Children of Time is a 2015 science fiction novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
In the distant future, humanity seeks to create new habitats for itself on distant planets, terraforming them and seeding them with life. Dr. Avrana Kern is heading one such project, orbiting the tentatively named "Kern's World", where the plan is to release monkeys 
infected with a nanovirus that will accelerate their evolution. Through an act of sabotage from an anti-technology group that has also destroyed much of Earth, the monkeys are never released, and the virus instead infects a species of spider, Portia labiata. The book follows the evolution of the spiders and their eventual civilisation, as well as a remnant of humanity that fled to Kern's World hoping to find paradise.
also children of ruin and children of memory, the sequels, are really good

I got kidnapped by a bunch of trans girls today. Was not expecting that to be how my day ended but I'm not complaining
I hope they treated you in a very ladylike manner
Every time i try to join a discord i'm too afraid to actually say anything.
Incredibly relatable
I have said many embarrassing things, so perhaps thatβs fair.
crappy day folx, I decided to switch from Windows to Fedora, and after installing it, I noticed my PC only recognizes 8 out of the 16GB of RAM that should be there? I confirmed this in the BIOS, and tried to go about fixing it by reseating the GPU and RAM (I have had a problem like this before that was fixed that way), and now I can't get it to boot at all (my theory is one of the RAM sticks was fucked and I ended up fucking up the other). Luckily I have a backup mini PC I bought last year that I intended to use as a home server but never got around to setting up. But while I was moving the old PC to storage, something sharp at the bottom of the case cut my middle finger! π΅ not so bad that I have to go to the hospital or anything, but it's deeper than most finger cuts I've had before. I was just getting back into guitar and now I'm gonna have to take a break from that for probably a week π.
On the bright side, the Fedora experience has already been a lot better so far, I always had minor problems with Windows on my old PC, mainly to do with intermittent wifi (only fixed by limiting it to wifi 3) and random crashes (which I think had to do with the GPU driver, but I'm not buying another GPU just to see if that fixes it), but Fedora Just Works. Also I was expecting to run into issues when moving the SSD from my old PC to the "new" one, but it's pretty much been a plug and play experience.
I have my HRT consultation on Thursday and I can't stop thinking about it
Get those girl pills/injections/patches!
So happy for you!!! 
Good luck! 
Congrats!
How do I tell my hairstylist that I want this haircut without showing them this image of a dog girl?
That hair cut more or less looks like what is literally called a wolf cut. Or you can just get bangs. Or just show her the picture, whatever
Wrong. The correct answer should only be "show her the dog girl pic"
Alone on a saturday again 
POS10 posting POSTIN TRANSITION COMPLETE; I am now Alice D. Addertounge newest member of the Sun Ra Arkestra! Rocket number nine to the planet Venus!
I'm feeling particularly content today and wish I knew how to recreate this feeling more consistently. I feel cheerful in a way where I don't feel like I'm faking it
Write a note to yourself in the future. Explain to her that you genuinely feel content and authentic. Let her know that it's possible for her to feel this way, regardless of however she's feeling when she reads it.
Read it when you're feeling doubtful.
This is wonderful advice. I'm doing this now
I should take my own advice sometimes 
yapping about trauma
the more I think about trauma, the more unfair I think it is to make traumatized adults participate in capitalist society when they're basically kids.
social services should circle the wagons and let people heal and learn before they have to grow up. it should be given the same urgency as a house fire.
like literally it's not right. you shouldn't be able to grow up wrong. people who need to learn to love themselves should be given that care. not access, not the option, point blank, provided with mental health resources and professionals.
when someone injures their leg, it's not, "oh oh I hope you can get the help you need" it's "holy shit he can't fucking walk we gotta help". why is mental health different LMAO
Obviously I'm being ridiculous and describing something that will never happen. Wanting to be dead is a feature, not a bug.
replying about trauma
I think about this all the time. Insane that we're expected to go through life and deal all the things non-traumatized people struggle with as if we're not trying to also put together and build up ourselves from nothing but a completely shattered foundation. And worst of all, this massive, gaping wound we're stuck trying to heal is basically completely invisible. It's not like we're walking around with casts on or bandages or something like that, so all the ways we struggle can just get written off as being lazy or irresponsible or whatever the fuck people tend to assume. I feel like the only humane way to treat trauma would be to give people at least a few years off of any responsibility so they can just focus on healing, because the stress of trying to do that while juggling a "normal life" feels like it only aggrevates the wound and is generally unproductive in both areas.
Ugh I hope I never tire of people telling me they love my outfit
Hasn't happened to me yet, either
I still haven't! 
I tried playing marvel rivals with some friends and its kinda fun, but also reminded me why I stopped playing those types of games: so many people who can't take a loss without getting insanely mad 
The absurdity of it is kinda funny when it happens, but it creates such a negative environment where i don't want to spend that much time tbh
Unless it's your friends getting mad online, just mute the in-game voice chat.
I have but people still rage in the text chat. Guess I could just mute that too
I've said this all before but I'm feeling it real good again. I'm so freaking thankful for this website. I'm so so so glad I came on here and made that post with my feels and met you all. I'm almost certain I would still be calling myself a cis man i it wasn't for you all π, and because I don't, I'm happier than I've ever been. I'm still trying to figure out the details, but realizing I don't have to be a guy has been so unimaginably freeing, and I wanted to thank you all again for helping me realize it.
π΅ Only you can set me free, 'cause I'm guilty (guilty) π΅
π΅ Guilty as a girl can be π΅
π΅ Come on baby, can't you see π΅
π΅ I stand accused π΅
π΅ Of love in the first degree π΅
sexism
I have a difficult time calling myself and being called a woman but not for gender reasons I don't think. I like girl and lady. I think it's because growing up, the context I would hear the word "woman" being used the most is my dad referring to my mom, and tying her fulfilment of her "biblical duties" to her womanhood. I think it's hard for me to separate the word from that connotation, even though I know it's bullshit. Like every time someone calls me a woman I feel my dad calling me one and I hate it.
spoiler
Sometimes we just have personal reasons why certain gendered terms donβt work for us. Hate your dad, though.
spoiler
Yeah I do too. He sucks in so many ways. If my brother wasn't living with him I would have cut him off entirely by now.
I'm kind of on the lookout for other terms I can go by (maybe even some nongendered ones π). I have the suspicion that I haven't found my favorite yet.
