So I'm pretty emotionally blind--alexithymia they call it!--which I'm working on, always working, always working. So it was interesting this evening, discussing work with my wife, to really notice that I was Angry, but not Enraged. Rage, I get, she's my toxic friend from small times. Anger is new.

And done! I am calling it Building Together because it does look like a rainbow city grid and solidarity really is what I need right now. This was faster to make than my first and I can feel myself improving. Is there more to work on? Yep! But, we are -building- not -perfecting-.

Every time I go for electrolysis and the nice lady who's about to spend an hour zapping my crotch leaves so I can keep a sliver of dignity as I get as bottomless as a Red Robin side, I am forced to ask myself: should I take my socks off too? Is that too casual? Is it weird to put my boots back on?

Just finished helping my daughter organize her big pile of cookies for delivery. Want in on this? Want to support trans youth (and an organization that itself supports trans youth)? Want cookies? Let me know, if you live near me, or buy online: digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/miles8...

Having just finished Citizen Sleeper 2, immediately after re-playing the first Citizen Sleeper, and I think the thing I want most right now are more games in this mechanical vein. I also love the setting, you know I love Post-Collapse Societies and Big Space Shit, but give me more dice and clocks.

My Valentine's gift from my girlfriend is this stunning and INCREDIBLY on-brand sapphic Mystery Inc. art, which has found a place of pride on my wall.

Me: "One important thing to know about me is that I'll never restructure my entire sexual identity based on a three-second gag from the tail end of last-season episode of a cartoon for nerds." Kassia Nox: "We're a bunch of scrappy underdogs. Arf, arf!" Me: "... god dammit."

This was a stretch of my skills (and my little domestic sewing machine), but I successfully finished the quilting stage. I love the overall look of the ripples.

Got dilated at the optometrists a couple hours ago, and now I got Ziggy Stardust Eyes. I... I would like this to stop now.

"Listen kid, having imposter syndrome about gender isn't unique to you. And it's not a trans thing either. Frankly, the cornerstone of our national economy is convincing women that they aren't womanning hard enough." I didn't anticipate these sorts of lessons would be a part of parenting.

The worst thing about self-injection is that once every like three months or so I'll find myself with a needle halfway into place and suddenly PANIC like "what the fuck what are you doing stop right now" as if I don't do this every six days and then I have to redo the whole setup.

A patron, looking at my name tag: "So... Lara. Is that your... biological name?" Yes ma'am, it's encoded into my DNA. Sigh.

Today seemed like a good day to update my NO TERFS NO SWERFS IN MY SURF art into something more badass. Shark teeth and sharp claws. Fix your hearts or end up chum.

The transfeminine journey from "t-shirts are easy and I don't need to think about clothing or my body I will wear nothing else" to "t-shirts are boxy boring boy clothes I will never wear them again" to "holy heck, t-shirts make my rack look great I should wear them all the time."

My thing is that I thing professional sports in general, and football especially, have made the world a measurably worse place, and I am not so much uninterested as I am actively opposed to them. My other thing is that people who say "sportsball" are annoying as hell.

To-day my daughter asked a barista, a STRANGER, for a little stopper for her hot chocolate. This has been a major advance in the field of "my anxious little kiddo using her voice." Small steps, and I am very proud.

I think all modern CRPGs should come with a "social anxiety" mode where all the "[Party member] liked/disliked that" messages end with a question mark. "Nick Valentine liked that? Maybe?" "Morrigan hated that? And secretly hates you?" "Karlach... approves?"

So my surgeon says that if my hair removal continues apace and my weight holds stable and the gov't doesn't fuck my shit--big "if"--then I can expect bottom surgery in about a year. Longer than I'd like, sure, but I am In The System now, with one last year to make the most of pissing standing up.
