One very good reason to listen to and support one of my favorite podcasts, Kill James Bond: besides being hosted by three trans Brits who hilariously and thoughtfully discuss espionage movies and films with themes about masculinity, they are all about labor rights. They are doing a Season of Solidarity where they’ll be discussing only non-Hollywood films until the strike is over. They also posted this to their Patreon:

“THE MOVIES ARE ON STRIKE!

SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are both on strike for a number of reasons, from pay for streaming residuals, to the rights to own your own appearance, to the right to not have AIs trained off your work.

So if you've got a few spare pennies, why not chip in to help keep movies from becoming Shit Forever.

And if you're in the UK, the UCU could still do with some help

Everyone please go listen to the discussion of the Cass Review / Cass Report here! It (that particular discussion) starts at 23:02.

I was really excited to get @theabigailthorn's thoughts and perspective.

This collar makes me a bit nervous because it seems perfectly designed so someone could grab it. But I have a cat and she would absolutely do that.

Is Abi doing click bate with the yoko tweet? Like it looks like she's trying to get people to subscribe to nebula saying she did yellow face. Im not asian so maybe it isnt yellow face but im trans and usually non trans people playing trans people in movies is a hot topic issue. That seems pretty bad. Maybe its a poor joke cause no ones on twitter for dog pilling anymore. I'm pretty high i should probably draft this until sober.

current coping mechanisms for dealing with the reality of trans healthcare in the uk include:

looking at the wait times for first appointments with the nhs (bad idea) (it’s years) (the clinic is not accepting referrals)

researching private options again (bad idea) (i cannot even begin to imagine affording this right now or any time soon)

watching abi thorn’s ‘i emailed my doctor 133 times’ for the millionth time (if i say it’s for catharsis it feels less like shouting into the void)

yearning

anger (self explanatory)

becoming even more incentivised to pursue transition (despite the agonies) because at least it’ll be my own personal fuck you to a government that wants us miserable or dead

#here we see a vent post cleverly disguised as an exercise in writing #i’m angry and i do not feel kind today #the abi thorn / philosophy tube video is essential viewing to me if you’re at all interested in learning about uk trans healthcare btw #i’ll also include shon faye’s ‘the transgender issue’ in that essentials list too actually #sorry for not posting fandom i'm in a spiral today #i'm just. the system is unfair and unkind and there is nothing i can do but watch as it tears itself apart #i'm serious about the spite part though. i may not have much hope but what i do have is spite in abundance

[rotteneldritchhorror]

Abigail calling purposely using they/them to misgender trans women “the silencer on the gun that is he/him” and that’s such an apt metaphor

i finished Juniper & Thorn and i liked it better than The Wolf & the Woodsman. i think ava reid’s style fits a constrained setting/plot better than an adventure across a kingdom and back

the unfortunate thing about sports podcasts hosted by men is that unnecessary sexism or transphobia can happen at any time

What we seek, however, is not power over people, but the power of control of our own destiny:

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

What is the appropriate way to behave towards creators you have a parasocial relationship with?

I sometimes think about what would happen if I saw like you or Abigail Thorn in a club or smth. Like obviously I'd like to flirt but no way that could ever be a healthy interaction. I think the best answer I've settled on is that if there seems to be possible to just get in a quick word I'd offer to buy your next round like "hey, big fan, can I pay for your next round? Have a good evening"

Of course even that presumes I have some sort of right to your attention. What's a girl to do

I can’t speak for Abi but I’d just like to say that I always appreciate women flirting with me

Creating a Thematic Bard

Through Bardic Magical Secrets, any Bard can pick up any 6-8 spells of their choosing depending on their subclass. I thought I’d go through some thematic options for a Bard to choose from to cater to different themes and archetypes the Bard aspires to do. For each, I will offer the 8 spells I would recommend if you were to play as a Lore Bard, and if you pick a different subclass, just elimate two of the options.

 And of course, you can always mix and match. Going for a Fire Dragon theme? Mix the Pyrodancer and A Dance of Dragons spell lists. As an example:

LOVE AMONG THE DRAGONS 6th Dragon’s Breath, Fireball 10th Flame Strike, Summon Draconic Spirit 14th Investiture of Flame, Draconic Transformation 18th Illusory Dragon, Meteor Swarm

These are all the bard themes I could think of, but if you can think of some more that I missed, or have better suggestions for some of my choices, let me know your own thematic magical secrets builds. Obviously, these were made with the Lore Bard in mind, since it gets the most magical secrets, but I’m sure some synergize better with other bard types, such as Song of War with the College of Valor. I just used Lore as the default. How well do these magical secrets builds work for you?

tbh i think abi thorn is a pretty good example for what i am talking abt wrt assuming gender stuff. like she had a year where she wasnt publicly out, but very clearly transitioning in appearance but also there were things like not including her deadname in titlecards, playing more feminine characters, there was even a video where she was playing an elderly man character but it straight up looked like a drag king look. like at that point i knew. OBVIOUSLY i didnt say anything to her and i think some ppl did ask her if she was trans and she replied basically like "hey dont ask me this". but like on my priv acct and whatever, i was lke cautiously they/themming ykwim? but then wrt dan its different bc she was Publicly voicing an exploration of gender. again im not gonna be like @ dnlhwl are u a trans wom lol cuz thats just rude. but i dont think that pointing out that they have been publicly exploring gender is an invasion of privacy.
