Very normal about my D&D characters. Will probably complain about fascism a lot and also talk about D&D stuff, maybe. Likes painting tiny minis and nails. They/he queer

If you say we have to vote for non-trans-supportive Dems to stop Republicans… 1. Would you say that if they supported literacy tests at the polls to "cut down on illegals voting"? 2. Would you say the same thing if they said they support bans on abortions until the woman has 9 months of therapy?

I'm so sorry. Its just... the worst feeling that's impossible to explain to anyone who hadn't been through it. Ten years just isn't enough time with the animals we love. I hope you can heal and someday be able to think happily about all the good times you had together.

My wife unironically has a coworker like this and I just... There is nothing to be done for that level of "No, I truly don't care about anyone but myself."

I've just been having a noodle through a lovely site: Big Box Collection. There, you'll find scans of big box microcomputer and DOS/Win PC games that you can rotate around and have very high levels of detail. You can also see what came inside them, too. bigboxcollection.com/Shelf
A screencap of the shelf presentation with front-facing game boxes displayedA snap of Wing Commander's rotatable boxA photo of the contents that came with someone's CD-ROM deluxe version. A CD sleeve and schematics of ships in the game.

Finished it just in time last night, it seems. This was an incredible deep dive that renewed my wife's excitement for GiTS as a whole. You did amazing work on it and I'm sorry that Bandai and YouTube continue to suck shit.

This hit me hard. I'm in a "safe state" that people tell me I'm lucky to live in. But my reps, even the queer one, tell me I'm overreacting too. For now, I can get my care and have some extra. On paper, I'm the wrong gender in case I lose Obergefell. I'm scared for my wife every day, even here.

Okay, but my wife did this solely to watch retro anime and play NES on and it has done absolute wonders for her mental health recently. No internet connection, only a 13" CRT, a NES, and ROM hacks clearly done by other trans women. Truly the ideal.

Thanks to Katie Carr on Threads, I just learned: in 1996, the cast of the newly-launched “Star Trek: Voyager” got together to do a feature for Parade magazine about the power of late-’90s technology. Behold its fabulously unhinged glory. 1/

Man, I love magnetics so much, absolutely my favorite finish. These rule, they look so incredible! My little inner crow brain deeply loves just staring at magnetic polishes. Just did a set with one and not me sitting there shifting my hand in the sunshine and staring at them, lol.

There's no way this isn't a deep underground data AI data center. He can build whatever the fuck he wants at the White House without disclosure and the contractors/donors involved are too perfectly aligned for this to not be a data center for surveillance/fascism/war crimes. I hate it here, lol.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
