So this link takes you to twitter and then links on to FB, but if you can handle that, the #Transgender Benevolence Foundation is a brand new voluntary org a few good friends of mine (and I) are working on setting up. Physically based in #Newcastle, #UK; I’d love to get a regular tweetchat and possibly a podcast on the go.
Link below leads you to an update about our first real-world social meetup, for #TDoR ... 😀✨🏳️🌈

I have been informed there’s been a massive influx of #newbie people and that seems like a good time to remember mastodon exists ...?
I… haven’t been here in a while.
I've followed all the advocates for transgender rights I could find on mastodon. Recommendations?
You've recently begun an internship a small, trendy startup. On your first day you are surprised to discover that the startup is just a front for a supervillian's lair, and you've been assigned to the doomsday division.

If you are reading this, you have survived your entire life up until this point. You have survived traumas, heartbreak, devastation, the different phases of life, maybe even depression. And here you are, you go. Gosh, you are awesome.
By "Mastodon is dead" they mean it's full of vampires. Clearly. *fanged grin*
What’s with the latest wave of “Mastodon is dead” nonsense? Is there an article somewhere I’ve missed?
One this day one year ago, Mirriam-Webster announced the addition of the English honourific Mx. to the Unabridged dictionary. Pronounced "Mix," it's a gender-neutral alternative to Mr. Ms. and Mrs.
@inmysocks I really meant to put corgi puppies there, and the intended implication was shihtzu puppies. Obviously. This being a Society of Doom and Puppies. https://hostux.social/media/07VpgcNXB--8t30qZ4o
@inmysocks As Premier Minion, however, I must ask if I could branch out and also be Chief Shihtzu Wrangler. I mean… they’re at least as cute and hilarious as puppies. And I haven’t let you down yet, now have I? A little extra responsibility can’t hurt. Oh, and I can also take on some of the admin if you like, boss. Need any MI of Doom? I got you covered.
Please go and read @inmysocks’s thread regarding the rise and so-far-continued rise of the Evil Villain Society of Doom and Puppies. I am Premier Minion of Doom and Keeper of Corgis (they’re hilarious— look at their little puppy faces—)
After a SpaceX mission, Elon Musk suddenly closes down all his businesses and disappears. Eight years later, an old Musk owned factory begins to operate again. You find a lucky golden ticket, inviting you for a tour of the factory.

By the way, I don’t think I showed you folks the incredible before-and-after of my garden.
Flowerbeds, back fence and decking by me, my wife and my in-laws (phenomenal people). Turf by a local firm I thoroughly recommend if you’re in the north-east of England.

@lex_jay was the first official member of the Evil Villain Society Of Doom and Puppies. This earned him the title 'Premiere Minion Of Doom', but it seems to be a bit of a misnomer as he was put in charge of the corgi puppies and it is hard to really be Of Doom when you can't stop laughing at the objectively funny animals.
Ok, I am bored again. So if you boost this I will talk about your place in the Evil Villain Society Of Doom and Puppies.
Because why be evil if there aren't cute puppies?
"Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."
I will escalate this by giving reasons too
#food for happiness
#birds because I just started taking care of one and because they’re beautiful
#bodies for the same reasons
#sea for love
#music to get closer to many things
#books for every possible reason
#witchery for life and because it is me and because it is all of you

it's kind of scary how wanting attention is so stigmatized in society. like some people cry, scream, or do whatever in public and they're immediately seen as an attention whore instead of a person who needs emotional support. like believe it or not when you've been emotionally neglected and abused enough from people you know, crying out for attention, even from strangers, means you're desperate and if you see someone like that you should help them rather than harass them.
