Harry Potter and the Transexual Menace

Rewatching Chernobyl, just finished The Happiness of All Mankind, had to hug my dog after.

@mosquitochaser.bsky.social proposed! I'm so happy to have a life with this wonderful woman ❤️

Very happy to have been asked to contribute. Between this and speaking at the Mississippi Academy of Sciences, this week has been pretty good :)

My newest piece! It's truly awesome to see the ways that people are resisting these historically discriminatory laws.

This is an old friend of my partner's who needs support with her gender affirming care, donate if you can, or atheist share?

Replaying Prey (2017) and I would give so much to be able to erase the memory of it from my head temporarily just for the feeling of experiencing it for the first time again.

Quite proud of this one! Also this'll be the first of more regular reported pieces by me!

Assigned was on the ground and in the Discord, reporting on the historic return to the streets of foundational trans rights activist group Transexual Menace, @transexualmenace.bsky.social @valorievandieman.bsky.social has our story, with photos and additional reporting by Simon Feisthauer Fournet.

I was supposed to take a flight in a couple weeks, but clearly that's not safe right now. The alternative is a nine hour drive each way and I am not excited about that.

Among the most important things right now, for those of us Americans who want to understand our world and our place in it, is to shift from understanding ourselves as citizens of a democracy to members of a captive, restive, rebellious public an autocrat is seeking to consolidate control over.

I'm one of the hosts, come check us out!

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed and shared, I can't fully express my gratitude to you all for your help in making this goal in just one day! I just got off the phone with the electrologist in town and I'll be getting back to appointments starting this coming week!

Oh my gosh thank you everyone ❤️ I'm already so close to my goal thanks to all of your amazing support!

I finally got word on Wednesday that I can go ahead with scheduling my surgery! Its looking like it will be over the summer. Trouble is, I haven't finished my electrolysis and can't afford to in time. If anyone could contribute to help me out with this, I would be endlessly grateful!

I'm so happy our show is going well! :)

I'll be live 6-8pm eastern for another Assigned twitch stream along with Valorie (@valorievandieman.bsky.social), Alyssa (@alyssaur.bsky.social), and Kia. We're gonna be talking about trans news and all the scary stuff, but in as gentle and loving a way as possible.

HEY EVERYONE: Start getting hyped for our Monday Twitch stream, 6pm eastern, and for the commencement of regular Monday 6pm streams from Assigned Media!!! This coming Monday will feature Evan Urquhart (@evanurquhart.bsky.social) helping you understand what's going on in trans news.

Also today we've got Clippings for January 2025! Clippings by Piper Bly @piperbomb.bsky.social www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

If you don't have many transgender people in your life, you might be aware generally of the anti-trans bigotry coming from the Trump administration, but not aware of the extreme details and the immediate danger. Good sources to follow include @erininthemorning.com and @assignedmedia.org. (1/3)

It's just wave after wave of awfulness these last few days and engaging with it for work is exhausting. I'm gonna stream some Sekiro tonight to get my mind off things, so if you want to come turn off your brain for a couple hours and hang out, join me on twitch at 7 CST. twitch.tv/duskywing

We are streaming again tomorrow! Join us on twitch for For The King 2 as well as periodic updates in the news. Stream will begin at 7:00PM EST and will be going for two hours. www.twitch.tv/assignedmedia

Continuing Sekiro on stream tonight! I'll be on at 7 CST. Twitch.tv/duskywing

Today marks four years on hormones, and despite the various challenges of the last few years, it cannot be overstated just how much happier I am today than I was before.

I'm gonna stream some Sekiro tonight at 7:00 CST, so come check that out if you'd like! twitch.tv/duskywing

The stream went so well!

Come watch our stream to avoid thinking about the news!

I need suggestions for good puzzles/puzzle toys/rainy work day enrichment items for high energy, extremely smart, strong jawed dogs.
