I am so close to finishing an art project that was intended to be a birthday gift for my wife for the last couple years and I just haven't been able to get it done in time.

Does anyone else struggle with the sort of insecurity where you have to go through a period of hating your art after the initial honeymoon period of "wow I did that?" excitement wears off, or is that just me?

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

Gender Affirming Care, when I came out in 2011 nothing was covered by health insurance so it was all out of pocket expense, I had to be diagnosed with a made up gender identity disorder to get hormone replacement therapy, surgeries were extremely rare and expensive.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But whatโ€™s something that youโ€™ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Resident Evil was mostly fun, scary at times, and hilarious at others. It wasn't a faithful adaptation which I kinda knew going in but I did really appreciate the ground level camera work and the uncomfortable closeness that the film forces the protag into. Definitely better than the previous films.

I wish they had kept the humor to just the main guy as it felt like a fun character trait but when the movie gets to the final part, I really didn't appreciate the almost slapstick irreverent and over the top goofiness of the scientists. I don't know why they couldn't just do it with a serious tone.

For what was otherwise a wild and tense horror movie with some tension relief delivered via Austin Abrams understandably losing his shit over everything, it really felt like the ending was a great outro for a comedy film. Just really out of place with the tone of the rest of the movie. Still fun!!

You would think as the zombie movie enjoyer and horror movie enthusiast that it would have been my suggestion to go see the new Resident Evil movie but nope it's my zombie hating, openly horror movie disliking wife lol

Campaign went well tonight, started with a fight against some tough samurai on a beach, before moving on to some RP in a makeshift village built on the beached corpse of a dead kaiju as the party weighed the decision to enter the belly of the beast to plunder what treasure no one else can claim.

It's still incredible to me that literally nobody censors anti trans slurs. We are the only minority group that this is apparently acceptable to do to, why the fuck is this allowed? How is this acceptable?

Iโ€™m a Texas voter and I just received what is probably the most disgusting election text in US history. Texas Republicans are so open about hating trans people theyโ€™re literally sending the t-slur to voters now. What the fuck.

This is genuinely the dumbest thing I've ever seen. We need to get orcas to fly. ๐Ÿซ

Democrats need this energy.

After another shooting and the raid on Ilhan Omar's home, Rep. Delia Ramirez says abolishing ICE isn't enough. She has introduced a bill to "dismantle" the entire Department of Homeland Security.

When the last out trans person is finally eradicated from society then and only then will all cis people proudly declare that they support transgender people, and our right to transition related healthcare and the right to live openly as our authentic selves.

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockersโ€”despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month โ€˜taperingโ€™ period. This is a complete betrayal.

Why do I, a lactose intolerant woman, continue to eat things that I know have dairy in them? The answer: I cannot be killed so easily.

National Coming Out Day is not a competition but I'm about to come out three times, watch this; I am a trans woman, I am pansexual, and I am lesbian married to another trans woman. Are you queer af like me? Show off what you got!

It's very disheartening that if you just post AI slop all day you get rewarded with thousands of followers, yet real artists struggle to build followings and community here.

Spider Noir was really good too! I'm a huge Spider-Man fan and a big fan of noir so it was right up my alley. Happy to see more artists refusing to work with AI!

It's been really hard for me to focus my energy and time on essentially what are passion projects, like my books, with everything that is going on. But I'm slowly plugging away at it, I've edited two chapters and I'm making progress on the drawing I'm doing for my wife's birthday coming up.

It's not just Andrews: 45 of the SC legislature's 47 Dems have an anti-trans voting record. - 11 voted for a sports ban (9 abstained) - 19 voted for a bathroom ban (6 abs.) - 30 voted for a prison GAC ban (14 abs.) - 3 voted for a youth GAC ban (6 abs.) South Carolina Dems have ALL abandoned us.

Looks like the Democratic candidate for US Senate in South Carolina, Annie Andrews, is pro-sports bans and pro-surgery bans for youth, which include top surgery and which have even been interpreted to include blocker and hormone implants. She's the latest anti-trans dem.

I knew we were in trouble when the response from cis people to the rise of political transphobia was "this only affects a tiny minority of people." It was a signal that they weren't going to refute the pseudoscience or attacks and instead just stop advocating for trans equality entirely.
