I abhor people like Benjamin Lyon, whatever account name he's using now. People like him treat child sexual abuse and exploitation as an absolute joke, an accusation they can throw around as a weapon to hurt people they don't like for whatever reason. It's disgusting.
More info on what I'm talking about, re: Benjamin Lyon treating child sexual abuse and exploitation as a joke and a meme he can use to attack people.

He 100% knows the picture he reported Hillary for was not sexual, pornographic, abusive, or exploitative, but he plays his schtick to the hilt in comments, talking about protecting children from predators.
Apparently his current account name is SaftWellerMom, for the moment. I suggest pre-emptive blocking, which won't fully protect you from his trolling because he has a bunch of alts, but minimizes the chances he'll see something he can seize on to fake up mass-report against.

Got to say that today, post-travel, I am very tired and I feel like I could easily spend the whole day in bed, but I am not deep-in-the-bone exhausted the way I would have been after an all-day plane trip.
And this is with me having too much luggage in both mass and volume for me to reasonably manage, and with the train trip being overnight meaning I did not appreciably sleep the night before I got home.
Somebody asked me why they should pay more money to take a train than it would cost to fly there. I'm not actually out to convince anyone. I shared my observations about train travel for people who are considering it.

But. Flying sucks hard.

So I had a good time on my trip. Learned a few things about myself, post-vaccine life, and rail travel that I think will be useful in the future.
One big thing is basically that while I drastically prefer trains over planes, there are limits to how much travel comfort you can purchase at the consumer mass transit level. My sleep needs are highly particular and few vehicles are likely to hit the necessary sweet spots.
The private bathrooms in Amtrak sleeper rooms are *almost* but not entirely impossible to use for someone with my exact body shape and level of flexibility. This isn't just about being fat but it's also not not about that.

The "gay awakening" where I realized I liked guys or the one where I realized I liked girls?
Gay/bi/pan trans people - who was your first "Do I want to be with them... or be with them?" awake?

Mine, I was recently reminded, was Turtle Wexler from The Westing Game.
Deleted and reposted the preceding tweet to remove a QT that seemed to be confusing people about what I was asking.

The lack of an actual on-ramp product for D&D since the 90s has been something that has weighed on me before. Back in the 4E days when I mentioned this on the then-official forums, I got a chorus of boos from people who think it's *better*, if not *necessary*, to be inducted.
I was from a small town that didn't have a hobby store, I couldn't drive, and if my siblings and I hadn't (mostly) figured out what RPGs were and how to run them ourselves, I would never have gotten into the hobby.
And the kind of starter kit products that proliferated around the 80s and 90s really helped a lot there.

Straight couples will start dry-humping each other in family amusement parks if the wait for Space Mountain is more than five minutes but sure, keeping latex and leather out of Pride is just about holding our community to the same standards.
Lot of people with fewer than 20 followers replying to the preceding tweet as though "straight couples getting it on in lines" isn't a known and well-attested phenomenon.

The Onion did a whole bit on it.

At least two people have pointed out that the cliched getting-it-on-in-lines straight couple is a target for scorn as though this is somehow relevant to the point I'm making.

I don't want to QT anyone but I do want to use this as an example of something.

ack when my mother was alive, she used to give me money for my birthday, but a few weeks before, so that we could have some nice meals out when we travel on Memorial Day.

If you'd like to help me keep this birthday tradition alive, please feel free.

(Now with working link.)
...and in fixing the link, I screwed up the first word. Ah, well. Such is life.
