@AdalwinAmillion Start from the premise that a significant percentage of your user base is incapable of attaining the bodies they imagine themselves to best inhabit, assume that they're operating at least partially within the context that they live within a universe in which they do possess such bodies, and see how insane most of them really are.
Some, very. Others, much less than it seems. A few, more than is healthy.
@AdalwinAmillion Which website?
@noelle subtoot bad
@thefishcrow@cybre.space Well, regardless, I don't think you're any weirder than anyone else. Everyone is weird to someone else; there is no normal, no center. Be yourself, and revel in the tale of you.
@thefishcrow@cybre.space Hein? Thread? **sniffs** I smell Discourse.
@Fuego I still need to see this.

Writing
And that's the first draft of Familiar Flesh done. 6234 words. Editing needs to happen, clearly, but the hardest part of the work is complete.
Well, no, they're all the hardest part. One of the hardest parts is done. The "getting it out of my head" part is done. The "making it look pretty" part will take work.

@Mycroft Fair, but If I refused to share any big-picture article that contained a small problem, I'd never speak. Yes, GMOs are not an issue in the way he's arguing, but the general point of "people putting shit in our food because it it's better for their profit margins, regardless of what it does for our health or quality of life" is valid, even if he'd have been better served by saying "trans fats" instead of the examples he used.
@erinbee They don't taste as good as I remember, either.
@DialMforMara @Olivia_DAHLING @jessmahler If we're doing book plugs, Forest Gods by Ryan Campbell is good gay fantasy, Kyell Gold's Green Fair has wide recommendation though I haven't personally read it yet, and Kevin Frane's Summerhill is amazing. I've also got two novels to drop in the stack: Beautiful World is lightly adult near-future sci-fi, and Bonds of Silver, Bonds of Gold is heavily adult fantasy.

@ComputerHusband Well-labeled.
@kelseyhusky @jakebe ... got a more personal side to this, too, but I'd rather go into that elsewhere. =>.>=
@jakebe @kelseyhusky Much of the ideals of Kwanzaa are also well in line with what I think of as good community values. Unity's a hard one, if only because we're all such damned poststructuralists that "unity" ends up looking like "forward in all directions." :) The rest, though, are all things I'd love to see more conscious engagement in the community with.
@kelseyhusky @jakebe If nothing else, I think we tap into a common motif: we create rituals for ourselves because we can't connect to the narratives of the larger culture in which we find ourselves, but our connections to any "origin culture" has been deliberately broken in many ways. So, we do what we can to construct new futures from our understandings and try to show respect for the past in so doing.
@zebratron2084 I will eventually manage to get a Rot victory with Amber. =n.n=
@Mycroft I wrote a short story about that, which is likely to become the seed for a novel:
