Bookpooptooting; Booptooting (Shades of Magic, Bk2) 

I've just started reading A Gathering of Shadows

We're barely out of the starting gates and Lilah has already fallen in with another "aristo but like rebellious about it" mystery magic boy

After ending book 1 declaring her independent free spirit by not hanging around mystery magic boy v1.0 (in his favour, Kel had a way cooler coat. this lad's just got a pirate ship, smdh)

Someone save this poor woman from her terrible life choices

UK Trans Question, NHS, 

So like

After surgery and the GRC was done I got discharged, never heard from the GIC again, etc

Now a few years later, I'm wondering. Cuz.. US trans people apparently see an endo every once in a while? And that sounds.. Uh, sensible?

But this is the NHS, so.. I imagine doing so over here would involve getting re-referred, put back on the waiting list, etc.

Does anyone have any experience of longterm/post-transition trans healthcare under the NHS? Is that a thing that.. Exists, structurally at all?

Anyone had to put a stake through the heart of the Windows update auto-restarter lately, and know of the most recent viable method?

Mine's reanimated itself after various regedits and w/e have apparently been patched out, and now every time I go to make a cup of tea it pops up the doomsday clock

re: Sleepy Foucault Posting: Cultural Discourse of Sexuality, Transphobia, Institutional Psychology {Tri} 

I mean, look at Blanchard's regime in Canada, and tell me he wasn't an institutionally-endorsed sex abuser, whose role within the institution was to not only police trans people, but to force us to internalise *self-policing* as habitual background behaviour before access to transition resources (incl. legal & social validation and protection) was granted by the state.

This policing centred around the erasure of trans identities and trans sexualities via imposing a medicalized framework of power, both external power, and that which is drilled into the subject's self-narrative and self-beliefs by the institution

I just saw a top online sold as "frilly, distressed"

100% mood

Sometimes Nottinghamshire just seems like it's going out of its way to be bucolic

Like it overheard someone saying "Britain doesn't really look like in the postcards" and got really worked up about it

I should get back into Twine maybe

Idk

For a while I was part of The Queer Indie Gamedev Scene and it was rad?

But then I stopped cuz a lotta reasons (Also not being on Twitter is kinda a barrier to being in any sort of scene tbh)

Butyeah, Twine is good, and I was good at it. (2.X is a strange new world etc etc, but 1.4.2? I can do that yeah, and it's where all the macros I've used/made live)

queer pol, general pol 

NSFW/SFW is a social construct, pals, and not one without pitfalls and power dynamics.

Which identities and their associated traits and behaviours are 'Wholesome, Fine, Self-Expression"

And which are "That's Sexual, Keep It Hidden"

..Is politically loaded, culturally rooted, constantly shifting, and highly weaponizable.

Read up on enough queer history and you'll get a looong timeline of these shifting boundaries and identities

And how people smack each other with 'em to great effect

Cuz:
- Longbat is long, and the cushion's for a standard chair with shorter length, so I had to pad out the back seperately
- Now the rim covers are Green, there's nowhere near enough Purple in the ~aesthetic~. (the standard cushion is in Melancholic Institutional Grey, too)
- My chair didn't come with sideguards, so clothes get dirtied by tires too much. Can do sideguards mounted on the cushion with sufficient interfacing & structure.

I've been sewing a cushion cover for my wheelchair lately, and am trying to remember to like, take photos semi-regularly.

Total War: Three Kingdoms Pooptooting 

News soon spread through China that Guan Yu takes criticism of his air guitar routine rather poorly

Overwatch Pooptooting 

Hammond the Hamster is the most subversive Overwatch character cuz he steals and recycles the tools of an oppressive institution to free himself from it

send toot

If I'm trying to be more sociable I should really do an intro post, since my profile's kinda minimal..

But I'm not doing great today (no sleep, among other things x.x), so.. Not now.

*flop*

Game Silliness [Total War: Three Kingdoms] 

the "Average spearman solos an entire army every night" factoid is inaccurate. Charging Georg is a statistical outlier who should not be counted

Painstuff/Autism Pooptooting 

Extremely Moira Voice: "The true war is between trying not to cross your legs due to back pain, and finding it extremely calming because it's a pressure-stim."

I should probably list the kinda stuff I like, that'd probably be handy (Or update my Goodreads profile more than every 3 years jeez, but who has time for social media?) Anyway! I'll list a bunch of books or series I like (and also can remember right now). 

Terra Ignota - Ada Palmer
Vorkosigan Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold
The Culture - Iain M. Banks
The Craft Sequence - Max Gladstone
The City & The City - China Meiville
Ambergris Cycle - Jeff Vandermeer
Golden Fool Trilogy - Robin Hobb
Book of the New Sun - Gene Wolf
Imperial Radch - Anne Leckie
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel - Susannah Clarke
Little, Big - John Crowley
Arcane Ascension - Andrew Rowe

Okay I'm spacing out hard so I'm gonna stop here

But those are all good stuff, and hopefully give a good idea

Food + 

I made a curry on Tuesday with PA's help!

It was the first time I cooked a like, big recipe meal in.. Uh.. Literally-years. And I had to do the last bit solo because time constraints, but I still managed it, and it was really good!

(Not something I could do on a weekly basis energywise, but something she could, I think)
