This is basically just my transition diary. 🤷🏻♀️ Feel free to read along, if you’re chill! But my posts are about me, not you. 😉💖 Write your own—and start HRT already 🫂😜
There is still time. The time will pass either way.

🤨 idk… a smell of brewing coffee is more likely to be subtle than enigmatic. A gigantic spray-painted mural of unknown symbols may be enigmatic, but it isn’t subtle

(it is a social group thing—but *you are a member of the group,* babe 💖 you don’t have to know the whole context [there really isn’t any, but I’ll DM you] you just have to play along 😉)

ok so Chi is a social butterfly—but not a flighty, random one; a proactive, purposeful one. She is like unto the cryptid known as “mothman,” but pretty (and eschewing of subtlety 😉).
“mothman but butterfly” didn’t produce a lot of useful image search results for me, but it did bring me this:

the quote was “She’s like a social butterfly, except if butterflies carried off their prey like raptors 🦅😉” and I sincerely apologize… for using the word “like” twice in the same sentence 😝

dang that is extremely relatable. 😔 trying to remind myself it’s ok to strike a balance between days of attacking my problems and days of regrouping. Rest is productive too, and all that. But damn relatable.

And 2004 was actually pretty shitty too. Still in the depths of the Dubya-era “Murrica!” bullshit… I could make it work, but oof.

Yes. But if I can do laundry in the downs, it makes the ups more fun when they come back around. Playing Nintendo… let alone doomscrolling… not so much 😓
(I’m being good! I’m doing laundry and dishes and stuff. It’s mostly procrasti-cleaning, but that’s better than many options 🤷🏻♀️)

1994? Ugh! You couldn’t make me be 9 years old again for love or money (even “if I knew then what I know now”—how would I *get* the HRT meds?)
Now, 2004, *that* was the pinnacle of Western civilization. The fact that it’s the year when I, personally, was 19 years old, is a mere coincidence 😉

Turns out it’s @kaine.senate.gov I’ll be primary-ing. Damn. I called Kaine’s Fredericksburg office ((540) 369-7667) to register disappointment. Figured, spread the voicemail love vs Kaine’s DC office ((202) 224-4024)
Thinking up more slogans. “Kaine: Loser in 2016, Loser in 2026” seems harsh, but 🤷🏻♀️
