If you&#39;re wondering why I&#39;ve been packing the car for the last two hours: we simply cannot go on a two day camping trip that&#39;s 35 minutes away without bringing at least seven musical instruments and four swords

Learned how to sew a buttonhole on a sewing machine today! Reading the manual helped a lot. I made 5 test ones on my scrap fabric and then 8 real ones on my shirt. I am about 14 hours into shirt construction and only the button attachment, hole opening, and pocket attachment are left.

@coral For a while I split the difference and had a driver&#39;s license with x and a passport with my birth sex, under the idea that I could present the right thing in each moment. Never really worked out like that but it was a theory that I&#39;d be more likely to encounter a hostile passport control border guard than a hostile local traffic cop?

ok so I did just watch the &quot;game changer&quot; episode of &quot;parlor room&quot;, where they play the currently on kickstarter board game. and my opinion is, I don&#39;t think I want to play this game, it&#39;s not that different and special than other party games. But they were joking about doing expansions. If this is the original flavor game, what I want to play is the &quot;Thirsty Sword Lesbians&quot; flavored expansion.
