I like the space/nature photos I see here. Helps my feed actually calm me (in contrast to tw*tter which was probably physically raising my blood pressure)

Washburn guitars are so good. I got some Amazon money from a study I was in, and it was enough to get a new acoustic, and it’s SO NICE.

(And I can say something good came out of me having POTS!)

Been working on some fun stuff lately. (Based on the songs of @amandashires.bsky.social , Lilly Hiatt, and Chappell Roan.)

I really hate having to hide large parts of my personal life because I have busybody relatives who gossip and then cause problems. SIGH.

Doing a DEI training for my job (that changed title last minute but the content remained exactly the same) makes it feel like I’m doing something kind of subversive and ✨naughty✨ which is…sigh 😩

I think I’ve developed an allergy to the carrier oil in my testosterone and I’m ANNOYED. there’s another cheap injectable formulation in sesame oil, but I’m nervous about that because my cousin has a sesame allergy.

Deadass, AS A JEW, I think left-wing antisemitism is fucking rancid and awful but I don’t care about it as much as *gestures vaguely at the entire mess of right wing bigotry*.

I swear to GOD if y’all turn this into cursed discourse land a la Twitter

Put that thing back where it came from or SO HELP ME

“Hurr durr move back to Canada” how about no? Anywhere I can afford to live is going to be more hostile than cities…in MINNESOTA…and I don’t see any of you lining up to be my sugar daddy/mama/parent.

Y’all don’t be like me and let people scare you into the closet so badly you spend a decade and a half convincing YOURSELF you’re cis…because I missed the boat on changing my gender marker. Like possibly forever.

Chat should I try out they/he pronouns after telling everyone I’m they/them? #transgender

Anyone else #trans with massive imposter syndrome? Like I know the nonbinary transmasculine label is probably a good fit, that being on testosterone has been great and I want top surgery…but I really don’t have a good answer as to why my egg didn’t crack until age 32. I had so many trans friends!

Yes, but also assuming someone has a yacht based on a wild assumption from one piece of their lives is some goofy bullshit. Just don’t.
I love this.

Well frick. I’ve been on testosterone for less than two months and turns out I REALLY like it. Turns out I did not have cripplingly low self esteem after all! That was just the dysphoria!

If I get yanked off of it because of the 🍊 🤡, I will lose my damn mind. I’m probably fine in Minnesota, but 🫠

I am proof being trans is not a choice, because why in the Kentucky fried FUCK would I choose to have my egg crack in the year of someone else’s lord 2024?

God grant me the serenity to not send someone I’m annoyed with a sarcastic clown emoji today 🤡

I’m about to have a whole meltdown today. Nothing terribly significant, even. But if it’s not one thing it’s another.

as a voter i’d actually love some common sense on transgender issues actually. nationalized healthcare, leaving us alone otherwise, things of this nature.

A bunch of my Nashville songwritery music friends are all clearly neurodivergent like me, so um….could we turn this into a songwriter retreat? I mean a bunch of us (🙋🏻) will be a hot mess without our meds but um, making lemonade out of lemons am I right? *nervous laughter*

Not gonna lie this is how I conquered a bunch of my medical trauma

Y’all I’m homesick as hell for Nashville but every day I become increasingly grateful I left Tennessee. This is like two counties over. And we got priced out of most of Nashville proper so…SIGH. I miss a bunch of you terribly but turns out I have a sense of self-preservation.

“Trans people who aren’t stealth make being trans their whole personality.” My brother in Trans Jewish Christ, I named myself after a 90s country band. That wasn’t the only reason I chose the name I did, but it was a factor. I picked a personality when I was 6 years old and I stuck with it!
