Yeah I can recommend it and it's just two seasons so it's doable.

Regarding the garlic, well, it doesn't bother them one bit. But they don't like to eat it because all human food tastes like soap or paper, they only like blood.

However there are people using garlic and crosses against vampires out of superstition. And some vampires seemed to be afraid of crosses, but only because of superstition on their own side.

I watched the series Interview with a Vampire. It has a nice gay relationship in it and it's pretty well written.

That's true and that's exactly what the messengers are for. Have you further considered that mastodon can be used for obtaining information from sources outside your jurisdiction? Walled gardens in the US can censor.

The first step is networking through secure communication, especially at this early stage where we simply can't predict what is or isn't going to happen. Don't underestimate the importance and value of communication.

Helping others when you need help, because eventually it'll become so easy that you can even help yourself.

Neverending obsession people have with sex. Yes, I get it, it's fun, and adventurous, and all those other amazing things. Can I just enjoy the rest of my life now?

Could you elaborate a bit? A book is too much for me.

Just cycled past this town hall in Belgium. Also lots of churches here hang the flag, including the progressive trans one. In other countries too. In the smallest towns to the biggest cities.

I know that it might seem a bit mean of me to dangle this in front of you, but I just mean to say that there's a way forward and hope.

It's good for all of us to be privacy literate, given that things can take a turn for the worse in many places, or already are bad. There was a post a few days ago that highlighted how the vast majority of trans people rely on internet access 🤔

I'll start by saying that matrix seems to be a solid solution for communication, and tor for accessing information. It's worth it to get familiar with them before you need them yourself, but also to understand them as a community so we can support each other globally 🏳️‍⚧️

I am also wondering if any of you are familiar with getting around network restrictions. For example a DIY mesh network? 📡

Don't give up. Eat your breakfast. Be ready to open the door. Sometimes I just can't take it anymore. A shoe lace here, a shoe lace there, all tangled up and poor.

I ruminate in the deepest point of darkness. In the eye of the singularity and at the heart of warmth. Thuds of fire strike upon the distant shore.

I pull and I pull, but I cannot free my neck. And my face runs pale, and my experience runs thin. I gasp for air, and I let it in.

An oasis in my breath. The orange of orange juice. And I, and I can be found in the blue sky, by the grace one cannot lose.

When last night I lay in pain, I snapped this just for you, as the moon came.

Hey lovelies, open question: Are any of you into self defense and do you want to share something with the rest of us?

❤️⚔️❤️

I was at this fry shop today and the owner was teaching his new minions how to make what I had ordered. He said sir in the background. Well, I'm used to it, so whatever, I plopped my butt down and waited for that golden finger lickin' goodness.

Eventually the guy awkwardly comes to the front through a door. Acts out of place. Says something nice to this person and that person, dunno what he was up to at first so I just did my thing.

At some point he works up the courage and walks up to me and makes some small talk. Then he asked me my pronouns, so I'm like she/her. He apologized that he misgendered me before and called me adorable! 😭

Now, just yesterday someone called me a trannie before riding off on his bicycle, but that's a story for another time. Safe to say I'm a fair Claire ⭐

 

I mean, whenever I hear an alarm I ignore it, because I just hear it so often. But what if instead we used these types of alarms for real emergencies? For example a personal alarm to protect yourself.
