YEAH. I somehow feel like a dying breed as a multishipper and not a self shipper 🤣🤣🤣 Not that I think there’s a problem at all with a fixed or self ship, just don’t go wild if someone else has a different one!

But, I cannot take a break. I am ready to work myself to the bone for the next 4 years. We are one of the only research teams that is still able to conduct trans relevant research, so I will keep pushing as long as I can

As someone who is unfortunately an active liker of idol games I can report that shipwars don’t seem to exist anymore and gay ships are mainstream now, but the act of shipping now requires both characters to a) never have done anything wrong in their life ever and b) be the exact same age

(Pgh averages 203 overcast days and 103 cloudy days, so that means just 59 sunny days a year!)

This thread is lovely to read as someone who has followed you from DeviantArt days, as I remember you having some rough times. I’m glad you’re in a place that makes you happy!

For context I am NIH funded and employed at a non-profit

This really hits me hard with realising how lucky I am… But you’re always welcome to chat! I was thinking of maybe making a weekly movie night on discord bc I know a lot of us are having a hard time :,(
