I binge watched all of Arcane this weekend, and it's going to take me a while to emotionally recover

Last night I had a dream about living alone in an apartment again, and for the first time since my wife and I split last year it wasn't a nightmare. I was even kind of excited.

I think my goal for 2025 will be to get my own place. The space from her will be good for me.

Long day slogging through the snow. Finally able to lay down and relax ☺️ Just need to figure out dinner now...

I should make more of an effort to use this, since the other place is just terrible these days..

Happy very snowy Wednesday!

Dealing With It
Comic, 5 Panels. Panel 1: boy holding a toy, deep in thought. Caption: I was a perceptive kid. I was pretty young when I picked up on the (terrible) idea that men weren’t supposed to be emotional. Words outline the boy's thoughts "Me = Boy, Boy + Time = Man, Man = Don’t Cry, therefore, Me = Don’t Cry" P2: boy looks to the doorway, frightened by shouting in another room. Caption: I also picked up on what happened in our household if I didn’t meet that expectation. P3: Robin, the boy, older and transitioned to female, says "So, if something was too difficult for me to just deal with, a lot of the time I would kind of… ignore it." P4: Robin sits by a mirror. Her teenage self is getting dressed and looks uncomfortably at his hairy, male physique. Robin says "Like, say-, a deep, growing unease with my body and identity that came on so slowly and quietly that it’s only in retrospect that I can chart the crash of my self-worth during my teen years." P5: Robin says "You know. The usual." Comic, 6 panels Panel 6: Teenage Robin puts on a shirt, while Present Robin continues: "I didn’t fully know what I was feeling, but I sure knew I wasn’t supposed to be feeling it." Panel 7: Teenage Robin smiles into the mirror, while Present Robin explains: "The answer was simple: “Actually, I don’t feel this!" Panel 8: Close on Present Robin, who looks dead-eyed and remarks sarcastically "Truly a flawless approach." Panel 9: Present Robin looks sadly downward and says "But honestly? I think I needed it." Panel 10: Teenage Robin is walking out of the room, grabbing the door handle as he leaves. Present Robin starts standing, as she says, "Don’t get me wrong, I shouldn’t have had to go through it. But, realistically-" Panel 11: Present Robin looks toward the door, holding one of her shoulders. The door closes with a "click" as Robin speaks, "When I was growing up- where I grew up- I think knowing what was wrong, and being unable to do anything about it, might have been worse." Comic, 6 panels Panel 12: Robin, arms crossed, speaks to the reader, "Thinking on my past, there’s a lot of “what ifs” And I can be pretty harsh on my younger self." Panel 13: Robin gestures to a young version of herself, speaking to other kids with a shitty grin on his face. Present Robin says "Some of it’s deserved. I was kind of a little shit." Panel 14: Robin is now next to another young version of herself, somewhere in her twenties. He looks troubled, staring down, a hand rubbing his neck as he sits in thought. Robin looks down at him, sadly and says "But I also think I can be a little too hard on him." Panel 15: Present Robin looks up and starts to speak, "He-" Panel 16: Robin stops speaking, and closes her eyes. Panel 17: Present Robin looks back toward her younger self, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder as she says "She was doing her best."

I really ought to use this app more, give it a proper chance. To that end I'll share some recent news.

I came out to my Mom a little over a month ago. It went very well. She's asking me what clothes I have and like, offering me hand-me-downs (lol) and asking me what she can do to support me 🩷

I just got here and am looking around. Need to build a good list of people to follow.

Pretty much anyone who's LGBTQ+ gets an autofollow from me, they just tend to be awesome people for some reason 🤷‍♀️😉🏳️‍🌈
