[image description: 3 images, the first a display of a book with multiple copies, two on stands, and a few splayed across the table in front. the second image is the front cover titled "where we are & where we should be: shaping a future for trans young people" the cover image is of 5 people holding banners with the title on. the 3rd image is the back cover, which reads "A guide for trans, non-binary and gender queer people to help navigate through life and the systems around them as well as educating others on the experiences and truths of trans people. Whether you are questioning your gender identity or wondering what being trans even means, this book is for you! From accessing trans health care, being an ally exploring your identity and getting answers about who you are, this incredible guidebook will hold your hand through it all and show you the safest most accessible ways to being your true self (and supporting people in your life to do the same). In a world full of systems that can be a maze to navigate, especially as a marginalised person, we have got your back and are clearing the way for simple support. Take a look inside and feel your tense shoulders relax because the answers you've been looking for have found you" end id]

So here's a cool project that some very cool and incredible people and I have been working on!!

I've been working with our publication team with the non profit organisation Comics Youth since 2020 (one of the few good things that happened that year lol) as one of the illustrators- the other being rowanfrewin on instagram whose awesome work can be seen on the cover here! If you want to see what I've done though, guess you'll have to buy it >:3c

It's so incredible to see this finally printed and I cant wait to hold it in my hands omg. If you (or someone you know) are trans, nonbinary, questioning, or an ally then I highly reccomend checking this book out!!

#trans #transgender #nonbinary #booklr #lgbtq #i am so fucking excited #and cannot wait to have a copy in my hands. soon #i'm also going to be selling some copies of this book in person at markets in september #at pride comic art festival in bristol and also lakes international comic art festival in the lake district #unless i run out at pridecaf #so will not (yet?) be selling them online so if you want one #go get one there! #but yeah i helped make a book!!! #fucking wild one day youre making shitty homestuck fanart and 10 years later you're a published illustrator

If Dickens and I hadn't found the Monkees reruns on TV this afternoon my whole day would be trash

#tales from diana #ive made up my mind im at LEAST not subbing again at the high school for the rest of september #vibes are simply TOO CURSED #my SKELETON wants to run out of my SKIN when im in there #it is simply intolerable #and when im having one of those moments where smth is going wrong or i have nothing to do #at the high school they feel actively soul-crushing and i dont care much for the administration #sorry but my office ladies stacy and lisa at the elementary school are my besties #brenda from the high school... mariah carey voice i dont know her

Are there still plans for a part two or no? (No pressure either way, just wondering as it's been a month since the last update.)

There still are! We've been really busy irl and haven't had as much time as we were hoping to to get things together, but we've been slowly getting the stuff to at least start Round 2's nomination period! I was hoping to get that together sometime this weekend, no promises, but I'm hoping to try!

#irl's been really stressful lately so most of our free time has just been trying to decompress and care for each other in the headspace #BUT! even tho running this blog can be stressful sometimes its a nice little escape from the irl stuff #i want to get the nominations out soon and maybe close them end of september? we'll see #we're gonna be SWAMPED in october BUT im hoping that again this blog is a nice escape from that XD #mod jetstorm #... sort of. we need to update the mod list. we um- we kinda had another split back in august... oops

[withleeknow]

you guys :(

#the feedback for wt6 is so nice what the hell #i haven't had this in a whiiile thank you :( #this blog mostly runs on queue throughout the day but i will slowly reply to all the feedback! #just wanted to pop up and be a little emo for a sec #so i guess this means people here are vibing with my brand of angst 😂 #good to know. we're gonna expand on that in the future lol #jeeeeez i haven't felt like this since september since obs #anywhomst thank u appreciate u <3 #jen rambles

Me: Can I put a second hard drive in my laptop?

My dad: No, they don't leave space for that in laptop cases.

Me: But I have two hard drives in my old laptop.

My dad: :| Your old laptop is a Lenovo ThinkPad. It's basically not even a laptop. You can't be judging other laptops by that standard.

#im hoping after i copy some data off that laptop i can wipe it and maybe install linux on it #its an older laptop 2014 i think but i offered it to my sister if we could get it running windows again and she said she didnt want it #although she ought to have taken it and i might make it a birthday present after all #but if i dont i think i could get some mileage out of it with a linux os #which as far as i can tell can run all the windows apps i use just fine probably #maybe with the assistance of third party apps #but still #anyhow thats a consideration for another day #the problem at hand is. one of the hard drives in that laptop is 500gb #which is more storage than i have on any other device #i have absolutely no idea where im going to copy all this data to #(i legit have no idea whats wrong with it it was a sturdy little computer.) #(but in september of 2020 it decided it wasnt gonna take an update and i havent been able to get it to update since) #(and it is naturally completely unusable)

"completed" side order (got the credits roll and currently have four developer logs), some thoughts about the gameplay + lore under the cut 👍

i really enjoyed playing side order! i felt that a lot of my experiences in salmon run carried over with having to assess situations and maneuver around large mobs of enemy. so it's not much of a surprise to me that the gameplay structure really scratches an itch in my brain...!

i've played side order for around 10 hours so far (5 hour sessions each)... it wasn't intentional, but i really felt that each run taught me something about the chips/specials and i couldn't help but want to give another try again... (and i do appreciate that the game does allow for breaks between runs, even if i didn't utilize it this time around!)

the only thing i didn't like gameplay-wise (so far) was the weighted rates for certain chips depending on palette, i didn't particularly enjoy my run with charger (even though it's my favorite weapon class), but it could've just been bad rng giving me chips that weren't that fun/interesting...? there's some modifications that i want to explore, but it can be hard to do that with the weighted rates.

that said, i personally think the developers did an excellent job of blending together splatoon's mechanics/objectives with the rougelike style of games! i definitely want to play more sometime, there's still a lot of lore, chips, and palettes i've yet to see. i think it's a breath of fresh air from the other singleplayer parts, but i also recognize that it might not be for everyone (the structure of side order inherently requires a lot of patience and endurance).

as for the story and lore bits, i really liked the framework of the memverse! i do think that some of my affection for it stems from the fact that it has some parallels to persona games (i legit messaged a friend saying "omg it's like apathy syndrome but for splatoon"). but i think side order's a pretty fun follow up to octo expansion, i like that there's potential closure for sanitized octolings and whatever happens to the deepsea metro afterwards. i think it's a pretty cool basis for ocs which is nice!

the bits of character interaction were nice too, pearl and marina are endearing and lovely as always (they are so in love)! deep cut reporting on the side order things before/after the campaign was really funny too, i really liked it (especially after watching the nintendo live 2024 concert).

i think i found the story more satisfying than rotm- the stakes made... more sense to me, but also the setup was just, really interesting to me (persona fan moment). i'll need to check more of the dev logs when i unlock them and reread some things, but, overall, really enjoyable!

anyway, the short of it: side order was fun for me because the gameplay scratches the grinding itch in my brain (salmon run player moment), and also i just like the premise of the memverse because i'm a persona fan and it reminds me of that. LOL.

#lizzy speaks #not tagging this with things because i don't want to be perceived by a wider amount of people outside of my followers lol #i had a pretty positive impression of side order though ^^ and wanted to document my thoughts somewhere #now that i got side order credits roll. time to go back to playing reload... im in september about to fight arcana hermit #it makes me happy to enjoy the games i play. side order was a worthwhile purchase for me!!! #i wonder if anyone would get into splatoon through side order specifically in the same way that OE brought in a lot of people #i'm not sure how new people would adjust to side order's gameplay tbh some of the floors felt difficult for me- #even though i play the game a lot. but i think there's plenty of features/mechanics to help make future runs easier #and rougelike as a genre really emphasizes the importance of patience and learning new patterns and assessing what situations you can handl #i hope everyone has been enjoying their february :) this month has been awesome to me #i wonder when the persona nuis are going to ship out... i need ryoj in my home NOW!!! ok bye. enjoy weekend everyone! #EDIT: changed complete to be in quotations bc im aware im technically not finished with it LOL #thank you anon for bringing that to my attention i forgot to specify haha. much appreciated!

Ayo this you??

Context uH

A friend threw me into the uni discord and I was looking around to see if someone played Rain World (no results D:) BUT then your thingo came up ultrakill and I was like..mmm close enough

And then your only post was a Tumblr link

And the cogs in my brain were turning real hard and It took so much scrolling to find that video on the tag but LiKe

Hello???? You like robot??? Machine??? Have you heard of Rain World?? Massive city sized semi-organic supercomputer???

^^^ Live footage of me reading this ask on a tumblr break from my work

...Needless to say I'm never posting a tumblr embed in a discord server again ^^;

but yeah. hi! What I post on this blog stays here, no one outside of here and my immediate friend group knows about my little weirdo blog, welcome to the club! wahhahsdhshsasah

I've never heard of Rain World up until now! I did mayhaps. took a little peak through your blog. and looked at the steam page for the game and it definitely looks right up my alley, I don't know why I hadn't heard about it up until now!

I'll definitely have to check it out at some point! I'm trying (and failing miserably) to save towards smth right now, so mayhaps after the term ends ^^;

Thanks for the (Insane, I was literally sitting in the library head on hands after reading it) ask!

#I think you might have sent me a message??? A while ago??? #I ignored it because of the immediate lack of context...I've heard some stuff about clicking messages like that ^^; #I don't talk all that often on the discord server....but between you and me I've been thinking about posting in the tf2 channel #I don't play competitive BUT I do play casual. a lot. #That ultrakill video really must of took forever to find it was all the way back in September ^^; #I'm kinda running out of things to say wahhhh. uh. I reblog and post about Ultrakill a lot here. and other things. like liking computers #Stick around if you want :thumbsup: or whatever. wahsashasdhashasyasho8hosad #Android Answers #Android.txt #Okay I just checked maybe I'm misremembering the message I get an unbelievable amount of bot spam #asjsajdsjsd

i think it's getting to be time

#for baldurs gate 3 #i played for a few days in like September and couldn't continue #maybe ill give it another go soon if i can build the energy.... id like to #i made it through like the druids grove #and i was already running out of steam by that point #i think one of the last things i did was having to save scum the bridge encounter with the githyanki?? #it was like what do you want me to do here ive done everything to this point and am still too weak to fight these guys #so i had to give laezel like guidance and bank on a good roll with the old guy i think #i can't remember if the giant spider cave was before or after that #i jumped down into the underdark and got a glimpse of it before splatting lol #love that the game lets you do that #dnds got to have like a featherfall type spell or effect sooner or later right? #anyways yeah sometimes i remember oh yeah there's like genuinely a new rpg for the first time in FOREVER #i wanna explore and experience it ;_; #well... explore whatever the dumbass patch notes writer didn't spoil?? they had spoiler markers but randomly didn't bother marking some?? #that took the last of the wind out of my sails back then hehe #and i was already pushing it

I haven't had any motivation to work on Interlude since I wrapped up chapter 4 and wrote the outline for whatever's going to come next but today it was really hot, humid, and then it thunderstormed and then Whitechapel released a music video for my favorite track off their latest album and I was finally inspired again

#textpost #Chapters 1-4 need edited now that I know Begin takes place in September and not like friggin June lmfao #But I need to get the chapter 5 idea out before it runs away again #Also I like to think I've gotten a bit better at writing since I was working on the early chapters of this so I wouldn't mind- #-doing another round of quick edits again anyway #Actually what I REALLY want to do is edit the *actual* Begin novel because I want to get it hand-bound for its translation's birthday xoxo #Still need to find someone that does hand-binding commissions and see what it'll cost though but this is a long ways off yet

Remember the Name by Fort Minor but it's a shounen op

Aka. You Say Run (BNHA) x Remember the Name, and as a person who's never watched BNHA, to me that theme is now permanently associated with MCC9 Blue Bats :D

#to quote fruit any blue batters #ria.edit #blue9 #tagging it bc they're both blue9 songs lol #listen 2020 blue9 fancreations altered my brain chemistry etc etc #you say run goes with everything #the bridge is a little finicky couldnt get it to sync well #this is better than my other attempted blue9 mix 'all i want for september is the underdog'

[lesbienneanarchiste]

It's September 1st, you know what that means!

Me on my way to make an overly ambitious Victober TBR and then not wait until October to start reading the books so I spend two months reading Victorian literature instead of just one

#i just love victorian shit im so sorry for having good taste 😩 #my annual Pickwick read is gonna start Today tho and probably will get finished before October so im not counting it for that #but still. we have Gaskell on deck. Amy Levy. Anthony Trollope. maybe even Oscar Wilde maybe. #i want to read some more short work so stories and plays etc but we'll see #every year i run out of steam by mid October but its bc i start getting hyped in September 💀 #disgruntled octopus

BROS I CAME HOME FROM WORK TO FIND THAT SOMEONE HAD GIVEN US A WHOLE ASS TELESCOPE‼️‼️‼️ FOR FREE‼️‼️‼️

#hi thank you I love it I love you #I’ve never met them before but apparently they’re an old couple my mom runs into a lot when she takes the dog for a walk in the morning #and she said she told them about the eclipse last week ans the star party in September #and they were like oh we have a telescope we don’t use do you want it? #:O !!!!????!!!!!!!! #bros….. it’s so beautiful…… #it’s on the smaller side but who cares it’s free #it’s a cassegrain and motorized so it’s fancy too #alt azimuth mount and the tripod looks decently stable #and it came with like 8 eyepieces a Barlow and a set of color filters #basically all we need now is a polarizing filter tbh #THIS IS CRAZY #I was pissed off about that guy at work but this just made my day #I need to thank them #.txt #have to bring it to a club meeting to have someone look at it to get it collimated and stuff before we use it #Oogh I’m excited. now we have two telescopes :) #the one we borrowed from the club for the star party was really fun too. that one was a reflector. and the one we already have is a refracto #*refractor. I’ve never used a cassegrain before :0

going to buy new running shoes today let's hope no one is mean to me at the store 👍

#I don't know exactly what I want I'm TORN bc both my pairs r totally dead #I have one pair of Saucony guides that I used to really dislike and don't wear that much but I've had them for two years probably #And the pair of brooks I bought in August of last year but have done almost all my miles on from September to may.... #So they're both well over 400mi and I'm having this sporadic it band pain which rlly means i need at least one new pair #But I can only buy one #I'm also having such a shit running year it's not even funny #Like I'm just doing a basic 20-25mi a week no real long run I'm so lazy #Definitely not training for a fall marathon I just don't have the motivation #I guess I should find a half for some motivation but like #Ugh. #This sucks I am still running most days and I don't mind the runs themselves I just have NO MOTIVATION #O yea also i can't take weekend days off. #I'm playing fris it's not like I'm not active it's just.... Urgh #I think im going to replace the Sauconys bc they're older. I do love the brooks adreneline like crazy tho #Maybe there will be something reasonable on the sale rack 👍 #Tetrapod runs

Guys, I’m getting so excited for the Inklings Challenge.

#doing some blog housekeeping in preparation for the 9/1 launch #finding stock photos for an autumn header brought back so many feelings from last year #the autumnal atmosphere of excitement #the creative choices made at the spur of the moment to get this up and running as fast as possible #the joy of outlining the rules of the game that other people will get to play with me #it's so fun and something i don't think i've experienced since elementary school #setting it in autumn wound up being an excellent choice because it fits so much of that back-to-school excitement #that once elevated this time of year for me #now i want to look up so many stock photos and create so many prompts #(can't i just give fun picture and moodboard prompts? those always work for me.) #(and i am yearning for the low-stress mildly-creative exercise of just browsing through pretty stock photos) #still not sure if i can follow through with the september writing exercises possibility #(unless anyone has writing exercises they want to share?) #and i'm a bit nervous about how the symbols requirement will be received but i just gotta go for it and hope people can get creative #also it is just wild to me how quickly this was thrown together last year #i posted last year's announcement on 9/25! #for a challenge that started on the first! #absolutely insane that it went as well as it did under those conditions #i'm hoping this year will only be benefitted by the additional time instead of losing momentum over the longer sign-up period
