I'm a small (miniscule) indie writer with too many migraines and not enough income. If you'd like to help, check out my Ko-fi and consider buying something or tipping. It helps keep the lights on and the cats fed!

it's always like

>TTRPG creators complain that TTRPG journalists don't cover small games

>TTRPG journalists say their job is to report the news not be advertisers

>”the news” is always at least two headlines for every D&D book or whatever movie-budget D&D actual play podcast is coming out next

As pointed out on the tumblr version of this post, only covering things that have already done $50K+ on kickstarter isn't really great news reporting either. We all already know about it, that's why it did $50K+ on kickstarter.

Whistling in public was considered a bit crass, at least by people concerned with Proper Behaviour. Working men and poor people did it to pass the time. Ladies were advised to avoid whistling, which became "women can't whistle", which became "homosexuals can't whistle."

The fact that this memoir somehow survived over a century, completely uncensored and unaltered, is a fucking miracle to anyone who knows even the slightest bit about the history of censorship in this period.

HA I KNEW THAT COMSTOCK WAS A TRANSPHOBIC BASTARD, I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

This was one of the biggest missing links thats been holding back A Brief History part five Jennie I love you so much holy shit.

We are SO back.
I am here reminded of two conferences with Mr. An- thony Comstock, because part of his business while alive was that of hunting down inverts and haling them off to prison. By the irony of fate, I was during my college days nicknamed after this gentleman because on hearing an obscene remark by a fellow student, my features in- voluntarily expressed shock and disapproval, probably due to my having the mind of a woman. But in 1900, as soon as I had this autobiography ready for publication, I submitted it to Mr. Comstock in order to ascertain whether it could be circulated. He was then a Post- Office Department inspector, with power to prosecute for shipping "obscene" matter by common carrier. He read considerable of the manuscript of this book, and stated on handing it back that he would have" destroyed it but for the fact that I impressed him as a person not having any evil intent." وو

Damn the book was first written in *1899.*

Ironically one of my biggest worries about this book is that it might break my spreadsheet 🥲 I've been putting in /18 for 2018 dates and I'm realllllly hoping that I'm not gonna confuse the software in a way that requires me to manually update every date.

Alright I need a short story break before I dive back into another gargantuan anthology, so let's read one of the oldest transfemme books I'm aware of!

Autobiography of an Androgyne is one of the earliest "trans memoirs," published a solid 15 years before the commonly cited 'first' trans memoir.

ive said this before, but the dissonance of marketing AI as an absolute source of unlimited intelligence (the implication being some sort of factuality or neutrality), while a few very wealthy humans manually carve it to say the things they want, should be ringing alarm bells for everyone

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
