I am REALLY fucking sick and tired of people feeling the need to comment on my height/size. It’s one of the things I’m most dysphoric about and it’s been happening SO MUCH lately. I don’t comment on people’s shortness do I?

Going back to the field this week is honestly kinda breaking my heart.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.

The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Am I crazy for wanting to spend real money on fake money?? Granted, it is ancient money…

Well, parents just texted me wishing me a merry Christmas while deadnaming me. First contact from them in months so partial win??

Anyway, I have the next weekend off so it’s time for two cups of coffee.

I don’t really want to make this platform an actual “thing” but it is kinda nice to have somewhere I can shout into the void for venting considering no one really follows or interacts with me on here lol

First Christmas out as trans and therefore the first Christmas without my family/parents. Still working through that but it’s pretty weird. Been a tough year friendship-wise what with a lot of friends leaving me so I’m feeling pretty lonely lately and the whole Christmas thing isn’t helping.

lol I forgot I had this thing. Guess I should update it now that I’m out as trans and then forget about it again.

Just finished @guygavrielkay.bsky.social ‘s “Last Light of the Sun” for the first time yesterday. I’m not ashamed to admit I cried at the end. Absolutely incredible book. It has made its way to my top 10 of all time.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

I’m almost starting to appreciate my insanity with obsessing over finding citations and sources for shit that doesn’t matter at all. Not that much appreciation but y’know 🤷‍♀️

Watched both Monkey Man and Boy Kills World last night as a double feature. Man, 10/10 for both of them. Hope this signals a new style for action movies for the future. Also both Dev Patel and Bill Skarsgård can get it.

I see Tom Rowsell (AKA Survive the Jive) is rebranding himself as the cosy face of English #paganism.

He's got a @hopenothate.org.uk file for a reason - much as he comes across as educated, he isn't & underpinning his output is far right ideology.

Day 3 of holiday vacation. I have accomplished nothing that needed doing save dialing in the grind for my new coffee. Somehow I think I’m still crushing it. #deluluisthesolulu

Today's vote in Congress by 81 Democrats to target the trans kids of our military servicemembers should be a defining moment.

Mainline LGBT+ organizations will face a moment of truth when they have to now put public pressure on Dems.

People who say they've "had our backs" will have to show it.

I know there’s always the possibility with shipping fragile things (especially international) but I’m still really annoyed at getting a new badger mug in and the handle is in 4 pieces 🙃

Of course, I only have 4 followers and it’s likely I won’t use the platform much so it may be a moot point lmao
