california girls, we're unassailable / broad stone walls, ballistae on top / scalding sand, so hot / it's in your armor now / ooh ooh oh

Height remeasured at doctor, and I'll update the sheet with it. I've officially gone from 187cm to slightly under 184cm, or for fellow muricans, about 6'1.5" to 6'0.5".

If I actually officially get under 6 foot by the time I socially transition, I might unironically cry in joy.

whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision

Ack like the last three times I've gone to pick up my prescriptions I forgot that I need to tell them my deadname. So very frustrating to have to walk back my real name and say "oh wait it should actually be under _____"

unfortunately no eclipse photography can ever outdo the waffle house one from 2017

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

Personally, I can't wait to go back to being invisible again so I can rob that bank.

Sometimes you're having a really bad day and then you spend 20 minutes doing vocal training and suddenly resonance modulation clicks and I have the voice I've been dreaming about for years and I'm supposed to sit here like this is a normal way for a day to go

Graphic design is my passion. I think I’ve made the best vaporwave infographic of the first Punic war ever

So I don't normally do this, but since my latest Lord of the Rings rewatch I've had this bouncing around my head, and finally am getting it out. So, poetry! This one is for Théodred, and I did my best to get the skaldic alliteration of Tolkien's Rohirric verse.

Simbelmynë

Forever they grow there, the fathers' graves watching; white flowers covering, warding the dead. Théodred lofty, Thengel's fair grandson, alas they await him at his road's end. Master of horses, the Mark's second Marshal, prince of the people, proudly he stood. At Isen's fords, with iron he fought there with Saruman's forces, and slain there he fell. Last of his line, Lord Théoden's only, Dead in the river. So death we dealt then, avenging the fallen, answering insult. War we woke, the Westfold arising; at Helm's Gate we harried the foe to the end. The White Hand we withered, the wizard defying; by spear and by sword we slew the dark host. Still Simbelmynë, silent and silver, his tomb it protects now til years have an end. With Fréa he lies, Folca and Fréalaf; In the ranks of his fathers he rests evermore.

its true that romance amd friendship will not solve everything but. objectively speaking its very hard to get sad when you can say 'lets go get cake tomorrow okay' and someone will go get cake with you. like there is some good at least. you know

Aragorn II Elessar. You agree.

I'm a little more than a year into my transition.

Starting around seven months ago, every once and a while I would get just a glimpse of seeing a girl in the mirror. Look back, and she'd be gone, but in that moment it was unmistakable. It's an electric, giddy feeling that would have me dancing away.

Over the following few months, that would happen more and more often, and the moments would last longer and longer.

About two weeks ago, before heading out for the day, I saw someone pretty in the mirror.

For those right at the start of a transition - it'll happen to you, and sooner than you think. And it's incredible every time.

So much of the narrative around the trans experience centers around pain, dysphoria, and negativity. We have to plead using these desperate expressions of our own suffering as a way to receive some baseline decency. This pain is very real, but it can become consuming.

Fuck that. Let's get some trans joy in here.

To those further along in your transition- do you remember the first time you looked in the mirror and liked what you saw?

To those earlier in your transition- remember, you have this to look forward to. Treasure that hope <3
