The End Crowns All by @beafitzgerald.bsky.social is a hefty tome and I took a long time to get stuck in because of life stuff but now that I am, I’m delighted by the subtle representation that makes me feel seen.

HELLO YES I MADE THIS SWEATER! This is the Simply Tweedy sweater form Hobbi with a slight adjustment to the sleeves. I didn’t like that they striped horizontally while the rest of the sweater had vertical, so I changed it. Anyway. Yay! #hobbiisimplytweedy

This isn’t the first time something like this has crossed my feed. Ever since then, my nausea will not go away. I can’t sleep, I can’t work. I live in fear even though I legally and visually pass as cis. (Laziness and a disdain for paperwork paid off I guess?) I’m terrified to go home.
A trans woman in Los Angeles tried to get a new passport (no matter what gender marker), since her old one had expired. She was denied a valid passport, and threatened with arrest if she continued to refuse to leave. This is a terrifying development.
There is now a de facto travel ban on trans people in the United States.
A Los Angeles trans woman was denied a passport even with a reverted M marker. She was threatened with arrest. She is being denied a passport in its entirety - not unlike Jews in Nazi Germany.

I checked my backpack 5 times or more. I gave up looking for my hard drive. Got to campus and there it was in my backpack 😖

My hard drive is missing. Here’s hoping it’s a silly little prank by my subconscious and it’s actually right in front of me waiting for someone else to pick it up and show me.

I loved @nubesrosas.bsky.social pinup Karlach so much I got it as a tattoo (after buying a tattoo pass of course). @marelletattoos.bsky.social did such an amazing job translating the illustration to a tattoo— I can’t wait to go back to her for my next one!

I’ve been wrestling with the fact that I’m such a people pleaser that I allowed myself to be coerced into unsafe sex that I didn’t really want to have because I felt like I had to in order to be permitted to move on. I don’t really know what to do with myself about it.

Followed my poetry research with a dive into Rhetorics of Fantasy by @effjayem.bsky.social. Today’s take away is that my characters are experiencing different kinds of stories because they do not relate to the world in the same way. Luce is going on a quest while Daire is an antagonist in the world.

Reading poems from Queering the Green, an anthology of queer Irish poetry edited by Paul Maddern— focused specifically on Padraig Regan and the way I see identity explored in their poetry. Whether that was the intent or not, I see an echo of self in the study of a tomato.
