A cis gal asked me for advice today on upgrading her implants and she told me that my boobs were inspirational to her And like A cis girl telling you that you've got her dream boobs hits different. I don't really know why. Maybe because you know stone cold she sees you as a woman.

I have a driver's license, a Ph.D., a spouse, a child, and a mortgage. But I still feel that I'm not an adult and am only a grownup in the sense that I'm as tall as I'm going to get.

I should get this zine. I really should. The basic ideas--to make the things I've written digitally more permanent and less reliant on an amoral internet ecosystem I *despise*--are exactly my thoughts. I have all the skills. I know how to set it up and execute it. I just need the time, really.

One thing I haven't talked about a lot is that I **love** good food. I love cooking it, I love discovering it, I love going out for it. And I've been some really fancy places, including Disfutar. In all of it, this is the best thing I've ever eaten by a mile: the salmon poke from Girl & the Goat.

Remember: You haven’t missed your chance. There is no deadline on becoming who you want to be. The door hasn’t closed. In fact, some of your best ones haven’t opened yet.

When I was coming home from my FFS, I scrambled to get to my plane in Portugal, because they messed up customs staffing. I'd spring for first class, because surgery. Anyway, I got on, put my bag away, turned around, and there was Frankie Munoz. Thank god I didn't say or do anything, just sat down.

Shocking precisely nobody. This is why coming out to family and friends is a crap shoot. You can't predict based on politics--it's basically down to how hierarchical (white supremacist) someone is, and both liberals and conservatives are frequently that in spades.

Same. I didn't start with informed consent, byt my therapist was 100% for it, and me, to do what brought me fulfillment.

Just heard about the 2022 USTS data drop. Unfortunately, I can't dive into it because I'm traveling tomorrow, so I'm getting ready now. I'll do a dive when I get home. Buuuut from what I see at a glance, the Health and Wellness section has lots of juicy stuff!
