It occurs to me to wonder, have you ever stumbled across the Society for Creative Anachronism?

I'm familiar! My main problem is that 1. I'm just not that interested in roleplay, fantasy or historical, and 2. most of what I make tends to fall more in the Edwardian-Victorian stylistic range or is just straight fantasy, not really that historically based. I love to learn how stuff was done but I am an adapter, not a recreationist. Like, I'm aiming more for Howl Pendragon than Arthur Pendragon, y'know? Most of the SCA groups in my region tend to land pretty solidly medieval.

Honestly, I'm a set designer/stage manager left loose without a theater to haunt. That is genuinely where my base skillset comes from, but my work and ceramics schedule is not well adapted to letting me get involved in theater. I am really not a person that enjoys acting, and both LARP and SCA tend to involve a fair bit of it. (And yes, I know I don't have to role-play to participate but also I am not a person who is going to roll up to the event and then not participate, so I'm just gonna try my best and be mediocre, which is of course a fate worse than death.)

I've been talking with a couple friends about trying to get involved with local LARP or SCA groups just because we agree that we need more nerds in our lives but simply cannot sustain more DnD campaigns. I'm open to giving it a shot and then winding my way to more of an event management/set/props role, which is where I do best, but it's hard to figure out where to start.

We're probably gonna give this Hobbit thing a try and see how we like it, and then go from there. I have been scouting around a little bit to try to get the lay of the land here in Michigan; figure out what our options are.

Don't let republicans fool you with their national populism cause they do not give a single care for veterans who died and suffered for America. They would hollow out the VA and fill it corporate and political stooges who would blindly follow the GOP's bidding. Our government doesn't care enough for veterans and here we have Republicans confirming it, remember it was Biden who passed the CARE act. So remember a future where our soldiers suffer more than they already do is what the Republicans want.

the way that even in early usa, extended families often lived together or within walking distance

the idea that each nuclear family should have its own house, own appliances, own everything and that adult children should move out at 18 is a relatively recent post-WWII, suburbanization-era invention

and it just so happens to be highly profitable

Just a reminder the Republicans are a party filled with racists otherwise the house GOP wouldn't have to explicitly tell other republicans to not attack Kamala Harris based on her race or skin tone. Weren't the Republicans and other conservatives talking about judging people based on their character and not on the tone of their skin, guess those guys missed the memo? It's darkly funny they even have reign this in at all, despite all the criticisms you could have of the democratic party they've never have had to keep racism within the party in check for decades especially not now. So keep up the good fight and don't stop spreading awareness of project 2025 peeps, we have our democracy to save!

Are you transgender and scared of the future of America? Here is how you can keep yourself safe.

The results of this election are not at all what we expected or wanted them to be. While this is incredibly unfair and there is a strong likely hood that Trump cheated, we must move on. The government, and our country has failed us. The next four years are looking to be very dark for people of color, women, immigrants, queer and transgender people. These times are very frightening, but we still have time before things change. Trump will not be in office until inauguration day, which is Monday, the 20th of January 2025. While we do not know exactly what will happen to transgender people after Trump is in office, project 2025 is stated to remove protections of LGBTQ+ individuals.

So, what can transgender people in America do to stay safe in Trump's America? First, know the safety of where you live. Many states, even states that were red in this election, have laws that protect transgender individuals in hate crime laws, and how they regulate gender. Lgbtmaps is a wonderful resource to figure out if your state is safe. If you live in a state that is generally not safe for transgender people and moving somewhere safer (such as states in New England, New York, California etc.) is an option, you should do so now. For those that live in unsafe areas and cannot leave, you still have options.

If you are on HRT, consider stockpiling your hormones. Testosterone and estrogen can be purchased online. This site can show you how to get hormones online. IF you purchase hormones online, be cautious and do your research on the website you are purchasing from. If you can, use a prepaid visa card instead of a credit or debit card. Producing your own hormones is an option, but this should be a LAST RESORT option. Passing, though unnecessary in trans places, will become extremely important as aggression against transgender people becomes more rampant under Trump's reign.

For transgender men, consider binding using trans-tape or KT tape (around $5 at Walmart for the generic brand) instead of using a binder. Using tape is generally safer, you can wear it 24/7 without having to take binding breaks. If you decide to wear tape instead of a binder, watch a tutorial before using. Packing may also be necessary, using something as simple as a folded pair of socks can give the illusion of being male. Do not fear using the men's bathroom, most cisgender men are stupid don't know transgender men exist, let alone use their bathrooms. Using a 'stand to pee' device may be helpful, but most men do not think anything of a man peeing sitting down (if you are questioned, you have diarrhea).

For transgender women, you can wear a face mask in public if you have traces of facial hair, this can also help to disguise your voice. Tucking generally will make or break your passing, but you can wear loose clothing such as skirts and dresses as an alternative. Since I am not a transgender woman, I don't have all of the tips and tricks that transgender women might have, if you have specific questions for passing in female spaces there are resources such as the mtf subreddit where you can get advice from people who are in the same place you are.

This is also the time to change your name, and if possible, your sex, on your id and birth certificate. Changing your name is a relatively easy process in most states, and most states do not require publication of name change statements. Your state's government website should have information about how you can change your name. In 2022 and living in Massachusetts, it took me just a few days for my name change to be finalized, though this will differ based on where you live.

If you live in one of the twenty-five states that allows it, you can even amend your birth certificate to show your preferred sex without even having sex reassignment surgery! This process, at least for me, was somewhat of a lengthy process but the result is your future employers never needing to know that you are transgender. Most cisgender people do not even know that this is an option. This will be easiest for people who have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a doctor, but if you are on HRT, you already have that. Specific states have different laws and processes, so be sure to check your state's government website for what you need and how to go about it. I underwent this process in Massachusetts, so if you have any questions about how this looks in Massachusetts, send me a message.

Most states allow gender markers on IDs to be changed, some even allow an 'X' to be marked instead of 'M' or 'F'.

Overall, be safe and careful. These are just tips on what you can do now while things are still safe. There is no telling what the future will hold, but we can control the present. To all of my trans siblings, we will get through this. The world is a better place with you in it. Do not let them take away your identity. Be there for your friends.

I have had two and a half particularly hellish weeks with so many tech hiccups, appointments, obligations, etc etc... Everyone who's waiting on a commission: thank you so much for your patience! I have been slowly chipping away at some! Also, I probably missed so much cool stuff on my dash lately, never hesitate to tag me in things (I also track #elvenbeard). I miss the blorbos, and I'm looking forward to my 3-week-leave from my dayjob now - not because I don't like my job, I do actually, but bc so much stuff has piled up here and there, I hope I can tackle most of it in a timely manner XD

Anyway, sorry for the inactivity and lack of interaction and updates as of late. What I can say is, that even while I dont get to hang out in Night City as much as I want to lately, the blorbos are all-time mental companions.
