Lt. Commander Worf’s personal log, stardate 48713.6

Attendance at morning exercise classes is still minimal. Doctor Bashir insists on referring to them as “yoga classes.” Unfortunately it would be dishonorable to challenge so small a man to combat. 

Chief O’Brien has requested that I “catsit” while he is away on the Defiant. I am relieved that he did not ask me to tell the animal it is pretty; however, it repeatedly knocks my prune juice glass off of the console. 

It has just done it yet again. Worf out.

Ok, but what if Ferengi have really developed inner ear structures, too? And are like secrete balance/agility masters? What if being in space/artificial gravity really messes with their proprioception? What if this is why Quark never stops shifting around?

(Here, have an article that barely relates: http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2009/04/20/inner-ear-size-can-predict-a-mammals-agility/)

Male writers writing female characters:

“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”

Yes these are things I do each morning

Same scene in the hands of a female writer:

“Cassandra woke abruptly, jarred into consciousness by the distinctive pain of her cat stepping on her boob.”

this is Hourou Musuko, an anime/manga about a young trans girl and her friends, all figuring out their gender identity and sexual orientations

takayababy

yo yo i just double-checked and it is a real thing and also available on crunchyroll for free!

transtrendsetter

It’s also on KissAnime for free which is a website I recommend 1000 times more since they provide HQ anime without having to pay anything, and they have a wider selection than Crunchyroll

I watched the first episode. I can’t vouch for the rest of it but the first episode made my heart swell a bit. A lot of it is about finding those people that you can make your guides and role models, and that’s not something I feel like we get to see a lot, we see the kids just left to forge through on their own in the big and scary.

Wavedash why did you do this to me.

The anime seems to grab just a slice of the full manga’s story (obviously) but despite Horou Musuko being one of my favorite manga of all time, I never did finish the anime.  I didn’t think it was all that interesting an adaptation, and it’s so good as a comic.

The Horou Musuko manga is not only good, it’s really important.  It follow a transgender girl and a transgender boy and it follows them encountering and struggling with:

  • dysphoria
  • trans* objectification
  • the intersection of gender identity and sexuality
  • passing
  • puberty
  • what adult life will be like as a trans* person
  • experimenting with (“trying on”) gender signifiers
  • evolving identities
  • binary questioning
  • being a partner to a trans* person

All while mired in Japanese society and expectations.

Luckily for EVERYONE, Fantagraphics press is translating and publishing the comic is BEAUTIFUL hardbound volumes.

But if you don’t have the money, I know you can easily find scanlations online, which are translated all the way to the end (Fantagraphics is about half way.)

That comic about trans* youth you were always looking for?

Here it is.

The mystery deepens….

cos they salty

honoriaw

where is this?!?!!

English language clickbait = most likely, though certainly not necessarily, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand

Reference to “Moose” rather than “Alg” or “elk” as the rest of the world refers to the large hoofed mammal Alces alces = somewhere on the North American continent (USA, Canada or possibly Mexico)

Celsius temperature = a country that is not the United States of America

Feels like -26c = most likely Canada

“Province” rather than state, county, territory etc = I’ll go with Canada

Warning, Here Come the Car-Licking Moose = Yeah, It’s Canada

Incredible Encounter With Car-Licking Moose, Probably Heartwarming = Extremely Canada

Salty Moose Who Crave The Mineral = Dangerously High Levels of Canada

bluecole

moose and elk are not the same things at all.  Alces alces is a moose, and  Cervus canadensis are elk. 

älg and moose are the same thing, as both of them are Alces alces

But yes this is in Canada, and all it is is that moose lick the salt off cars. They were using cars like a giant salt lick in the winter as we salt the roads and it gets all over your car.
