doing laundry? fine, even fun. putting laundry away? terrible. worst chore. wretched way to spend time.

finally someone said it

I would rather put a thousand loads in the washing machine and move it to the dryer than fold one load of laundry

PLEASE READ:

THIS IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTANDING THIS COMIC: this is part of a serious autobio series I started months back to document my gender transition. These took place months ago.

August 20, 2016. I came out to my 5 year old niece and she adapted over the course of the afternoon. She’d thought it was a game at first.

She now only calls me aunt Julie without fail. She once brought up to my sister about how cool it is that I’m a girl now. Sweetheart.

Orc:

Orcs aren’t known for their great cuisine. Orcs prefer foods that are readily available (whatever can be had by raiding), and portable with little preparation, though they have a few racial delicacies. Toughs strips of lean meat, bones scavenged from recent kills, and dark coarse bread make up the bulk of common orc rations.Fire roasted rothe femur (marrow is a rare treat) [beef femur], Strips of dried meat (of unknown origin) [homemade goose jerky], foraged nuts, only edible by orcs….nut cracker tusks [brazil nuts], coarse black bread, made with whatever grains can be pillaged [black sesame bread], Pungent peppers [Habanero peppers stuffed with smoked fish and olives].
