Courtney (she/her/they)

Hello lovelies, I am a (trans)Woman who is still in the process of discovering herself!

I have been working up the courage to be who I am for so long, I am excited to be figuring things out.

Pre-HRT, pre-fashion-sense, and pre-confidence.

Any and all tips and advice from more experienced women are welcome!

  • If I remember correctly, Marvel/Disney started doing this with the MCU (along with not telling some cast like tom Holland spoilers because they suck at keeping quiet), according to some of those “behind the scenes” type youtube channels (heavy spoilers, MasterTainment, Nerdstalgic, etc)

    I’ve heard Peter Jackson did this with the hobbit and George Lucas with star wars, but I don’t know how accurate those are, as I can’t even recall where I heard them. So massive tub of salt and all that…

    I’ve actually done this myself, when telling a story I’ve changed the names of some people involved, and when I inevitably heard back from someone who shouldn’t have known, I know who told them based on what name are dropped. It helped cut someone shitty out of my life but I don’t like essentially lying to and testing my friends…


  • On the one hand, being friends with people who have severe chronic illnesses, and living with someone with progressively degeneraating mobility due to chronic illness, I can say with absolute certainty that after long enough of being laid down and mostly immobile, some of them absolutely COULD jump up out of bed on excitement and manage to walk the rest of the day. They will all pay for it for a week or more but neuro divergent people don’t all have the bet impulse control.

    ON the other hand… FUCK grandpa Joe.


  • Lmao tell me you’ve never experienced cycling in any capacity outside a park or parking lot without telling me.

    Give me a fucking bike lane or shut the fuck up, I’ve been literally forced off the road every single year I’ve been cycling since 15, I have been hit by cars more times than I can count, I have been hit with things thrown by cars, I have been hit by city busses, semis, and even fucking cops.

    I wear hi vis clothing, my bike has lights front back and sides, at least one constant and one flashing in each direction. I leave 3ft between me and anything to my right, and am as far to the right as I can be without ILLEGALLY riding on the sidewalk

    Where in the ABSOLUTE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GO





  • I really think avatar should have done a little more to show life for non benders.

    We get a little bit here and there, but never really see “normal people who have to be on their toes around benders” kind of life outside of the single western lone-wanderer episode where Zuko left Iroh and was helped by an earth kingdom family, who then all turn on him when they find out he’s a fire bender for sure, claiming to be prince of the fire nation.

    Damn that is a good episode…

    But Imagine being a normal person going about your life when BAM half your house is gone because a teenager still wrangling with his abilities accidentally shot a boulder (not THE Boulder) through your front wall. Are the cops gonna do anything about it? Or are they gonna shrug and tell you they don’t have any benders on their payroll so nobody wants to risk getting sunk through the floor.
