i was worried it wouldn't look good bc of my gray pants, but my solution was to use a black belt to make it look more concise -

dang the LDS prophet died
I'm personally not mormon, but I was/am raised in the church and that was a shock for me
im actually so upset about it bc Russel M. Nelson had so much planned that i dont think the new prophet (Dallin Oaks) will allow anymore. I don't think the Russian temple will be dedicated now that Nelson won't be there to ensure it happening, I think queer rights within the church will get worse, and I worry that there will be a lot less accountability within the church now that Russel M. Nelson won't be the head of the LDS church -
i suppose we'll just have to wait and see, but i can't help but worry.

maybe this is a hot take but i hate the trans tropes in books
there's a lot of them but I'm specifically talking about the fear or getting outed or being deadnamed CONSTANTLY being a plot point. I'm fine with it being a struggle within the character, but there's something about it being a plot device that makes my skin crawl. I think it's so frustrating. I know it's realistic and a genuine part of trans peoples lives (OBVIOUSLY i know that, I'm not naive), but when it's a specific PLOT reason rather than a CHARACTER reason it frustrates me (especially when the author is cisgender and has never had the experience of being outed ugh) -
and the fact that it's so overdone like i swear 4 out of 5 books i read with a trans mc has it be a plot point. I'm grateful for the representation, obviously, it's very much needed, but I'd rather not have so many books have a central part of it be "I'm outed oh my life is ruined now everyone knows i'm trans when i wasn't out or i was out and no one knew i wasn't cis goddamn it now i'm being called my deadname nooooo" like there's so much more to being trans than that, why is that the focus of so many stories
-
That is a very valid point, and I feel you. I plan on being an author with stories about lgbtq+ people, and I plan on there being a bigger plot to it.
