36 years old and still #doodling on my class notes.

Today I’m finishing my last class in the core curriculum for Zen Shiatsu.

(Which means only four electives, an externship, and about a dozen practice sessions to go…)

We learned about end-of-life protocols this morning. Heavy stuff that requires a light touch. Really important and profound.

@nerdybutcute points for honesty, and tbh myself I get it. In my early 20s I would read commentary on current events to see “what I’m supposed to think.” It’s not a mindset limited to the right wing; some of us just have massive rejection sensitive dysphoria and fear of looking foolish in public.

Continuing to think about this in the light of morning. Why did I post anyway if I thought there was a risk?

Because it’s important for trans people to be seen expressing #transjoy in places where it may be unexpected. As long as the risk feels manageable, it’s important that we don’t hide ourselves from communities we are supposedly a part of.

based on a true story

Hate that I hesitated before making a post of trans joy in a not-explicitly-queer group. And that my heart keeps pounding over the idea that someone’s going to be a jerk about it.

We should be able to express joy without fear.

So - meth, not even once. But this song goes so hard that I’ve listened to it at least once a day for the last three days

I lost all interest in watching this year's Oscars when I saw a commercial where the whole joke was that Kimmel was their absolute last choice for a host and was hosting anyway.

Glad Everything Everywhere pulled off the sweep, though.

…what?

@Taweret@octodon.social it is blue, therefore it is gonzo

Sorry for not posting much lately. I haven’t had an opinion for at least a week now

Wish I’d been quick enough to snap a pic as my bus passed a Burger King with the sign reading “International OCs have arrived” because… what?

@geordie I like to say, “we don’t deserve cats, and they know it.”

@shivian a Chicago faerie gathering? 😮 Say more please! If you can
