Complicated Age: Passion, hobbies, and aging through the lens of Complex Age
Our relationships to our hobbies change with age--but that doesn't mean you get too old for the things you love

Decided to spontaneously ponder what it means to have passion as a suicide survivor who’s really relearning who they are ahead of their unexpected 33rd birthday.
As always, I hope this perspective piece resonates with folks who are similarly finding themselves.

Meds drained my wallet and I didn’t even get all of them, so kind support once more is welcome
Tipping and supporting me allows me to not only have support while I work with the state to get health care but also means I can continue to care for mixed as a disabled trans person. That includes being able to set aside time to write queer and trans articles.

Had a dream (mild nightmare) that I kept getting told to smile more at work and I think that might be a sign that I’m a bit exhausted/starting to feel autistic burnout; even though there’s chores to do, today just simply be dedicated to sitting on the couch and letting myself fully unmask

Trying to try get my next batch of meds which is going to be about $750 with GoodRx ($1800 about it) and is one of my “keeps my condition stable” meds. I don’t anticipate I’ll be able to get it, but I’d like to get the other $100, which include my “keeps me alive” medication

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Gonna be real: I have a critical medication that, with GoodRx, is going to be $700 and I have $50 in my account after pay day. I’m in real need of help to afford any of my meds.

Trans Awareness Week ends on Wednesday, and I’m one of many people who could use support to continue accessing the care they need. Consider supporting me, or the many trans cultural curators you follow, so that we can keep existing as who we are

I think my end of the year reflection piece is going to use My Broken Mariko which means reading it at least twice because I’ll cry my way through the first initial reread
Also: still writing an article about fantasy slavery as well before the end of 2025. And like two other articles

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Three days. Two nights. That's how much time Kino and Hermes allot to each new place they visit before drifting off again, crossing a mysterious land filled with mystical sights and strange customs...
