positive in-person discussion with a potential transphobe
The conversation began on the subject of diets and body-shaming. She is on the low FODMAP diet (same as my wife) for IBS and other GI issues and said she went from “chubby” to what she feels is sickly thin, and in both body types, people made hurtful comments that presumed to know how SHE felt about herself. She has had body image issues her whole life, and seemed very affected by my description of dysphoria as a pervasive discomfort.

Yesterday I attended the final parking lot BBQ of the season here in snowbird villa. I spent 35 minutes talking with a lady who said she’d never met a trans person before me, and who is clearly a republican. I told her what it was like for me, how I “knew”, what HRT does, and what it’s like living with dysphoria. She went from being polite with “you’re just pretending” vibes to “oh my god, that makes sense, I had no idea what it was like!”

*rips bong* the laws banning gender affirming care can be applied against men who buy the cybertruck

Tech conferences in 2024, probably:
“We held our con and in a state that bans women’s emergency health care and where being transgender in public is basically criminalized - but they have cheap margaritas and a nice pool there, and Snuffy the organizer likes to golf there.
On a completely unrelated note, you can’t call us out for having all straight white men speakers, because for some reason they’re just the only ones who apply to our CFP. We guess minorities just don’t really want to be in tech 🤷🏼♂️”

mutual aid request, boosts appreciated
I guess I need to do this. The math works out that for the next few years I'm simply not making enough money and I'm already dangerously close to burning out so hard I may not be able to keep my job. I'm holding on for now but I need help, plain and simple.

It started as a quick email about why I wasn't going to write something about New College.
@mavica_again I am glad that the thing I am steadfastly refuses all attempts to name it, gender it, or categorize it, beyond the word “werewolf”. Symbols are powerful but I don’t feel compelled to force myself into a group with any sort of dogma. Maybe that’s not what the symbol is, but it just ain’t for me
@mavica_again i stand with you

An older picture (2003) from the Critter Costuming photo shoot. I was still using Silvermane's old hands and feet from the haunt.
@jsonbecker you can do this!
This place still isn’t complete without Misty View aka Cheatlines
@mavica_again @Atatra i know the EXACT texture you're describing with icing. when it air-dries for a day and the sugar verrrrry slightly re-crystalizes and there's a crumbly sort of tooth to it
