"gambling addiction" is kind of like if people regularly opened pits with spikes at the bottom in public areas and made lots of money from people falling into the pit and so they started greasing the edges and putting these pits in every public space and lobbying to be allowed to install them in people's homes and when someone fell into the greased spike pit in their house they said "oh thats so tragic, they had an addiction to deadly spikes, we obviously support everyone having a safe and healthy responsible relationship with the greased spike pits we're building"

‘Manuel’ - Rodrigo (Rodrigo Muñoz Ballester)

‘Manuel’ was showed in the 1983 edition of ARCO, Madrid’s contemporary art fair. It was deemed “the first gay sculpture at the fair” and caused some commotion in Spain’s cultural scene. The artist, Rodrigo, made this sculpture based on a man he met and fell in love with at a public pool in 1976.

Everybody raise a glass to activist Opal Lee, one of the driving forces behind how we even got a Juneteenth in the first place.

Born Opal Flake in 1926 Texas, her home burned down when she was a small child and the family moved to Fort Worth. In 1939 the family purchased a home in a south side Fort Worth neighborhood --the first Black family to do so, which didn't sit well with some of the neighbors, and after only a few weeks an angry mob burned the house down. Despite these dual childhood traumas, Opal graduated from high school in 1943, and then eventually from Wiley College in 1953. She took a job teaching at an elementary school in Fort Worth, married fellow educator Dale Lee, and ultimately earned a Master's in counseling in 1968, from the North Texas State University (today the University of North Texas). She retired from her career in education in 1977 at the age of 51... and was clearly just getting started.

Beginning with a post-retirement career supervising a local food bank and its adjacent 13-acre farm, expanding it to a 33,000 sq. foot facility that today serves upwards of 500 families a day. More recently she also founded Transform 1012 N. Main Street, a coalition of Fort Worth area nonprofits and arts organizations aiming to reconstruct a former Ku Klux Klan auditorium into the Fred Rouse Arts Center (named for a Black man who was lynched by a Fort Worth mob in 1921). But Lee's greatest passion was always aimed toward preservation of local Black history, leading into the founding of the Tarrant County Black Historical and Genealogical Society. It was from this starting point that June 19th began to be more widely acknowledged and celebrated as a yearly event. Each year Lee and other members of the society made a point of walking two and a half miles, symbolically covering the number of years between the formal end of enslavement (i.e., the Emancipation Proclamation) and the time most Texans found out about it.

In 2016, now at the age of 89, Lee took the advice of the society to "go bigger," and walked from Fort Worth to Washington, D.C. (a distance of roughly 1,360 miles), taking more than five months to complete and collecting enthusiastic signatures along the way, in support of the premise of at last elevating Juneteenth to the status of a national holiday. On June 17, 2021, Lee was present at the White House when then-President Joe Biden signed the bill officially marking Juneteenth as an annual federal holiday. Today Lee is the oldest living member of the National Juneteenth Observance Foundation (NJOF), and is both a board member --and Honorary Chair-- of the National Juneteenth Museum. She was named by the Dallas Morning News as 2021's "Unsung Hero of the Pandemic," has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, and in 2024 received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This past year, Habitat For Humanity built and gifted Opal a new house on the very Fort Worth lot where a racist mob burned down her family's home 85 years prior.

Hey - You Should Check Out My Character Sheets

I've been making character sheets for various roleplaying games over the past few years, and I've gotten pretty fucking good at it. I've got everything from small, simple, sheets...

...to complex beasts with clocks that tick and self-populating sections that pull from numbers you put in specific boxes.

I've got big, trad-like games with lots of pieces...

...and more abstract story-games.

And I include more than just character sheets! I include mission clocks, world-building tools...

... and safety sheets with a list of common safety tools!

So check out my play-kits - you might find that game you want to play just a little bit easier to do!

you can transition in literally any order you want and it's fine*. i started seeking hrt before i was even sure. i'm a few months in, have started seeking laser hair removal, and yet. I have not told anyone around me. I have no plans to change my legal name yet (i mean i should get to it but it's whatever for now). Gender marker? i forgot about that until i started making this post.

*some restrictions may apply if your country is run by idiots

anyway. i'm not really sure where i was going with this. just know if someone's telling you you have to do x and y before you're allowed to do z (usually hrt), unless you trust they actually know your country's bad laws, there's a good chance they're (unconsciously) trying to slow you down. and life's too short not to be happy.
