SAME. Was overjoyed to have Bela on Last Stop/DDTW and then I went, wait, if they play Stay next...

Then after Stay I thought, if they play Halloween, this place is going to come undone.

I have never heard a crowd roar like that. I just stared with tears in my eyes for half the song, stunned.

That makes it even better. I wish I could have seen your faces when you found out. He had to have been planning it before he wrote Friday's list, so he just sat quietly on that all day? 🤣 Tremendous.

Thank you. Truly. This whole weekend has been staggeringly transcendent. Thank you. Thank you. 🙏💚

"Regulating your nervous system" as a fancy term for being consistent and healthy about self-soothing and managing your stress/anxiety = legit.

"Regulate Your Nervous System" as a marketing slogan = sketchy.

If this is real, it's hilarious how insecure they are behind closed doors. We knew, but it's really satisfying to hear. 😂

I just found out a couple of days ago that the reason none of my cousins invite me to anything, including my godmother's husband's funeral, is because I'm out as trans nonbinary and they're all hard-line MAGA. They chose that lying fascist over me. Feels fantastic, doesn't it?

I helped an elderly man stand during the intermission of an orchestra performance today. It was really nice and brightened both our days. Strongly recommend just doing something nice for a stranger. It quieted so much of my background anxiety about the world.

I was deep into a game with an island settlement I was very proud of. And then stuff on the news cycle looked too much like my game, and suddenly it didn't feel like escapism anymore. I miss my island.

Oscillating between the highest imaginable high and the lowest conceivable low is WILD. This is a sector of the unhinged I've never explored before. I could not sleep worth a damn last night so I'm deliriously tired on top of it.

It feels like I'm speed-running a manic episode.

I absolutely want to watch someone give a presentation on he/him lesbians to a group of transvestigators.

Grieve as much as you need to, but there will be another fulfilling space for you. And then that will end, and there will come another.

You weren't wrong. You couldn't know when it would end. And it was worth it while you had it. It won't be the last time you find connection. I promise.

I don't know if this helps or makes it worse, but. It doesn't matter where you structured your social circles. Social groups have shelf lives. I've gone through this five or six times now and I've just learned to accept, it's never forever. People change, good and bad. Grow together, grow apart.

I see we are having entirely parallel internet experiences tonight.

My condolences.

Literally just came here from posting a "stop being such a bunch of cynical little freaks" comment on a local reddit post where people are huge mad about some people buying some strangers a meal. This leftist desire to grind any whisper of joy under a boot heel is exhausting.

Yes. Yes, it absolutely is.

Shut the fuck up before you get us all killed. I don’t care about your beef. Your drama. Your personal issues. Work them out in post. Right now that trans person standing next to you is your brother, your sister, your sibling. You are reliant on each other for survival whether you like it or not.
