Students' parents at my workplace are sharing a petition against a bill expanding sex ed in the country. The petition goes as far as calling the acceptance of homosexuality "harmful".
I am absolutely seething.

I feel sad, angry, scared and just incredibly frustrated.
And my job is responsible for more than a bit of this. How can there be things I love so much about this job and also things that disgust me so much? Sometimes I wish I had a job I felt a bit more indifferent about.

Got called "ma'am" for the first time in the Philippines yesterday. It was our pizza delivery guy and I love him for that.
I still get called "sir" 5-10 times a day courtesy of security guards greeting me every time I pass by, and students being used to calling me that after 8 years.
But still!

I keep crying every other hour today. Incredible how quickly this week turned to shit, and with life altering consequences too.

I am always completely and utterly freaked out before flying. Don't mind the airplanes at all but the airports basically terrify me.
Three days to get back home...
I hate that process so much. I know I'm massively privileged to be able to go visit my family once in a while but still. 😔

Family dinner out! So we made ourselves pretty for the occasion! 🥰
And then we massively struggled to take a selfie together. 🤭

Today was an interesting day. I had to spend a few hours in the hospital as we were investigating a condition I have.
And I got three separate gender affirming moments from three complete strangers. Which is more than I've ever had until now.

First self-injection done. It was both terrifying and at the same time easier than I thought it would be.
I got scared when I saw the 20 gauge needle, but it wasn't all that painful.

We're with my extended family for the week. So far they've been doing a good job calling me Emmy even if the pronouns need work.
And earlier as we were toasting with one of my aunts and her husband, she loudly declared at the end that we'll always be accepted and loved just as we are. 💜

Margaritas to beat the heatwave and the accompanying sense of end of the world (it is NOT supposed to be this hot here). 🤷

Yesterday I went out in full makeup for the first time. 😳
I don't feel super safe posting that anywhere so I'm putting it here, where no one sees what I write 🤭
I did cop out a little and put a hat on. But it still kinda counts!

Recorded in my parents' garden, you get to look at us and at trees at the same time. What more can you ask for? 🤭
This one is about time and our struggles to keep up with it and do the most of it.

Today marks 165 months together! 🎈 🥳 🎉
Thank you for giving me a really special birthday a few days ago. But more importantly for making every day so much more radiant and beautiful since we met 165 months ago.
I love you 🥰

Something funny/odd happened to me a couple months ago. The kind of thing that I usually think only happens to other people.
For some context: I play(ed) go, the East Asian strategy board game, and follow go-related accounts on IG, including a French artist who illustrates for go books and events.

I'm here because the moderation (and lack thereof) on Threads feel increasingly transphobic. But the community is incredible for the most part.
I'm hoping to find the same vibes here minus the sense of impending doom at the hands of Meta.

By far my favorite thing about spending the summer in France rather than in the Philippines is the late sunsets. I love having bright skies until 10pm! ✨

Alright, first time I do a timeline. Not terribly meaningful at this stage of my transition (10 months in) but here's me at 24 and me a couple days ago, on my 34th birthday.
