Speedrunner Lifehack: Need to *not* skip cutscenes? Use duct tape and an old dippin' sauce container to fashion the worst possible equivalent of those glass covers over the big red button. #speedrun #speedrunning #icanfinallytakethisoffnow

A keyboard with its escape key covered with a small plastic sauce container, inverted, attached to the keyboard with a piece of duct tape. It is fashioned is such a way that the duct tape serves as a hinge, allowing the container to be flipped up. The container has "ESC" written on the back. The whole setup epitomizes what the kids these days call "janky".

@jpawlik.com didn't get on HRT because they didn't like needles. But when they learned about T-GEL that's absorbed through the skin, they got their T-party started!
www.ohjoysextoy.com/to-a-t-gel-j...

To A T-Gel Comic by Jey Pawlik, done in cool minty green tones with heavy blacks and black linework. Jey is a nonbinary person who uses they/them pronouns, has big rectangular glasses, short cropped hair with a few greys. They wear simple clothes like graphic tees and jeans throughout the comic.

Narration: I hemmed and hawed about going on HRT* for so long in my 20s.

A younger Jey ponders and says “Maybe I could try it? A bit more facial hair and a lower voice sounds real nice.

Note: Hormone replacement therapy

Narration: At the time, the only option that was available to me was injections at a full dose.
A needle is shown front and center.

Narration: I chickened out.

Jey sprint away telling themself “Nope! I don’t think T is for me actually!!”

Narration: Years later, I watched a friend transition using T-GEL.
Jey’s friend, who’s look has been changed for privacy, says “I’m starting T but it’s not injections—and it’s been pretty great!” we see Jey’s friend’s transition from pre-T to years on T with a full beard.

Jey looks excited and says “OH! I didn’t know that was even an option, and you look so happy! Maybe—maybe I could go on T after all!

Narration: I went through a lot of hoops to get there but eventually an endocrinologist prescribed me a dose of T-Gel that I was comfortable with as a nonbinary person.

A timeline of Jey in doctors offices, filling out mountains of paperwork, being put on long waitlists, until finally their endo says “Okay, I’ve sent your prescription off.” And Jey lifts their arms up in success “YAY!”

Narration: T-Gel is a form of topical testosterone. It can come in packets, tubes, or a pump bottle that you apply according to your prescription.

Tubes, packets and the common pump bottle of T-Gel are drawn.

Jey has their hands on their hips looking defensive as speech bubbles fill the entire background behind them, berating T-Gel and saying it’s hard to use or isn’t as good as injections. Jey says “I think it’s really amazing but I’ve also seen it get a bad rap."

Let them know what you think.

Gov. Healey: 617-725-4005
AG Campbell: 617-727-2200
Fenway: 617-267-0900

cis Bostonians specifically, we need you to step up. I'm already seeing my local trans circles raise hell about this, but we need you, too. I wrote a phone script. Use it and spread it:

Hello, my name is [name] and I'm a [transgender] constituent living in [City], Massachusetts. I'm calling to bring to Gov. Healey's attention the deeply alarming development coming from Fenway Health, in which they've recently announced they will no longer provide gender affirming healthcare to patients under the age of 19 in order to retain their federally recognized status. This is in utter direct violation of our state constitution, specifically Chapter 127, in which quote, "Access to reproductive health care services and gender-affirming health care services is a right secured by the constitution and laws of the commonwealth. Interference with this right, whether or not under the color of law, is against the public policy of the commonwealth." This is also in contradiction of Boston declaring itself a sanctuary city for transgender people, the resolution which states Boston has, quote, "a specific commitment to protecting transgender and gender-diverse individuals. Taxpayer-funded agencies shall not comply with federal efforts to strip resources that safeguard their rights. Boston will not cooperate with federal or state policies that harm transgender and gender-diverse people and remains committed to ensuring their access to healthcare...without fear or discrimination."

As Massachusetts' first openly gay Governor, I'm aware that this past August Gov. Healey signed updated Shield laws protecting gender affirming healthcare in Massachusetts. Jordina Shanks, the CEO of Fenway Health herself, said these protections are quote, "a landmark victory for health care, human dignity... and that Massachusetts stands as a national beacon of equity and compassion." I am in complete and utter disgust, yet unsurprised, that a leading institution in gender affirming healthcare is capitulating to federal threats that are not law, and acting in direct opposition to the city of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is a deep betrayal of their transgender patients. I urge Gov. Healey to bring all powers of the state to investigate and reverse this gross over-compliance on the part of Fenway Health.

Here's a very annoying one where I had to detail a fish and chip shop cooking station. Something I never want to do again.

The university compact being offered to universities requires colleges to eliminate the recognition of trans people and ban them from bathrooms, locker rooms, and gender segregated dorms.

www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

Alt text: Screenshot of text describing the "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education." It says the compact asks universities to adopt the government’s definition of gender for bathrooms, locker rooms, and women’s sports teams. It also asks colleges to stop considering race, gender, and other demographics in admissions and to require undergraduates to take the SAT or ACT.
