i definitely know that you are a transgender woman, kate! i admire and enjoy your posts and i always learn something from them.― scott seward
― scott seward
i was kind of self-deprecating a little with that, which i try not to do overall. i guess technically me talking about my lived experience is a form of political activism, but from my perspective i'm an autistic girl who never shuts up about her special interest
speaking of which i saw another funny bumper sticker today
"my puppygirl can beat up your honor student"
-
anyway, 13,668 messages. sounds about right. i don't know how long i've been here, though, and i'm not sure how to find out.
do ilx beefs have beef detectives? i think "beef detective" sounds like a fun job title. i wouldn't want to be one, though.
what i like about ilx is that i can find people my age here. i was at transfem brunch today and i told someone i was 48 and asked "how old do you think i am?", and she said she thought i was older. she's pretty young and also extremely autistic, like, clearly doesn't get social cues. when we were outside after the brunch i asked her about a youtube channel she followed that i'd never heard of and she asked me if i'd seen a certain meme from the channel, and acted out the meme very loudly and enthusiastically. it was a bit about shadow the hedgehog that sounded like something lenny bruce would say about shadow the hedgehog. a lot of stuff about shadow the hedgehog's cock. i'm not really embarrassed about stuff like that but my qpp, who was there with me, was. for the record, i haven't seen that particular meme, even though i've seen a fair number of memes.
anyway sometimes people will say things here that i can't relate to at all, but y'all can talk to a part of my life that i don't have much opportunity to socially express elsewhere. it's this or facebook, and honestly, whatever beefs people here have, ilx isn't built on systematically monetizing the cycle of abuse. i like being here. it's kind of a wistful experience, because it does get smaller year by year. i'm very aware of the impermanence of this place. i value it a lot now, though, value the people here now.

hey scott, this is all on me - turns out it was all in my head. i'm sorry for saying it. it wasn't warranted at all and not at all true. if anything i'm happy to have this fiction dispelled by seeing responses of other queer and gay ppl here. i truly love reading your posts and i'm glad you're back here posting. i kinda don't want to go back into that thread and read everything at this point so i may not be addressing everything, but basically i was wrong and i'm sorry.― he/him hoo-hah (map)

fwiw i totally get how you got that conclusion. people are always finding all kinds of ways of disingenuous and nasty ways to be hostile to queer people, ways that aren't necessarily obvious to most folks. it's hard for me to know when somebody's doing that or when i'm reading too much into things. if you do read this, i think highly of you and i really like how you acknowledged and took responsibility for your unintentional mistake. that's really fucking hard to do.
― Kate (rushomancy), Sunday, 12 May 2024 20:55 (two weeks ago) link
as far as thinking the joke was hostile, i have a long history here of reading hostility into interactions that just isn't there. i'm getting better about understanding that actual hostility here is very rare and posting accordingly. i hedged in that post which should have been a sign that i wasn't responding in the best way. anyway, i think i've changed pretty substantially in a good way--i know by increased good feeling i get from others here. i'm grateful to have this place as somewhere i can feel comfortable and learn a lot from. ya'll are very kind and fascinating in the best sense.
xp thanks kate!

I've just crossed 30K this past week. Was always a little curious if that counts my whole 21 years here, or did it get zeroed during the big site reset of the late '00s?

If that's indeed my actual total, I assume it was goosed significantly by running four ILM artist polls, two different decade film polls on ILE, plus many posts on the Eagles listening thread and the CVS obscure singles thread.

posting 57,323 messages works out to like seven per day over 21+ years, which is rather more than i'd have thought. apologies
