Want to support trans rights in Aotearoa & get a bunch of cool TTRPGs? The Ban the Ban bundle is raising funds for action against the NZ govt's blocker ban.

Proceeds go to PATHA to fund their court challenge & support individuals. Get it now!

one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere
What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

Writing with Monstrosity
I managed to hit send a full day early. The most nerve-wracking project I’ve ever worked on is finally submitted, ready for peer review. That’s it. It’s done. Now I await judgement on my first ever journal article submission. I don’t know if it’s a common feeling, I haven’t asked anyone yet, but it felt momentous. My first piece outside my undergraduate or postgraduate study, one which directly builds my career.

Right there with you — rapidly approaching a Microsoft-free household
I sold my Xbox Series X because of Microsoft's horrific stance on Palestine. That's a library of 100 games I no longer have access to.

Video games are great, but human life has infinitely more value, always, and I will never enable any person or entity complicit in genocide.
"The games industry in particular is at the intersection of entertainment and tech...there are a lot of connections between the games industry and the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people."

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

Today I submitted my first ever journal article to a proper academic journal. Quietly panicking but definitely excited.

If you want to buy something from Pit Trap Shop, tomorrow is not the day. The store will be closed in protest of Black Friday consumerism hysteria. Buy nothing. Play games or draw a skeleton instead.

The first night I brought my phone to bed in months — podcasts help me sleep when migraines — and I am stuck, have been stuck for the last 45 mins since my partner woke me up when she came to bed.

Need to find a better bedtime podcast solution without my phone.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

I know I'm meant to be focusing on getting my MRes thesis written, but all I want to do is play solo ttrpgs and nerd out on the internet.
