I curate hours of in-flight entertainment for myself as if I don’t know I will just sleep anyway. 🥲

#FireEmblem: Three Houses was out 6 years ago (2019) for Switch! 🦅🦁🦌 With tons of replayability, a fantastic cast, and more visual novel and slice of life elements between big tactical battles. Which House was your favorite route?

Review: www.rpgfan.com/review/fire-...

I just want to stare at the Pacific and think about the places I want to see that are oceans away.

I just want to let my guilt, and shame, and fear wash away. I just want the strength to not let the little things get me down anymore. To forgive myself for not being perfect.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

I’m probably playing with fire by talking about my old job openly like this but I’m kind of tired of being silent for the sake of looking good. It destroyed my mental health trying to show up every day to put out fires only to be treated like I was the problem and was always making things worse.

I’m going back to my home state for the first time since January 2024. The last time I was there I was still working at a job where I was disliked, unwanted, and seen as a problem. I’ve come out the other side but I feel like an entirely different person since I last went back.

13 of our titles have been shadowbanned despite containing no nsfw content and not being tagged as such.

They ARE tagged LGBT content.

Don't pretend this is only about nsfw works. Why are you censoring queer works?

RE: last post

This is why I’ve always been unnerved by the recent turn in popular feminist rhetoric to be more SWERF and sex-negative. It’s easier to push people to accept right-wing ideas if you push progressive culture to find depiction of sexuality “cringe”.

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic

they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

Mr. Terrific is one of the breakout characters of the new Supes movie. Deservedly so. Notice anything about him? No origin, no real name, no exposition about who he is or why he does what he does. Well told stories don't need to explain their characters. They show them to us.

There's literally never been a trans woman who has ever competed on any US Olympic team despite trans people having been eligible since 2004.

I am thrilled to announce that I, a thirty-one year old woman, am having chickie nuggies for dinner.

This is why I teach. This is why I make music. This is why I want to help people unlock the incredible potential of their voices. ❤️

Being in my 30s is like swinging back around to my teens again in terms of hobbies. Writing and reading fanfics, making OCs, roleplaying, etc.

What’s happening is eugenics.

Cutting Medicaid. Telling you COVID is mild. Blocking climate research. Rolling back trans rights. Police militarization and brutality. All of it.

Fascism is built on eugenics. So is racism, classism, transphobia, etc.

Any resistance must center disability justice.

Since then, she’s accompanied me through a lot of the highs and lows of recovering from my trauma. I listen to her playlist when I’m feeling bad, or write little vignettes of her shenanigans. She’s been my custom character in several games since, too.

I’m really happy she’s a part of my heart.

Back in December, about a month after starting my new job, I picked up a game I had started back around the time all the bad stuff happened and promptly dropped.

The game had a character creator and I made her as my character because it fit her perfectly.

She leapt from the game back into my life.

My favorite of my OCs right now is a warrior. I created her about 8 or so years ago, but earlier this year she charged back into my life to help me deal with the trauma of last year.

And she has given me so much strength. I want to write stories about her or something. Idk. OCs are therapeutic.

In my latest Goodreads blog, a list of inspiring books on women pioneers of classical music. It was hard to narrow it down! If you haven't read Susan Tomes's latest book, "Women and the Piano," you should read it right away. You won't be able to put it down!

It cannot be said enough: the cruelty is a feature, not a bug.

The image features a vibrant bouquet of various flowers, including red, purple, blue, yellow, and orange blooms, with green leaves and stems. The flowers are densely packed, creating a colorful and lively arrangement against a black background. Overlapping the floral design is bold white text that reads: "I WISH FOR YOU WHAT YOU WISH FOR IMMIGRANTS" The text is prominent and stands out clearly against the colorful backdrop. At the bottom, the word "TRANSPAINTER" appears, likely indicating the artist or creator of the image.

Wrote a thing: ...at the heart of it is another Trumpian Big Lie, that immigrants are a burden and menace. We need to fight the false story with a true one: this country needs its immigrants and they are a blessing and an enrichment of what this country is and in many ways its heart and soul.
