The idea that trans people in "safe states" shouldn't still fight for their rights isn't the right thing to do, I think. In fact, I'd caution against complacency. We have to ensure that safe states stay safe states. You cannot assume your rights when they are being taken away in many other states

I hate car dependency I hate having to rely on a car to go to places I hate having to pay for gas every few weeks I hate traffic being so normalized and one of the most inconvenient things in the world I JUST WANT MORE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION 😭😭😭

i'm going home tomorrow & i'm so excited to see my family, i really missed them

I am so fucking sick of living with my roommate and his fuck ass boyfriend. Also watching my roommate burn every single one of his (already rather minimal, I might add) bridges for this guy is also kind of painful but also his relationship with me is one of said bridges so I'm almost past the point of even feeling bad for him lmao

Look idk about the adoption of Jody by the Titus sisters, it feels cruel to say it (bc one of the things we as readers expect from this book that Jody does indeed get adopted) but the way it's written seems to me... well, lazy. Like, LMM remembered, oh shit, I need to sort Jody out, so she inserted a chapter where she dealt with it and that's it, it was done. If the Titus sisters were looking for a child to adopt, surely it would have been known around the neighbourhood?

I wish it was handled differently, is what I'm saying. Jane lost her best friend in Toronto and ofc, in typical LMM fashion it's city-bad countryside-good (the feature of her writing I hate with my whole heart, yet I still keep reading her, but it's also the reason why she'll always be my only 2nd most fave author). I would have preferred a character introduced in Toronto (maybe a friend of Robin's, the one who lived at Lakeside Gardens) who would be good and eventually adopt Jody.

Though I'll say that I like that Jane's relationship with Phyllis and some of her relatives improved. I liked that line from the first summer on PEI: She thought it must be that the P. E. Islanders were nicer, or at least more neighbourly, than the Toronto people. She did not realize that the change was in herself.

Anyway just ignore me, sigh...

On the one hand I need to move out or go fully insane, on the other hand my family is like the only social contact I get and maybe the urban loneliness will ultimately kill me faster than putting up with their bullshit

that one couple in the grove that was daydreaming of their life in baldur's gate and said that dogs aren't allowed in the city..so how did u sneak scratch and an owlbear cub inside

i had a nightmare i was in the zombie apocalypse with my sister and she decided to pull off to the side of the road and 'wait out' the hoard coming right to us to get high and completely dismissed me the whole time I was begging to just keep moving until we got eaten.

ive upgraded to literally having nightmares about the night she did that at the rave. bc she ACTUALLY did that btw. she fought me for a whole hour about leaving while a guy with a gun was tweaking out LOOKING FOR US and knew we were on that bridge.

weird to think about how there's a future timeline where I become a landlord

ive read three books lately that have involved deserts/steppes/horse cultures and like yes i am STILL afraid of horses bc they Are The Unknown to me a born city rat, but, i like. get the appeal. i deeply DEEPLY get the appeal. it’s like the sea. the endless possibility of freedom. it’s a hunger
