Updated my store with a bunch of new stickers!

Intellectual property laws used to mean something when it targeted the consumer.

Hey pst! Almost Real: A Speculative Biology Zine returns this month with a new issue! AND a big juicy "encyclopedia" that compiles the first 5 magazine volumes, featuring new entries for the cover critters from yours truly! If you love imaginative creatures with a backbone of real science, Almost Real is for you!

Questions for Killian, child of polycule divorce, also the orbital station grandmas. (Well, grandpers/grandparents is more accurate, but none of them are very strongly invested in gender, that's a bisex human problem.)

In microgravity, suspenders help keep your shirt from floating up, instead of keeping your pants from falling down. Or maybe both...

Some questions for the resident humans.

Gender transition is broadly socially acceptable and medically supported in Jovia, though political attitudes on it vary. The common conservative attitude is that there are three genders: male, unisex, and female; and the only legitimate goal of gender transition is complete surgical sex reassignment. Working reproductive organs can be grown with an individual's DNA, and the most normative way to transition is "match" your sex organs with your chosen gender. Obviously it gets more complicated than that in practice, though, because not everyone is interested in "matching," nor can everyone who transitions take on the risk of major abdominal surgery. There is also an overall perception that the older you are when you decide to transition (or god forbid if you transition more than once) the more undignified it is, and the more inconvenient it is for the other people in your life. So Gillie had a very normative transgender experience for Jovian culture, except for her surgery aversion; while Mel had a very normative medical transition but had to deal with a lot more social friction.

Because of that L-bend it's more safe for Gillie to stick a swab in her ears than it is for you. She can't stab herself directly in the eardrum.

Idrisah has way more books than the average Jovian because she's a history nerd who is interested in stationary and manual writing, relatively niche hobbies.
