Speaking of Thistle, she has an announcement.

A green woman with black hair stands imposingly against the backdrop of a sunset. She is dressed in a black checked western-cut long-sleeved top and wears a hex-shaped pewter badge on her left breast. Around her hip is a brown leather gun belt complete with an ornate sidearm. This is Thistle McKelly, Sheriff of the City of Eminence.

Sheriff Thistle McKelly dragged herself across a shattered universe to get back to her lady love.

She is one of the six Regulators of Eminence.

MLB's first female umpire ofaJen Pawol makes debut; checks Braves' Hurston Waldrep for illegal substances in first inning Pawol is umpiring at first base for her MLB debut during the opener of a Marlins-Braves doubleheader by lan Casselberry

And so the first headline about the first female umpire in the MLB’s first game is a low-key gripe about her performance.

Oh men, you are so very punchable.

So let me see if I got this:

Back in April, I designed, wrote, and self-published this 26-page booklet/zine about City of Eminence. I conceived the idea on a Sunday and had it finished by the following Saturday. No AI. No other contributors. My brain, my computer, my laserjet printer, my stapler. One week.

The Regulators of Eminence pose on Pier 26, with the Statue of Libertas in the background on the far right. From left, Thistle McKelly, Myria Klepzig, Phoebe Mosey, Harold Harris, Hellebore, and Emmiko Kieta. Above them, Myria uses her magic to display symbols of the six Petals of Eminence.

The Regulators are refugees from better, more equitable versions of Earth and built the City of Eminence as the template for a better society here. They’d rather teach as Exemplars.

But they are prepared to fight as Regulators.

Hojicha is roasted green tea that originated in Kyoto in the 1920s. Unlike regular green tea, the roasting process reduces caffeine content by up to 80% and creates a distinctive nutty, caramel flavor. The high-heat roasting transforms the tea's color from green to reddish-brown.

I was born on The Great Plains,
But I am a Daughter of the Sea.

And you will know my anger.

The rage I feel at my family, my own kind, my country…a rage I dare not express! No never.

Heaven forbid I show you my anger as a trans person. How dare I be anything other than a mewling fetish object for you to jerk off to while you pretend you’re not queer.

Because then I would be DaNgErOuS
