Btw whoever recommended "not the price of admission " to all trans women yeah uh this is going through behaviour patterns I see constantlyy that fuck folks up, Def worth checking out if you're a "I'm uniquely unlovable" type

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

I remain the only board game designer brave/stupid enough to make a mostly family-friendly board game based on an old Irish man's badly-written pornography

this is also true if you are a trans femme perverted board game designer

Okay just one thing I found cool that isn't a spoiler. There's a beautiful split diopter shot in the movie-within-the-movie, and the filmmaker character gets to mumble "split diopter" when it shows up because she also think it's cool, and it draws attention to a unique shot in a fun meta way.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Seems like maybe Haley Stevens’ closing argument of “someone made fun of my voice on the Internet so please vote for me” didn’t quite get the job done

Just told my therapist about the time when I was like ten and my mother posed the hypothetical "if someone pulled a gun on us and fired, would you jump in front of it to save your mother's life" and apparently that's *not* a normal thing to ask a child? huge if true

was just reminded of my previous therapist, who told me it was triggering when I talked about my trauma, described a heartbreak I experienced as "a challenge from the goddess of love, and I know you will pass it", and opened a session holding an acoustic guitar, proceeding to play a set on my time

chat, it is bad when your last campaign event is disavowed by the host because they didn't realize it was your campaign event and fundamentally oppose what you're all about

same woman, identical reaction. these terfs have no idea what they're actually afraid of.

confusing gender milestone reached: handed a child a parcel that was clearly a birthday present, mother tells child "say thank you to the nice lady" while wearing a terf "adult human female" shirt

I try so hard not to get involved in anything to do with this guy but what a catastrophic failure of understanding and perspective this is, my opinion of anyone who rates him as a thinker ticks down a notch every time I see something like this

okay now he's gone too far

Kitty Pryde is not a real woman, she makes choices that men want her to make

haley stevens started her day in grand rapids, which tracks because if grand rapids were a senate candidate it would be haley stevens

One of my favorite annual events with my pre-covid gaming group was our Hollandspiele birthday party. Hollandspiele games only (rule bent for Northern Pacific), and we always had to play For-Ex. I'll at least try to spend some time with Swords Against to celebrate this year

This month marks the tenth anniversary of Hollandspiele, which started taking orders for a reprint of Brian Train's The Scheldt Campaign on August 16, 2016. We have in that time released 122 games, expansions, and freebies - 64 of them my own designs. What a beautiful gift this life & work is.

work continues apace on this year's hollandays freebie game "that chrumbo's gonna be a star", about a silent film star who is a goose this morning I did the layout for the player role cards

these card names are so dumb and I love them so much

people keep telling me I am a Very Serious Artist at the vanguard of her form, and like sure, I guess, but really I'm just a goofball with a lil fang

Samhain bought me a necklace for Christmas and it arrived yesterday. She said she saw it and saw me in it, a whole comprised of pieced-together objects, and I knew exactly what she meant. What a beautiful thing it is to be known. What a lovely surprise. 🥰

reminded of the time a spiteful cis lady told me my breasts wouldn't be "as big or as round as a real woman's" because "your breasts don't have the same types of tissues and organs" and, like, "organs"?? wtf do you think you got going on in there

tfw you are very lonely and wanted to live with lots of friends, so you bought this planet from a space realtor

not to besmirch composer Robert J. Walsh but I wouldn't be surprised if his X-Men theme was written while waiting in line to order lunch "Magneto's hordes are on their way to pillage, burn and plunder/ but there's one team that will not yield, the team that strikes like thunder" is splendidly dumb

My grandmother used to read stories from one of the books to me, from a copy that her mother had read to her. I talk about that copy of the book in this video from a couple years back: youtu.be/-T1WJpy5Agc

One of my childhood favorite boardgames was Uncle Wiggly IP! Only reason I know the character.

started watching the bakshi directed seasons of the 60s spiderman cartoon & every so often there will just be a killer shot someone managed to throw their whole pussy into despite all the production limitations

reminded of this note from my editor

And none of you stand so tall: You will dwell in Gastgedal!

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

he's not a possum and his rabbit ass does wear a waistcoat, but I feel like Howard Garis's Uncle Wiggily stories - forgotten now, but in the early 20th Century, one of the most popular and recognizable children's characters - has this very rural country vibe?

Lesbian Death Bed: The Bed that Eats Pussy (pro orph)@bitterkarella.bsky.social · 2d ago

can't think of a specific author that exemplifies "possums in overalls" the way that kenneth grahame or beatrix potter personify "rabbits in waistcoats," but am sure there must be one. readers, help me out here

it is genuinely embarrassing to see this article written by a trans woman. my sister in gender no matter how many boots you lick They Will Not Pick You. have a fucking spine please.

The ‘Jeopardy!’ host made it absolutely clear where he stands once again.

there are of course a hundred reasons to dunk on this DM but I think the saddest is, why wouldn't you want to hide keys in an image yourself?? that's the fun part! I hid something in an image for Swords Against and sure the illo looks like shit but I got so much deep pleasure doing it

"I'm entitled to whatever I want whenever I want it for any reason and I don't care what satisfying these urges does to me or the world" well okay dude, seems like there's something deeper going on here, but that's just my take
