Hey everyone, I'm really in a bind. I was just told earlier today that my job will be terminating me on October 13th, exactly one day before my upcoming requested paid medical leave to recover from bottom surgery. I intend to fight this in court, but I could really use some help in the meantime.

If you like the work somebody does (artist, writer, creator of any kind), and you have the chance to tell them, make sure you tell them. But don't just tell them that you like it. Tell them WHY you like it. Tell them what specific things they're doing well, and what specifically speaks to you.

I don't know about you all, but these latest photos of Mitch McConnell have me a little concerned about his health and mental fitness.

A picture of Davros from Doctor Who, creator of the daleks. He's a twisted and shriveled old man being kept on life support, confined to a sci-fi wheelchair thing. He also bears a striking resemblance to recent photos of Mitch McConnell, seen alive (and I use that term loosely) for the first time since his hospitalization.

Been on a TTRPG design kick when I'm not laying on my backside in pain or paralyzed from anxiety. Building new mechanics from the ground up, and I couldn't be more pleased with them. I just don't know if anybody else is going to like them.

I'm no expert in UK politics – I keep up a little, but I'm a dirty American with my own ridiculously fucked up government to distract me and the media quality here is ass. But, I'm really curious how much different various factors are contributing to this, including England's vast TERFery.

The FWS ruling & the English government's meddling in Scottish law over trans folk being able to change birth cert, the pausing of trans healthcare in Wales and the UK SC ruling's incompatibility with NI law proves trans folk will eventually unite Ireland and lead to Scots/Welsh independence.

The more time goes on, the more I think most people frame their politics around who they can justify being awful to. And no, I'm not just talking about Citrus Hitler and his followers – they are just a prime example.

Leaving the house opened up at night because I'm awake all night and it's nice, and I was just visited by the Black Cat of Good Fortune that wandered into my kitchen. It had a bell on its collar, it said meow, it booped my hand, and then it skittered away out the door into the night.

Currently, the only two things I can seem to work on that don't feel meaningless, and I don't feel like I hate everything I create, are TTRPG design and a meta-conlang thing. And I'm still fighting myself hard on both.

Mass suicides in Nazi Germany
Article
Talk
亥
^
During the final weeks of Nazi Germany and World War I! in Europe, many civilians, government officials, and military personnel throughout Germany and German-occupied Europe committed suicide. In addition to Adolf Hitler and many high-ranking Nazi officials like Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, and Philipp Bouhler, others chose suicide rather than accept the defeat of Germany.!"! Motivating or triggering factors included fears of execution for Nazi war
crimes or reprisals and atrocities by the Allies and the Soviets, Nazi propaganda glorifying suicide as preferable to defeat, and despondency after Hitler's suicide. For example, in May 1945, up to 1,000 people killed themselves in a mass suicide in the German town of Demmin, before and after

The reason I am so hard on liberals and leftists is because it's hard to fight those stabbing you in the front when your "allies" are stabbing you in the back, and kind of need them to stop doing that so we can fight those stabbing us in the front.

People have noted I’m writing more articles about anti trans dems now than I used to. I swear it isn’t because I hate dems or want them to lose. I’ve ALWAYS written articles about anti trans dems. It’s just that now there are so many more to write about.

HRC had one of Janice Raymond's friends, Linda Scaparotti, on their board, and she is still listed on their emeritus council. You can also find her in the acknowledgements of "The Transsexual Empire." I don't think a pro-trans organization would have a TERF at the highest level of leadership.

I tried soy milk today for the first time. It was better than I expected. A slightly off aftertaste, but the texture was really good, and the foretaste wasn't bad. Probably won't be drinking it straight, but having it with cookies or cereal is definitely on the table.

What a moron. There is no amount of anti-trans you can embrace that will get them to stop running anti-trans ads against you. They run them against each other as Republicans. A new GOP anti-trans ad targeting Dem candidate Sarah Trone Garriott, who herself has adopted an anti-trans sports policy.

Looks like Equality Ohio tends to give Amy Acton, Dem Governor candidate in Ohio, a "B" grade. The candidate has called trans girls boys, embraced a transgender sports ban, said it was a matter of safety, and refuses to meet with transgender activists int he region. Wow.
