Sunday, Day 0, The Big Reveal

Plague news: Two new cases, both imports. Fifty-one total active cases, with seventeen in hospital. None in the ICU.

Now for the moment you've all been waiting for. The reveal.

The love of my life, my partner in crime, my soulmate, lifemate, and personal world's best cuddle-buddy has come out as a trans woman. I will no longer be using 'they' to refer to her, but I'm still maintaining the lack of names for safety reasons.

We're in for a wild ride and I am here for every second of it. Y'all can make a leap of logic regarding my gender for sure, but it doesn't count. I don't give a shit about my gender.

Beloved's personal goal is coding hard towards female. My personal goal is formenting confusion in the greater public because I am a chaos gremlin.

And now for the shitty bit.

Beloved can't get her gender marker on her birth certificate changed until she gets GRS. Gender Reassignment Surgery. Which means one important document will have that traitor M on it until she gets a painful, expensive, and ineffective surgery that has a high risk of threatening her life. That SUCKS.

So many trans ladies do not want to have "The Surgery" and there's reasons for that. Not limited to how the modern procedure goes forth. Go google that. It's not that nice. I'll leave it at explaining that the surgical change is purely cosmetic.

Anyway. News:

  • We are currently the most vaccinated nation, but they're telling us we'll need a third dose to be super safe
  • Engagement party-throwers are getting death threats. Say hello to the consequences of your actions you firkin Knomiras
  • Taliban horseshit
  • China threatening Australia by... not buying our steel. No worries, we'll just sell it to other people like everything else they threatened us with
  • Anti-lockdown rallies now deemed 'sickening'
  • Mum spooked by a random insect turning up on her babycam
  • Tesla unveils spooky humanoid robot
  • Some dillhole set a horse on fire
  • OnlyFans now banning the content that initially made it popular. Once more, sex workers trying to make ends meet are ousted from a platform that formerly encouraged them. Traitors

Toasty may or may not be streaming this time. Knowing in advance when the next stream is will have to happen at a later date.

Challenge #03130-H221: But We Love Them...

The crew ends up getting stuck on a Level 2 Deathworld and the Humans tame a few of the large omnivores and train them to be ridden. At least until rescue arrives.

"No you CAN'T bring it with, Humans!" -- Anon Guest

Over half of the plantlife was generically toxic. The other half had to be processed in order to be edible more than once[1]. The wildlife was neither shy nor retiring. So, of course, the Ships' Humans flakking loved it,

Saturday, Day 0, Big Leap

Plague news: One new case today, a local. There's sixty-eight total active cases, with eighteen in hospital and one in the ICU.

Today, my Beloved and I are off on the roads to reveal things that should be revealed face to face. It's an act of bravery to do this and I can only hope things are going to turn out for the best.

Time will tell.

I have to get a wriggle on, so I'm not looking at the news. Max

Challenge #03129-H220: Not the Intended Use

They'd been using the juices from a bright yellow fruit brought from the Terrans so long ago. They used it to eat away grease from engines and as an industrial-strength solvent, and to remove adhesives from various surfaces. Mixed another way, as a cleaning material that left a fairly pleasant scent. So imagine their surprise when humans were found to be plucking the fruit from the trees, mixing the juice with water and a little sugar, and drinking it! -- Anon Guest

Friday, Day 1, Gearing Up

Plague news: NO NEW CASES! Seventy-nine total active cases, with twenty-one in hospital and one in the ICU.

Anxiety is at a peak here in the household as today we PLN to get some final gussying-up before we drop the big reveal tomorrow. That will be happening after household unfuckening and maybe after Chaos returns from school.

I'm still being gentle with myself until all reasons to be panicking are dealt with. One way or another. Stress is hell on inspiration.

I'm

Challenge #03128-H219: It's Not Just a Cold

A Deregger escapee has an unusual quirk that makes them, of all things, immune to the immunoflu. Unfortunately, that means they're apt to contract the illnesses the immunoflu is meant to prevent, and catches a cold. -- Anon Guest

They told Pel he was lucky to survive. Once they discovered his truly peculiar genetic abnormality, those tellings doubled. The immunoflu was one of Humanity's Greatest Hits[1], since humanity could not contain or cure the common cold, they tamed it. Using the

Thursday, Day 0, Catching up?

Plague news: Four new cases, all imports. There's Ninety-seven total active cases, twenty-five in hospital and one in the ICU.

Today's PLN includes working on my book, working on a board, trying to tag at least half of a month for my app, and then late night shopping for nice gear with Beloved.

I want a holiday from all the recent running around. Not happening yet. Gah.

My fault for being a hermit.

In the news:

  • NZ gets one plague case, shuts

Challenge #03127-H218: Close Encounters of the Telegenic Kind

People of the Alliance go to the deadliest country on the planet Earth, Australia, and meet the happiest animal on the continent. The quokka.

https://bestlifeonline.com/quokka/ -- Lessons

This was odd for a Havenworlder tour of a Deathworld. They expected to visit the safer areas of Earth and thereby toughen up their genes via epigenetics. They were understandably alarmed to learn that they were visiting Australia. The one part of Earth that was almost at level five[1]. After the

Wednesday, Day 0, Wordpress

Plague news: Two new cases, one of each. One hundred and ten total active cases, twenty-eight in hospital and one in the ICU.

There's going to be Leyland's Tour Shenanigans this Saturday. Important family stuff. Reveals afterwards, but please don't pre-emptively panic.

More of my terrible Tiefling lad for you on my Wordpress, and I have paperwork to deal with after that. Miss Chaos needs her red tape spooled.

And I have a board to build for my D&D game,

Challenge #03126-H217: War By Other Means

Two warring factions on a planet that had often been ravaged. The people were begging for help. The humans came and taught them a way to continue to fight in their war without bloodshed. Now, the battlefields were silent, all of the soldiers as grim as death, were in a large building where none were allowed to speak, other than neutral judges. The battles were as fierce and as aggressive as any war could be, pawns being captured, knights rushing to save

Tuesday, Day 1, Shrinky Bzns

Plague news: NO NEW CASES! One hundred and twenty-nine total active cases, with thirty-four in hospital, one in the ICU.

It is so nice to see the numbers dwindling. I can breathe a little easier even if I am still wearing a mask.

I have already posted my story for Tale Foundry but my lucky Patrons will be seeing the extended version that I had to cut because word limits.

Today is not a good day for internets in this household so

Challenge #03125-H216: Save Your Gluthorpian Dollars...

So y’all are fine with killing other Xenos, but then some Humans do the same thing to other Humans and it’s suddenly immoral? At least we’re consistent with our genocidal policies. -- Anon Guest

[AN: I do not condone genocide of any kind btw]

The war was over, for certain. Not because any side had won, but because there was little fight with, or even over. Most of the contested territory was radioactive, no longer fertile, and, in fact,

Monday, Day 0, AAAAAHHH!

Plague news: one new case, an import. Finally, a local doughnut day! There's still one hundred and forty-five total active cases, with thirty-four in hospital and one in the ICU.

There is some immense relief going on in my heart with this news. Beloved has come to some revelations over the past week and we are headed for some reveals at an unspecified time in the future.

Our relationship persists, despite opinions about identities from the family. I can say it will

Challenge #03124-H215: Essential Enforcement

It's from this, but more from the prompts.

The lords of the realm now must face the wrath of their people. But rather than being killed, their people turn on them and drag them before the king in chains demanding the king teach these errant lords a lesson about mistreating the people they are supposed to care for.

Sunday, Day 0, Door Day

Plague news: Seven new cases - six local, one import. One hundred and sixty-five total cases, forty-one in hospital and one in the ICU.

We have one door painted and ready for the rest of the nonsense. Which is waiting on my personal energies. Which is not a thing on Sundays -_-

Beloved has made the unwise decision to keep my hours with me. I may never know why they decided this, but it's their bad decision to make.

I am
