Transitional - Transgender - Literotica.com Second acts and second chances.

Transitional went up this morning, about a divorced, middle-aged cis man running into Mitch, a trans man that he'd known, intimately, in their youth before he transitioned. It's a second chance romance about living a life that's true, no matter how painful that can sometimes be.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

This is unrelated to this post, but I saw your mention of neck and shoulder pain. If it’s still occurring, you might try a massage gun. They’re inexpensive and really helped a lot with nonspecific muscle pain for me in the past. Good luck!

A very mild BTB for my @literotica.com 750 Words Project entry this year, with just a soupçon of scorch.

Serious question: what are the benefits of going back to the moon? I mean, I love the idea from a romantic notion of space travel, but are there any likely "hard" benefits from it, as opposed to, say, UBI or some other Earth-based use of the money?

4 panel comic Panel 1: Purple Guy in sweatshirt addresses the reader. He says, “Sure, Twitter has a Nazi problem. But I’m staying to fix it” Panel 2: Purple Guy has gone full on Sitting Backwards On A Chair Mode. The chair has the X logo on it. He is wearing sunglasses and blue jeans. He is talking to some Nazis. He says “Listen Fellas, did you know that being a Nazi…” Panel 3: Close up on Purple Guy lowering his sunglasses for maximum effect. He continues “Is BAD?” Panel 4: The Nazis look flabbergasted by this revelation. They all go “WHUAAA??”

No point in wasting fuel fighting physics. Shoot them out of the solar system instead.

Mind the Fel Reaver in Hellfire Peninsula.

Hey, I’m sorry that happened to you. Hopefully the near future will bring better things.

I remember an Olympian talking about this one time, and they essentially said that there’s a LOT of sex, but not as much as this implies. Roughly, “They put out bowls of Olympic-branded condoms, and you think we weren’t grabbing them by the handfuls to shove in our luggage? Especially the guys?”

Ah, but you forget: we used to have vaguely competent people in charge.

Really? Because the last time we used this type of shutdown, specifically, with no prior warning, was after 9/11. Admittedly, that was nationwide, but even on a citywide basis, this never happens like this.

More “a plane crashed carrying one, and we’re only vaguely sure where. Please shut down all civilian air traffic while we figure it out kthxbai.”

Really? Because it’s giving big “oops, we might have lost a nuke” energy.

Paul Blume @PaulBlume_FOX9 x.com SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9 3:34 PM • 2/3/26

Apparently morale at DOJ is so low that line attorneys are asking to be held in contempt so they can get some sleep yikes

A lot of us relate this.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Make it viral.

Git off mah lawn!

I've been laughing at this all day. All three of these people nailed it. 10/10, no notes.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

And similarly, the wives (whether they believe they love their husbands are not) are often coded as traditional fictional sociopaths: manipulative, remorseless (or alternately, not understanding how their actions will harm those "love"), etc. I thought it would be fun to make that subtext text. 2/2
