Can I come over for dinner pls @8bitrevolver
Retro Game Room Version 2 I needed to patch the walls and paint, so I thought I might as well change it all up.
23 different consoles and handhelds, about 450 old games. Framemeister xrgb-mini upscaler so it doesn’t look bad on a new tv, handmade custom MAME cabinet, and a fuzzy chair and fuzzy carpet :)
A lot of work, and a lifetime of collecting!

Help Tom stay housed after their surgery!
Hey y’all! You may remember this post that I made about a month ago, looking for new housing and donations. I have some updates!
I’ve found a new place to live. It’s not quite ideal, but I’ve accepted it already. So that’s not an issue.
However, the job I had, which was paying really well, decided to let me go - because I couldn’t do all the work they set out for me because of my chronic pain. I was out of work for about a week before I found a new job; however, it’s a very physically demanding one that isn’t scheduling me for more than 20 hours a week.
At this rate, even with minimum spending on my part, I won’t be able to pay rent & utilities for those months. My surgery - a unilateral hip replacement - will take place on October 22nd, and I should be fully recovered by mid-January.
But un the mean time, I’m going to need your help. My blog still has a donations button, or you can send any donations to [email protected]. Even if you can’t donate, please, please reblog this post. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

7 Diverse young transgendered individuals from all over the world give their perspective on the same topic every week!
The Trans Youth Channel on YouTube is an interesting look at vlogging as documentary. This channel and the videos it hosts are each little autobiographical documentaries, with each person "giving their perspective on the same topic every week." One week, they'll each make a video about body hair, the next about employment, and another about presenting gender. This is a great way to build community among a group of individuals that are under-represented (in a positive and non-exploitative light) in the media.
What I find to be the most exciting about this channel is that the folks that run it source their viewers for weekly topics and for "wild card" vloggers. The public that has access to these videos is responsible for the content that they see, and even have the chance to speak about their experiences in regard to the week's topic. These "wild cards" and topic choices are decisions made by the managers of the channel, but are always done with the viewer's wishes in mind.
I imagine these videos being targeted to young adults (ages puberty through 25), namely queer, trans* and genderqueer folks closer to their 20s. There is a great deal of diversity between the panel of vloggers, so a wide range of people may have the chance to learn about the experiences of someone they can relate to. I was pleased to see a healthy variety of female-presenting transfolk, but was hoping to see an equal number of male-presenting vloggers. This may be one of the only downsides of the page, but it is understandable as not all documentaries can reach everyone and all varied experiences.
However, in its existence as a YouTube channel, anyone with Internet access has the ability to view these videos. This means that the content is not only available to queer/trans folk, but also to those who identify as cisgender (paired with any sexual orientation). These videos can serve as positive snippets of educational moments for anyone who has a question about being transgender, not just those who are transgender, themselves. I find that to be the most important part of this channel, since worldwide access is crucial in the development of building community within the queer (+ allied) community.
The Internet plays a very large role in this documentary's production, distribution and preservation. Each video is made by the individual that appears in the frame, and whoever they have asked to help (if anyone). This makes the video making process much more personal and intentional, with all editing and treatment of the subject left to the responsibility of the vlogger. This allows for less of a chance of exploitation or misrepresentation by another, making each video as autobiographical as possible. In terms of distribution, as touched on before, having the content posted on YouTube allows for free access virtually anywhere. The videos can be watched at home at no cost, as opposed to having to make it to a theater, independent screening, or video store to watch the clips. The videos also stay on the Internet for as long as the channel managers want them to; preservation is left up to their discretion, as well.
What's most important about The Trans Youth Channel is its status as a queer and feminist form of documentary. The videos lie into these to categories nicely not only because of their content, but because of how they are made/presented and the way the subject is treated. I would say that placing oneself on the Internet for millions to see is a very modern and queer way to do documentary. Instead of working through a studio and working with producers, these individuals have become their own film crew and distribution company to share their thoughts and experiences with the world. Since they have full reign over the entire project, their work can be considered feminist because they know to treat themselves with the utmost care and respect.
The Trans Youth Channel has served as a great resource for my own journey as a young queer and trans* individual, and I'm excited to see that it's still running strongly. I can only imagine the number of folks this channel has helped and continues to support, and I hope to one day become a part of this project.
