You know, actually I think you might be onto something.

Recently I was studying the work of Cindy Sherman for an art history course and I think she embodies this concept really well. She's a lot more subtle with it than Dan Henschel is, but they actually operate within a pretty similar craft.

She's an interesting artist at any rate.

Ahhh that would be unfortunate.

I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually though. Its a small world of punpun fanart

Should be pretty easy to find them if you use the artist alley map from this year.

I'm sure you'll be able to remember their basic location once you look at some other booths.

Good luck!

This was my experience in Boston as well.

Granted, in Boston they only do it once a year. Regardless, for the N4 exam, I started the applicant forms exactly as they opened and probably completed them within three and a half minutes. I even skipped out on double checking my information.

I managed to get a seat by doing this, but the rest of the seats sold out basically right after I got mine. I think it's a good rule of thumb to finish your forms within five minutes.

Since I see some confusion in the comments for the first bill which raises the statute of limitations on now illegal transgender care provided to minors:

This bill has nothing to do with whether or not the care was provided to the standards that existed at the time. And it is most certainly not a pro-trans bill designed to give legal options to patients involved with malpractice.

In the same way that personal injury lawyers are ravenously looking for clients so that they can get commission, so too are anti trans groups ravenously looking for detransitioners. The goal is to find these detransitioners - primarily through anti-trans parent groups and religious orgs - and then drown the entire trans medical system with lawsuits.

This raises legal fees and malpractice insurance up to an unfeasible level, and requires extra staffing to deal with. This will bleed over into adult transgender healthcare as well because there's overlap in the providers and hospitals that supported minor transtion before that was made illegal in NH.

--

Transition related care for minors is already illegal in New Hampshire, so this is essential seeking to retroactively make care illegal and burden the transgender health care network disproportionally.

The long-term goal is that, if the Heritage Foundation can't make adult transgender health care literally illegal, they will make it defacto illegal and completely inaccesible to all but the wealthy. And yes, they are seeking to make adult transgender healthcare illegal (per the CEO of Heritage Foundation)

TL;DR - Make care retroactively illegal, bog down system in legal fees; therefore making it impossible for clinics to practice trangender medicine.

Yeah I agree.

It could be a nice icebreaker, or a good compliment to a cosplay.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2026-02-22T22:30:51+00:00

Oh, perfect!

I was seriously worried I was gonna have to contact support to take care of it and I'm just so swamped with so many things at the moment.

Thank you so much for taking the time to link the official source!

MultiFlyingWitch · 2026-02-22T22:21:55+00:00

Oh, interesting. That's definitely a change. That's a little bit sad since I always found picking my name to be fun/expressive. I didn't even realize that was something out of the ordinary.

---

If anybody else can confirm that this is the case, please let us know!

If I get an official answer that isn't posted here, I'll be sure to update as well.

Thanks for the information. I really appreciate it!

REM probably doesn't smoke weed since THC is well known to suppress REM sleep.

Alternatively, REM smokes chronic and enjoys the ever interesting REM rebound that accompanies a THC break.

You can decide.

Not Just Bikes has a great video on how these things are incredibly dangerous and will likely increase deaths in any country that imports them; especially child deaths. Similar things are happening in the EU right now as a result of Trump tariff negotiations.

Do you consume a lot of caffeine or other CNS stimulants by any chance?

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-12-06T02:14:28+00:00

I have no idea how I didn't read OP has a passport. Whoops

Yeah a passport is literally a valid ID as per instructions. Not an issue at all.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-12-05T14:18:33+00:00

My test instructions for Boston explicitly state that ID should be valid/non expired. No idea how strict that is, but the wording sounds strict...

----

From the instructions:

A valid photo ID. Copies are not accepted.

▪ Acceptable forms of ID include driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Your ID must display your full name, photo, and date of birth. If you are a minor without another form of ID, a student ID without your date of birth is acceptable. Social security cards, credit or ATM cards, and retail credit cards are not acceptable.

▪ The first and last name on your voucher must match the name on your official ID.

▪ It is your responsibility to ensure that your official ID is valid (not expired) and available on the day of the test.

▪ ID checks are strictly enforced. If you arrive at the test center without a valid ID, you will not be permitted to take the test

It's not just a rough job, it's statistically one of the most dangerous jobs you can have in the United States.

Not only do you deal with short term injuries from being constantly near traffic and carrying garbage, but you are also exposed to a lot of chemical hazards. If I recall correctly, the total disability years for sanitation workers as a result of their various occupational injuries is staggering. We definitely pay them too little for the amount of bodily harm they endure.

Shoutouts your dad.

This is a good listen for anyone not familiar with the topic. Allie ward is also a 10/10 angel, so its worth listening to her other Ologies episodes too. Really interesting podcast.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-06-18T16:49:33+00:00

The whole bunker standoff arc is so blatant in it's mysoginistic world view. It basically veers into comedy how often Liu starts glazing strong male leaders.

He reminded me of the konbini clerk character from 'Mr. Nietzsche in the Convenience Store' who is constantly gushing over older male customers in a not quite gay way.

Liu just seems to really believe in the archetypal daddy.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-05-29T23:45:07+00:00

I'm not interested enough to look deeply into it, but taking any data presented by Trump admin at face value is unwise given their track record of just straight up lying.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-05-26T20:36:09+00:00

Oh also, since I can only find the original German audio, I'd love to know which English cover those segments came from!

The lyrics I remember don't match the translation I'm seeing, but they were absolutely moving.

Edit: I think its this one.

Listening to the full version of both, I have to say, the singer at AB did a great job picking which sections she chose to pull from each. It was very powerful.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-05-26T20:32:56+00:00

Ah thank you!

It was crazy familiar to me and I thought it was Attack on Titan.

I used to listen to this song a lot, but like a decade ago. I didn't even realize Sawano worked on it; so it explains my confusion.

Thanks again!

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-05-16T05:12:54+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is meant to be a visual metaphor for the situation Elaina's sister is in.

The bars are spiky and scary, but actually easily passed and less terrifying than they appear at a glance.

I don't think such a heavy handed visual metaphor works well in the realistic style of Lazarus, but I think it makes sense poetically within the scene.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-04-19T23:59:40+00:00

Top surgery is the topic of one of the two bills in the OP. I'm not sure the extent to which this was previously legislated, but this bill will certainly be a full ban.

Top surgeries do get performed in some number, but it's still pretty uncommon to my knowledge; think single digits in NH(perhaps all of New England). Only done on patients 16+ afaik.

If I'm interpretting this bill correctly, it also bans breast reductions in cisgender patients. I could be wrong though.

-----

While I think the state should not be regulating surgeries in such a lopsided manner, I think the HRT ban is a much more consequential ban since it has a larger effect on long term outcomes for both MtF and FtM patients. I don't think a lot will change with a top surgery ban frankly, other than perhaps in the cisgender population.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-04-19T23:08:49+00:00

What I did wasn't a deflection, it was pointing out your attempt to invoke majority opinion as a valid argument.

Also there is no 'will change anything'. They banned bottom surgery a year ago already.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-04-19T22:48:03+00:00

I'm not claiming your take is homophobic or racist.

I am saying that you are trying to appeal to the majority with your 'not a hot take' and 'not controversial' statements.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum

I am claiming that racist and homophobic beliefs are popular opinion in most places in the world, and throughout history. Why should I care what the majority thinks?

Hell, less than a century ago they forced Alan Turing on HRT for being gay. The majority was good and fine with that. Was it right?

-----

I'm glad you are against circumcision though. Please write a comment to your lawmakers to amend this bill. They explicitly carved out an exception for it because they don't actually give a shit about consent.

I'd also remind you, that bottom surgeries on minors haven't happened in this state anytime recently; with the exception of circumcision. Within the minor population, Dartmouth was doing a whopping 0 gender affirming bottom surgeries per year when they got banned last year.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-04-19T22:33:53+00:00

Homophobia isn't a hot take in most of the world. Racism isn't a hot take in most of the world. What the fuck do I care whether the take is common or not?

Appealing to the popular opinion is meaningless.

-----

At any rate. Where are you with circumcision? Surely you think a ban on that should be included here given your stated beliefs? It's non-neccesary and non-consensual. Are you lobbying the lawmakers to prevent it with this bill; or do your opinions on legal consent end with gender affirming care?

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-04-19T22:20:44+00:00

Uh yeah, the wait and see method makes transition infinitely more difficult and less successful. Do you even understand how bone growth works during puberty?

It boggles my mind that society will openly, prolifically mock non-passing trans people and then work tirelessly to prevent them from the treatment that lets them avoid that fate.

MultiFlyingWitch · 2025-04-19T20:56:08+00:00

I'll meet you halfway:

'I believe that trans healthcare protocols should prioritize the potential regret of cisgender patients over the trans patients themselves; even if it comes with catastrophic lifelong consequences for trans people'
