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.

Psssst Check this space tomorrow morning. 😉

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.

I spent the day at the Field Museum today and it was wonderful and also I met a new member for my family. Her name is Dot.

Uhhh... yep. Yep. I can get ~~beneath~~ behind this.

I was born in Minnesota. I grew up in the Twin Cities. I... don't really have words this morning.

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.

*tapping the "transhuman means for me that synthetic is the point" sign*

Oof, the desperate refrain in my head. 😓

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.

I have a joke about Odysseus, but it takes a really long time to tell it. 😮‍💨

time for my new favorite tumblr post

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!
