A little (little...) late, but I drew the scene from the latest chapter of Steel and Oil by @chefwhatnot for the fic's three-year anniversary! If you like yuri slow burns and extremely introspective writing about phyrexia that we should have gotten, but never really did, I highly recommend you give it a look!

happy pride month
help I’m having ideas beyond my available free time
Magic the gathering, edh in particular, is just like bdsm.
Everyone involved spends some time preparing for the activity and talking about what's allowed. Then it's a lot of fun but sometimes disappointing for someone when communication didn't go that well or things didn't click.
Then there's the aftertalk. Yes, babe, I really liked when you played Armaggedon to reset the game, i was really punished for not holding up counterspell. Was it really ok that I destroyed your commander five times?
Instead of safe words we have power level 7
This is what having auditory processing issues is like.
in case you're wondering what the greatest AMV of all time is, it's this one from 2008.
y'all need to watch this this pride month
Destressing 3 (the destressing will continue until morale improves)
Testosterone & Your Singing Voice
greetings, fellow kids! perhaps you are trans? perhaps you are considering hormones? perhaps you have concerns?
perhaps you are scared fucking shitless that your singing voice will be ruined and destroyed forever and everything that is worthwhile about you will be destroyed with it and you will never be able to make music again?
me too!
so I took all that terror and I turned it into art, because what else are you going to do when you sacrifice your only beautiful thing in exchange for your life?
Here is me, four months ago, taking my first dose of testosterone. Yes, it is my real first dose of testosterone. Yes, I had to do this in one take.
Notice that my voice was good. I mean, it was really fucking good. I never did anything with it except school plays and campfire singing, but it was a really good instrument that I could have done something with, you get me?
Only, I hadn’t done anything with it, and I finally figured I was too old and unskilled and unfeminine to ever be the next Broadway star, so I broke it.
Which was, in a distant but meaningful way, partly because of Hamilton. And one month in, I could still sing Eliza’s part:
But that was only a month in, and my voice hadn’t really started to change yet. That was obviously not going to last. Here’s me after two months:
Still got some of those high notes! But they’re starting to get a bit creaky and unreliable, and I’ve got a whole extra octave down the bottom I’m not used to.
Three months in, I definitely couldn’t do Eliza. That turned out to be absolutely OK, because I could do Javert.
hey you know what my voice sounds pretty fucking good there. it’s not the same voice I had when I started but I still sound like me, you know? I’m still learning the new instrument, it’s not really finished yet, but I haven’t gone all the way back to a kid with his first recorder. I still sound like an adult who kinda knows how to sing.
The difference between Eliza and Washington turns out to be about four months.
Stay tuned, kids. This is not my final form.
And then I did Hades! Only I did shift it up by a little bit because I am not totally comfortable in the lowest notes yet, but they are notes in my range that I’m unsteady with, rather than notes I can’t hit, if you see the difference?
hey now hey now look at this we’re all up the Sondheim:
hello. you are here because I told you it was not too late for hrt. it is not too late for hrt and you can sing the whole time you’re changing.

i appreciate the amount of people reblogging this despite me not really tagging this at all. im glad many of people feel the same anger i do.
A lot of people mention that Outer Wilds is an amazing game that is best experienced completely blind but then don't try to elaborate on that. I will elaborate on it while still not spoiling it.
Let's start with why exactly spoilers matter for this game. I am someone who normally doesn't care too much about getting spoiled and can even build anticipation and interest from hearing story spoilers, but there are a couple of areas where I think spoilers definitely matter even for me: Exploration and Mystery.
Outer Wilds is an open world mystery platformer that not only focuses heavily on exploration and mystery, it is easily in the top tier of games I have played for both elements. The system you explore in the game is immaculately crafted and dense, and it quickly introduces several enigmatic things for you to pursue with layered clues that have you venturing around very unique places so you can discover both clues to how to find other clues and also piece together the greater story.
And, notably, the game does not gate your progress by making you accumulate objects or reward progression with items. The one currency you accumulate as you play is knowledge. You have every tool you will ever need from the moment you complete the "tutorial", but there is a lot of information you don't yet have that will be necessary to progress.
(But something else that's pretty cool is that the game is truly open. You can explore any planet or space structure you wish as soon as you launch for the first time, so you can discover clues out of order or even solve certain puzzles without finding the clues for them by getting lucky, experimenting for a while, or being particularly observant).
This is why going in blind matters here. Spoilers for Outer Wilds don't merely ruin a surprise twist, they change how you experience the game on a very fundamental level and somewhat play it for you. This is also why that first playthrough is so different from any subsequent ones, to a much greater degree than with most other games.
The game's objectives are all tied to your own curiosity. You notice strange or interesting things, you feel curious about what is going on with them, you investigate, and your curiosity is both rewarded and expanded. It's pure joy for the part of you that loves to explore and discover.
I know for some people it might be daunting to be thrown into a star system with a handful of (small but dense) planets plus several other objects to look at with no clear objectives, but just give it an hour and you'll probably find your own way, especially if you paid attention at the museum in your home planet.
Also, while the game does not have realistic physics its setting does follow a consistent set of rules you can learn through experimentation, observation, and learning about the discoveries other characters have made. Mastering these laws feels very rewarding and they are also intimately connected to the core questions of the game. It's very well thought out.
It is the type of game that practically pets your head and calls you a good girl for using the scientific method, even if you get wrecked in the process.
You really can just observe something strange, gather information on it, think of a way to test it, and then actually do that. Like I said, the rules are consistent and a joy to discover.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
i need all the help i can get for finals
Hey so
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
I could use some luck
Knight!!! The princess wishes to get unbelievably high and cuddle.
its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops
The real trick is to eat seed heavy food before the speedrun starts so your first poops are halfway to agriculture already
i want you on my team holy shit
