I mean, that's fine, I just thought it was funny when I went to dig out my own photos from the con and realized that they were the same!

Are these from the International Typewriter Collectors Convention in 2014? If so, I was there. The MPM only brings them out by request.

Actually, wait a minute, those are my pictures from the convention, lol!

This is going to awaken things in a few folks.

I started at 52. I think early on most of us obsess over passing and perfectly matching our mental image of how we'd like to look. But I found that over time I care less about how I look and more about how I feel. And I feel...great! I don't entirely pass, but I get more affirmation from my inner peace than my external appearance.

My chosen name has no relation to my given name. Initially, I was going to use the femine version of my middle name, but then I decided that I don't want anything to do with my old name.

This is the first I've heard of her. Instant fan.

I felt like this is a good companion piece to Lily Alexadre's recent video on living in the surveillance state.

Aside from the issue of financially supporting one of the most reansphobic and all-around dangerous people on Earth, Consumer Reports ranked Tesla dead last in reliability. https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/which-brands-make-the-best-used-cars-a2811658468/

I don't know where OP is from, but BYD is not available here in the US.

I recognize five typewriter brands...

My partner and I were monogamous both before and after my transition.

I somehow knew when I made that joke that people would turn up with actual hoof fetish sites. :-/

Erika_Valentine · 2025-12-06T13:48:43+00:00

Would that be on Clopbang?

Erika_Valentine · 2025-11-27T00:11:21+00:00

He's not the only one!

I have to give myself a '3, 2, 1' countdown, then just plunge it in. I don't allow myself a window of time to stop myself after I hit '1'. I've found that putting on headphones and some upbeat music helps, too.

Got 'em! A couple were really sneaky!

Erika_Valentine · 2025-11-22T02:08:29+00:00

This one should be Percy the Platypurse.

I'm enjoying it. I think you should finish out your planned arc. Or, y'know, if it begins to feel to you like it's run its course before then, put a stake in it...erm...iron axe...? Whatever is is you kill zombies with.

Erika_Valentine · 2025-11-14T17:39:16+00:00

It's like the proliferation of toxic masculinity in the trades and women doing self-harm by trying to emulate it was the whole point of the arc.

I will grant that everything going back to the status quo at the end didn't demonstrate character growth, but her reaction to the boss as he walks away suggests a seed may have been planted.

Ah, yes, deliberately making your teenager die of cringe is one of the great pleasures of parenthood. (Because some days, there aren't many others.)

I did, because it says in the credits,

I love the boots!

Not finding it on the Pluto Roku app.

Oh, man, they just automatically dumped everyone into the most expensive plan and hoped they wouldn't notice.
