This time it's assorted things about gender and sexuality, and then a bunch of entertainment stuff you can enjoy.
What Is It like to Have a Gender Identity?, an academic article by Florence Ashley. You sadly need access through an institution to read it :( The one perk of being in college...
I'm trans, but I have a genital preference. What should I do? by Devon. I already knew this, but I'm sharing it because I want everyone on earth ever to know this. Preferences will always exist among people, so when something has multiple variations of course people will have favorites. But you don't have to be weird about it. And in this case, it might be less an attraction to genitals and more a presumption of what you think people with those genitals like to do with them. Free yourself from the chains of the cisheterosexual's regime's thought...
Irrelevant, but a long time ago I was confused by all the discoursing about lesbians and genital preferences and trans women, because I assumed most trans women had vaginas, because I thought bottom surgery surely couldn't be that expensive. I was 12 and so optimistic about the world.

Sandy Stone on Living Among Lesbian Separatists as a Trans Woman in the 70s by Zackary Drucker
A tumblr post which kind of goes into the same thing as the genital preference article, about assuming what's normal and what's not and subtly forcing "vanilla" things on people.
Dear Rebeca is a horror mystery VN. Not that scary, but definitely has vibes. I played it in Spanish! Whiiiiiiiiich means that as a result, I don't remember much from my playthrough months ago. Yes, this has been on the "share on DW" backlog for a good while.
Yasuji Murata's Monkey and the Crabs is a 5 minute Japanese cartoon from 1927. It's an adaptation of a folk tale, like so many old cartoons are, which has nice animation and a unique way of anthropomorphizing the characters. I enjoyed it, so maybe you will too?
This site used to be a place where you could read all of Sugar Sugar Rune for free, but I've waited so long to share it that that's no longer the case... regardless, it has some nice color illustrations with the Sugar Sugar Rune cast! That's cool, right?
However, you can still read some Ciao comics for free here! You know, Ciao, the magazine for little girls? Who ran Kirarin Revolution and Mirumo de Pon and Revolutionary Girl Utena (!?!?!?) and stuff? Yea, them.

I have yet to play it myself, but Puppy Love Story, a game for the Casio Loopy, has an English translation now! This is the first game for that console to be translated. If you play it, you should tell me how it is.
"Tomorrow a Bride" by Tatsuhiko Yamagami & Hiromichi Kinjo, a one-shot, was translated by Baxter Burchill. Give it a read.

And here's Wikipedia's list of obsolete occupations in case you feel like getting rabbit-holed.
