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 le-monke 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

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

yapping about dysphoria, I don't actually know if this is coherentShaving takes so much work. And as much as I guess it's for me, like, it bugs me that I've been prioritizing self-care, self-reflection, self-exploration essentially since COVID and it hasn't had the desired affect of me becoming more of someone that people naturally want to be friends with.

I thought working on myself would demonstrate value or something, like my classmates at the time would see that and want to help. That's what I did for them, I would help if I thought someone needed it. Maybe I'm overthinking the concept of attracting or manifesting, or whatever. Like, I don't know if I understand what makes people want to stay in touch, I don't think that's an emotion that has been directed towards me. I don't know if I register socially, like I'm not viewed as someone who can be invited out for pizza, or texted,, or whatever.

But I can put zero effort in, go a week without shaving, wear sweats. Or I can moisturize, style my hair, and pick out all kinds of jewelry. I feel as though I'm overlooked, regardless of how I try to present. I just keep wondering at what point I can have, point blank, the conversations I want to have.

I often wish I were a woman, but I also don't think I know a goddamn thing about women, but ALSO know it's not great to be like "women are a separate category that confuses me" internally. So I somehow feel invalid no matter how I approach this.

I think I'll feel this way until a member of the local LGBTQ+ community catches me in a big cartoonish net because I see no way to solve everything about myself on my own. I think I'm at the natural endpoint of being a man, lmao

I feel like I'm caught in some sort of Ouroboros where my problems just keep feeding each other. I wish I could just like, see what happens in the minds of well adjusted people. I wish I could load a save where I already have someone who is gonna notice if I disappear or am not doing well.

Still feel self conscious enough to stop my self from using feminine mannerisms around other people, but now it comes with guilt over not asserting myself 🫠

I tried speed dating and this is about how it went:

Them: Says some presumably interesting anecdote about themselves but I can't hear them

Me: "WHAT?"

repeat for two hours

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

What if we had speed dating but it’s where you take speed before going on a date

I'm booking an appointment and the only gender neutral honorific is Dr. So fuck it, if you have to call me something, call me Doctor Moss. Doc Moss is acceptable.

Unironically wish I could put in Comrade instead of Mr or Miss or whatever

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Can’t you just leave it blank?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Actually that migjt have been an option I didn't check lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

No, no. Doctor is the clear winner

alcoholFucked up rn but felt kinda weird about "ze/hir" lately despite them being rad asf pronouns imho

Think I'm still mostly a "they/them" but being a "she/her" trans femme on occasion mite b cool

You know, just to cement the "lol definitely not a guy" feeling home

Or fuck, could I possibly be a binary trans woman instead of a weird enby that I've been living as for like a decade now???

Fuck idk

catgirl-flop

Idk maybe refer to me with she/her for awhile and I'm seeing if that's actually right or not, sorry

Like I came out gender wise as a trans woman initially a long time ago, then felt more comfortable being nonbinary, and I guess now I've kinda done full circle?

I dunno

I'm queer

spoiler . and my junk is small

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm in a similar position, might fjck with they/she. And wore a dress awhile ago. Didn't feel any gender feelings, just thought I looked pretty in it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Uh, let me be queer

Finally gonna go to my GP today and ask for a referal to a transgender clinic. I'm so excited/nervous I couldn't even sleep.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Going in for my first appointment at the clinic was so great. Everyone was beyond considerate, just really happy for me and encouraging

[–] [email protected] 10 points 14 hours ago

Having that first appointment at a gender clinic changed my life. Haven't even started hormones yet, but I feel like a new woman
