Just started the process to get my next colonoscopy scheduled and I hate it.

Don't just let Banned Books Week be just another mostly cisallohet white people display. Get proactive and get your patrons engaged. They need to know they have a voice, they have power. Libraries aren't neutral. Our job is to provide information, so provide it.

Your displays should be mostly marginalized identities and experiences. Your display should also provide your patrons with resources for learning about bans and challenges, and how to get involved with their local community.

Ideas: include dates or links/QR to upcoming school board or library board mtgs, great; provide comment cards for patrons to express how much they appreciate diverse books; provide links/QR to PENAmerica or AABB; provide stats and information about *why* books are being banned, not just which ones.

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.

Please tell me you're kidding. Please tell me people aren't calling it that.

I also highly recommend Galaxy, and not just because it's apparently illegal to read it in some places.

Yeah, those folk who were regular Kickstarters or Toolkit subscribers got more details, but that's the jist of it.

And, just like that, my little vacation is over. I did get to hang out with other trans women (different ones each day, even!) for three days in a row, which was pretty marvelous.

I watched GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) entirely too young and the scene where the devil dogs "hatch" from the gargoyles absolutely terrified me.

Okay. So here's what I know - I lost my day job. - I hated my day job. - I liked having a lot of money and health insurance. - But a lot of money never made me happier, I just owned more stuff. - I do still need health insurance. - I'm really fucking good at lettering comic books.

One of the great joys of my life, which somehow I only discovered after coming out (despite having been with the same woman for over twenty years at the time, and having done so much cuddling)

You really don't have to Go Hard And Dark to have a good time folks. If you're a good writer (and a good RPer, which are overlapping but distinct skillsets) and you keep the OOC lines of communication open with folk, you'll find people to explore stories with.

Back when I was RPing in FFXIV, I seemed to get a lot of positive attention for just... RPing a good natured, (apparently) normal Big Guy. He had some heavier stuff going on behind the scenes, but... it almost never came up, so he was just a friendly swordsman retired-to-merchant mentor figure.

Every once in a while I deviate from my 🤘 standard.

Thank you! They are new! I need to get something done to keep them from sliding down my nose, but otherwise they're great

Dear trans gals Stop saying "good girl" to folks you don't even know. It's creepy and weird and crossing all kinds of boundaries If you're friends or know the gal and know they don't mind that's fine, rock on, but I get strangers saying that shit for getting my vaccine or finishing a script and EW

So anyway, a new friend with a background in sex work said I could be a phone sex operator and that's probably the best compliment I've ever gotten about my voice.

Some day I *will* stream a fully-voiced playthrough of the first one again.

Yeah, Suikoden 2 is a better game, but I played Suikoden 1 earlier and more often.
