DM: As you reach the peak, you are the first ever outsider to witness The Shadowed Temple of Assassins!
Me: Hey DM?
DM: Yeah?
Me: Does this mean we're getting…a sneak peak?
DM:…a thousand blades materialize from the shadows, avoid your senses, & stab you in the back…
Me:…worth it

New MA goal for May.
Rent is going up next month with lease renewal, too. I need to get rid of some debt so I can get my head above water.
If I met this goal early in the month it would legit be life changing. Every dollar and boost helps!

See, the nice thing about having a huge lead pile of unpainted minis is when you are too broke to buy new minis you actually have something to do with your time. Like look at your huge lead pile and dream of the minis you will buy when you get paid.
Some leftists need to grasp that when far right voters tell pollsters they want mass deportations and also wealth redistribution, that's not two separate parts of their brain talking. They're not secret socialists who are just kidding about the racism. They want economic benefits *for whites only*.
New monthly goal thread - March kicked me further down and I'm TRYING to stabilize while still looking for a viable day job.
I would love it if I didn't have to do so much of the daily panic this month. Every single dollar and boost helps. 💜 Goal is high to lower debts.

Been applying for jobs every week. Only gotten two phone screener style interviews so far. Feeling a little lost. Trying to figure out if and what to pivot to instead of the games industry.
the thing this movie got completely right was the feeling of playing D&D with a good group of people
at the core of every successful party is a group of irreverent fuckasses who are ready to lean in and embrace dramatic and emotional moments but never lose sight of that irreverence

This is called "rejection sensitivity dysphoria" (RSD) and is a little discussed or known symptom of #ADHD.
Basically you get hit by waves of feeling that nobody likes you and they are going to leave you, even if all evidence shows otherwise.

I liked shopping in Target. They'd figured out how to make it pleasant, or pleasant enough.
Oh well. Too bad. They can eat a ballburger.
I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist
The way green tie turned and said "say it again bitch" 😭 now next time he needs to say her name properly. Also, I don't like that the chair got to dismiss the hearing without her being heard.
Fresh thread and goal for March. Starting out on time is SUCH a welcome change, but we are starting from zero.
Goal is set at 2500 - 1640 for rent, and then bills, basic house needs, hopefully repaying a little bit of debt.
As always, everything helps, boosts included.

New Adobe Photoshop survey is up, it sure would be a shame if it was flooded with artists leaving anti AI sentiment survey.adobe.com/jfe/form/SV_...
Guys I want to quit Twitter real bad. Please for gods sake put me in your starter packs and tell people to follow me here. It’s absolutely hell over there 🤣
I'm really hoping it loosens. I'm working my way to German fluency.

9. The new German, Austrian, and Swiss guidelines mark a significant advancement for transgender healthcare in those countries, reinforcing a growing trend in Europe toward expanding, not restricting, access to gender-affirming care.
8. They criticize the Cass Review and NHS’s rec of “psychotherapy” to cure transness: "However, it is also recommended or the ‘management of [GD] associated distress.’ None of the studies included in the review in question were able to show a reduction in gender dysphoria through psychotherapy.”"
“Medical professional societies were not recognizably involved in the preparation of the report. A so-called “Assurance Group” was appointed, but it was explicitly not involved in the development of recommendations for the Cass Review. There are reports that an “Advisory Board” was also established. The composition and specific contribution of this “Advisory Board” are not documented (Ruuska et al., 2024; Cass, 2024),” read the guidelines.
7. The guidelines slam the Cass Review, saying they do not have much applicability to the German guidelines due to severe methodological shortcomings and transparency.
They especially critique the lack of transparency in the advisory committee and the lack of expertise:
The guidelines directly recommend puberty blockers and individualized, prioritized care for transgender youth undergoing physical changes. In the section on puberty blockers, the guidelines state with a strong recommendation: “If, in individual cases, the progressive pubertal maturation development creates a time pressure in which health damage would be expected due to longer waiting times to avert irreversible bodily changes (e.g. male voice change), access to child and adolescent psychiatric or psychotherapeutic clarification and medical treatment options should be granted as quickly as possible.”

"access to child and adolescent psychiatric or psychotherapeutic clarification and medical treatment options should be granted as quickly as possible.”
5. From the outset, the guidelines explain the importance of gender affirming care, stating that there are “no proven effective treatment alternative without body-modifying medical measures for a [person with] permanently persistent gender incongruence.”
