Oof. I'm getting called out left and right these days.

Update! OP happened to find it sitting at the apartment's Valentines Day craft table and moved it back to the mailroom for me. It's now safely at home :D

Thanks! I confirmed with the OP, it's absolutely mine 🙃 I'm gonna check in with the apartment manager and see if they have my ribbon.. at the moment I'm practicing maintaining a neutral expression. Otherwise yeah I'll throw a message in the contact form.

I'm so sorry. I just lost one of my girls a few weeks ago. Be kind to yourself 💜

No idea I just go through life clicking buttons and entering credit card information until something happens! It's how I live.

I preordered it on the publisher site -- forgot -- preordered it at my bookstore. Started it, and then two weeks later got another copy. Felt like an idiot 🙃

Nice! Weirdly i also tackled a bunch of laundry and folding this weekend despite being in a "Sure wish I simply wasn't" headspace. Barely even 1 clothes pile left.

And thanks for the book rec. I just placed a hold on Herculine. :)

I wish it were easier.. And there's things I get devastatingly sad about sometimes. But the prospect of inviting a cosmic change like that feels like saying goodbye to this person while a whole new one takes my place. Someone not me. It feels like I'm grieving two lives sometimes.

💜 I loved reading this. I've been trying to process feelings of regret over not coming out sooner, over not having a childhood I wished I had, over not being born cis. It tears me up sometimes. But the thought of losing everything I've built? I've worked so hard to be where I am.. to give that up?

Legitimately a thing I think about too -- I don't think my family is prepared for what the media and loud men would say about me, how they'd use me. Feels like a final bid to get loved ones to dehumanize and other me and I worry that without being around.. it'd work to some degree. :/

If the 1st one didn't hit I dont think the 2nd one will endear you any. I really liked the first, but I found the 2nd less accessible and less grounded. If I get your frustration with part 1, the 2nd is just gonna show you a variation of the shit you didnt like in the 1st but again and more

And then excitedly announced his pleasure at being the first to congratulate Ms. [my full name]. I'll never forget him being there when I felt my most vulnerable. It's been a tough time, but I've also been part of so many powerful positive interactions I can't help but feel big feelings sometimes

After barely explaining he waved us in "We'll take care of ya!" and sat me down and processed everything for me right there. He told a story about how a friend of his chose her new name, asked me about mine, and conducted the hearing all within the span of 15 mins.

I got my name changed this year just before inauguration and there was an error in my paperwork that got me dropped from the docket day of. We were told by the clerk to leave and reapply which might take weeks. We went to the courtroom anyway just in case. The judge saw us: "Hey! Need help?"

I really love this piece! Do you sell prints?

I just had a cat pass away at the beginning of December and this makes me all wistful but like.. in a good way.

What. Three ribs?? That's so many! I don't think I've been nearly worried enough about slipping in the shower.
December 30, 2025 at 8:03 AM
That's so hard. I'm sorry.
December 27, 2025 at 7:35 AM
Yeah -- Even now, every new procedure I hear/learn about reopens a question that has legit delayed my decision making around what surgeries I might be interested in. Am I chasing after something because it'll make ME feel better or because it feels like 'the thing you do' as a trans woman? Rough.
