man now that there's mahjong i need to get my mom to play ffxiv

and by that i mean i'll get her leveled to 15 and then she can spend all her time in the golden saucer LOL

because i'm sick as hell and don't want to share this shit with my psych but also want to serve some looks

...

not enough to figure out my magnetic lashes tho

so, the hot makeup tips for working around a face mask is to go all out with your eyes, right

so last night my dog tucked herself in VERY cutely, even making a pile of blankets into a pillow for her head

i tried to capture this cuteness

instead i got some highly relateable moods.

a thing that happened yesterday that i just now remembered to post:

urgent care doc: how have your blood sugars been running with this cold?

me: honestly just kinda same as usual, running in the 90s or so when i wake up

me: ....

me: (DESPERATELY KEEPING STRAIGHT FACE AS MIND FILLS WITH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ0xBCwkg3E )

i just remembered we have salsa

this is probably a terrible decision given the awful state of my throat but also MAYBE I CAN BURN THE SICKNESS OUT?

here's a very good video of my dog getting a cookie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_85Tsjk-SEM

i just misread a post as "quinoa golem" which is a FANTASTIC rock band name

pupdate: dog forgave me for getting up again but not before pointedly staring at me while trying to make a nest on top of my purse where i had laid her favourite (and MY favourite) blanket, approximately 6 inches away from her actual dog bed with her blanket in it.

now she's sitting on me while staring at my dad eating cheese-its

may my dog, who also just got cozy, forgive me for my 'but i want poptarts' related sins

....the infinite sorrow of getting cozy, reaching for your snack, and then remembering

you forgot to actually acquire your snack when you were up

i guess the takeaway is just that i'm gonna try to stay humble and not be a fucken asshole, and those are pretty good goals i think.

idk my dudes it's about all i got

i still v much run the risk of bumbling into trans femme spaces like an asshole, but i'm hoping that i'll become better at figuring out those lines over time. and when in doubt, i can always just ask.

because, well, it might be a topic where the poster only wants trans femme folks weighing in. or it might be validating to be treated as 'just one of the gals'. who knows! dunno until i ask, right?

or even that they're just fucking tired of explaining the trans experience over and over and are totally ok with that not being on the table. which is also extremely valid.

i figure if i can help ease that burden, just a tad, it's useful work to do, y'know?

so maybe in that avenue, i can sort of help open up something for trans femmes. like, if it becomes more of a thing to go "oh! yeah, my great auntie had to get her beard lasered off haha, sometimes bodies are weird" - if i can help make some things less of an indicator for 'hey i'm trans' - that might be a welcome shelter for somebody when they're in a situation where they don't feel safe outing themselves as trans.

and maybe just normalizing these things *as* someone who is solidly cishet is going to be the greater social action.

like: yeah, some girls have to shave in the morning. yeah, some girls have to remove facial hair. yeah, some girls have acne that comes from too much testosterone on the skin. it's just a thing, no big deal.

like, despite being cishet, i'm rather bad at many aspects of girl-ing so to speak, and i feel like maybe talking frankly about what i've learned - and being excited to share with people what i've learned - is something that's going to be an experience more people will resonate with. like i may be cishet, but i can still offer tips to trans femmes about, say, facial hair removal, from what i've learned as i experienced it.

so i've been trying to think about what i can do outside of that label to still be - again. i'm so sorry everyone. - a decent ally.

i think i might actually be able to have a better effect if i just own up to being solidly cishet and keep on keepin' on, as it were. i feel like perhaps i can make more of a difference in some ways there.
