Leave a comment for the FCC, they want to warn ppl when a show contains a trans character. Your comment doesn't have to be long, you can literally just say it's discriminatory, offensive and absurd. In the first box put: 19-41. More info in this thread.

just got back from the casper store

my new zine, Shareware Made Me Trans, is now out!! ~6000 words (and lots of images) on the 90s games that shaped my gender identity, including windows 3.1 amazons, sapphic crpg romances, and my own teenage fetish games. link in reply with excerpts and free community copies for trans readers

saw oklou and had a nice time with my friends :)

game of the year incoming

hey guys - i'm in a pretty dire housing situation right now. i have to move at the end of the month (lease expires) but prior plans w/ people completely fell apart & i'm back to square one. i'm looking for a room in Brooklyn, trans friendly, 1100 a month max, not a temporary sublet. plz let me know.

i overthought this :/

depression got me today BUT i took a nice walk through the rose garden

the elheim section of unicorn overlord is like the diva convention. after every battle i get new divas. it’s incredible

hi. so, things aren't going well right now. i need help. gofund.me/2ccf3c914 if you're in a precarious situation yourself, then don't worry about me. get back on your own feet first. if you're not in danger, i'd appreciate whatever aid you can offer. thank you.

fka twigs show was cool (strobe warning)

In the spirit of trans visibility, lemme just plug my ongoing project to document as many pre-2010 games as possible that had a trans person on the dev team. You might be surprised by what's on there. There's games going right back to the sixties! dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictranslist

if you feel like helping a trans person out, please consider a paid sub or a one-time donation to Stop Caring. I make no money on this. On the contrary, I am losing money. I am okay with that so long as I can pay my writers (relatively) well for guest spots. www.stopcar.ing#/portal/supp...

i’m putting taste into 13 sentinels and chowing the fuck down on yakisoba pan

PLEASE help a dear trans woman friend of mine escape domestic violence. Please donate and/or Share Widely. Doing whatever you can would truly mean the world to me. 🙏🫀 gofund.me/8b8eb9bd3
