A tired, white, cranky, GenX, sapphic, nonbinary trans girl.

(That's "she/her" to you, friend.)

Folk horror mind, romcom heart, postmodern dystopian world.

Mostly pretty happy, regardless. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Not as yet, but a girl likes to be prepared.

A friend offered to take me shopping for a prom dress, but autocorrect changed it to "problem dress," and I've decided that I now need a problem dress: a dress for being a problem in. A difficulty. A complication. Just an absolute situation.

Even our overpowered air conditioning isn't quite fending off the muggy grossness outside. I've now stripped down from "summer outfit" to "barely clothed" and am applying gin, tonic, and ice to bring my core temperature down to acceptable levels. 🥵

I'm holding onto hope this was nothing more than someone having given no more than a casual read to something and responding off the cuff. It's a slim, cold hope at best, but people can surprise us. Sometimes.

Seeing people I'd expected better from giving casually nasty transphobia a pass is depressing.

Yeah, I know... a trans girl dressed like a goth and wearing double-buckled black Mary Janes? Groundbreaking. What can I say, though? I always wanted to dress like this... and now I can. You can wear purple and a red hat if you like. Me, I'm dressing like I'm going to a Sisters of Mercy concert.

As much as this sucks, it did push me to make a different pair of shoes wearable. A trip to Michael's and some judicious cobbling later, my NPS Solovair Mary Janes can finally be buckled onto my feet. The issue isn't that my feet are disproportionate for my height. It's just that I'm six feet tall.

they want is to solve the problem of universals, the metaphysics of gender, mind-body dualism, and various questions of human subjectivity, but all i want to do is wear a cute jumpsuit without getting murdered.

TMW the shoes you ordered a couple of weeks ago arrive and are even cuter in person than online... ...and are approximately half a size too small for your feet in all directions. 😓

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

I am reading Hannah Arendt right now and she makes this point. Over and over. With a freakin hammer. There are a LOT OF PEOPLE in the world very eager to pick a group and blame it for their problems, esp when they don't have a strong grasp of where those problems really come from.

Chocolate protein shake coffee and lemon-pepper toast achieved. Now, shower and cuteification so I can face the outside world: IKEA for temple curtains, Costco for staple goods. (Pray for me.) Therapy later, followed by blacksmithing class. It's a weird life, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

It is, yeah. I had to gauge it against how much working with a voice therapist in person would be, and the convenience of having the lessons virtual and accessible whenever I wanted. Of course, the flipside of that is, I have to actually sit myself down and do them. 😅

I have a hard time with it as well, which is why I haven't completed the program yet. I've been wanting to get back into it recently, though, which is a good sign.

I do! Nicole is great, and I've found the program really good so far. It's self-paced program, so it does require a certain amount of discpline, but I've enjoyed the results thus far.

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

I have no range. I am this and only this, day after day, night after night, an endless continuity of identity and persona, watching as the sun slowly dies out and the planet grows cold. Only I remain, ever unchanging, as still and silent as the grave. Boring, right?

I use a lidocaine/prilocaine cream about an hour before, and it’s not too bad. I recommend icing after, and maybe a bit of Neosporin.

I used to be really self-conscious about my poetry. Somewhere along the way, I forgot how to be. I don’t necessarily think it’s “good,” whatever that means, but I made it, and I meant it. That makes it better than any number of things I didn’t make or mean.

I’ve tried everything i could to keep me out of this position again, but everything I’ve tried has failed, and our landlord has given us to the end of the month to get back rent taken care of or we’re out. Liz’ new job is enough to pay bills month-to-month, but not to get the back rent in time.
