issues in GitHub that describes this. There's a space between "done." and "is" but it's still being turned into a url inappropriately
I see these all the time. We have had a conversation about it before even but the cause for that one looked more like a space wasn't being stripped out.
But why is it making a link when the post contains no links? The content of the page in that link isn't related at all to the post content.
In the car on the way back from the theater with my friends I said, I'm so glad they left out Bombadil. Friends, doing very well at supporting me infodumping about Tolkien, say who's that?
And for the first time I had to say I didn't want to talk about it.
@pfrazee.com all my theories on how these weird phantom links are created were dashed by this one. How does this happen?
This is close to where I'm at now. No support and any setback can really set you reeling.
Picard season 1 had small amounts of good things scattered throughout every episode. Not enough sustenance to prevent starvation but if you're gonna watch it at all, season 1 was better than the other seasons.
What a weird system. Meticulous about kicking the jury out so as not to have certain conversations taken into account, very specific about what arguments are allowed, and then the jury instructions are communicated via recitations of a Norse poem that can't be put down into written form.
Didn't it take an hour and ten minutes to hear them the first time?
Tony Soprano: could just be a fucking idiot. Historically, that's been the case
So what am I? Who am I?
I dunno... how about, frequently wrong when answering this question?
It took 10 years for me to pull myself out of mormonism. Then I had to wade through the wreckage figuring out what to salvage. Who was I if not this, etc.
I had no idea there was an even bigger collapse still to come.
It's exhausting to be so wrong about so much so often.
the void of self left behind when you transition can be tempting to fill with things before you have time to fill it with self again
You're incredible and I love you and hope everything goes well 🩷
Hi, the scariest thing in the world right now personally, aside from Samara getting me in the bathtub, is having to use the bathroom in a public place.
Like, maybe going to the bathroom with Samara is actually the hot ticket. We're both ladies but now I don't have to be alone
She loved you and you loved her. What else could ever be so holy?
For he keeps the Lord's watch in the night against the adversary.
For he counteracts the powers of darkness by his electrical skin and glaring eyes.
For he counteracts the Devil, who is death, by brisking about the life.
For in his morning orisons he loves the sun and the sun loves him.
I'm no longer religious, but when I lost my cat after 13 years, I always appreciated these lines from the Jeoffrey section of Jubilate Agno:
I'm so sorry you've lost such a truly good friend and companion. She was beautiful and perfect.
You got a trans Artie Bucco meme in a manifesto. What a time to be alive
The feeling when you put drops in your ears and suddenly the liquid rushes in to fill up every part of your ear canal is the most satisfying, transcendent physical sensation possible
