I love it when freezing rain does this. It's so pretty on bushes and grasses :)

Play them back to back! It offers a really nice juxtaposition. I did a whole half life playthrough with all the mainline games + VR and HL + BM :)
Black mesa is so insanely good.
Seems fine to me, she sounds like a good influence. As long as they have condoms, I think things should be fine.
Everyone loses. That's the painful part.
I completely agree. Plus, it gives everyone an hour of light that would otherwise be wasted working.
This literally happened in the 1954 Lavender Scare. Coworkers could report you for being a "security risk" and you'd be fired because they assumed you were a lesbian.
It's why we have pride parades, to exercise that muscle and stamp out the fear of "otherness" in society.
You can buy spike strips and caltrops, just fyi 😇
Oh, there are definitely protests here, you just aren't hearing about them. They just aren't making the international news. There are regular, frequent protests on the West Coast of the US, including Hawaii. Pro-federal worker protests, pro-union protests, anti-Trump/Musk protests, pro-canadian protests/celebrations. It's on our local news often, but it rarely makes international news. People have been doing good work around here too, if you know what I mean. Stuff that enrages the fascists.
Yep, history is always important. Books on history also help you find solutions to today's (annoyingly recurrent) problems, too.
DC is interesting in that it was a great mixing area because of all the postwar army bases. WW2 allowed many rural people from all walks of life to mix together, and people who were gay/bi/lesbian+ all had the chance to mix together for the first time in...well...perhaps ever, for everyone from small town Kansas to big city NYC. That opened doors for a lot of our ancestors.
And ironically, the lavender scare is what later precipitated into the gay rights movement, when everyone got sick of mandatory butthole inspections at work, and started suing and winning. (Embellishing a bit, but you get the gist)
