imo you should wish @mavica_again a happy birthday as it leaves behind a year plagued with hardships and enters a year that promises to be filled with some seriously rad shit. it is long overdue for an upward trend in its circumstances, and some birthday wishes and positive interactions are a nice way to help that along.

Trans People Who Handle Their Bodies like a Dog Handles Its Favourite Chewtoy

I got lucky! I took a banged-up knee and shin instead of a full fall or wrecked ankle. No damage to the joint, and no swelling. I walked it off for a minute, and it stopped bleeding shortly after. I washed it off in Black Canyon Creek and people stopped even noticing it. I hope I get a little scar from it. I like the idea of my body accumulating a patina from the things I'm doing with it, now that we're friends.

The bandage on my knee is from the one noteworthy injury I sustained: I stumbled over one of the 75 million loose rocks on the trail between Bumble Bee Ranch and Gloriana Mine, and it was either "maybe sprain my ankle, ending my race" or "take it on the knee & hope for the best".

I alway feel bad for the freight cars that have been stencilled with "DO NOT HUMP"

How it started / how it ended.

Aah the insane feeling of the pre-dawn drive to the start line. All the little weird observances. When I’m next in this car I’ll be done. When I’m playing BotW on the Airbnb’s giant TV it means I’ll be done.

I want a werewolf to bite me extremely hard on the neck, shoulder, or arm

I’ve wanted one of these hats for six years.

On our way to package pickup and a panel with the elite runners. Trying to assuage my nerves with caffeine, which will certainly work.

Special jail for people who start a new paragraph after every sentence they write.

This can go one of two ways.

I would like to turn all the pain and sadness felt by those I care about into a single black bone. A femur of mirrored charcoal. And then I would take it in my enormous shaggy jaws and shatter it into glitter and kohl and breathe it in and swallow it and remove it from this world
