Having a random conversation about how the gazillion moons of Jupiter are the paramours of Zeus/Jupiter: “didn’t he turn into a horse?” A swan! Leda and the swan! “Zeus was the first furry. Zeus be yiffin’!”
Ladies, gentlemen, nonbinary and agender friends: I broke for a full five minutes.

Dealing with all this alone sucks but I’m glad my ex-wife spared me the indignity of dealing with all this and having to hear constant excuses asking me to forgive the rest of her family for being fascist, racist, and phobic. (Except her sister, who I feel even worse for honestly…)

I sometimes wish 300 characters was enough to encapsulate journeys of a lifetime but that amount of space hardly qualifies to give justice to anecdotes from random days!

Surrounded by family.
Surrounded by people.
In a tropical paradise.
I’ve never felt more alone.

The lack of handicap accessibility anywhere in Indonesia and the Philippines is frustrating and I’m not even dealing with it myself, just helping my mom.
So when people like Governor Abbott complain about the ADA my only response is to tell them to go fuck themselves with a durian.

It’s in these quiet moments when I wonder if my insistence on living my truth will forever prevent me from being partnered again.
I’d rather be single than pretend to be monogamous or cisgender ever again. It’s bad enough I’m still stuck full time in the boy suit.
But damn does the grief hit.

Now that I'm out non-binary, it's clear I'm never going to be married to a self-proclaimed "straight girl" ever again. That would never work.
Honestly, I'm still doubtful I'll ever get married again. Starting over in your 40s blows, especially when you've gone through the big dee *twice*.

People out there acting like treating LGBTQIA folx, POCs, women, and folks with disabilities with basic human decency and respect is an “unbearable ideological purity test”

I will say: being with anyone who insists that you silence yourself or submit to their racist family is infinitely worse than being romantically alone.
You are better than this. You deserve more, even if that more is simply self respect and human dignity.

I would love to be partnered.
Just not the way I used to be. I never thought my true self was enough, and in trying to be safe for them, I utterly, failed myself and them spectacularly.
The lesson as always is to learn and do better.
But also, this dating scene blows.

Yet again my need to remain informed and my need to stay sane are at cross purposes. Have to take time off from the news and get the damage report in recap form. Constant anger is corrosive to my psyche even when it is righteous and justified, and staying well means I live to fight tomorrow.

"non-sanctuary city" is one hell of a way to rebrand "sundown town" for 2025.

Three day weekend just turned into four. Too bad the conditions that caused this to happen also preclude birdwatching…

So it’s supposed to be 26F Tuesday morning. In totally unrelated news, guess who isn’t bike commuting Tuesday morning?
It’s me, your tropic-blooded local enby birder!

So there is a “bird a day” challenge that I joined on Facebook that I am now doing for the fourth year: from the species of birds I see any given day, pick one to use to represent that day’s efforts, and try to list as many unique species over the course of a year. No repeats. My record is 341.

I’m probably going to end up locking this significantly tighter than my Facebook. This doesn’t cross post (like Threads or Insta) so that’s useful for when I need time away from blood family (and other people who wouldn’t necessarily accept me as a trans lesbian)

People whine about “echo chambers” but honestly I need to have some fucking respite from Christofascist sycophants. Blocks should be nuclear in all socials.

Trying to suppress bird sightings of conspicuous species at public parks that are already frequented by scads of non birders is at very best misguided and probably Sisyphean. Birding isn’t just one person’s secret: it’s a community. Nature doesn’t belong to any single person.
