I’ll add, as a trans person with the athleticism of a rock, about 75% of the sports debate is coming from transphobes. I’d be more ok with discussing the nuance if most discussions weren’t laden with a dump truck full of transphobia. The proof of this is that they’re fighting to get trans people banned from darts and chess. Also most people who claim that it’s about protecting women spend all their spare time attacking women (both cis and trans)

I honestly love bars for the social aspect above all. You can strike up a conversation with almost anyone

Lots of practice and lots of safety precautions. The more advanced stuff is flaming vapor manipulation with the mouth, don’t try it at home since that’s something you really don’t want to inhale. There’s a major psychological aspect to all of it too.

I’m a fire performer. Slow motion, high framerate shots of anything involving fire in the dark are absolutely gorgeous. Every flame is beautiful, you just have to know where to look. My favorites are candles and lycopodium.

Personal favorite form of combustion is fire eating. I used to fire eat on the cast at Coney Island. There’s a lot of vapor tech you can do that is straight up witchcraft, like hiding a flame inside your mouth.

I’ve done a lot with various forms of fire, ama

I beg to differ, I’m a corporate slave on a 13" laptop

My pet snake self cleans by taking frequent baths. It’s adorable

My line is at wet specimens.

I don’t even mind handling dead mice for my snake to eat, and I have a few small taxidermies around. I’ve even handled human teeth and had one of my own that had to get pulled (tooth fairy stole it though)

But wet specimens creep me TF out, especially if they’ve been diaphonized. I hate to say it but I’ve even seen wet human specimens (stillborns), that is a HELL FUCKING NO from me

I used to drink more during my college years. That and right after was the hardest part of my life, aside from now, but I don’t drink as much now.

Joints though, nothing beats the convenience of a nice joint. Good edibles are hard to find, drinks are nice but pricy and rarely less than 10MG, and my herbal vape (not a typical vape) is nice but feels weak. I need to break off of them. I also enjoy rolling them, it’s therapeutic.

I’m allergic to cigarette smoke and hate tobacco, thankfully

The motors that lower and raise it stop working

They’re unreliable and break constantly. At least, I’ve had to call in support for my Uplift desk twice now, and my desk at work has also stopped working. I don’t know why they’re so shitty.

Depends on the context surrounding the art and whether enjoying said art is directly funding the artist’s problematic views. Someone enjoying a Lovecraft story isn’t doing shit for him. No one’s views on race are going to change from stumbling upon his cat’s name either. Whereas someone buying a Harry Potter product is directly funding trans people’s deaths. However, someone buying a Harry Potter book secondhand is supporting local business (though I will still judge them for buying a shitty book and promoting the franchise)

Context matters a lot.

Original music: probably everything Solar Fields did for Mirror’s Edge. Not original: No Rest for the Wicked is perfect for Borderlands. Hard choices though, there’s a lot of good shit out there.

Honestly, my instincts have saved my ass too many times, twice with really big decisions

I’m a sideshow performer. One of my sillier “tricks” is eating fruit rinds.

Impossible: coconut, mandarins/clementines (you can bite them but it’s like chewing leather)

Tough: Watermelon and pineapple. Bananas are also hard because of how dry they leave the mouth. These are the ones I do most often. I like to bring someone up on stage to join me

Easy: Lemon, lime, most oranges

Better with the rind: kiwi, ripe mango
