@socketwench - I kinda like this feeling of isolation. Something is so bad that what only really matters is what's around you.

I do love shows like V: The Series and War of the World's Second Season that show (albiet just in reports) the world outside.

"Sir, do you know how fast you were going back there?"
"Uh...97?"
"That's a relief...radar gun's working. Thanks for you cooperation."

"Pop, you're gonna live to a ripe old age."
"How do YOU know that?"
"Cause I've angered the karma gods and you're my punishment."

"Every job treats you badly, so why should you want better?" is not the correct take on job toxicitiy.

@boringaccount - I was at Nintendo of America for about ten years. I started as a phone tech support rep, became their chat/forum lead, eventually added to our letters department, and at the end was managing tech support teams.

It was a lot of fun, but there was also a lot of heartbreak: https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-america-contractors-full-time-complaints-report

@boringaccount - I actually had it ruined for me. :)

My dad, when he found out I was working at Nintendo, asked what Pokemon was. So I told him the basic gist of it, to which he replied "Oh, cock fighting! I used to do that in the 50s!" and then he regaled me with stories about how his Rooster killed a bunch of others, and now I can't not see it.

I don't even like Pokemon and this is adorable: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GWsw5ux6U9Q

Today's Discussion: Difference between "Underwear" and "Underware."

GO!

Why do I watch Strictly Dumpling first thing after waking up? I just set myuself up for cravings I can never satiate....

Huh, I not only have the early drafts of the original Star Wars Trilogy, but Superman I and II, and now a bunch of the Transformers Movie drafts. I should absolutely do pages of all these drafts like I did for ST:TMP.

When I first transitioned, Steph and Amy were my fashion consultants. Their goal (which may have not been my goal) was to keep me from being that girl who dressed up for lunch with the queen when all she had to do was grocery shop.

While I've kinda developed my own sense of style (frumpy- baggy-hide-it-all-couture), when I'd dress up for an occasion, I'd still send a pic to Steph to show her I dressed up. It was always encouraging, and despite being down on my looks, at least would pep me up a bit.

A post about "Fashion Plates" a kid's toy where you could swap out different outfits and heads to make new outfits you could then draw and fill in) got me thinking, though. What if I DID have the body I wanted, and I COULD dress how I wanted. Or, even, see what the clothes I'm wearing in this Y Chromosome Body would look like on X Chromosome Me?

Turns out it was easy to set up, And X Chromosome me looks cute even in my frumpy-ish outfits. And it's set up that I can overlay any clothes I want on the template, assuming I can draw it.

This is what I wore to last night's city council meeting.
