@byttyrs In my case it was TERFY aunts telling me to my face that if you're born male, you can't be a Witch or use that sorta magic.
Shows what they know. I specialize in Unicorn Rehab now.
@chosafine I compost all of mine.
I can't believe I forgot to post Naux tinkering around in a mech here! It's SUCH A GOOD MECH too
re: covid-19, personal griping followed by hot take
@Thaminga It's the boomers freaking out because they've socially isolated themselves already and are a 'Vulnerable Population'
Their panic isn't just about their Health: It's over their 401k.
@mint@elekk.xyz Samuel R. Delany is a little known black author who's seminal work 'Nova' holds up even today as a piece of spectacular space-opera from an era dominated by White Men and includes modern-day diversity as well as themes applicable to today's issues.
Not specifically Young Adult, but then again neither is Dune. And yet I'd encourage anyone to read Both.

@lemememeringue If you're having these problems with all-or-nothing self esteem, it's the Root of this issue.
And it's more of a Memetic Condition than a Genetic one. It can be passed on thru trauma. I just had to dig out a bunch of bad personality traits out of a Long Dormant alter, who'd been made to feel so shit about what he is that he crawled into a Hole 20 years ago and tried to Die.
Gender, plurality
One of the issues with my Upbringing is that it left a part of me feeling decidedly transmasculine.
But in a 'I never wanted This' kinda way. Roshael is so much happier on HRT, He's Hypermasculine, sure...
But he started out wanting to be a Girl, and had that notion thoroughly squashed by Life, and hormonal profiles.
So now I've woke up part of me, got his trauma addressed, got his self-confidence back. This is Good.
The fact that he's something like Dragon Rasputin and Duke Nukem at the same time is a challenge however.
re: drug references
@orangelamp @Absolutely_Blakely@radical.town And counterfeit drugs under pharma patents are too.
I.E., Shire US inc. makes Adderall. A Dextroamphetamine. That's Legal because the federal government says it is.
Freelance labs making drugs are Illegal because the federal government says so.
It's all arbitrary.
re: mh (-)
@lemememeringue That can be a Lot of different issues, but it sounds a bit like NPD.
One by one, the stars went out.
"You know what's annoying?" he said.
"With the world ending? No, what?"
"That until it does, life goes on."
"Is that bad?"
"No, but... I still have to cook dinner, and wipe the kids' noses, and..."
"Mm."
They sat silent.
"Love your dumplings, tho."
