@KinkyLotus I’m a little ashamed to say Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure (~300 hours). I spent a lot of the pandemic putting on muscle that I now get to watch dissassemble into fat.

Almost had a second cup of coffee immediately after the first. Rookie mistake. 😝

Plucked from the archives.

I had just come out to my closest friends a week or two earlier on this same trip, so the male/female split of the standee was of the standee was what caught my eye.

We had to walk back to the car for my equipment, because hauling 30 pounds of gear on my back wasn’t how we did our evening ambles. Worth it.

I remember it was well dark, and getting the movements right to have both the castle and the standee in focus took some work.

The negative was processed semi-stand in Rodinal at 1/100 dilution for an hour.

The castle is just barely overexposed. I shot two sheets, and were it possible for me to keep things better organized while traveling, I could have processed the two independently and let the second sheet soak for less time. Then again, highlights are the first to clear. 🤷‍♀️

"Why be openly trans if you pass well enough that people can't tell?"

Because there's nothing wrong with being trans. Being seen is a way of fighting against the bigots who don't want us to be seen or heard.

Because others like me see that they aren't alone.

Because I lost so much time due to a false image of what trans was. Scared and confused by media portrayals, stuck thinking that I'd just be 'an ugly man in a dress'

I needed to see and hear real trans people to see myself.

@thekimmy @nerdybutcute I mean, I’m laughing in public. Nicely played. 👏

@JenWojcik Personally, I _love_ when I can do this. 😊

@crutlefish Looks right on point. But yours has a speaker!!

@crutlefish It is exactly that. It’s a Whistle. If Chibi is ever lost, or abducted, she demands rescue ops immediately: a parachuted strike force, a snack-sized bag of pretzels, etc.

@h5e If we encourage her, she’ll just get more ambitious: fancier coffee, more squeakies, a larger secretsry pool. Bossier dog. 🫣

Chibi is boss. Bring her her coffee. Bring her her squeaky ball. Type up her homework. Bossy. Bossy. Boss dog.

@JenWojcik I’m torn on whether this is better or worse than those who put books backwards on their shelves, so the spines face inward, for purposes of cleanliness and order.

Obviously, those who do both need medical intervention and most likely someone to read them stories before bed.

New study finds "no substantial evidence of any biological advantages for trans women competing in elite women's sport."

"'What threatens women's elite sport, for cis and trans women, is not trans women, but is rather misogyny in the form of underfunding, non-parity in participation and leadership, inequitable sport space allocation/access, and a range of sporting opportunities not afforded to women...in equitable ways.'"

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
