Wearing a sports bra rather than a binder for the first time in maybe 2 months and it's weird. Maybe if I pretend I just have MASSIVE PECS.

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

Y'all. Y'all. I ended up having to make an extended stop at my local chain hardware store and made the executive decision to USE THE MEN'S ROOM FOR THE FIRST TIME *brainpanicaaaaaaaaahhhhh* *actualpanicahhhhhhhh*

I haven’t had book hangover in so long, but here I am being sleep deprived from staying up late to finish Sistersong, being to amped up about it to get to sleep, and now trying to caffeinate and search for fan art to fill this void that Keyne's story has left in my psyche.

And Transmasculine Visibility Day was just the right day for finishing Sistersong by Lucy Holland. Not convinced this wasn't written 100% for me, personally - transmasc mc? Historical Celtic setting? Druid-y magic? Firmly in my top 5 favorite books.

Apparently it's Transmasculine Visibility Day - here I am, visible, 3 weeks on T 😁

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

So, my elderly MAGA Mom asked me if I had a warm hat she could borrow because her head gets cold while she sleeps. I brought her my warmest, softest hat from Knock Thrice (pictured below. Also says something about Adelaide Parade on the back). This was the conversation that ensued.

Had my first actual doing-the-processing-and-reprocessing EMDR session today and still kinda mindblown about it.

Staff development cancelled due to snow but I still have to get out because snow will not stop me from getting to therapy, so I'm just slowly making my way to Boone over the course of the day. Glad my coffee believes in me ❤️

DA:V thoughts: - Straight up cried with the options during the gender conversation with Taash and Neve. Taash annoyed me at first, now they're like my Rook's annoying younger sibling who happens to be twice my dwarf Rook's height and if you come for them I will END you. 🧵

The world might suck right now, but for a couple hours I didn't care because there was music and dancing, and I needed that ❤️

Found out that a pub near-ish to me (what passes for "near") has an Irish trad band that plays on Thursdays and now I am in a bar for the first time in... years? Used up every bit of social courage I had just to get myself to go in the door so now I'm like COOL I DID IT doIjustleavenow help

Went out in the gross weather for mental health reasons, and it was worth it ☕️ 📖 (also my coffee place has invented a Valentine's Day special with hazelnut and blackberry syrup, and it's delicious.)

Doing collection development, going down a rabbit hole of all the amazing queer YA fic that's out now that I wish I'd had as a teen. I was stuck with Dare, Truth, or Promise and Deliver Us From Evie... god, what I would have done for some of these amazing-sounding books with transmasc characters.

Todays's library ridiculousness: just "learned" from a patron that the government "spent 25k on a tea party for "transgenders" in Iraq" - told her I was offended that I didn't get an invite.

Had extremely depressing, dystopian dreams that were far too relevant to reality, but at least there was a cat in them.

I have been sooo slowwww to play DA:V because somehow I feel like I'm cheating on my Faerûn polycule but my Rook and Harding are so adorable I could just die, so I keep plugging along *despite* how much I hate real-time combat aka "push all the buttons while I scream"
