almost every trans woman i know was catapulted into the lumpenproletariat immediately upon transition
there is an employment crisis among trans women and there always has been, but good luck getting people to see it
Still living this life after almost 8 months. A professional I know who works almost exclusively with trans people said almost all of them are unemployed.

it's still a very low chance but at this point I think there's a non-zero chance Andrew Mountbattan-Windsor might end up facing police charges. that's pretty remarkable.

conan had a hime cut
Different artists have interpreted Conan's hair in various ways, but it is generally agreed that Conan's hair was long in the back, so Robert E. Howard probably intended for the bangs to be square-cut above the eyes, where they wouldn't interfere with Conan's vision. See Frazetta for one example.
