Crafter, Writer, Transmasc, and Disabled. Expect some politics, some creativity, and mostly buffoonery. Feel free to ask about my suprapubic catheter or colostomy!
I feel so damn sick. I'm coughing up crap constantly, can only breathe through my nose sporadically, and just feel incredibly worn out and drained.
But life continues and work needs done and kids need homeschooled and teenagers need wrangled into doing their chores.
So I keep going.

"youth gender medicine is safe, effective, and comparable to other mainstream medical treatments."
The Utah Report shows exactly what the people commissioning it didn’t want to see, that gender affirming care works.

Plentiful Data, No Regret: What the Utah Review on Youth Trans Care Found — Assigned
A 1,000-page report by the College of Pharmacy at the University of Utah, which found care safe and effective, stands out from others: It’s both independent and an actual review of the evidence.

Call your Senators. This bill points a gun at the disabled, trans, and poor. Flooding their phones is the only way anything shifts here.
It's cruel. It's an incredible escalation of their anti-trans culture war. And there is still a chance to stop the provision in the Senate, so if you have a trans person in your life you care about, I implore you - make your voice heard with your Senators. Both of them. Republican OR Democrat.
BREAKING: Republicans pass ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ stripping transgender Americans of health care
The Human Rights Campaign called the bill "cruel."

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again as a punk trans native: fight for the right NOT TO CONFORM. My right to move through this world presenting how I want is YOUR RIGHT to move through this world presenting how you want.
Let me look like a scary blob for the good of society.

The reason why you should care about the freedom of trans folks is that the fight for trans acceptance is the fight for the rights to your own body, its the fight for the right to fundamental self-expression, if you let them erase us then your body will be next to get regulated

She got home safely. I had to get up to put the 7 year old back to bed after. That was at four in the morning. I had to get up at 7:45 to get the teens ready for my boyfriend to take them to school, since my wife has no car. Now I'm home schooling the 12 year old. I still have work tonight.

Still not asleep. I was about to take my meds when my wife called to let me know that she had misjudged a U turn and her car was in a ditch. I'm waiting up while she walks home. Tomorrow we'll see if my boyfriend's SUV can pull her car back onto the road.

I am exhausted after two and a half hours of overtime this morning, and should be in bed, as my alarm goes off in six hours, but I just watched our beloved idiot orange cat attempt to stalk and pounce his equally brainless grey brother and it was adorable.

The 12 year old decided to call 911 from the school office phone today and insists that it was an accident. Given that this is the second time she's done this, doubtful does not even begin to describe my thoughts. It has resulted in her being suspended for the rest of the school year.

I ordered Iris and Petunia seeds online. Both upon coming in have turned out to be Snapdragon seeds. I'm getting a full refund for both, but had already purchased Snapdragon seeds elsewhere, so now don't know what to do with so many Snapdragons!

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?
139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.
