Heading to the hospital for top surgery in about an hour 👀 For anyone wanting to help in my recovery, my friends set up a SupportNow page - sign up to bring a meal, come hang out, send good vibes, throw me a few bucks if you can. It's all appreciated! www.supportnow.org/jess-needles

if you missed the forum on threats to the LGBTQ community today, the MN legislators queer caucus are hosting a meet & greet tomorrow night at queermunity queermunity.spacebring.com/suite/organi...

Reconnecting with a version of me that never set foot inside of Ashland Middle School.

they were all in love with pickles they were eating from the fountain that was pouring like a waterfall coming down the mountain

Time for the nightly freakout 🎉 It's like I'm looking at a door and have zero sense of what lies beyond it, my brain just errors out if I try to imagine myself on the other side. I'm gonna go to sleep and wake up without my tits? For real? It's too big a concept to process.

Graffiti seen at Lyndale and Franklin:

Trying to cash in savings bonds with my birth name on them. Getting the feeling this would've been easier six weeks ago.

Today's energy feels somewhat like a couple days before a baby is born. Panicky nesting mode, including last-minute home repair projects. At least I don't have an uncertain timeline to contend with here.

The sky says Trans Rights! Less than 59 hours until check-in. Feeling approximately ALL the feelings

Lost verse of "I Am The Walrus"

I'm unreasonably annoyed about Starburst candies advertising themselves as "juicy". You lying little brick of corn syrup, that's not YOUR juice, that's MY saliva. You're just turning my spit into Tang.

Awake at 4am feeling the enormity of what I'm about to do, this massive unburdening It's a huge thing that I'm doing for myself, after a lifetime of prioritizing other people's needs and comfort over my own. I deserve to feel comfortable in my body, why does this feel so scary?

There's a union out there called AFSCME and they're busting their balls for you doing a lot of shit work you take for granted

I totally missed the anniversary of my father's death this year, although based on how awful I felt that week my body was aware of it. Two years in, it's still weird as hell to be experiencing grief over a death I'm not sad about.

Reminder. Your job is to exist. To find happiness. Not to suffer so that others can grow.

I see the anxiety dreams about getting to the hospital on time have started. One more week.

I'm rereading The Magicians & my brain has decided that Brakebills and Unseen University are one and the same. Specifically, I keep expecting The Librarian to shuffle in and say "ook"

the important thing to know about my ceramics practice is that unlike everything else in my life, I approach this with a deep unseriousness. fish guy with a little dick, 2024

watching the twin cities ‘love is blind’ and i have an idea of how to improve this - we combine it with ‘the masked singer’ so the blind aspect is because they’re all dressed up like mascots

Soup: mirepoix, garlic, diced tomatoes, meatballs. Considering adding great northern beans and/or canned artichoke hearts, what do we think?

Got the urge to make tiny meatballs so I'm gonna make tiny meatballs. And put them in soup. Also: pinto beans with chorizo. There's a bunch of other stuff I could/should be doing to prepare for surgery but it's also pretty important to have food I like on hand.

Last night as I was getting ready to go out to an Irish music gig, there was a knock and a giggle at our front door. A group of pre-teens had come to ask if they could have our giant icicle that was hanging off our porch. They we're so happy when I said yes, and it took 2 of them to carry it off.

The first SNL episode is closer to the first publication of "The Great Gatsby" than to today.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Ok, yo, if you're a neighbor who shovels or snowblows your neighbor's sidewalks, you're just a wonderful person. Thank you.

Met a yellow lab with a head the size of a bowling ball.

I've been doing ok today but someone came to talk about our late coworker, who was on the small team I lead. I have the sads. We weren't close but she was a valued part of the team, I'm really glad I told her so on a regular basis.
