"F-T-F trans"

Who coined this term again? Was it Freia @moonbeamdreams, Inez Stepman or someone else?

Anyway, it's got to be one of the pithiest descriptors of an archetype we will all (unfortunately), be forced to deal with more and more as the scene becomes big enough to attract them.

good question. i think "male to male trans" archetype, referring to musclehead andrew tate types, maybe came first?

I remember Mary Harrington making the joke of a MtM trans on a video of a guy getting his legs broken, extended, and learning to walk again

Unrelated question: Is there a "parallel-Wikipedia," or "parallel-Wikimedia." Many Substackers will link to Wikipedia when tangentially touching a subject or event, to allow the reader easy access to a summary of information. But as it isn't expressly right-wing, the moderation will (if not already) be curated by left-wingers. Couple with automated moderation through bots, and the threat that DIE-chatbots have on teaching, it seems apt to have an online compendium of knowledge safeguarded.

A more accessible tactic would be to link to non-Amazon booksellers (Thriftbooks, publishing house)

"laughlyn (johan eddebo) thinks the coming flood of AI-generated content will destroy academic publishing."

Here's the neat thing, I don't give a fuck. I think because laughlyn is European, he still thinks the universities can be saved. Over here in America, it's clear we need to let them sink into their own cesspool.

Also, "This man just came up to me and said 'chaos reigns!' before walking away" made me spit my tea out on the keyboard.

The reason you should tread with caution around tomboys is that often times women who act like men in one department are also like men in other departments (ex: promiscuity). Obviously we all wish women liked the stuff we like but if they act a lot like men in general then there could be something wrong is all I'm saying.

I did laugh at that guy though who said the people calling liking that girl gay were from the "sodatic belt". Made me laugh.

appreciate the work you do but please don't include swengdad in these things. he's not of the "new right" and that tweet wasn't even particularly good.

“Every monster has a weakness that makes them hiss and recoil in fear and pain. For the joumalists that weakness is the truth spoken in plain language.”

The journalist is immunised against all dangers: One may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call a murderer an illegal and you will be astonished at how the journalist recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: "I’ve been found out".
