Studio Ghibli (and anime more generally) may have the answer you're looking for. Adults can do voice work for children, and they can be animated. There's no need to "employ" actual children.

Now I want to make a site with a year baked into the name, and change it drastically over time, so I can write a sentence like "The Bingle 2017 of 2018 or today is much different than the Bingle 2017 of 2020, or even yesterday."

Why did they feel the 'need' to enact anti-sodomy laws which sometimes even specifically mentioned same-sex relationships if there were no gay people?

My mom has moved onto the Bargaining phase from Denial, pivoting to saying, "well sure there were always a few, but most of them now are doing it because it's popular, and aren't 'real' gay people".

Even for a neoliberal centrist, I'm shocked Newsom is making this stance public. He'd have been better off just not saying anything. FFS

We need a new party for the progressive Left, assuming we ever get another real election.

I definitely would not feel comfortable taking that gamble. I don't want to be alarmist, but I truly don't think that risk is worth taking right now.

Something that's interesting to me from a writing standpoint would be the difference between how playersexual characters are written from bisexual or pansexual ones. I've never seen a playersexual game have the characters actually acknowledge their openness to partners of different genders, they almost always just ignore the topic entirely. I'd be interested in seeing "playersexual" games actually put in the work to establish that in their world, everyone is open to romancing/banging everyone because that's just how their world is; sort of a pan-normativity. Or other cool explanations! Most of the time it feels more like everyone is straight except towards you, which somehow still feels like a straight male power fantasy.

I'm a big fan of the work that The Trevor Project and Transgender Law Center have done, and definitely recommend them highly.

I am not trans, but I've been putting together a similar plan to evacuate my trans nephew from the red state he's in, to here in California.

I unfortunately don't have the resources to potentially help them get out of the country, but I have family who do, though I haven't actually broached that subject with them (and I suspect that broaching it at this point wouldn't go anywhere except making them think I'm being alarmist).

Right now it feels like watching a storm build on the horizon, and trying to figure out how bad it's going to be when it gets here.
