I did another thing today. Day two of this tournament and I’m in a different category. Today was the first time I’ve competed in Extemp and I had a blast. Apparently, letting me stand up, run my mouth, and BS my way through a conversation is a skill I have. Who knew? Anyway, thanks again to my coaches Nichole @nicholette6 and Jessica @heysica for teaching me how to organize and present these. I’ve had a great year working with this Forensics team! #speech #speechanddebate #commstudies #communicationsstudies #lacc #extemporaneous #extemporaneousspeech @lacc @commclub_lacc @lacc_commstudies (at Los Angeles City College) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdCTNwrJKuQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Words of the Day
extemporaneous:
Carried out or performed with little or no preparation; impromptu.
Prepared in advance but delivered without notes or text.
Skilled at or given to unrehearsed speech or performance.
Sensory overload occurs when one or more of the body's senses experiences over-stimulation from the environment. There are many environmental elements that affect an individual. Examples of these elements are urbanization, crowding, noise, mass media, and technology.
bacchanal: an occasion of wild and drunken revelry.
~~~
Rewatched a video I made from 14 years ago [I tend to go down memory lane from time to time with my video logs that go back to my late teens] and I referenced a relative of mine -- that I no longer spar with -- having an innate ability to adlib. This word is basically a synonym for it.
A colleague said that working with a lot of folks gives them sensory overload. I think I get that too.
Read this word in a book I'm currently reading. The writing style is quite dystopian to me and the way this word was used intrigued me. I also have a soft spot for words with silent 'h''s.

Extemporaneous Channeler (Occultist Archetype)
(art by Matt Demino on Artstation)
Change is an inevitable part of reality and life, and even the very relics that occultists channel the history and psychic impressions of do not stay the same forever, as the impressed memories fade and new ones are added.
Today’s subject, the extemporaneous channeler (now that’s a mouthful!) embraces that change, in particular through their ability to quickly invest energy in their implements and pull it out again.
So you might wonder, “why is this archetype in a martial arts book?” And the answer to that is simple: one of the key techniques of these channelers let’s them enhance objects that normally are not used as weapons, clubbing a foe over the head with an enchanted lantern or teapot, or so on.
It obviously doesn’t have to be their implements, but these occultists are served well by their training in how to utilize their surroundings, turning even the most fragile objects nearby into useful weapons.
In this way, these occultists learn and understand how every object, not just those with significant psychic resonance, are part of the world and the weave of mysticism.
The result is a mystic that is rarely ever unarmed and able to quickly shift their abilities to match the situation.
Naturally, these occultists are quite used to using improvised weapons, striking hard and true, and learning many advanced techniques with them.
With their studies into impermanence, these occultists can transfer their general focus to their implements nearly instantaneously with no loss of energy. However, this methodology still has loss, the energy bleeding off slowly over time if it is left inside the implement. They do make up for this by having a bit more focus than others.
They can also expend focus to enhance any improvised weapon they hold, turning them into deadly weapons. As they grow in power, the level of enhancement improves, and they can even grant said weapons magical enhancements like flaming and the like.
While they can’t do so at first, these mystics eventually learn to pull focus back into their minds once they are done with it, preventing the energy from bleeding off, though unlike normally expending focus, this can shut down the resonant powers of the implement.
Just as they improvise weapons, so too do these channelers improvise spells, spending focus to cast a spell using their reserves as long as it belongs to an implement school they already possess.
Interested in an occultist that has a lot of flexibility, able to switch around mental focus at will, use anything as an effective weapons, and even able to cast spells they normally wouldn’t know. Truly this archetype has a lot going for it. That being said, you won’t be using your resonant powers very often at all since you’re constantly bleeding focus that isn’t in your general reserve, and your new abilities require focus to use. It really becomes about allocating and managing your focus, so I recommend a build that gives you lots of focus powers, a wide variety to spells and schools, and a large reserve of mental focus to fuel it all. (plus picking up feats to improve improvised weapons even further.)
This archetype definitely feels like a different, experimental school of thought among occultists, so I can imagine there being plenty curious or dismissive of the approach. In the latter case, I can imagine occult scholar claiming that focusing on impermanence misses the point of the significance of psychic resonance in the first place, citing their implements as being relics of history and the past worthy of being preserved, rather than risking breaking them by using them as weapons. Those who follow the extemporaneous path would in turn argue that even the most well-preserved histories will inevitably be lost eventually, and that value is found in how the old transforms into something new, either by breaking down and reforming, or being used and refurbished in new ways.
The case of Baron Volgester’s murder has many curious elements, the most curious being that the murder weapon, a simple ceramic tea kettle is somehow still intact despite leaving a deep cranial wound with enough force to shatter bone and porcelain with ease. What’s more, there are clear signs of magical use as well.
The Twisting Sand orc clan is descended from orcs who once built mighty structures in the desert, now abandoned and teeming with monsters. For their part, the orcs care little for these ruins aside from many keepsakes that their shamans call upon for power. However, even such relics only mean so much, for they embrace a philosophy of impermanence.
The nosferatu have been declining for centuries. Some of these ancient horror cling to the past, but one in particular embraces the temporary nature of things, travelling the world and particularly delighting in enchanting mundane items with magical enhancement, but using them to strike with such force that they shatter anyway, seeing this destruction and her magic as a form of destructive and deconstructive art. All of this earns her the only name mortals know her by: “The Sculpter of Dust.”

imagine playing DnD (the most boring of all possible settings AND systems) and your GM won't let you play like
a changeling, a centaur, a gnoll, a kobold, the most milquetoast of non-human races
it's like you go to olive garden and they won't even let you order pasta with a sauce in it
like
if i have to eat this at least let me have a sauce in it

having made three different comic books now where it’s the main subject, what interests me most about the intersection of transness and the post-apocalypse is the assumption of scarcity of health care, and total breakdown of pharmaceutical production and distribution, basically eliminating trans health care as a given from the process of transitioning
it's already such a common anti-trans talking point that trans-related health care is a frivolous (if not outright wasteful or even degenerate) use of resources, provided only as a polite courtesy. "if it'll make you weirdos happy, fine." the idea that even just hormones are medically necessary is a hard sell, let alone surgery, because it requires rethinking what medically necessary means. No, being deprived of estrogen and a vaginaplasty isn't going to kill a trans woman the same way that being deprived of insulin is going to kill a diabetic.
What makes trans care medically necessary is tied to violence or suicide prevention on the extreme level (because getting clocked can put you at risk of great harm, and whether one remains closeted or not to avoid that harm their dysphoria may be so bad as to cause ideation) but also quality of life on the moderate level (if one assumes that care that would make someone simply happy with themself would be necessary). you basically have to accept the assumption that if somebody wants a surgery or wants hormones, it becomes medically necessary just because they want it. to argue otherwise is to means test peoples’ transness, and is why universal health care applying to all kinds of health care is an issue of body autonomy as well.
The quality of life argument has a lot of overlap with appearance-altering and beautification surgeries in general, which is why they are often classified as "cosmetic* in direct opposition to classifications of other surgeries as "necessary." Being trans and trying to transition surgically is basically a war against your insurance company to move your desired treatments from the former category to the latter on their billing forms.
anyway
I bring this up because there is no health insurance in the post-apocalypse. There are no plastic surgeons with big white offices and florescent lights that you take an hour-and-a-half train up north to see, and the NPCs who exist in Fallout games as a diegetic way to alter your character's appearance mid-game don't count. There are no large drug plants manufacturing estrogen or testosterone on an industrial scale. If I remember right we're already experiencing a not insignificant hormone shortage because of how much of it is manufactured in the Ukraine.
So in a situation like the imagined or speculative post-apocalypse where the complex network of bureaucracies, institutional gatekeeping, pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution, economics, and highly skilled niche medical labor completely falls apart, to where you can't just book an appointment and get what you need the way you used to even if you wanted to. there’s already in our present day the horror of countless transsexuals who are deprived the care that they need for economic reasons -- that’s a euphemism for them being too poor to afford it, and being punished for that poverty -- but in the imagined post-apocalypse, it’s like, it’s not just that you can’t afford to eat someplace anymore, but that the restaurant is gone because it exploded and now you might never eat the food they served, ever, even if you could afford it. it’s in the imagined post-apocalypse when that old chestnut talking point of trans-related health care being frivolous rears its ugly head
Every possibility of getting facial feminization surgery has been reduced to rubble and ash. So what are you gonna do about it
All of the spironolactone and estrogen has oxidized to uselessness, wherever it is. Oh well, you'll live. It won't kill you, remember, not directly. In this setting, anyway, you have much more immediate survival needs to deal with.
So when I write about trans characters in the post-apocalypse, what I'm writing about and thinking about and exploring is this particular circumstance where I am painfully aware of how fragile, niche, and expendable the things that let me be who I am are. But at the same time, I'm aware that that's a fluffy way to phrase it, right?
let me be who I am
I'd still be me even if I never took estrogen again. It's not like I'd vanish, like in Back to the Future. It’s not like I’d literally revert back to myself at age 22, like some kind of detrans Benjamin Button.
There's so much tension in referring to my hormone regiment as "girl pills" and thinking a lot about wanting breast augmentation in the future just because it'll make me happy because it’ll make me feel sexy, because it does sound frivolous and silly and a little perverted even though it’s very important and feels very vital to me. and post apocalyptic scenarios more than anything else just force me to confront the unfathomable amount of tension in my identity and the way that I both mentally and materially construct it without really giving me any kind of resolution or comfort in it, just a deeper and more necessary understanding. like going down in the cellar to check on the mold growing down there, making sure it's not growing too much. because if i could scrape it off at all myself then there wouldn't be mold down there, would there
#content warnings: suicide mention (i'm fine and safe! it's just mentioned!) and general 'bad trans feelings'#this is a long post copied from a discord conversation where i went long on it so it's pretty extemporaneous#but i wanted to preserve it on my own blog so here it is#louposting#gaysteland

TBH if you're used to being isolated enough, you can become your own RP partner.
#i am speaking from experience#but also this might be something from extemporaneous speaking that i never let go#anyway i highly encourage you to let your imagination flourish#it will naturally expand the more you allow into the world#it is infinite and vast#do not be afraid#dive right in and let the wonders of the world lead you into the unknown#pure rambling

♫ ♫ (Something a Bit Different)
I’m doing something just a little bit different tonight with my music post. My friend, Ali, sent me this and I thought it was simply too good to pass up. I’ve always loved Elton John, and this shows just what a truly talented man of music he is!
From a piece in Upworthy …
Musical geniuses take on many forms. But the ones who can seemingly pluck inspiration right out of the imaginary realm and…
