For anyone transphobic: us trans folks will be a thorn in your side until your last breath.
We’ve always been here. We’ll be here forever. Until the universe becomes a singularity again. Regardless of what you do, we will exist. Forever. And ever.

I’ve been using @notion.com since its inception and, to this day, even dubbed by many as “the notion expert” in my workplaces, database tables remain wildly confusing. It takes so much time to make them work how I want, and explain the weird page structure to people.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the phrase "to be known is to be loved" a lot lately, and even if it was adapted from something some Presbyterian pastor said about god, I do think it's a succinct encapsulation of how love has worked around me in recent times and how I perceive love as well.

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.
