Can't sleep, thinking about Her* *Chips and queso even though I had a perfectly good dinner earlier

one of my favorite things to do sometimes is smile and say hello to someone I'm walking past and then they say hello and also smile and then we walk past each other and then i spend the rest of the day wondering if i somehow fucked up that breif interaction

GOOFUS spills queso on his shirt at 10:20 am GALLANT knows he's going to spill queso on his shirt at 10:20 am so waits until 10:30 to shower and change Be like Gallant

I really like the song Daydream Believer. I don't have anything else to say, I just think it's a nice song.

Noting that Trans Lifeline is an amazing service that saves lives AND they are not available 24 hours a day so it's worth checking at translifeline.org/hotline/ before you're in crisis to see their hours in your time zone and it's helpful to have a backup/alternative safety plan as well if possible

Just had a leftover taco from District Taco and fuck it was so good you guys

I think cis people assume that if they get a trans person's pronouns wrong they will be chastised harshly, i.e. something bad will happen to them, and in my experience it almost never does but something bad has already happened to the trans person and I'm not sure they realize that

My spouse and I mostly get along really really well but he doesn't support me in my belief that someday I will understand that Sumerian dog joke so I guess every relationship has challenges

"Yap" and "yip" mean basically the same thing and "yep" and "yup" mean basically the same thing so what does "yop" mean? Poor lonely yop

Submitted a request at the library for more crochet books with patterns for men so I guess you could say I'm doing good work to help the community

I'm not having a panic attack but I'm not NOT having a panic attack

Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island are great because Muppet Christmas Carol treats all the muppets as people and Muppet Treasure Island treats all the people as muppets

All I can think about is being trans and the possibility of needing to move and it's hard to focus or get anything done. I just want to spend time with my family, spend time with other trans people, and prepare for what might be coming. It's outrageous that I have to do a stupid job at this moment.

As someone who chose to vote for Harris despite extremely legitimate and valid objections it is galling to see people continuing to claim "leftists didn't vote for Harris" (a claim that may be true but for which I've seen no evidence) "... and therefore all of this is their fault" which is not true

From now on anyone who tries to talk to me about AI owes me $15. Most laws are fake but this one is very real, DM if you need my venmo.
