Took me a 9-hour session, the longest I've sat for at one time, but I finally got my half-sleeve tattoo for my arm done.

Now to patiently let it heal for a week before I unwrap it like an early Christmas present 🎁

Can't believe I spent the first 27 years of my life hating when I had to be in photos, and all it took was some good ol' HRT to feel confident amd beautiful enough to take selfie and headshots. Funny how that works.

I certainly have a flair for the dramatic, with the confidence to match.
A lovely photo of a tired woman fed up with the world, with a nice red lip and eyeshadow to match, accentuated by a sharp black eyeliner.

Done hearing the opinions of cis dudes on "identity." Honestly, just done hearing their opinions on anything.

No thanks, I'm good on men who sexually harass women and offhandedly use slurs.
A screenshot of a journal article stating: "In another incident in 2019, The Times reported that a male aide to Cuomo was 'stunned' when the governor told him 'You'd be a good-looking tranny if you get a good set of tits,' according to a person with direct knowledge of the comment."

A night full of love and family. Having a room full of people tell you that you look beautiful and that your dress is gorgeous really boosts the ego, lol. Excuse the selfie. We had been going for like 6 hours at that point, and we were both drunk as a skunk. Rich Jersey Shore weddings hit different.
A dinner of grilled chicken breast with sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella, all covered in a vodka sauce. Sautéed green beans and seasoned sweet potatoes are plated on the side. Two goobers in love. One is in a red sequin dress and has a set of matching black quartz earrings and a necklace. She has bright red lipstick and an easy facade of makeup for her face. The other goober is dressed smartly in a grey suit with a black velvet shirt and matching violet tie. His black and violet ombre hair brings the outfit together and shows his beauty.

After a bit of a drive, my lovely husband and I managed to make it to Jersey. There is nothing as great as being presented as "my wife" to all the friends and family we haven't seen in forever. He's the best a girl can get, hands down.

Okay, Seattle stays winning with the best jerseys in hockey. This is the Pride night logo by local Seattle artist Vegas Vecchio. They did such an amazing job! It only hurts that I won't be able to snag this anywhere 😢
The Seattle Kraken 'S' logo. It's outline in rainbow colored flowers and hearts and the center showcases a black unicorn in with rainbow hooves, hair, and horn. Behind the unicorn, the background of the logo is filled in with pastel trans pride coloring.

Went on a lovely hike with my husband. When the world feels tough, sometimes a walk amongst nature helps to restore me. I love fall, and I love my little hubby.
A portrait looking from a forest bed upwards into the tree tops. The trees are all various color bursts of reds and oranges, yellows and greens, the perfect fall foliage. A pathway covered in fallen leaves is ringed on the right side by a gentle rolling hill and an overhang of tall green trees on the left. The path curves right and down the hill, with an old wooden railing following at the trail side. A landscape of a river embankment. The water is a murky green-brown mix, not quite translucent. Tall cattail plants lie just inside the right frame the, while in the distance, an old wooden river path rises above the water. A flock of white and brown ducks is flying together above the cattails towards the edge of the picture. All of this is framed with a line of green and orange tree tops. Overhead, thin, wispy streaks of clouds litter a pristine blue sky. A tall, white woman with black hair inlaid with red streaks hugs tightly to her husband, a shorter, blonde-haired gentleman. They both have glasses, with the former wearing large square-frame sunglasses and the latter sporting plain rectangle reading lenses. In the distance, a lush tree-lined encloses a slow, peaceful river.

Moving to the northeast is truly like moving to a wonderland. I've never experienced fall foliage like this before. Now I get to see it every day! I can't wait for this weekend. A hike through some lovely trails with my love will heal me.
A landscape picture of a river with trees looming over each side embankment. The trees are lush and full, having turned different shades of browns and oranges and yellows. Clear, blue skies illuminated by a gentle sunrise showcase a few clouds. In the distance, an old stone bridge looms over the river.

Ooh! I can do this!

If you see this, post the most recent photo of yourself from your camera roll. No cheating!
Aurelia, a tall woman with black and red streaked hair, standing in front of a large Tiamat statue. The statue displays Tiamat perched upon a grey stonework base with "Dungeons and Dragons" in bright red lettering on the base. A giant D20 die is inlaid in the base as a jewel.

My most recent find was this lovely book. It's a collection of first-hand accounts and oral histories regarding life in the American South during Jim Crow. A powerful read that provides a clear picture of the life of black people during that time. Absolutely love it!
A picture of the novel "Those Who Saw the Sun" by Jaha Nailah Avery. The cover is a reddish sun set on a bright orange background. The name is emblazoned in bold black letters. It's a collection of first-hand accounts of black people in the American South during the Jim Crow era.

This is what she voted to honor. This is who she is upholding. And other Dems who voted yes. Charlie Kirk literally deadnamed her, misgendered her, and called her a fetishist for being trans. She voted to say that was honorable and truthful. Cis people need to stay outta the way of trans issues.
Tweet by Charlie Kirk that states: Rep. "Sarah" McBride says Republicans are obsessed with culture war issues. This coming from a delusional man who wants to force all of society to change its laws to indulge his sexual fetish." Quote over a picture of McBride in Congress standing behind a podium and addressing press.

I realize I said "trams" not "trans" and now I just envision this photo.

This is you. And while the statement "I'd vote for a copy of Hitler" is vile on it's own, your reasoning is illogical. Do you think marginalized people only belong to one group? There are trans immigrants, there are homeless immigrants, and homeless trans people. Groups can overlap. Save them all.
Dean Solecki writes a bluesky reply stating: "If given a choice between Hitler, and a copy of Hitler, bit he happens to have an issue with romani, im going to vote for pro-romani Hitler. Because if someone can get away, well, that's better than nothing. But I guess you'd let the Romani die too? What is the sense in that?" He later deleted the post after receiving severe backlash for his fascist statements.
