  1. If you have to "pass" as a woman or a man for safety reasons then do so. It undermines nothing about your true nonbinary self.

    The world is vast and often hostile. As a nonbinary person, the threats to your life are greater than many.

    Do what you must to survive.

  2. You know, the thing about masking is that you are at a double disadvantage

    In the first place, you are required to play by all sorts of rules, arbitrary, unwritten and changeable...none of which are your own

    So there is never any real success except in dealing with whelm better so it doesn't take over.

    You may do a good job faking it

    Great, now you're a faker..AND stressed

    Or more likely, that in addition to the stress.thst would be there regardless, the cracks in the mask separate you in a way to facilitate an atavistic alienation cycle

  3. I just heard that an old friend and colleague with whom I’d lost touch has died. There are lots of things to be said by people closer to them than I had become. But this person was kind, and classy, and creative. And by being all of that, they made the world, and so many other people’s lives, far better. If you know anyone like that, tell them so.

  4. Passing the Torch

    Within the transition between old and new, within a storm, a clone trooper with a torch helps guide Claudia closer and closer to the exit. While she can survive, more and more this trooper gets taken by the dust storm. And right as they get close, her begins to fade as he passes the torch to Claudia.

    With me hitting 3 decades of life soon, I wanted to do something to, well, pay tribute to my first character. Mikaru was a Jedi/Jet Trooper, but as you can probably tell he's no longer a character I even have on my big spreadsheet. But, the first step is always important. So, I drew Claudia who is at this point the big pillar in my lore and have Mikaru pass the torch. I tried to do something different with the shading on Claudia, matching the dusty flow. In the end, this is probably one of the last milestone pieces I wanted to do before the next birthday, and an apperciation of what has come before.

  6. The #paste-ups appeared all over the university:

    "Are you past or #passing or to come?"

    Across campus, the question was sparking conversations.

    "The night sky is a window into the past," Venicio said to Leo. "What we see is history."

    "I'm passing, definitely passing!" said Miranda, elated, fresh from checking her grade in accounting.

    "Then you're also to come," said Sage, giving their friend a high five.

    "Um, excuse you!" Miranda retorted. "That sounds dirty!"

  7. A quotation from Lincoln

    It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: “And this, too, shall pass away.” How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! — how consoling in the depth of affliction!

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1859-09-30), Wisconsin State Agricultural Society, Milwaukee

  8. My #househelp (very common practice in India) #verified my work and gave my #experiment a #passing #grade !
    Experiment: Get rid of Mosquitoes without harming them using safe substances.

    My materials: #Coffee, #LemonGrass & #Garlic boiled in water...

    Simply sprayed across the room... worked like a charm...

    (P.s. Anyone wondering, my system in life includes reducing my neg impact and consumption on the world (including all living and non-living things))

  9. Every time I meet someone who's "unsuccessfully" #poly (can't find anyone to #date, can't find anyone interested in more than hookups and one-night-stands, #relationships always fizzle as soon as the #NRE dies, or only ever winds up in bad/abusive relationships that end messily), it's the same few basic problems.

    Toxic #mononormativity.

    Toxic #masculinity.

    Toxic #heteronormativity.

    #Sexism.

    People who find #polyamory "easy" are the ones who have already faced these problems and named them. They might not have properly *solved* all those issues yet (goodness knows even I sometimes hide for safety behind some #passing-privilege and let people make #heteromononormative #assumptions about me, and I've been out-and-proud #non-monogamous for decades). But if you're finding #EthicalNonMonogamy difficult, it's probably one (or a combination) of those issues. And if more seasoned poly-folk roll their eyes at you and don't take the time to explain it, it's because we've heard it literally hundreds of times before.

    Which doesn't make you bad, or stupid, or even unsuited to being non-monogamous. It just means you're still early in the journey, and can't progress until you do some work.

  10. Alles über das weibliche Sprechen – #Logopädie für #trans #Frauen – Es kommt nicht auf die Tonhöhe an!

    Sie ist unbestreitbar wohl einer der wichtigsten Punkte für ein gutes #Passing – Die #Stimme. Aber was macht eine schöne, weibliche Stimme aus? Woran liegt es, das wir eine Stimme als #männlich oder als #weiblich klassifizieren? So viel sei vorab gesagt: Die #Tonhöhe, also der #Pitch, ist nur der kleinste und unwichtigste Teil!
