*lights up one of the cigars and tucks the other one in his shirt pocket for laters*

Aaaaw yeah! I'll set the mood for virtual cigars anytime!

Hey. The weekend can start now right? Right?! I'll be hopefully getting out of the apartment for a few hours Saturday night to invade a local gathering of like minded nerds and friends. (Not with the intention of picking a fight, I swear!)

Lesse.. What's going on. I decided to say to hell with decisions and buy both the binder styles I was looking at. (Double-front and chest-only. I'll try the tri-top at some other point.) Seems they'd ship from my own state, so I'm hoping they'll get her next week. I'm looking forward to fighting my way into them on my own. If no one hears from me, that simply means I've gotten myself stuck. XD

Finished reading Becoming a Visible Man by Jamison Green. At some point during the book, its revealed that he's also adopted. (Officially planted in his adoptive home after 5 weeks too!) He doesn't go into that really, but I found it interesting that his parental dynamics upon coming out seem to be rather similar to mine. I had lots of good moments reading that book. It was like an FTM history lesson too, though I'd probably have to read it again for any of the names to really STICK in my memory. But yeah.. Reading this upped my interest in trying to get to Southern Comfort next year. I can drive to Altanta without issue and could probably manage to crash with friends who live in the area. (Can't make it this year. Not enough money! And. I think I might be in Alaska at the time. But yeah, maybe next year. Sounds like a good time.)

Uh. What else. One of my cats is getting fatter. I didn't think this was possible, but there it is. The cat can comfortably whale-out on her back without any issues. Most cats can't do this because their spine tips them one way or another. Hers used to. This cat seriously needs a treadmill.

Been working out a lot more lately. Push ups have been the bane of my armpits. I'm working muscles that have been too long neglected. Its painful, but in a good way. Very satisfying. I've also been using the weights and am considering upping from the 10lb bells to something more challenging. I suppose I could just use the cat.

O__O *threatens to slide out of his leather chair*

Daaaang. Okay. My cat ain't that bad. If she ever threatens to get that bad, believe you me, I will make a new and terrifying game called "But Hanni the vacuum cleaner just wants to be your friend!!!" just to make her exercise. .. Not that this doesn't happen already, but its usually a side effect of routine cleaning and a dash of I-can't-help-myself as opposed to cleaning being the side effect of enforcing fat cat cardio.

*grins and reseats*

Well, I suppose I should be grateful the cat that can't reach certain areas to clean is also the cat who tolerates a bath. (My other one, ooooh no way am I ever putting him near the tub again. The last time I tried, I swear he threatened to scream his voice box out his face as soon as one toe broke the surface.)

yeah I'd scowl at you cuz I'm jealous but I imagine that smells good. **tries to cyber sniff "sniff-sniff"

There's been plenty of times where I get caught talking about food with people online while having no food in my apartment to satisfy the inevitable occurrence of OH-GOD-FOOD-NOW that follows. Its in these moments where I conjure up images of food scanners (which resemble toaster ovens) and the ability to email food from one person to the next through these food scanners.

If such thing were ever made possible, I would immediately invest every penny into Spam stock. At least in the very beginning, cause you KNOW sending real Spam will be the-thing-to-do for a while. Well. At least for good-humored citizens. Ill-humored citizens might scan and send flaming bags of stuff nobody wants.

The weekend can always start whenever we say it does B)

AJ: You defnately can check in when you need to.

Jamison Greene Topic: I love Jamison Greene. Never got to read Visible Man, thats still something I need to do.

I did get to see him live and in person though at Southern Comfort last year. That was a big deal for me. Southern Comfort itself was AMAAAAZING. I would encourage anyone who can to attend on whatever year they can to do it, just to feel what it feels like to be surrounded with that many trans people and that many trans brothers.

Poker, anyone? Maybe some no-limit Texas Hold 'Em? If this is a man-party, we must play either poker or... lawn darts. Lawn darts are mad dangerous.

Is anyone besides Evan and I old enough to remember lawn darts?

Aw man! My old neighbors had lawn darts. Its all well and good until you start targeting your friends. c_c We didn't have any major injuries though. What got us covered in welts was.... The Hickory Wars.

*feigns a grim, war-worn look on his face and pulls down his hat to shadow his eyes*

The Hickory Wars fell upon the street roughly around 1987 and lasted into 1991. The true end of the war is still a matter of debate and some say the peace is tenuous at best.

Particular times of the year where favored for battle, most often occurring when the fruit of the tree were the most hard and dense. This was quite the prolific hickory tree, you see, that rooted itself in the side yard between these great warring houses of old. It provided much ammunition for both, though the gathering of such munitions was quite risky. Only the bravest (or the most dim) would dare do the collecting for the fighters.

The gatherers, you must realize, where in the direct fire line. These were not like wars before where simple throwing techniques were applied by hand alone. Oh no. These were the days in which father's bought their boys professional grade, hunting sling shots. (Aaaw yeah!) Really, its a wonder no one lost an eye or suffered lasting damage. (Though in the case of one of the younger members of the opposition, this is debatable. She never was quite with it.)

*loses the hat and grins*

Lawn darts were the least of our worries. We had BB rifles that would put Red Rider to bed crying. ;) Honestly! The kids on the street turned out pretty okay regardless! Everyone had a good heart, we just liked to play hard. Though.. hmm.. I guess mentioning all of this kinda puts me out of the running for picking out games around here. *shifty eyes* I promise if we play lawn darts that I won't throw them at anything that moves. (Which means you should all just start running now.)

We could also play Cornhole. And... we could play FLARTS. :D Game the band Hinder made up on the road that I have yet to play lol. It's like darts but you put the dartboard on the ground and throw the dart upwards but aim it for the board (i.e. like a parabola)

How's about hackey sack?

Ermmm, Something about anything termed "cornhole" is not good for me LOL. (Stands on the other side of Stranded- feels sure he likely heard the same reference). Uhhhh, Lawn Darts sound better . I'll go for poker, what the hey, its been a while.

I remember when we learned to play poker as children; lol we went through a lot of pennies in those days.

I had a girl cousin who was card shark . Used to hate to have to play her. Though her pet was spades. Made me a good spades player though.

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.

      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?

      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      It's likely most cis-women consider a fitting unnecessary "because they know what  they wear" and get used to the wrong size.  The instructions for what your size is are simple and why go to any further effort?  You measure your bandsize and you measure your max and subtract the two to get the needed info for the cup size.  Then you buy the same size for years until it hurts or something.
