Wishing nothing but the best for you. Hope you can get out, get the space and time you need to grow and thrive. Be kind to yourself!

Start saving yourself first! You can fit everyone else's air mask once you're wearing your own!

SPACE WEATHER!! Re-orienting magnetic field lines!

I know it'd be far from a classic example, but are you telling me this isn't a case of "and so they were both bottoms"?

Talking with cis people is explaining that gender is bullshit. Talking with trans people is justifying bullshit with gender.

Sometimes, burger is healing.

but also that I'm in turn holding other people emotionally hostage by waiting for this validation, and now I'm deconstructing how I communicate in every way, and that I should probably say goodbye with a middle finger for a while.

It's not a silver bullet answer, but recognise that you're onto something, explore broadening your reach and opportunities in a way that suits you and your interests, and keep having fun with it!

It may seem like you're stuck around the 300's, but your month-to-month average has been consistently trending upwards. Max viewership is subtly increasing as well. Real stagnation actually shows reducing numbers, so any sustained growth at all is significant progress.

I enjoy that this comic doesn't need a B-side!

Variably comfy, cute, sexy, and funny, but all of it precious.

I could list of the sins inherent in this message, but they wouldn't get it.

Oblivion mini-detox going well, I hope? I never had the same relationship with Skyrim as I did the other games in the series, but there's nothing quite like it.

Cute fluffy demon girls dancing on rainbows!

I have nothing but respect for her because of course. But the challenges we are facing in this cultural moment is not the *result* of the progress that has been made. The progress was made in spite of this societal trend. The trans, gays, and minorities have always been the first and worst victims.

Best moment in the movie, no doubt.

The STALKER series would probably suit you! Survival horror FPS in sandbox maps. I haven't played 2 yet, but the earlier games have late 00's janky charm. You could probably start with 2, but they're all great!

Nothing at all.

Nothing like self-love for allowing you to follow personal care routines when the world is falling down.

But if you have that energy, or once you've recovered it, rather than despairing do what you can to channel that anger and frustration into something positive. Make a nuisance of yourself - demand better from your representatives. Show up to demonstrations, and tell your reps that you support them.

If like me you've been feeling shocked, hurt, betrayed, and lost, please be kind to yourself as a priority. Your safety and happiness is the most important thing right now.

Now that I've had my social media rant, I'll continue collecting my thoughts and compose a response highlighting my specific concerns, and look into what more I can do for advocate for the rights of myself and other trans people in my area.

But my concern is not that he would willingly legislate my rights away. It's that he doesn't seem to appreciate the true nature of the challenges we are facing.

My MP in his email does recognise that trans and LGBT people deserve dignity and respect, and protection from discrimination and harassment. He is aware of his constituents' concerns, and I welcome his assurance the Government will seek a trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban.
