I can't do much but maybe this will interest someone. This cookbook is by a classically trained autistic chef, made for people with sensory issues. It's sold 1/6th of its initial run because apparently no one wants to have an autistic person interviewed on TV.

Apparently it's also very funny.

Spread this around! I bet someone here can use this.

I know that HRT gives you secondary sex characteristics in one direction or another, but we HAVE to stop telling nonbinary people that they “can’t pick and choose.” Of course, you can’t tell your testosterone that you’d rather not grow chest hair, but there are things you can do!

You could go on T so your voice drops and start shaving so you don’t grow a beard. You could start HRT and then stop once you get the permanent changes you like. You can pursue sterilization instead of bottom surgery. You can get top surgery without being on T. You can go on E and work out a bunch to bulk out your muscles. You can pursue laser hair removal or electrolysis to remove unwanted hair, with or without HRT. You could even just start hormones to see if you like it and then stop if it isn’t to your taste.

Obviously, you can’t order secondary sex characteristics a la carte, but we have to stop being so awful to nonbinary people. We should discuss the options we have, not shut down the conversation with “that’s what you get.”

when you go to school for animation you will find that every third person in your classes will say “I want to be a character designer/storyboard artist!” and there’s no problem with that! except that the vast majority of these people don’t realize they don’t actually want to be character designers or storyboard artists. What they WANT to do is draw pretty ocs and dnd characters over and over and not do anything like draw backgrounds or tell stories or make animate-able designs to meet the needs of the production they’re on. And this is fine too! I’m not even saying this to be shady. I’m saying this because so many people don’t even realize how many jobs there are out there that are adjacent to the animation/illustration industries that would be way more fulfilling for people that just want to draw pretty ocs over and over than character design/storyboarding. Sometimes the answer is being involved in a non-art animation role (like production management) and then drawing your friends’ dnd characters on the weekends.

Frankly, my recommendation is just to make short films, and if if’s too overwhelming or you can’t even get enjoyment out of doing character design/storyboarding (or whatever part of the pipeline you’re interested in) on a personal project like that, then you were probably never going to be fulfilled doing it as a job
