Honestly, I've never really gotten this feature to work, so I never schedule updates like that anymore. Many other authors have also had problems with readers not being notified, etc. This has happened both when I've edited scheduled updates and when I haven't. As far as I'm concerned, that feature is broken.
Thank you, tim. Trans women of colour are also over-represented in the statistics, so there's a fair bit of racism and misogyny that goes into this as well. It's horrifying, and I'm afraid for my trans family. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. It means a lot.

They did not return to the feast, though Jair had not eaten. Instead, they circled around to Jair’s house, avoiding the village square where the people were gathered. He would let Joseph and his brothers tell the story of what had happened. He trusted Shimon and Ruben to tell it faithfully.
Entering his house, he used the torch to light his fire and his lamp, then extinguished it and sat down on the furs before the hearth. He winced, touching his hand to his side. It came away red with blood
The day was grey and wet. It had seen the first rainfall of the season and the dry earth underneath had turned to mud. Epheriel watched the world, the way it knew it must. It was its nature. It was a watcher, a lower caste of angel, created to observe mankind and nothing more.
It had been assigned this little part of this little world to watch. It was a small village, with kind little people, though lately, Epheriel had sensed a disturbance among them. Someone here carried evil intent.

So this was announced on Thursday.
“Xbox Game Studios just published its latest game, Tell Me Why, the first mainstream game from a major publisher that features a transgender character as the playable lead hero.

*her. She's a girl.
That's a lovely video. I love how it's all black and white until she gets the dress and then the colour kicks in as she becomes who she was always meant to be. ❤️
it keeps returning
again and again
my mind churning
and i feel like nothing
like no one again
i’m only this thing
my brain is only
a receptacle for mad thoughts
it leaves me lonely
and what i feel
is so fucked up
it can’t be real
my words turn to ash
when nobody reads them
gone in a flash
cycling again
spiralling out of control
i wax and i wane
and no wonder they won’t
take me seriousl
