If I Sound Like a Broken Record...

...blame the writing prompts. Today's is "What revolution will you lead?"

I feel like I covered that in my elevator pitch post. But if I had to name said revolution, I would reference a picture I found on Pinterest who knows how long ago and declare it The Gay Shakespeare Revolution.

I really wish I knew the original poster of this image. They might've literally changed my life by hitting me over the head with the fact that more needed to be written and that I was someone who could do it.

The Gender Unicorn Series: What is Gender Expression

Welcome to part two of the Gender Unicorn series! To recap, this is the Gender Unicorn: www.transstudent.org /gender The Gender Unicorn helps explain the differences between gender identity, gender expression, sex, physical attraction, and romantic attraction and the scales upon which those things exist. I'm here to clear up some of the terminology. Today's phrase of the day is "gender expression." This one isn't really complicated. Gender expression is the way a person conveys their gender identity to the world through their appearance and behavior. The three arrows represent the scales of femininity, masculinity, or otherness a person may exist on when expressing their gender identity.

Coming up with plans of action to get out of a rut Researching business ideas Building websites Editing Creating and polishing appear to be what I'm wired to enjoy. I like other things and might be content doing them for a while... But whenever I return to my things it's like I've surfaced after being underwater for a long time. Swimming is fun. But air is needed to survive. ~Liss

My Office

My dream office would be a bright white room with a single pink wall. Or whatever color happened to be my favorite when I painted it. There'd be a couch, lots of light, an end table with a printer, and the colored wall would be covered with white boards and cork boards and probably a bunch of different colored Post-It notes with random ideas and character designs. Link to image here I'd eschew the traditional desk and roll-y chair, and use a lap-desk on my couch. The soundtrack to Saints Row: The Third would be playing in the background. (It helps me concentrate more than any other soundtrack I've tried, couldn't tell you why.) For now, I take my lap-desk and laptop and plonk myself down anywhere with an outlet that I can hear myself think without being deafened by absolute silence. And if I never get a whole room, I'll totally be okay simply having one of those rolling whiteboards as a miniaturized Wall of Madness somewhere near a sufficiently comfy...
