My job monday thru friday is building and organizing shit like This.

There's a reason I'm the Cabinet Derg.

One of the toughest things about my gender journey was that the Answers just raised more questions.

Also, it opened up a Prestige Gender that wasn't really accessible before, but also provided Physical and Health reasons for transition.

So I'm gonna feel weird going to the Gender Doctor saying "Yeah, socially I'm fine and working on Fae Pirate King, as a Gender, but like... This body wants to run on Estrogen."

Thanks to the power of science, transitioning has never been easier!

Also.

Anyone else going thru their eveyday lives like they've got the "They Live" Glasses on?

Gender, HRT, Etc 

I'm in a weird spot, in terms of gender.

In terms of the Performative aspect, I'm well versed in Both traditional gender roles.

In terms of the Supernatural aspect, I'm something like a Universal Shaman.

In terms of Biology, my body seems to like Estrogen.

In terms of the Social aspect? I'm Plural, my relative gender co-ordinate is context-sensitive.

I really wish somewhere along the line there was some kind of Deciding Vote. As it is, it's a weird mix of None Of The Above and All Of The above.

Wait, shit, am I bisexual?

I thought I was pansexual.

...I mean I'm plural, so I'll be visible on "It's Complicated" day

Also, stay tuned, I'm going to be making a prototype Control Panel for a bunch of my simulator games.

Food Review (+) 

So, Cabot makes a triple cream greek yogurt in Vanilla Bean flavor.

Adding frozen blueberries to it basically turns it into Ice Cream with Protein in.

That you can have for Breakfast.

Also, I'm a Shaman, there's gonna be hot takes. Not Rasputin level outrage material, just some Bad Opinions.

Do feel free to challenge me on them, I need to keep properly calibrated as to not end up a Rasputin-type.

When times were Good, I fretted about Materialism.

Rejoice! the very poverty we bemoan saves us from the vapidity of our Parents decadent generation.

That being said, most of us would spend the cash on Food, medicine, and donations to our social circles at this point. It sucks.

Long term? I think it might be what Cures our sociopathic society.

I have some sympathy for liberals, in the sense that I understand change can be scary

However, liberals have HAD the power to make the world demonstrably better,

on SEVERAL occasions,

WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO DO ANYTHING REVOLUTIONARY,

and they simply chose not to

Government, last month: It is your PATRIOTIC DUTY to Go To The Pub and we're giving you Government Approved Discounts on Going To The Pub and Going To The Pub isn't affected by bans on visiting other households you should totally Go To The Pub

Government, now: What the fuck were you thinking? Why did you Go To The Pub now we have to shut the pubs again this is all your fault you fools.

Thoughts on peoples' self-defined politics, especially self-identified centrists 

One thing Bob Altemeyer wrote about in The Authoritarians (link: theauthoritarians.org/) was that people who scored moderately to low on the "right-wing authoritarian" (RWA) scale, when asked how they'd prefer to scale, had a preference to be low. But people high on the scale said they'd prefer to score in the middle.

Altemeyer talks about how that's because a driving force of high-RWA people is to be average, a regular person.

I think about this a lot, especially because it seems a lot of self-described centrists tend to hold a lot of right-wing views.
