@singlemaltgirl I couldnโt dress up for the day because of the weather and I work outside. But tonight Iโll be in costume. Iโm not 100% sure what Iโll be yet. I have so many pieces to choose from.
@lenaoflune Go for it. I am also Trans. Your story is of value to others. When youโre ready, of course.
NOTE: The #trans survey has lots of questions, & some are dynamic (an answer might trigger additional questions). Be prepared to spend at least 60 mins on it.
โง๏ธThey define "trans" as โanyone who identifies with a different gender than they were assigned at birth,โ so yes, #NonBinary ppl too.
โง๏ธIt's in English & Spanish.
โง๏ธYou don't need to be โoutโ
โง๏ธ The data collected here can influence far beyond academic knowledge!
I have been making wands since 2009. From humble beginnings to having my own shop. And I'm not the only multi-crafter displaying wares here. There's a dozen different makers and artists. For many, it's their first consignment experience. And what I see the most, is me coaxing them that their time and skills are worth more than what they charge. Artists societally undervalue their art. If you're an artist, don't charge less than retail. Don't cheapen it. #Art #Value #Worth #Esteem #Livelihood
Daily dose of adorable. My calico and skinny pig just chillinโ. #guineapig #cat #caturday #calico #skinnypig
@singlemaltgirl I basically had to learn all this stuff when I found out JK Rowling was a TERF and who she hangs out with. Having a business based off HP was a bloody eye opener. And I decided to keep my business based loosely off the books because it gives me a great opportunity to tell others about her hate. So many fans just think sheโs expressing her opinions. But sheโs actively doing harm and is friends with hateful bigots. Sheโs in league with and stands with them.
@singlemaltgirl Many in the LGB movement are pro life. How is that feminism?
@singlemaltgirl I bring them up because they donโt acknowledge 2S as an addition in the progressive Pride acronym, nor would they ever put it on from to the L based on theyโre current mandates. They claim to be feminist, but theyโre most likely a White Supremacist hate group at their core.
@singlemaltgirl Iโm also aware of a growing LGB grifter crowd who are anti-Transgender, so basically TERFs. Theyโre trying to gatekeep the homosexual and bisexual community from โoutsidersโ. Theyโre exclusionary not only to Trans but leather fetishists and the BDSM groups. Theyโre super critical and Conservative. The groups theyโre trying to exclude supported Gay rights from the very beginning of the Pride movement. Theyโre spreading propaganda and hatred. They claim all Trans are pedophiles.
@singlemaltgirl I do wonder if that isnโt the way it will go in the end since 2S predates colonial culture by thousands of years. It hasnโt quite caught on in my city yet. I live in Kitchener. One of the most racist cities. The Proud Boys were born here. I think from here on out, I will write it as 2S first.
What does LGBTQIA2S+ mean?
LGTBQIA2S+ is an acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and/or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit, and the countless affirmative ways in which people choose to self-identify.

In the shop until 5pm today. Iโve sold my last black pointy hat today. I still have wine, khaki, light grey, dark grey, and navy left. Iโm wearing light grey myself. Sold a wand and charm also. I think I may open the shop on Monday since itโs Halloween. #Shopkeep #SmallBusiness #Magic #Halloween #Handmade #ShopLocal #WaterlooRegion #KitchenerWaterloo #CambridgeOntario #PointyHat #WitchHat #Wand #Charm
My cat is snoring beside me. Probably time for me to go to bed. Goodnight everyone. #cat #snoring #snore #goodnight
My Twitter feed is pretty much non existent. And I haven't been logged onto here since June. Man have I been busy. Festival after festival. New habits to try. Can I post on here once a day for a month? Oct goals.

Yea, all the Pathfinder books I own are 2nd ed. I'm not sure where I could go to get first ed. Other games I've played include D&D 2nd ed, Black Sun expansion, 3.5, 5e; Mutants and Masterminds; Shadowscape, Runescape.
The handmade dice, how well did they roll? How many sides? I'm curious.
Kitchener, ON, Canada. Small business focused on wands, hats, charms, potions, Tarot. 2SLGBTQIA+ positive.
