40-something trans puppy girl. Lesbian, anti-capitalist, polyamorous, US expat in Canada. She/her pronouns. Will probably write far too much here in ways that don't fit the general vibe since I never really got past the Livejournal way of doing things.
Have you seen these new Pizza Hut ads? I would love to "get my hut hit more often", but I don't think that's what they mean...

Some random thing I found on FB was a person asking whether married couples should have unlimited access to each other's phones. The number of people saying yes, and even that if they couldn't have that access that they would leave that person, is shocking.

Are the monogs ok???

If you are pissed about this but weren’t pissed about them cutting off medical care to trans children you are on step two of the “first they came for” poem
Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants.

As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands.

The irony of a "conservative" attacking "liberals" for "living in the past". There are multiple levels, and each one demonstrates complete failure to understand the ideas behind those terms.

From a video description: "Watermark by Enya, beautifully reimagined for piano"

Watermark is a piece of piano music. It was already a piano piece. Words mean things.

Someone described Yuu from Bloom Into You as "starts off aro". (Which is a bad way to talk about aro/ace folks.) This response was both highly accurate and really funny:

"Bloom - I read her as more of a confused demi top "blooming" when she finds her power bottom. The vibes are there."

Not ok. Not in danger. Not functional.

On a lighter note,

I woke up this morning and said to Miriam:

"I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.

And by TV I mean my imagination.

And by doctor, I mean kissing pretty girls."

And I kissed her.

More kisses are available ♥️

What comes to mind when I think of the United States and the greater world right now?

One genre of music I like is what I call music that sounds like you're playing a Playstation 2 era racing game. Which is why I have a bunch of house and trance CDs that I've picked up from thrift stores.

I was trying to play The Sunlit Garden from Revolutionary Girl Utena. My cat, Purrsephone, had other plans for the keyboard just then.

Video is me sitting at a digital piano in a cluttered basement. Soon, a cat joins in.

Yes, it's true: I have a type.

Trying, for the first time, to do two very different things with my hands at the same time. Progress is slow but satisfying.

I have connections I've built with people that I spent most of my life thinking I could never have. I have reached out in ways that I never could, looking for the things that I want, and gradually I am finding them. I existed for 40+ years, but now, post-transition, I am living. Happy this morning.

I really, really hope I hear back from the state of Illinois on my birth certificate sex correction soon.

I don't like automated narration of audiobooks either and would prefer a human for numerous reasons. But it's not AI. Authors who release audiobooks with machine narration are not using AI.

Miriam said I'm developing a special interest in pianos. But I just want to tell everyone I talk to about the material and design limitations in pianos, and about how inharmonicity is related to the length and thickness of the strings and stuff like that. Who wouldn't want to know all about that?

I hate having to give my name on the phone. I hate it so much.

No puppy girl, that's not an octave. That's a major sixth. You shouldn't write about sheet music without having it in front of you.

Also, do not ask me about music theory: I barely know enough to be dangerous 😂

I like being consciously aware of specific - Skills? Microskills? Technique? The bit of The Sunlit Garden I'm working on now is helping me learn to intuit when I've got my thumb and pinky an octave apart without looking.

We just
• woke up from a PTSD nightmare
• after only 2 hours of sleep
• with bad heartburn
• a horrible cough
• hiccups worsening the cough
• our BPD flaring from a fraught interpersonal week
• this is our everyday life now
• and will continue to be, if we can’t find housing & end up homeless

HELP.

One of the important things I learned in grad school is that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.

I just tried to sit down at my digital piano and play. Purrspephone tried to be a very helpful kitty by turning on the metronome for me and switching it to sound like a pipe organ.

Finished my first playthrough of The Confines of the Crown. Bad end! Google confirms that there are good ends with at least two female characters, and one NPC has some interesting stuff going on with their sex/gender, and I didn't see any of that in my run through, so playing again should be fun!
