I grew up speaking Japanese. I know this already.

I’m choosing to believe that rather than explaining my own language back to me, that you’ve made that comment for the sake of audience notes, so people who don’t speak Japanese can follow along from the comfort of their own toilets.

Otherwise it’s kinda cringe.

I just do in English what I’d do in Japanese: see turtle? If feets, land turtle. If flippers, sea turtle.

I don’t seem to ever get corrected, chewed out, or bitched at when I call the animal with shell and legs a turtle, and I talk about turtles a lot. More than you’d ever know.

True, in British English! American English doesn’t differentiate.

Thanks for explaining yours.

(And man, I hate it when other people validate that I’m in deep shit. Makes it real, you know?)

Yeah, there’s enough content on Lemmy to see everything in a half hour and then get on with the day. I like that.

The algorithm is set to “here’s everything except what you blocked.”

It’s quite good. A tight cast of exactly three characters who also play the instruments needed for the songs. Very queer, overt trans themes, and it was quite relatable to me!

I saw Lizard Boy at Portland Center Stage a couple times last week. Once with a friend who saw six showings in a row, and once with her and my wife soon after. Was quite good.

Two people hit it with a downvote.

I have no idea what the downvotes are trying to communicate.

• ”that’s right, tranny, we’re coming for you”
• ”this content doesn’t improve Lemmy“
• ”trans people aren’t discriminated against”

Or something else entirely that I can’t articulate.

Whatever the reasons for the downvotes people have left, my feelings are true and I feel them.

Being murdered for being trans while living in Oregon. It shouldn’t happen, but it’s not impossible.

Not impossible though. Two in January, two in November.

Thanks!

I’m the leader of antifa.

You don’t know me.

Just cause you’re right this once.

And yet, going to a remote corner of the planet, lying down on the ground, and taking it all in, forms the basis for most of our mythology and dreams.
