dear brain:

valentine’s day isn’t that bad.
you just have negative associations with it from … five years ago.
and also on a much more minor scale… a few years before that.

the enthanate is doing things valerate didn’t.

like… i have been on the verge of tears more than i’m used to in the last week. sometimes explainable. and sometimes not.

this is new after 9 years of hrt.

you know?

i’ve never been stood up on a date.

because i’ve gone on so few dates that weren’t with people i was already in a relationship with.

weird.
i don’t think i’ve ever quite grasped how dating is supposed to work.

every year for the past… over a decade,
(minus 2021)

this weekend has been a work weekend.
and that’s the extent of valentine’s day for me for well over a decade.
honestly that probably goes back to 2010.

is everybody suddenly horny posting tonight?
what exactly is going on?

was there a gas leak?
February 14, 2026 at 4:49 AM
love 11-12 hour work days!

(i don’t. i’m exhausted. in the last three days i’ve gotten maybe 8 hours of sleep? from when i got up wednesday until now anyways. including getting up at 4am yesterday. driving 10+ hours and then working until 1:30 am)

working with college friends this weekend.

who i see every year here.
they have two kids.

and their eldest is trans (which is news since last year). they’re going to see about potentially getting her in blockers soon.

oh hello, chest dysphoria.
will you ever just go the fuck away?

chicago’s queercore scene has gotten so big that now there’s a weird musical bridge between chicago & boston.
see also: the lineup for iwishyoucameback (featuring members of coma witch, jill valentine, what it felt like…live fill in from the bassist of teeth kids/latter)
and that’s just one example.

well then.

the last 24 hours has really been a rollercoaster.
trying to pack for the first work weekend of the year. (so full cargo van of stuff)

weather got nice finally yesterday.
rain inside the warehouse.
well. melting snow.
on a roof that was redone in nov of 23. definitely should NOT leak.

i was going to read tonight.

but it’s almost 1:30am & i just decided to call it a night on work and… try & get everything else done tomorrow.

sewing, packaging, packing…

tomorrow… more packing. and loading. and shoveling. because my loading area is all packed with snow.

going to be a long day.
February 10, 2026 at 6:24 AM
today’s just been … rancid vibes all day.
February 10, 2026 at 3:13 AM
with the ever tightening noose of social media …

and online communities being the only real community i have these days, despite (years of) efforts to the contrary,

maybe this is the year i drop off the internet and everybody forgets i exist.
maybe this is the year i essentially leave the internet.

of course it’s not like i have anything to fall back on.

what queer community i have (tenuous) exists online.

so as things shrink…
there goes more of my connections to people.

and honestly … i’m already more isolated than is normal or mentally healthy for a person.
this is just putting up more layers of separation.
well.
on top of the discord news. which likely will be shrinking even more online community access,

the state i live in is officially no longer doing gender marker changes on licenses as of today.
mine is done. but my personal worry is that they’ll follow texas’ lead and revert on renewals.

i would like for the winter to be over now.

the cold & all this snow just kinda…
it’s doing a number on me from multiple directions. complicating work a bunch. i have to bundle up like a potato & feel awful about my appearance. nobody’s out doing things, so i spend my time alone…

can it get warm?
February 8, 2026 at 8:40 PM
but for real:
who the fuck is this?
February 8, 2026 at 2:51 AM
there's so much trans media that centers on trauma or body horror....

but what about some of us who just want a good regular drama or romcom or something?

why's it all got to be so... dark? (ok. i know why. but it's a lot sometimes. and a happy escape would be nice for variety.)
February 7, 2026 at 2:29 AM
because music, my life has been more heavily documented than some.
years and years of band shots. and videos. from regional shows. tours. etc.

everyone now and then i find something i’d forgotten and it’s so strange. like “who the fuck is that? is THAT what i looked like?”
February 7, 2026 at 1:58 AM
damn. new MØL album released last week and i totally missed it.

this whole blackgaze thing is… very much my jam. in its various forms. (including Holy Fawn and Som. bands like that. though møl tends to have more black metal vocals. which i’m here for)
February 6, 2026 at 10:03 PM
apparently it’s bandcamp friday,

SO

go preorder the Ameokama record. (on vinyl. that’s a new thing as of today, i think)

OR you could get stuff from one of my bands.
