You don’t fit into this world because you were brought here to help create a new one. One where love is the universal language. You have the power to create and recreate yourself and no one can take that away from you. They can try to tear you down and burn you to the ground, but you will rise each and every fucking time. You are the phoenix. It is within that fire that was meant to destroy you that you find your strength.

Orcs aren’t known for their great cuisine. Orcs prefer foods that are readily available (whatever can be had by raiding), and portable with little preparation, though they have a few racial delicacies. Toughs strips of lean meat, bones scavenged from recent kills, and dark coarse bread make up the bulk of common orc rations.Fire roasted rothe femur (marrow is a rare treat) [beef femur], Strips of dried meat (of unknown origin) [homemade goose jerky], foraged nuts, only edible by orcs….nut cracker tusks [brazil nuts], coarse black bread, made with whatever grains can be pillaged [black sesame bread], Pungent peppers [Habanero peppers stuffed with smoked fish and olives].
Lizardfolk are known to be omnivores, forage for a surprising variety of foods found within the confines of their marshy environs, in this case the Lizard Marsh near Daggerford. Fresh caught boiled Delimbyr Crayfish on wild chives, coastal carrageen moss entrapping estuary brine shrimp (irish moss, dried brine shrimp), Brackish-Berries (blackberries), Blackened Dart-Frog legs (frog legs) on spring sprouts (clover sprouts), roasted bog bugs on a stick!

Dude was trans, and pioneered a lot of gynecology. Turns out there’s a movie currently being made about him, except:
Hmm.
Hmm.
HMM.
this crosses the line of plausibly deniable ignorance and careens straight into the territory of intentionally erasing our stories and our history.
im still on this actually. doctor barry’s personal notes and journals describe him feeling what we would now be able to easily identify as dysphoria and he did not work as hard as he did to be recognized as a man just to be played by a cis actress and have everything he did written off as “a woman pretending to be a man.” between this and the narrowly avoided disaster that would have been rub and tug, hollywood seems to be systematically dismantling the history of trans people and erasing our heroes, saying that the whole time, they really were just their agab. you know, the same thing that has been said about every trans person throughout history.
give this the same uproar that rub and tug got. don’t let this rest until everything about this movie is either scrapped or changed. do not let a million cis people’s introduction to doctor barry be that he was a woman when he spent so much of his life escaping that very perception.
STEM has a massive history with transphobia and in erasing and pushing LGBT out. I am so incredibly tired of seeing LGBT people, trans people especially’s contributions and life’s work to science erased or worse yet being misgendered even in death.
Trans people have always been apart of science, have always made some of the biggest discoveries and contributions to science and yet even in death we can’t be respected.
My grandmother has a framed photo of David Duchovny as Mulder hanging on her wall. It’s not like a signed photo of David Duchovny or anything, it’s literally just a picture of Mulder.
