You show up for your first day at Copyright-Free Magic School. As you're going through orientation, you're informed that all new students get a school-assigned familiar that they are responsible for housing and maintaining. The staff member assures you that your assigned familiar is appropriately chosen and reflects you in some way.
Spin this to find out yours. (Remember, you are responsible for maintaining this familiar in your dorm room.)
hello again (bill clinton limewire voice) my fellow americans
There are a few states that actually have Shield/Refuge laws designed to help trans people fleeing from trans-unsafe states, which also guarantee trans folks access to healthcare. These states are:
Additionally, some states have "trans sanctuary" executive orders signifying safety for trans folks seeking healthcare. These states are:
Living as a resident in these states means you are protected by state's rights and state government to continue or begin receiving trans healthcare. These laws have been codified in their states so everything has been a-ok'd by their state governments.
Stay alive. You got this. I love you.

unironically the way origins is structured narratively is kind of genius in how each origin grants the player new means to view the world and story and it’s really a shame that the sequels don’t bother with this approach and I’d probably be willing to argue that this contributes to why the morality systems feel more complex in the first game - because the narrative and mechanics work together to allow the player to approach the same problem from multiple angles with different experiences in mind
do you know anyone asexual person irl?

Do y'all have any favorite card games?
I know this is the jaded post-irony website and we all wanna be funny, but I am genuinely asking. Please, tell me about a good memory you have with some loved ones and a stack of standard playing cards.
currently obsessed with british murder mystery tv shows where all the murders happen in the same town in every episode and everyone's just like oh yep there goes another one, just another day in shirefordtonstead
This is where the people who colonized Cabot Cove came from.
The absolutely essential aspect of these stories is complete, unbroken, total genre-blindness of all characters. If they, even momentarily, realize that their small town actually has a shockingly high murder rate, the effect is ruined. In an urban crime show like Law&Order or whatever, the cops can go to anybody on the street and say "We're investigating the murder of Jackknife Bob" and the witness is just like, "He got whacked? Oh well, I didn't do it." But in a Small Town Murder, it is absolutely imperative that everyone the detectives talked to is shocked that such a thing could happen! "Dear me, a murder? Right here in Shirefordtonstead? Good heavens!" Ma'am, it is season seven. You are the fifth proprietress of this quaint antique shop. The first three were murdered, and the fourth was the killer. In the normal, rational world, living among this high a murder rate would have a profound, dare I say traumatizing, effect on your worldview and your perception of your own safety. But you are not of the normal, rational world. Your unshakable and clearly counterfactual belief in the safety and stability in your surroundings is built into your character. And for this I love you. Never, ever change, Tiny Quaint Friendly Villages Full of Constant Murder.
It’s like the same principle I talk about to anyone who will listen: by necessity, any story with a Groundhog Day-esque time loop by necessity takes place in a universe in which Groundhog Day does not exist.

The headlines are as golden as the medals he’s previously won. But this one just had me in hysterics.

‘The injury happened close to me. I kept playing at first because I didn’t think it was that serious,’ said Morena, whose Brazil side ended up beating Angola 30-19.
‘Albertina is a friend of mine for many years. We both play in Romania. There was no way I couldn’t help her, because I knew it would be very difficult for her to leave the court.’

‘I have a special affection for her. I respect her work a lot.’
Asked what was said in their brief exchange after the gesture, Morena said: ‘She said, ‘thank you very much, my friend. Only you could lift me up. I was very hurt’.
‘Now she will recover. I hope she comes back well. We are both old, and friends who sit down for coffee and chat. We don’t have much time to go out at night, but we are lifelong friends.
