I once worked a 3rd shift by myself because the dude who was supposed to be serving passed out from a coke binge.
A drunk girl and her drunk friends came in during the bar rush, and besides being cool as shit, she popped her tits out on the high bar so I'd make her hash browns with extra love.

You can either get mad at people on Reddit or you can start 5 collections of trans work to share with everyone and try to uplift the voices of artists people say don't exist. Even if it's just a bit.
As I've said before: you too, can search the web and write a blog post. And I think you should.

The secret to "becoming the guy who can recommend a lot of trans work" is to be petty about something by supporting others and I'm NOT even kidding. When someone complains that your work "isn't x" or "isn't y enough" that is YOUR TIME TO PROMOTE SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK WHOLE HEARTEDLY.
Finally... over 300 tm/m and tm/tm stories and projects in one collection... so I can shove it in the faces of people on Reddit (and elsewhere) who complain when I post tm/f art and complain that gay trans work is "impossible to find"... WELL SAY THAT AFTER YOU READ ALL 300+!!!!

Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard
But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all
(game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw)

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.
