I figured out why no one on my bowling team can hit the pocket.
Because we're all trans women.
And women don't get pockets.

It is a bit of a trop to go to a nerd event and see someone you know from a completely different context...
Then move three states and a time alone away... and see that same person at a completely different event.

A friend wrote a neat little micro-fic yesterday and I felt inspired to add to it. I know I'm biased but I think we did good.
You're fresh from crystasis as of an hour ago and been briefed on the mission. As you enter the hangar, there she is. Majestic, regal, and deadly. She does not quite reach the height of other mechs, but this quadrupedal fox-like machine configured similarly to centaurs of myth is an agile beast

I'm so tired of having to mute video game channels.
Someone posted a "game devs then vs now" meme in the video game channel of a Discord I'm in. The discussion after was.. exhausting.
And this is a small Discord of nothing but friends and I'm not even the only dev there!

What is the opposite of the prefix "a-" like in "asexual"?
I'm Ace. But I'm 'the-exact-opposite-of-a'-romantic. I'm yes-romantic. Pro-romantic. Holy-heck-please-romantic. I-need-it-right-now-romantic.
Fuck I need a hug.

Some days I'm content with where I am and my progress. Some days feel hopeless and I want to just give up and lay in the dirt until the earth takes me.
Today is very much the latter.

Today I got my updated drivers license. New name, new photo, new gender marker.
And yet all my brain wants to do is go be godzilla out in the yard, have a nap and growl at and smash anyone and anything that gets too close.

I need a reason to keep going.
I need something other than "but other people will be sad".
I need something for me. I fear I'm running out of myself to give away. To support. To hold and help. And when that runs out...
What reason is there?

Finally sent my mom the "goodbye and good luck" email. I'm so tired of everything feeling like my fault, of always getting hurt, of feeling like I'm ignored and not valued.
If I'm gonna get in trouble anyway, I might as well get in trouble for standing up for myself.

I still think a lot about the icon a friend had way back on Livejournal of all places.
It said: "If you're not angry, then you're not paying attention."

Just attended DVS6 over the weekend. Despite it being entirely digital, on streaming and discord, I felt more connected and more a part of the convention than I have at most physical conventions I've attended. Including some where I was staff!
