I can see that. It's like a more competent Ep 9. A springboard for other people to do cooler EU stuff, but on its own, not so much.

Oh agreed here too. The production and aesthetic is spot on. Just not as interesting as I wish.

Yeah that was a pretty easy call so didn't actually have a big oomph moment. Like go back to the queer space witches. Go back to the people trying to use the force outside the Jedi-Sith binary. The show teases cooler things than it's giving us

It picks up but it's not as good as the others. The show wants the Jedi to be the good guys, but ACAB includes Jedi cops. It's one of those things that's put together well but focuses on the least interesting angle.

I can barely get my kid to share the PS4 with me. Old, cheap, games on Steam are all I got. I want to play for an hour and put it down for a week and not worry that I forgot how to play. Deep Rock Galactic and Borderlands 2 are my current jams but at the limit of what my laptop can handle.

I had 3 accounts at one point. My main one was attached to an email I don't have access to anymore so I can't get it back. Just sitting there. The one attached to my Gmail is only from 08 with none of the cool stuff I bought on the main.

Eh priced out of all the current games ages ago. I got excited when PS5 came out cause I figured I could afford a PS4 then. I want a lazy game group. I quit World of Warcraft when the kiddo was born cause it was like having a 2nd job to do anything interesting.

I wish there was a Charlie Jane Anders style "Trans Nerd Meetup" around here but I'm no extrovert to organize it and I don't have enough money to build a proper Warhammer army and find the trans femmes at the Warhammer store

Yup. The PFLAG group in PVD is in the hood so I go up to North Attleboro in Mass... mill town turned supersuburb "city"... got lucky there's more trans than anyone else there... but that's 3 out of 7? Small group. Need to start going again.

Mary the Eggbreaker! Ha! Looking back now, I was always a lesbian stereotype. Subaru, flannel (hell, the same ones I had in college still), Docs, power tools... just needed the estrogen.

Oof. Hard agree. I know every group of people has some that are shitty humans, but seeing other trans women be shitty feels like betrayal.

As a middle aged punk I've had to explain to people that before the bigot fascists, "skinhead" meant "working class Brit or Irish factory worker punk or ska fans" which is why the term "Punks and skins" still shows up in the Boston punk scene with all the Irish expats

But yeah... Ogunquit was queer af when I vacationed there a couple years ago but you're up in the sticks, right? I've at least got PVD nearby even if I'm not extroverted enough to go play with the LGBTQIA young'uns

You mentioned wife at one point but the context was such that it might have been metaphorical or something? I saw it and was all "not surprising, but I thought she had a dude" but not something that had enough heft to it to ask about

Huh. I guess they changed better than I figured. Only on HRT for 4 months at that point. The important parts are taking their sweet ass time. Push up B cup might make a skinny little thing pass, but I got no chance til it's at least a D. Stupid 6-2 height tho my wife swears I've shrunk.

"Oooh that makes sense" remains the most common response I've gotten. Even my kid was all "I effing knew it" Best was my SIL that said "Damnit I coulda won 20 bucks" cause apparently there was a pool going around.

Both the Work Siblings have also semi randomly brought up how most of the QA department already suspects I'm trans. It's like they're fishing for me to say it. 😄

I think my work siblings have low key figured I'm trans at this point. I was commiserating with the Work Sister about how the new thrifted pants have a tiny *back* pocket too small for my phone and she just announced "Welcome to the world of women's pants"

That is very interesting. In Yoruba, the 'je' part is the verb 'to eat'. The noun 'idi' is 'ass'.

I haven't watched this in years. I forgot they were all middle schoolers at the start. Did the English dub make them high schoolers or did my brain just not remember?

Anyways. Because I watched an English dub on a NYC TV network at 530am in the 90s, I still think of Sailor Moon as Serena, not Usagi

This was pre Pokémon opening the door to anime for the masses. Before DragonBall. To watch anime in the late 90s I rented quasi legal Hong Kong fan subs from my LGS (which they bootlegged, so they didn't mind that I bootlegged from them)

Confession... I always dig Sailor Moon. For some reason growing up in eastern CT, my cable carried a NYC indie channel. One time when I was sick, Sailor Moon came on this at 530am and I felt too cruddy to find the remote. And I got hooked.
