So here's my MySpace pic from 2006/07. When I was 20.
My assymetrical bob screams aspiring Karen.
Those brows? It's 2006, honey.
And that eye liner? I might have a secret shitty tattoo, but I'm not telling.

I've come around on some Creed singles but One Last Breath has some generic oughties rock energy I still can't get into, and it kinda feels like they were looking for a repeat of With Arms Wide Open. I'm more into the heavier singles off My Own Prison and Human Clay.

Yes, but his troglodyte right-wing views are very popular with the wh*te flight detritus that landed in the Pearl in the Oughties and now won't go outside because of woke or sell their properties.
Classen talks directly to that "i'm not racist, but..." turbo-racism of a wh*te flighter.

We all looked suuuuuuupergay in the oughties. Skin tight boot cut hip hugger jeans, frosted tips, puka bead necklaces, thumb rings, popped collars, ear, nose, and eyebrow rings, bronzers, back tatts...
Somehow those same assholes are mad about gay people now.

Every time the industry announces a studio buyout there's like a handful of gamers who are like "wow maybe this could be good" and it's funny because this has been happening since the oughties.

You may find this unbelievable, but I haven't met anyone with a mindset like that since the mid oughties.
Most of the other trans women and other trans fem types that I know are polyamorous lesbians or pan folks, and not too (or not at all) into dudes.

@theslowridepod.bsky.social The list of websites offering blurbs in my ebook copy of A Dog in a Hat is like a who's who of mid-oughties cycling websites. From bike snob to all hail the black market. Like some hipster internet archeology.

This reminds me of a story from my youthful days as a contract archaeologist. We used to do a lot of work in northern Virginia, up and down Rt 28 as those office parks were getting built in the oughties. Per diem work, we'd eat PB&J all week and blow our cash Thursday nights on a huge dinner.

Listening to the server in this Indian restaurant gently try to guide the group of extremely white people away from ordering “spicy,” and their determination to order “spicy” means I am now stuck here until they get their food.

no seriously, for a bit in high school I played one of those common-for-the-oughties goofy mostly-text-based mmos, and it had both mahjong and koi-koi because the webmaster was a fucking nerd (affectionate) and something about koi-koi just kinda clicked for me?

-hugs- I'm so sorry. I know that journey.
I mean... Anchorage in the early oughties wasn't necessarily backwoods, but culturally we're always a bit behind up here. The lack of exposure to gender expression and queerness in general lead to this vague, nebulous idea of "transness."

17. Oh fuck me runnin. At the risk of being redundant-"alt rock"
Which includes the niche post-grunge phase. As a 90's kid, I also love the early oughties top 40's. Funk rock, folk rock.
And goddamn Clutch - which is it's own genre.

was never *big* into them but I still kinda get it, since I spent a fair bit of cumulative time with a few of their albums, courtesy of a lot of their songs being *all over* the AMV scene in the back half of the oughties (especially "Whispers in the Dark", good lords)

In receipt of some very nice backdrop books from @handiworkgames.bsky.social and I find myself possessed of the urge to make some 1/10 scale props and take some very silly photos - to wit, the Boringest Possible Gundam Poses In Front Of The Coolest Possible Backdrops.
