TC69 here, ready and willing for another tour of duty in Hexbeargyzstan.

What the fuck, UlyssesT got back from slumber, and now you? A legendary poster I only have heard of?

This better not be a bit.

- does not preclude a bit
- Oh fuck you're back too???? Welcome! Another legend returns.
UlyssesT just deleted his account.
You must not have been here when I banned bits.
- No I was not, I'm from lemmygrad and have been here since GenZedong got quarantined :3

Welcome back!

We never stopped upholding TC69 thought.

Good.

Nice to see you too, Dirt Owl! 😍

The prodigal daughter has returned. Last time you were here, you made me read theory, self-crit, and shot me with the gender gun and turned me nonbinary

It was the cries of wayward Hexbearians that I transed that helped me find my way back, lmao.
Thanks for having me back! Congratulations on transing your gender, comrade! It's really nice to see so many oldheads still here 😭
- You got me too.

Wow is that Boruto's mom's husband as a kid? Cool concept, they should make a prequel for Boruto

Great! I was hardly a name around here when you left but I got a hamster and posted him a bunch. He passed and then I became a trans girl!

Pretty good. I used to think you were a bit grating and overbearing with your whole "banning transphobes and yelling at people they have to educate themselves about transness" thing, and then I recently went back and looked at old strugglesessions and suddenly

Apart from that I'm personally doing better than ever. I've got the best apartment I've ever had, I'm exercising regularly and I live right next to a deluxe fancy bakery that doesn't lock its' dumpster, so I've got sourdough bread and cinnamon buns out the wazoo.

I definitely was very overbearing but not without good reason. Constant manic episodes and the crushing weight of the momentum at which things were moving absolutely did not help that either. But now I'm medicated and the community is very pro-trans from what I've been seeing, so unless everyone suddenly becomes a massive shitlib overnight, I'd like to go back to the community organizing I did at the start of Hexbear - without the massive resentment for and anger towards the community.
Dumpster bread is one helluva vibe tho 🥵
- Your decisions at the beginning really helped shape this site's culture into what it is now in the best possible way. Like Stalin, after your departure a pile of rubbish was heaped on your grave, but the wind of History sooner or later swept it away without mercy.
- Banning transphobes is based as hell actually, instantly makes this one of the only good places on the internet.
- I really do mean that I get it now though. Having re-read some of those thread (and for anyone curious I made a compilation post) made me realise what I didn't see back then, because I used to stay out of all those discussions. People were frustratingly obtuse, and that's being generous. I definitely would have done the same, had I been in your spot. I can relate to being medicated and then looking back at previous behaviour too though, it's... it's an experience for sure.
  Looking forward to experiencing your community organising.
  Oh it's not just dumpster bread. They make this weird caramelized double croissant-thing. It's like crack cocaine. I'm giving out so many baked goods, partially because of course I do, but mainly to avoid clogging my arteries.
- I definitely was very overbearing but not without good reason.
  Thank you very much, sincerely, your efforts are part of the reason why hexbear is one of the only usable deep internet sites due to how much of a plague transphobia is, even on supposedly "leftist" sites.
The old threads, Christ...

Welcome back LEGEND

it's fucking great go be back

We are so back, there's a non-zero chance we'll see TC69 beanis posting

Welcome back! I had a different account back then and thought I was cis, but I remember those days

so nice to see you two back. i still delete my account every few months so to you im just tuesday but i still owe you for missing the feinberg book club during the second round of the pronoun wars but I did end up finishing trans liberation so ty for that

I don't think I'll have to shame anyone into reading this time around. I certainly can scream at y'all to read for old times sake if that's what y'all really want, but I'd rather not, lmao. Once I'm back in the pool and adjusted to the temp, you can pay off that IOU by participating in the next reading sesh. :)
- I used Leslie Feinbergs work in a city planning project lol

i became trans in the time since you left, thank you for fostering the community that helped me realise it and to then get on hrt

We're still working on the cracker purge, it's simply impossible to overestimate how much we value your help for this next endeavor.

Welcome back!

UPHOLD TC69 THOUGHT

Upholding your thoughts Ma'am

Welcome back

Thanks for having me back, pal! ❤️

Not gonna dox myself beyond just saying I served with you back in the day and I’m no longer cis. Also no longer an anarchist, not that that matters. Hope you’re doing good. I’m doing better than ever, thankfully.

Chat, is this real?

Chat! This is crazy chat!

Belligerent and numerous

there's a got dang cheeto in the white house

the queen returns

but in a non-monarchical way!

i went from semi-lurker to power poster but for comments. still working on the HRT thing

Welcome back

hello

Welcome back

haha you said doody

The legend returns. We've attempted to hold to TC69 Thought, welcome back.

Anyone else sing the name "TC69" to the tune of David Bowie's TVC15? Or is that just me?

Welcome back hero!

(Could someone plz give us a QRD about one of our most celebrated well loved posters, I was here from the very beginning but was too busy cooming or something to pay attention)

TC69 was one of the early admins and important in shaping the site culture. Particularly by bullying people into reading gender theory and leading relentless purges against transphobia and stupidpolism
This method of ruthlessly purging shitheads had the incredible effect of making the site a more welcoming place for cool people. We refer to this methodology, in her honor, as upholding TC69 thought

Welcome back. Feel free to unleash on the lemmitors on the other instances that post nonsense, they are in desperate need of basic education.

Hiii!

Welcome back, comrade.

Glad to have you back

TC! Woohoo she returns!

I wanna say thank you for bullying many libs, myself included, and introducing me to Leslie Feinberg. I did not know that reading Beyond Pink and Blue four years ago would set off a line of dominos which ended with me realizing I am agender. And now I feel much happier with my identity than before, and I have you to thank.

Do you condemn hummus?

I condom hummus.

he'll yeah

It's good to see you again. I can tell you that I would CERTAINLY not be here right now if you hadnt made the impact you did on the site's culture and its overall acceptance of trans people. I'm so happy for that. 🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Welcome back, we're gonna have a lot of work to do in the coming years and having you with makes me confident we'll do some good shit

I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be honored if you joined us for movie night on hextube sometime, usually something playing every night

I've heard the tales

She’s back!

You know, it’s strange. I’ve been here since the start and I cannot for the life of me remember anything about her. I can’t figure out why so many are excited she’s back. No disrespect, I just can’t remember.
