my aunt was a member of the lesbian avengers in the late 90s and her chapter had it's own zine and i took some pictures of a few pages
my personal favorite is the letter template which i honestly might make copies of
i think it's very cool that this group (or at least this chapter) was openly trans-inclusive especially in the 90s when TERF rhetoric was extremely prevalent

Old Number 5 - Corvallis, Oregon
Baldwin Locomotive - September 2006
From a 2022 Reddit Post by versuchsflakwagen about the locomotive:
Georgia Pacific #5 a 2-8-2 "Mikado" type engine, built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1922. Under the Baldwin designation system, it is a 12-30 1/4 E 85 engine. It was given road number 5, and was completed and delivered to the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co. on May 6 1922. At some point, it (I have not been able to find an exact date) it was acquired by the Alaska Junk Co. (located in Portland, Oregon). Later, in 1956, it was purchased by Georgia Pacific and put to work in Toledo, Oregon on a recently acquired line of track going from Yaquina-Toledo-Selitz-Monmouth. In December of 1959, it was abandoned, and the following year, 1960, was gifted to the City of Corvallis.
According to the plaque located at the engine today, the date of said exchange was September 28, 1960, and was done through the Corvallis Lions Club. Ever since then, it has been on public display at Avery Park in Corvallis, Oregon. Some railings were added on to the engine in order to make it a safer place for children, as well as many of the interior aspects being welded shut. It periodically receives new paint, and all in all, it is very well taken care of, and sits on some specially laid track. The thing is living out its retirement in absolute bliss. It's 100 years old now, and has been a local landmark and favorite spot for over 60 years (long enough that there's a black and white photo of it there in the park).
Here is a screenshot from the Baldwin Locomotive Works documents detailing the construction and detailing of this locomotive, and the full docs can be found here (page 128 in the pdf, 198-199 in the original book). All the SMU Baldwin archives are here. Also, since there's so little info, I'm just kinda blindly trusting this site for the basic info, so if I'm completely wrong, then sorry."

It is a Carte Blanche to create your own fate that most girls in your position would dream of.

POV: You are Jasper. You are meeting your newest charge, (and future wife) for the first time. Her beautiful smile drops for just a second as she meets your gaze. She is doing her Level Best not to melt into a blushing puddle.
This beautiful commission of my main MC for Seven Kingdoms: The Princess Problem by @azalynestudios, Yasmin, was done for me by RaineSeryn on deviantart. So happy I finally got all the legendary endings and Jasper's epilogues (AND all three friendship epilogues at the same time) all for the first time earlier this week!! Receiving this finished piece today is the cherry on top~ 💖
((Info Page coming soon.))

"I... May... I don't know, a sample size of three isn't great, but I do like it when a guy is real grumpy on the outside but good on the inside. And also Corval."
