"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

Remember, from nowon, every donation you make is a stone in a shelter for my family to protect them from the winter.

We've lost a sense of security since losing our home.

I hope you don't let us down and abandon us during this most difficult time we're going through.

If you see this, post a 🐰

design for a jackalope alien side character I ultimately abandoned. They've got blue skin, a long blue ponytail, an overgrown yellow undercut, tiny little antlers, and a terrible attitude

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

The Traitor & The Wretch is a grim fantasy with a surprisingly tender romance between two minor villains trying their best to outrun their terrible fates.

Written by me
Illustrated by @skulkingfoxes.bsky.social
Cover art by @fusspot.rip
With editing by @cknightwrites.bsky.social

A trope map showing the cover of The Traitor & The Wretch, with the two main characters. It reads: "Minor villains dungeon-crawling their way to a happy ending." "On the run from an entire kingdom that wants them both dead." "This guy helped raise a Chaos God to bring about the end times (he's not coping well)." "This guy tried to kill the Prophesized Hero (it ended badly)." "Enemies-to-Lovers" and "Mutated cave creatures! Undead horrors! Endless pitch black caves! Somehow, it's a romance!"

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

I'm a big fan of Hassan.

A panel from HAWKGIRL: ONCE UPON A GALAXY by Jadzia Axelrod, Amancay Nahuelpan, Adriano Lucas, Alex Guimarães, Carrie Strachan, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou where Hawkgirl looks down at one of her Nth metal feather (as seen in the reflection of the feather) and says "Who's anyone?" Her word balloon is mirror in the feather's reflection.

🚨Food and other essentials are being sacrificed more and more to make this goal. She is getting to that point every night where one essential is chosen over another to get through the weeks. The halfway point is right there. Please help this next step to stability. P-PAL @/shockofthequeen #mutualaid

They did this to my father in 1970.
He wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to his mother. 55 years later, same abuse and injustice.

What the Twitter takeover did so effectively was fracture the way we get our news. If, for example, I want to get in-depth updates on Sudan I still check in with Twitter as that's where a lot of the biggest accounts are. There's no one-stop shop anymore.
