Where do you buy ones that definitely work? Even Amazon mostly has knockoffs for a lot of these and I don’t have the money to put into unknown quantities. The few stores around that sell physical media sell movies or anime and not much else

This is my favorite song of his. Fun to dance to and the theme for every millennial who was told “you can do anything if you work hard enough”

Nobody is releasing DVDs. Nothing is in syndication. You can only watch this stuff with the monthly fee and no other way

I have to listen to the song done more because there’s the past I could play for you and you’d say “that’s September” and then there’s a wild alien part that sounds like aliens

It’s wild especially when I know plenty of cis women who are normal and happy with their lives (largely women who are not giving a fuck about what patriarchy is telling them to be, seems like it might be a connection…)

I’m an old millennial whose peers were treated much more like gen x, while I had a constantly-worried mother and it was both suffocating and prevented me from actually learning to watch out for myself! Not great

I think something that doesn’t get talked about a lot in trans experience is the trauma of having been betrayed by your body in puberty, becoming detached from it and eventually loathing it, then slowly finding your way back
