53 year old trans woman in Canada. Musician, Gamer, IT professional, artist, poet, thief. Well, maybe not so much on the thief part. Or the poet part, I guess. Polyam but utterly saturated. Sapphic. Leftist. Very, very tired. My other username was taken

Centaur World vs. IKEA.

Sadly, "A. Because it kept getting mugged and felt powerless to address the real, systemic root causes of violent crime in its community," wouldn't fit.
Q. Why did the coffee file a police report? A. Because it kept getting mugged.

My partner Theresa took this photo of me at the Trans March. People seem to like it. :)
Me with pink and blue feathers in my hair, pink and blue lipstick, and trans coloured cake earrings. I've got a fan and I'm smiling. My hair is in ponytails.

Here's my contribution for #makeaterriblecomicday2025 ! Please note that I am not someone who makes comics under normal circumstances ever!
First panel: A record player playing "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!" Second panel: A close up of a dinosaur whose tiny arms can't reach for clapping. Third panel: A close up of the dinosaur's face with an, "Uhh... well..." look on its face. Fourth-panel: Zoomed out to show the dinosaur trying to clap and the record player playing and an asteroid flaming through the sky in the background.

40 plus appreciation post! Reskeet with a pic if you’re the right side of 40.

53, and rapidly expiring in this heat wave. :)

Tegan and Sara in Conversation today at the Stratford Festival. I don't know them as much as my partner does but it was still a fun, funny, touching, and thoughtful interview.
Four women in armchairs on a stage, each with a microphone. The women on the outside are older and the women on the inside are younger.

Uhh.
I asked Chat GPT 4o mini if it could draw an ASCII art portrait of me. I told it, "I'm a middle-aged woman with long black hair. I'm half Pakistani. I"m fat and I sometimes wear reading glasses. I have full lips. I love cats." It told me that ASCII art portraits were hard, but that it would draw something stylized that incorporated some of the mentioned elements. It then drew a penguin.

Spotify's AI desperately flailing at the attempt to craft a coherent "mix" based on my listening habits.
A Spotify-generated mix called "Daily Mix 1", the first three tracks of which are "Mind At The End of the Tether," by Tackhead, "Ostia (The Death of Pasolini)" by Coil, and "What Is Love?" by Dee-Lite.

My Wormsong Oracle deck arrived. Definitely some feels tied up in this purchase. But now I have to figure out what I plan to do with it. The art is lovely.
Three cards spread out -- the Seer, the Invocation, and the Messenger, with very flowy, otherworldly art done in a spot-colour style. A fourth card, the Saints, sits atop a large deck off to one side.

It was our Pride kickoff brunch at work today. :) @HedonicLibrary asked for photos of the outfit. The earrings are a bit hard to see but are rainbow Lego, the necklace is a trans-flag triangle, and the button says "Transphobia Sucks and Not in a Good Way".

So, what are you trying to tell me, eBay?
eBay recommending "The Solar War," a book by A.G. Riddle, as a hit for my "great space battles" search, and then saying, "You might also like," and recommending the same book eight more times.

34 years later, I finally got asked to prom.
Me, a fat older woman, with blue lips, winged eyeliner, my hair in an up-do, a blue braided bead necklace, a blue sequined dress, blue earrings, and a black jacket, with a section of hair pulled free and falling in front of my face. Roughly the same photo but from below instead of above. A full body photo of the same outfit showing the dress to be mid length. I'm wearing black tights.

Two versions of the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs pyramid, the second of which shows Unconditional Basic Income completely covering the first two levels (Psychological and Safety) and a gathered crowd cheering.

Well, it's the last day of Hot Docs. Ten documentary films in ten days with my partner. It was a lot of fun, often intense, and regularly enlightening. It's very weird that it's over and I have to go back to work on Monday. I'll try to get some thoughts up soon. :)
Yours truly in a blue plush restaurant booth with a tartan table cloth. I'm wearing an orange T-shirt and smiling.
