@tillybridges indeed, what is the earth, if not a massive tumbleweed rolling around the sun?
What is the galaxy, if not a tumbleweed rolling through the cosmos?

#trans reflection time
I’ve been copying my photos from Google onto a zip drive, just so they exist on something that is actually in my possession. As a result I’ve been reliving a lot of memories… & seeing photos from before my top surgery. I was a little worried that on seeing them I would miss the way my chest used to look or have feelings of regret.
Happy to report that hasn’t been the case though. My reaction has mostly been either “oh, weird” or “aw, look, past me was doing their best.”
@Gingerpup I dig this whole look! Have a great day 🌈
@tillybridges I think then it becomes fudge
Like I tried for almost a full ten minutes to not respond with snark when a coworker reported a client’s “frustration” with the lack of an article about this “simple” process, but I gave up when my own frustration was too big to swallow. That’s where we are these days.
I’m finding it harder to be diplomatic at work lately. On the one hand it makes me feel like an asshole, on the other I am so so tired of people assuming the work I do is simple.
“Why doesn’t a help article exist yet for this very specific process?” is the instructional copywriter’s version of “how hard could it be to change a single line of code?” It doesn’t work like that and I’m sick of people thinking it does.
angry post, transphobia
“I can’t support your medical transition because you’re changing your ✨beautiful body✨” will always be horseshit because it places the value that other people might see in your body over you feeling comfortable living in it.
Being #trans often means finding out that some people in your life believe you don’t have a right to your own physical form. Your body belongs to your parents, your potential lovers, to anyone else before it belongs to you.
@nerdybutcute damn, I would’ve thought that kind of sad-adultcore attitude was right up buzzfeed’s alley
@rooster I'll paraphrase a dear friend who was in my first trans support group when I was starting to transition. "Trans people are forced to be honest, at least once in their lives, in a way that very few people are ever asked to be honest. With that honesty comes an integrity that is seared into us. You can see it in the dark."
Well, maybe not hilarious.
But me and the six other people in the theater were like, “Heh”
