This website underscores the gravity of what’s at stake in the US. This isn’t just a fun political game that one team is “winning”. One team is actively complicit in thousands of deaths — *right now*

Just got this passed on to us, about the damage at NIH's home campus -- the largest biomedical research institute in the world. "The articles on cuts and damage assessments are largely grants focused. The grants program is a bit easier to characterize because it’s visible outside the NIH..." 🧪 1/

Last year, I finally came out to my family as nonbinary. Soon, almost exactly a year later, I will be coming out as a trans woman. At this point, I'm wondering if I should just schedule an Annual Notice of Changes for myself...

Me: Wow, I’m doing so many stressful things at once Friends: You know… you are *choosing* do most of these things right? Me: …yes? Friends: you could, like, *choose* to do fewer stressful things? Me: Friends: Me: You vastly overestimate my self control.

Long story, but I had to boymode all weekend. Which was Fine. But I immediately got home, threw on a skirt, and went to the queer bookstore. I’m back in my happy place.

Being on the internet right now is like playing a gigantic game of the floor is lava except the lava is real but it causes psychic damage and not fire damage.

I'm out in an increasing number of contexts, and it just feels so good being Elise? I just get to... be me. Rather than juggling different versions of me. I'm excited.

My feed currently consists of people who are angry at capitalism, and people who are angry for the sake of being angry (also know as Philadelphians).

I "officially" changed my name to Elise at my yoga studio, which somehow feels incredibly wild to me?

You know, despite everything, there's a lot of joy in being "newly" trans... Sure, yes, there's a lot that's hard. But I'm getting to explore and define myself in such greater depth and with much greater honesty than ever before. I'm stoked. #trans #transgender #lgbtq #transjoy

I love y'all, but we can't just keep spamming each other with the worst possible news stories. I get it. You want to feel like you're doing something. That's valid as fuck. But feeding the freak-out-frenzy ain't gonna help. Find another way.
