Reminded today of LeGuin's speech about the fall of capitalism and its context. But to me, this fragment of Tombs of Atuan speaks a lot more - transition very much feels like Tenar's journey.

I had someone to hold me when I experienced that weight falling. I wish every trans woman the same.
"She did feel it. A dark hand had let go its lifelong hold upon her heart. But she did not feel joy, as she had in the mountains. She put her head down in her arms and cried, and her cheeks were salt and wet. She cried for the waste of her years in bondage to a useless evil. She wept in pain, because she was free. What she had begun to learn was the weight of liberty. Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light; but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it. – Tombs, p. 173"

Without downloading new pictures, describe your gender.
An 18th century tea brick they used to shave them off and put the shavings in a pot to make tea.

In other words, she's barely doing her basic job and not actually fighting for anyone. Oh, and publicly throwing every trans person under the fucking bus by collaborating with New York Times and Ezra Klein.

Worth adding that it was a gift of the XI Gymnasium in Lvov, transferred to the 6. Regiment of the Polish Army.

According to a vintage scan of a newspaper report, this is a Hanriot biplane, exact model and make not remarked upon, but a glance at Wikipedia suggests this might be a Hanriot HD.14/H.28?

Down the road, when we look for the roots of modern day fascism in eg. America, maybe we should take a harder look on the slop that the current generation in power raised on, which portrayed torture as cool and edgy, rather than, you know, war crimes.

(art. 3, 1949 GC)
Screenshot of Ghost Recon Future Soldier cutscene where the American designated good guy Kozak is busy torturing a Russian POW because "he has a bit of Russian in him". His green T-shirt is stained with the Russian's blood, as are his fists, and the half-naked guy tied to the chair is drenched with blood from his broken face. Ultranationalist or not, war crimes are war crimes.

AC: Unity is an interesting vibe. Also, it took me until now to realize that there are multiple sets of animations playing, including one of a botched execution where the body starts convulsing and requires a second stroke. Apparently this did happen in revolutionary France.

Delisted Syndicate doesn't really feel like fiction anymore.
"/DATA ENTRY Entry: TWB Broadcast Type: Terrorist Propaganda INTEL FEED /UAV.chip_hack.Broadcast: TWB Excerpt: They call it creative destruction, but have you noticed, brothers and sisters, who it destroys every goddamn time? Have you noticed who it is that pays the price for every fresh consumer advance and new market opened? Have you ever noticed how the promise of those advances and markets gets siphoned off, how when it comes time for the benefits to be shared out, we're somehow never invited to that particular party? But why should we be? What, after all, could we bring to that party? We had no capital to invest, no credit rating to commend us to their world. We only gave blood, sweat, toil and tears to build this nation - and those, my friends, are cheap materials, materials they can always get some more of, somewhere else. So we watched our neighborhoods rot through with laissez-faire. We watched our jobs disappear overseas, and finally into the sky itself. We watched our friends and family disappear when they said or believed the wrong thing. We watched, and lived through, as our children were taken into the night. Children! Our access to this future they say is ours, has been stolen from under our nose. Well, no more! Creative destruction is the rule? That's the rule? Then let it be so. Let them see the creative destruction we will bring to their doors. Let them feel it! Let them feel the rising force of our rage. Let them understand what it's like when justice is subordinated to profit. It's only going to end one way. Yes, my friends, my brothers and sisters. It ends with change, and change is coming, creative destruction is coming, death is coming, and it's coming to the Syndicates. So join with me now and celebrate its rise! / end of entry"

This is what Anna Navarre advocated in Deus Ex. She was not a positive character or even a fundamentally good person. :|

Oh no. Laika: Aged Through Blood. One of the darkest, most fascinating games I've played (and helped me figure out some of my trans identity too, through the themes of death, rebirth, motherhood, and sacrifice).
