General heads up to my followers, I'll be migrating instances in the near near future, so if you a follow request from a diff server it's me.

This thunderstorm is taking the edge off, but I'm still struggling today.

I just kind of want to say
'okay society, you win this game you made me play against my will. I'll show myself out since you're too chicken shit to kill me outright.'

I think I must have been a plant in a former life, because the color green predominates through my stories. Do you have a color that adds depth to yours?

There's no way I will go to a bar these days.
Pre transition I didn't care about the fights or the times I nearly got shot.
Men are creepy enough in daylight in public.
I've no desire to experience what I didn't notice while I was killing myself slowly at the far end of the bar 😞

Today is Red Dress Day, in honour of missing and murdered Indigenous people. In Canada, Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people are six times more likely to be murdered than their non-Indigenous counterparts.

“However, nearly four years after the release of the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and two years following the release of the National Action Plan, only two of the 231 Calls for Justice have been implemented, while an implementation timeline has yet to be released.”

Interesting. It looks like a mix of kanji, Theaban, and Cyrillic

#PennedPossibilities 305- Are there any characters of yours that you wound up HATING once you were finished with a story or WIP?

Protagonists: none

Antagonists: almost all.
They start at neutrally observed, and my hatred of them developes as they become more known to me. They are like anyone who I learn of their choices of arrogance, torture, bigotry, and undue violence.
There's one story however, where much like the antagonist I developed mixed feelings about a minor antagonist. I loathe what they did, but understand they did it to keep surviving rather than draw a line in the sand and possibly die. It doesn't absolve them of what they did, but I understand that they weren't an outright quisling or cruel person.

And to interpret the question another way, there's no characters were I've regretted their presence in a story.

@AnarchoNinaWrites
people love to be like "look at the slow march of progress!! so inspiring!" and i just start calculating up the human misery involved in every second of waiting around for society to do the obvious right thing (plus all the extra suffering visited on already-victimized people to punish them for standing up for themselves)
