![]() ![]() In conclusion, just keep on supporting your child and letting them explore themselves. For clothing, look into gender neutral clothing (I think online shopping would be easier in this matter). Make sure to get the right size for them and also don't buy one with a zipper or a random one from amazon (they usually aren't very safe). For binders you should make sure to get a high quality one (brands such as spectrum outfitters are good) that fits your child well so it doesn't cause any issues in the long run. E Schwab.Īs for stuff related to gender, I'd reccomend looking into binding methods such as binders, trans tape, etc. ![]() As for more story driven books: The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzie Lee and Vicious by V. ![]() I don't know much books but I've seen other people reccomending these (books more geared to being a resource): Ace by Angela Chen and I am ace by cody daigle orians. ![]() Ok so for resources, organisations like the trevor project, aven and stonewall are great for learning more about lgbt+ people and helping your child discovering themselves.

Then I got in the mood for a bad-girl heroine and this book was recommended to me, so I dove in. I saw one of my Goodreads friends raving about the first book in this series years ago, but I’ve never been a big mafia fan, so I never tried it out. Wow, am I late to the Danielle Lori party. She’s chaos embodied, not his type, and married, but none of that can stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes.Īll along, she doesn’t even know that she’s his-his frustration, his fascination. Nowhere in Christian’s plans had he ever prepared for Gianna. She hates him-his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye-but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. One winter night and their lives intertwine. With a proclivity for order and the number three, he’s never been tempted to veer off course. Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he’d envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell.

Both gave excellent and often very funny performances. It begins superbly with a crash of Phantom music and assorted characters on the (intentionally) gloomy stage, including one Agnes Nitt, a would-be opera star (Rhiannon Bland) and Christine (Jess Spath) as the singer in residence. Since the ghost has taken to killing people and laying down the law as to which singer should take the lead part, there is much for those in charge to worry about. The story, a spoof on Phantom of the Opera, is concerned with a masked ghost in a theatre where a production is about to take place. Maskerade, a play adapted by Stephen Briggs from Terry Pratchett's book of the same name, is full of colourful characters, packed with Pratchett humour and Newbury Dramatic Society deserve a pat on the back for thinking out of the box and choosing it for their return to The Watermill. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Motivated by the promise he made to himself as a fatherless child to never abandon his own children, the two spent almost a year moving among shelters, "HO-tels," soup lines, and even sleeping in the public restroom of a subway station.

And while the graphics and lighting aren’t cutting edge by any means the spaceship designs are distinctive, often asymmetrical, and interesting – if I hadn’t already known that the developer, Blackbird Interactive, is also at work on Homeworld 3, it would’ve been easy to guess. Physics aren't truly Newtonian, in that objects will eventually slow to a stop, but innertia is a powerful force to be reckoned with in both your own movement and when moving objects around. Swimming through a shipyard with a full six degrees of freedom feels serene and control is smooth, thanks in large part to the brake button that allows you to come to a stop more or less whenever you like (as long as you don't run out of thruster fuel). Almost immediately upon stepping into the vacuum of space, an excellent tone is set with twangy music that takes me back to an early scene of the pilot episode of 2002’s Firefly, where the crew raids a derelict ship for valuables by cutting through the hull and floating away with them. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pike and Jennifer soon discover that Dunkin’s attackers are a dangerous link to a much larger scheme that could launch a full-on conflict between China and Taiwan.
