Magdalena's Murderous Crown
This epic plate armor of item level 559 goes in the "Head" slot. It is looted from Ordos. Added in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. Always up to date.

There's something special about seeing this item appear in a MoP database once again! :D

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

I've been terrible about following up on holiday pics for the past 2 weeks. Meanwhile, my actual trip is coming to an end: I leave for the Colombo airport in an hour to await a gloomy flight that'll take me far away from this beloved island.
Grateful for everything Sri Lanka gave me this year.

Has the Midnight Beta actually provided an explanation for why the Void wants to corrupt the Sunwell?
In what way does the Sunwell's corruption aid Xal'atath in her quest to devour Azeroth's world soul?

I really wish Bluesky would add a "remove this follower" button that didn't require me to hard nuke block them.
There's a lot of people who probably do not deserve to be blocked but I also do not want them following me.

I'm going in for a surgery this week, and I'll be on intermittent leave for the two weeks after. Unfortunately, CA Short-term Disability Insurance doesn't pay as well as my own paycheck, so that means that my income will be reduced over the next couple of weeks.

I've been leading (well starting, not like there's much leadership required) Mythic raids for both of my characters on Legion Remix for the past few weeks.
The only transgression for which I kick? Pulling the first boss of an instance before everyone's zoned in.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

For friends presently working at Blizzard: An acquaintance is considering working for the company and would like to chat with current employees to get a feel for internal culture, personal experiences, etc.
If you'd be willing to speak with them, please let me know.

Opinion: Gearing for alt characters -- specifically, reaching the maximum ilvl cap of 740 -- ought to speed up in Legion Remix.
I'd opine that this should primarily happen through higher item level caps when gear upgrades drop (i.e., +12-15 ilvls rather than the +6 range) and more Artifactum Sand.

I'm not loving the Havoc Demon Hunter build currently recommended for Legion Remix. Given how quickly almost everything (including Mythic bosses) falls over, it feels as if there are too many "setup" cooldowns to press going into a pull.
Maybe it'll feel better at higher Versatility?
