@evan HAPPY BIRTHDAY
EAT A WHOLE CAKE IF YOU WANT

@evan I was imagining much smaller things, I think. But it doesn't matter, because as previously established, there is no limit to the number of things I can carry. #grindset

Hey, thin trans woman who wants more boobs. I'm transmasc, but as someone who didn't get much bust until I was in my mid 20s for this reason: you have to eat for them to grow. Same with butt/hips/thighs. Gaining weight where you want it means you have to gain at least a little weight to begin with.

@evan Sure, but "talking about trauma always (or almost always) helps" is a thing people think.

@evan Usually, it's at least a step, although I can think of counterexamples. For instance, talking about trauma prematurely or in too much detail can exacerbate PTSD in some people (this is one of the advantages of EMDR, a therapy that doesn't require recounting traumatic events beyond a vague indication of what memory is being addressed).

Someone reassure me that one day there will be a night that won't be cloudy, and I will go outside and look at the sky and say "wowwww" like I've never seen it before.

@evan Almost always, because I have Can't Shut Up Disease.

I feel like I'm forgetting something important.

@evan I'm curious about how many people in Uruguay specifically would be interested. I'm not in a position to start a meetup right now (both with my level of Spanish and my finances), but I wonder how many Uruguayan people are even here.

@evan Man, I'm not even sure what my values with respect to AI are.

I am not good at this game.

Ok, time to get good at Celeste because I'm in terrible dental pain.

They're calling me the best to ever do it.

@evan Oh, huh, interesting!
Side note: I always find the results for the polls with factual answers interesting, but I get really nervous about answering them because I might be wrong.

@evan So it really comes down to what you mean by "a racist person". If you mean "a person with racist ideas and biases", that's everyone.

@evan There are also people who are proudly racist, as well as many people who are so resistant to examining their own racism that they can't be anti-racist (at least, not until they change that about themselves).

@evan Yes and no. It's often useful to say "Hey, what you just said was racist" instead of making the conversation about whether the PERSON is racist. That said, people say racist things because of racist biases, and while it's certainly possible to be anti-racist, I'm not sure if it's really possible to not be racist at all in a racist society. But you can be racist and make non-racist statements, which I guess makes the fact that there's a difference trivial, if you want to be pedantic.

@evan (I hope this is coherent. I have a migraine.)

@evan (And no, I don't just mean "all white people", because internalised racism is also very much a thing, although it's obviously different.)

You shouldn't give babies clove oil, but then again, you shouldn't give babies heroin either. They were trying a lot of stuff in Victorian times.
