Time to try self-clearing a package through Canadian customs. UPS wants $120 in brokerage for a box the size of a microwave. That's more than I paid just to ship it home from AZ. It contains $100 in gifts, my race bib & medal, and the rest is clothes I brought WITH me from Canada

I like to dress powerfully when I travel

@hotdogsladies exquisite domain name. I’m excited to spend time with this.

My two personal aesthetic goals this year are

1) get better at makeup, particularly eyes and contouring.

2) get two tattoos.

I answered 8 questions about my trans werewolf horror story "They Say Don't Get Clocked" as part of a thesis study by Miranda Lascelles.

She asks werewolf fiction writers "what aspects of humanity does Lycanthropy symbolize" in media and their work. I had a lot to say!

The conversation began on the subject of diets and body-shaming. She is on the low FODMAP diet (same as my wife) for IBS and other GI issues and said she went from “chubby” to what she feels is sickly thin, and in both body types, people made hurtful comments that presumed to know how SHE felt about herself. She has had body image issues her whole life, and seemed very affected by my description of dysphoria as a pervasive discomfort.

Yesterday I attended the final parking lot BBQ of the season here in snowbird villa. I spent 35 minutes talking with a lady who said she’d never met a trans person before me, and who is clearly a republican. I told her what it was like for me, how I “knew”, what HRT does, and what it’s like living with dysphoria. She went from being polite with “you’re just pretending” vibes to “oh my god, that makes sense, I had no idea what it was like!”
