Hello, I’m Silas, and I’m a costume fabricator and alterations specialist based out of LA. I’ve worked on The Mandolorian, Fableman, Shazam 2, and others, and I’m barely staying afloat.
I’m a trans person, as well as a hard worker and lover of my craft. But things are dire.

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.
115 Democrats just voted to codify the first federal trans segregation law.

Y’all I just love my cat. So so much. It took us nearly a decade for him to appreciate cuddling up as a little spoon and me to know what he liked and tolerated and there’s nothing better than waking up with him every day.

Went through The Works of Vermin by @hironennes.bsky.social and I have to read through it again- has some incredible twists and turns. After reading Leech I cannot wait to hear what they write next.
Also, the narrators on both audiobooks knock it out of the park.

Fell in love with lolita fashion. Found out via cosplay. Lolita is fucking expensive. Figured I'd make stuff myself. Got involved with high school theater to get better at sewing. Went to community college, hated everything. Realized I was a guy. Applied to art school during recession. /contd

NEWS: House Appropriations Committee Republicans released their spending bill for Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. The legislation would prohibit taxpayer dollars for any type of gender-affirming care for transgender people. This would include programs like Medicaid

Started You Weren’t Meant To Be Human by Andrew Joseph White and…congrats, you have finally written a horror novel that hits the spot of “this is fucked up enough that I cannot recommend it readily” and “this is so good I can’t stop” and I have a lot of thoughts. And will have more.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
