i’ve known a good number of brazilian trans girls and honestly I am glad I grew up in the US instead of brazil. Maybe that might change eventually because it seems like there are just way less barriers to transition in brazil but I DIY’d anyways and i’ve heard too many horror stories otherwise about crime/retribution against trans ppl specifically.

Fun fact: one of the projects I worked on (in a minor capacity) was attempting to convince Bolsanaro’s government to jointly invest in a solar energy plant alongside private investors.
Shockingly worked.

(In practice, it was basically entirely funded by private investment, but the arrangement meant that his government could declare a win. I don’t have the exact details - they don’t exactly let high schoolers pitch directly to governments - but I was shocked the proposal got off the ground, let alone actually happened.)

This wasn’t exactly a high school thing; I interned at a startup, and the guy liked me enough to put me in contact with the person in charge of an economic advisory firm that does these kinds of things.
They’ve now transitioned into a proper investment bank, so it’s kinda insane in hindsight that I got that break.

List of POVs and Episodes

Death Eater grasp burnt and gave phantom pain. Two Death Eaters appeared. Roland threw water on one’s candle. Death Eater got enraged, attacked Roland, and survived after a point-blank flintlock… and through all that, Roland survived! (IIRC got later saved by Lucien? Or at the very least supported by him.) Oliver stole the candle of another Death Eater, and uh. that action got retconned? (He survived. That’s all that matters.)

Regrouped at main building. Robbie out of med supplies, but Roland survived… I guess Finley still had some and saved Roland in time. Dunno how, but Roland simply had enough strength to stand and walk limping.

Ostmann died calling for Solomon, unable to give his final words. Doctors only had two bandages, but there should be a clinic nearby.


I’m going back to POV1 E11 and see where I’ll go from there. I should probably catch up on POV8 and POV10, before rewatching everyone’s POVs on Nocturna.

it’s not impossible that i tell him about fol specifically cuz i told him i play mafia when i learnt he plays botc (i saw him get a notification from our university’s botc club thing which is also how i found out about that, i’ve been going with him since)

but i doubt he’d be interested in long form games

Stiorra said her goodbyes in the book of notes and letters. Final gift entails more patches of notes regarding vagabond lore. ((I feel… absolutely nothing, as I watch chat cry over Stiorra’s leave. If anything, I’m amused by their emotional whiplash when the DM gave pointers to Eliza’s actor.))

Chat with Daisy. Snakes not native to fort surroundings, yet Eliza heard of Daisy getting bit, saw Haldvar getting bit, and witnessed Sir Tom getting bit. (Daisy wasn’t informed of Haldvar’s case until this moment.) Very peculiar.

Asked Elliot to ask Mr. Saxon (the apprentice) to move bear loot to store. Roland asked for whetstone, not available. [Carpenter house on fire.] DM planted seed of doubt. (Church finish, and suddenly nearest house on fire.) Got tasked to help coven move barrels of water, by using wagons. (…Ashvales have two wagons?)

Tbf
Is that per capita or
iirc Brazil in general is highly violent atm which naturally extends to a higher rate of violence against trans people, especially when coupled with transphobia
Which
Doesn’t make it better
