Why did you transition, wrong answers only. I like trans dudes so much I wanted to donate my testicles. Imagine my disappointment when they said I couldn't give them to charity.

This is why I'm not on board with Newsom. That he took the time to praise a man who's responsible for the deaths of millions of queer people shows he's the worst kind of gutless, pandering faux-centrist. Dragging Trump on social media doesn't win you a free pass on this shit.

Yes! But canonically they're way too one dimensional. For one of my campaign settings I re-imagined them as a tragic fallen society that had thrown off the yoke of demonic evil and taken up a more shamanic religion. Gave them a chance to shine as possible allies.

Redshirts was not the book I thought it **would** be. But what you did with it was so much more interesting than what I expected. Not to crawl completely up my own ass, but it's pretty brilliant meta-fiction wearing the pilfered skin of a mildly clever parody.

That's more red flags than a communist parade. I'll add referring to someone as "a trans", or general reference to "the gays".

Looking up help videos for the somewhat arcane publishing software I'm using goes: 10 minute preamble 30 seconds of utterly basic shit that I figured out within minutes of touching the program 50/50 chance that they'll mention the shortcut I need 5 minutes of "like and subscribe for more!" The end.

If you ever meet a trans woman and she claims she's not suffering intense jealousy over your hair, she's a damned liar.

I just watched the remake of "Murder on the Orient Express" and I'm not sure anything can top Poirot's epic stache.

I get campaign ideas from music all the time. Song lyrics that tell a story tend to leave a whole lot of that whitespace. And music is just generally inspirational.

I've actually tasted Irn Bru, because a friend brought some back from Edinburgh one time. Irn Bru tastes of orange and sugar, with just a faintly overwhelming suggestion that someone dissolved a railroad spike in your drink as a prank.

To sum up life in Central #oregon in one encounter: stopped in the shopping center parking lot to let the openly pistol-carrying dude in full tactical gear cross the street in front of me. He flashed me a peace sign before continuing on into the local organic food store.

Editing for consistency a first draft of a gaming book that was written by 2 authors over 15 years spread across 10 discrete files. If that's not a labor of love, I don't know what is. #writing

I'd just moved to town and got referred to this Endo without getting the low-down from the local trans community. I met a couple of lovely trans boys and when I mentioned she was my doc they reacted with visceral horror. I met my new doc at that same event.

My Endo switched me to patches after I'd been on injections for 2 years. It sucked in every possible way. I fired her and got a doc who would prescribe shots.
