My inbox is as always open for Non-binary character writing and consulting.
I generally don't charge a fee if I like your project so it couldn't hurt to run your idea by me.
Most NB consultants I've run into aren't strong writers, they have the lived experience but not the storytelling skill to bridge the gaps. They also tend to lean on overused and potentially damaging stereotypes without realizing it.
I have novels of experience under my belt and by far some of the best written NB characters that currently exist in all fiction not just in novels.
I do not make the claim lightly that I am a top contender for the most creative NB consultant active on the scene.
I make characters that change how people look at themselves and the world and I wanna help you do the same because I want to see better NB characters and a grand expansion of what a NB character can be.

"I cannot figure out what I meant writing on Jul 3, 1987 that "' have an idea for a revolutionary program arranging my work and scientific experiments'... Oct 16, 1987, Fri, in 12 hours, I wrote my first SuperMemo in GW-BASIC (719 minutes of non-stop programming)."
badass. more 40-year software = more 100-year computers.
The Silmarillion is fantastic, surprisingly readable too (there are quite a few characters, but each story only involves a few key ones). The geography is the hard bit imo
I may even have enjoyed it more than The Hobbit and LOTR (don't quote me on that)
I've built up this mental image of Beleriand, which is utterly useless (i.e., has no relevance to other Tolkien stories)
The way all the histories/lineages/geographies compound on eachother is incredible. Everything echoes, and those echoes are embodied in the societies and physical landscapes
I've definitely read books that I've hated, and immediately forgotten. So at least its not one of those haha
I really like that sort of ye-olde, matter-of-fact style. Its direct and efficient. I'd like to be able to write like that (my poetry is, but my prose gets too flowery/verbose)
Is the Monomoke one like Beren & Luthien? (I need to watch Monomoke again!)

Steam Beta gets battery indicator for wireless gamepads as the new Steam Controller nears
We're hopefully not too far off the release of the new Steam Controller now, with Valve adding a battery indicator for wireless gamepads.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
re: dongle battery report
my guess is it strongly depends on whether the protocol it uses reports battery level, and if so, if it is openly reported without any esoteric tools.

The number of folks saying there's no way the name 'GIMP' ever stopped anyone from using or contributing to it is extraordinary.
I have *never* been in an office that has allowed me to install GIMP. Never. I have never even been able to get past the sniff of a pitch about GIMP.
Because of the name.
The level of disconnect people have with basic reality is refreshing. What is their world like?

Long before the Anzacs, April 25 was the day women in Australia got the right to vote
April 25 1896 was a significant date in the history of women’s legal rights in Australia.Two things happened on this day: women, including Aboriginal women, voted for the first time in Australia, thanks to a Constitutional Amendment passed by the South Australian parliament in 1894; and, in a world first, women in Australia became able to sit in parliament and participate in government.
The 1894 amendment wasn’t the first South Australian bill that gave women the right to vote, but it was the first to became law. So what was different this time?

Apart from voting, April 25 1896 was also the day women got the right to govern – in a world first.The Conversation
