Hanlon's razor states, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity," but fails to take into account cowardice or the societal impulse to react to the malice of others. A corrolary, Clara's Epilator: “Sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.”

That fact that he apparently was napping in Parliament with his feet up on the bench and did not receive a whipping (even a verbal one) for that only tells me that someday he needs to be asked to go to a Summerisle to give a speech.

I was walking back from CVS after picking up some meds, and someone yelled "HEY SHAWTY, LOOKIN' GOOD!" at me. (I was the only female-presenting person on the street at the time.)

Reagan slammed the US' dick in a car door and almost half a century later it's still being felt, still making the situation far worse than it would have been otherwise. Everyone *else* on earth getting really into the idea of dumping fossil fuel, is gonna go basically anywhere else for it.

I'm honestly like, "Well, he seems decent, but then does stuff like this... what the absolute fuck? Oh, wait, the Catholic priesthood." The last two word are said in the same tone that most people would use to say something like "my dog just shit the rug again".

it's so fun how trans people can keep saying over and over and over and OVER again how the catholic church's ban on trans healthcare is one of the most sweeping and draconian and every day liberals & leftist just ignore it to gush about whatever meaningless "progressive" gesture the pope made today

Rest well, Peter Cullen. You were so many heroes and friends of my youth, an inspiration in my adulthood, and the voice of a character I always felt I needed to measure myself against, but who would never be mean if I was found wanting, just push me to be better. You lit our darkest hours.

There are two good ways to act with the Muppets. Either you take the Michael Cain approach and pretend you are working with a professional troupe from the West End. Or the Tim Curry approach where you pretend you yourself are also a Muppet. RIP

It’s results day! Kids: I performed massively under expectations on my A-levels, took a year out to work two jobs, cry in the toilets, and save no money because I drank and smoked it all, then went to uni so i could drop out, move in with a couple of transsexuals, and transition. You can, too!

Did some work on an old character's short story this morning, because I find myself blocked on a lot of things. It involved my (benevolent) mad scientist having a McKinsey-like corporation come in and offering ways to "streamline" her company's organization.

For Jey, it’s everything; the desire to transition and be free to marry her lover, neither of which her father would allow The baron would see the first as impertinant and the second as too low-class to be allowed.

Hey, this post is about Taeliana Publishing and our books. Big thanks to our friends and supporters for making us feel good. Main site: www.taelianacreative.com Links: beacons.ai/taelianacrea...

About the Writer

About me: I am Jen Dantes, but I used to be someone else. I am a transgender woman living in Philadelphia with my wife and a lot of stuffed animals while writing, looking for work, and working on a degree in Cybersecurity.

Things I Know and Do:
* I have multiple years of technical support experience
* I can cook and actively enjoy it
* I have played TTRPGs for entirely too many years
* I taught myself a lot of things in Word and Photoshop to make books and book covers.

Favorites:
Foods: chili dogs, nachos, pizza, kappa-maki (cucumber rolls)
Animals: dogs, cats, pangolins
TTRPGs: D&D, Pathfinder, Champions, Shadowrun, Star Wars, Thirsty Sword Lesbians
CRPGs: WoW, FGXIV
Other things: cooking, 3d printing, sewing, cooking

My books and writing: My books are set in my world of Taeliana, originally created for a D&D game, then with the numbers filed off. It's a queer-normative world of high fantasy where the heroes have to fight both their enemies and, sometimes, prejudice against them.

At some point I need to figure out a reasonable advertising option for my books. I’m not interesting enough on my own, and I’m sure that since my voice is what always clocks me an ad I actually appear in might make things worse. I just can’t figure it out.

One of the great thing about writing in a medieval fantasy world is that I can drop a line like, "She'd pulled her lover into the cloakroom for a little light ravishing mid-ball", and people will understand what I mean.

Five minutes years ago, I started HRT. While I wish I had done it years - decades - earlier, it’s made a lot of things in my life much better. While I still suffer dysphoria and dysmorphia, and fear I will never be able to afford anything I want, still, I am glad I came out to myself.

Hi there! For Lesbian Visibility Month, I would like to note that in both my novels, the core relationships are lesbians. In Ballad of the Grey Swan, Jey is trans and Maisie is cis but both are lesbians, and in Fiendblood Meliantha is pansexual and Liliana is very, very gay.

Because I was kind of angry last night, I decided to look for some kind of feel-good movie to watch. My usual, The Count of Monte Cristo, wasn't quite an option, because revenge isn't something I wanted to think about. I found a place I could watch the movie Dave.

Earth, from Artemis II. Everything you've ever done, everyone you've ever known, all that you have traveled is contained in this picture.

A photograph of Earth seen from space against a black background with faint stars. The visible hemisphere prominently displays the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the large brown landmass of northwestern Africa, and swirling white cloud formations scattered across the globe. A thin, bright blue atmospheric glow traces the top left curve of the planet.

Not only did I get absolutely zero pushback, but it turned into a thread where trans people on MetaFilter talked about their projects. I ended up selling some more books as a result, and some other people got some business as well. Calling it an absolute win.
