Oh very nice! Do the cut levers prototypically only go to one side of the car on that equipment or is that a limitation for the model?

Aftertaste A toxic yuri about surviving yourself Emoria Weidner
Praise for the Bluesky Edition of Aftertaste [Aftertaste may be the best book l've ever read. @lord-goosifer.bsky.social By turns delightful, harrowing, dizzying, silly, savage, heartbreaking, and strangely hopeful @tamsin.reimaginedgirl.social I didn't see a path forward and (Aftertaste) changed that. Thank you, And fuck you, And love you. @madscutter.bsky.social I am not the same person I was going into it. Highly, HIGHLY recommended. @dollaryydoos.bsky.social Devastatingly beautiful. Marvelous! Aftertastel fundamentally changed me, and really spoke to the truth and persistence of trans existence. Every word of praise is thoroughly deserved. Aftertaste is incredibly good at hurting the reader deeply, but in All the Right Ways. @huhhowdoibluethis.bsky.social Every tender moment leaves me looking over my shoulder for the next tragedy to strike, which really encapsulates the trans experience. You'll love it. @jojosey.bsky.social 1 am begging you, if you haven't read Aftertaste yet, please fucking read it! @awkward.gay Through all the hate and bigotry, may our stories shine bright, and defiant, and messy, and beautiful forever. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. @deunode.bsky.social Aftertaste is being fully rewritten and expanded into a complete novel. A print release is in the works.

Getting to that time of the month where I do not like being stuck in a room all alone for 8 hours a day
Yeah hi new followers, I'm not on here too often, and when I am it's usually about old trains, sowwy hehe
I think there's a grand total of one steam locomotive to move away from a petroleum based completely in fuel and lubrication: GCRY 4960
genuinely I think the obsession with turning things into "productivity time" is a blight on the human condition
we could all stand to be a little less productive. constant productivity ain't getting you anything but stress as the oligarchy profits off your labor.
Time to move on to Southern >:3
The fact YouTube will interrupt you to try and force you to turn on personalized ads should be criminal, the person who ordered that implementation should be [ACTIONABLE THREAT EXPUNGED]
Pacific Coast Railroad 's number 2, a 3' gauge steeple cab electric with very low ends
Oh l so there are, my bad. There may be difficulty finding adequate information to model though
I think the only 3' road to actually electrify was the BRB&L (and they were just EMUs), it would be a lot of work and a whole new system for a single road and minimal gameplay
What does it do to your psyche when other people like you see your home and go
"I'm not going there it's too dangerous "
Like I'm here, does that just make me a casualty already? Should I resign myself to knowing that I will die here?
Teehee
Steam doll who's self conscious about her cracked whistle causing a squeaky note but it's girlfriend thinks it's the cutest thing in the world so it doesn't replace it
You lay your head on a steam doll's chest and you hear the rhythmic *chunk chunk* of an air compressor
Steam doll is the doll you want running errands in the wintertime, she's got a sanding valve so she doesn't lose traction on slippery ground and drop the groceries!
Steam doll who tries to get out of bed but her motion seizes on one side and the poor thing falls over
Steam doll who's a bit worn out and walks with a limp because her valves are out of time
Steam doll getting tummy ache from bad coal
Steam doll who's not paying enough attention to herself and primes her boiler
Steam doll getting excited and blowing her safety valve
Stepping on a steam doll's foot to automatically open the firebox doors on her belly
Steam donkey? Nonono I said "steam doll key"
A Silly Goose @lord-goosifer.bsky.social She They That may be the best book l've ever read.
What a brilliant story, absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing it
Just finished Aftertaste. First and foremost: I love you. Secondly: Fuck. l've been "dealing with stuff" for a few years. And I didn't see a good path forward. And you changed that. Thank you, and fuck you, and I love you.
through all the hate and bigotry, may our stories shine bright and defiant and messy and beautiful and forever thank you from the bottom of my heart, emoria
Since I posted the epilogue, I have received these responses, among many many more.
I am. So. Grateful. Aftertaste is meaningful to so many trans women.
That it helped more than one woman come out.
That it helped me, writing it.
I am very, very, very lucky to know all of you wonderful women.
Hi, I wrote a book. It’s a story of a trans woman discovering herself and, more importantly, surviving discovering herself. It’s masquerading as a toxic yuri. And behind it all, I’m hiding a knife.
I will cut you with this book. Then I will provide aftercare, I promise.
Read Aftertaste, Free:
Getting real scared about death again for some reason
Do you think any of the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald were eggs?
It does such that when a trans woman shows up in a modern (past three to four years) show I brace for something bad to happen with her, for her to be treated poorly by the show
Hmm... Should I cross post my steam doll posts to here..?
What a brilliant story, absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing it
There’s something about the constant stream of anti-trans news designed to psychically harm us being about our access to HRT and surgeries, and then when we freak out online about it, having ostensible trans people show up to remind us “not every trans person transitions” that feels fake as hell
