LGBTAitP #28: Come Taste the Rainbow!

[Mina Kobold]

Oh! I've been meaning to ask! Anyone planning any rainbowy Hallowe'en costumes?

I wish I had something, but we rarely ever celebrate the harvest festival/Samhain/All Hallows' Eve in Denmark. Children do, but we already have a dressing-up holiday (Fastelavn) and Hallowe'en never caught on with adults.

Although, I do have a vampire coat. Perhaps I could tie-dye it in rainbow colours! That would most certainly be scary. :3

Guys, I need a hug.

So, I just went to a dark place in my memories, between (interestingly enough) Khaos Komix and a conversation with Serps on facebook. (No blame to you Serpentine, I love you and I chose to go there). Anyway, I'm revisiting all my history of abuse and dysfunction in my mind, and I'm just stuck thinking that I'll never be comfortable with or understand my own sexuality. I don't know where I'm coming from, I don't know why one day something or someone can be so attractive and the next day thinking of the same thing will find me feeling so bad.

I'm glad I got to spend time with my girlfriend though. She's snuggly and wonderful.

*HUGS*

That is terrible. Not being able to understand a part of yourself is horrifying. ;_;

I hope things get better, you two are adorable and deserve to be happy.

[Heliomance]

This is rather interesting. It's a look at how we perceive gender subconsciously, that actually arose by accident.

Oh, alright. However, if I make this concession, the next dwarf planet we find in our solar system, we get to call it Tyrion. I know Socratov would be in favour of this idea.

I'm not making any concession, Pluto's a planet. I'm too much of a fan of I'm Your Moon. Which is a good song by the way, its like this love song from Charon to Pluto.

[The Succubus]

=O

Another JoCo fan! ^_^ I love "I'm Your Moon" as well. It's such a sweet song, like the musical equivalent of a hug. "Creepy Doll" is another goodie but my favourite is "RE: Your Brains".

[Kindablue]

Neptune was, quite literally, "I don't feel like mars, I don't feel like Venus, what's left? Neptune?"

I wonder what a trans-Neptunian object would be in this context...

[Coidzor]

I wonder what a trans-Neptunian object would be in this context...

My knee-jerk, off the cuff, wossname thinking favors either someone on the other side of genderqueer or someone who went from genderqueer to something involving the binary.

Maybe something like what Heliomance has going on(I'm...not really sure how to phrase it any better than that atm, sorry x.x), but not necessarily on the same axes/axis.

As for my favorite….thats hard….I think its somewhere between The Future Soon and Chiron Beta Prime. But RE: Your Brains is quite good too. The strange thing about JoCo is that all his songs are good, so its hard to pick favorites.

[Asta Kask]

What? No! That's horrible! You're horrible¹! First Pluto gets tricked into losing the good domain by Jupiter, and now he's not even really a proper Sphere of the heavenly vault? Death god can't catch a break!

Seriously though, why is Pluto not a planet? Jupiter is a planet, and it's not even solid. Is this because of his gravity well? Well I say nay! Down with astronomical bullies! No spot just because you're huge and scary and have that one googly eye!

Because Pluto has not cleared out its neighborhood.

The link goes to the first Astronomy Cast podcast episode, and I can highly recommend other episodes as well.

I'm very depressed right now, for a couple of reasons, one of which I can't talk to you all about.

I had a bad bout of dysphoria last night and today. I hate my body...


~Phoenix~

[Asta Kask]

I know what it's like being depressed. PM me if you want to talk about it.

[Lentrax]

Oh Phee. I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do?
Either way.
*hugs*

Try to see it like this: some people keep pigs as house pets. Certain religious groups think pigs are unclean and people should avoid contact with them. Certain animal activist groups think keeping animals as pets in general is wrong. In the "Thread for the exchange of tips on how to keep your pet pig happy and funny anecdotes about keeping a pig in your home", the religious and political angle of keeping pigs as pets would not be discussed, as the only people posting there would be pig enthousiasts. Hence, the thread would not violate posting rules.

I'm so Sorry Phoenix!! *hugs* Let us know if there is anything we may be able to do.

I hope things improve. If I can help in any way, feel free to ask. Until then, I will keep hugging and comfort.

Yar, it seems to be doing the rounds. I've been feeling really dysphoric myself the last week. :s

Seconding Golly in that my pm box is always open if you want to talk.

[Absol197]

Thanks for all the support, guys. *Hugs you all; at the same time!*

Like I mentioned before, my sysphoria usually just sits in the back of my mind like a dull ache, so when it flares up like this, it really throws me for a loop...

The other thing, which is at least somewhat related, is being depressed about politics (which, as recent discussions have made quite clear, I can't discuss here ), and my future as trans (and some other things) in relation there-to.

[Lady Serpentine]

*Hugs Phoenix and Lena*

I can't really offer more than that, but... You have my sympathies. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

[Zorg]

Sorry to hear that, Phoenix *hugs* and *hugs* for Astrella too

Dysphoria sucks, plain and simple - hopefully now you're out at home you'll be able to do a few things to manage it a little soon Second point gets to me too (and us all I'm sure).

[bluewind95]

, and my future as trans (and some other things) in relation there-to.

I think all of us here are at least trying to contribute our grain of sand to ensure a better future in that regard. From trying to educate and dissuade bigots, to just making non-bigot people who are uncomfortable with the topic due to lack of knowledge a little more used to the idea, I'm sure doing what I can. More resourceful people are doing more, too.

We need a vaccine of some sort.

[Lentrax]

Hey all, I'm heading off to bed soon. I just want to say that you are all awesome, beautiful people. I wish I knew some of you in RL.

Sweet dreams to all.

*hugs for everyone*

[Lycunadari]

*hugs for Zorg, Golly, Lena, Phoenix and everyone else who wants or needs them*

Oh, alright. However, if I make this concession, the next dwarf planet we find in our solar system, we get to call it Tyrion. I know Socratov would be in favour of this idea.

A dwarf planet called Tyrion would be *so* cool.
For Pluto-lovers, may I advise the book "How I killed Pluto and why it had it coming" by Mike Brown? I have only started reading it (got it as a birthday present from my father, who is an astronomer, and knows that I was always on the Pluto-as-planet-side), and I think it could be able to change my mind.

[Lix Lorn]

We need a vaccine of some sort.

Pretty sure it's called 'Hugs', but sadly it can't be shipped internationally, or digitally.

ALL THE HUGZ!!!!!!!!

[Mono Vertigo]

What? What is this travesty? Why are we even questioning this?
PLUTO IS A PLANET.
[Within two hours, this thread will fall victim to an international flame war on the status of a celestial body most of us can't even see.] Disclaimer: I'm not actually trying to start an international flame war. This is a joke. I'm not getting anywhere near the other current debate.

So, I was told more people needed hugs? Here there be hugs!
Hopefully, they have anti-dysphoric properties, somehow.
*HUGS*
