40, she/her. 🏳️‍⚧️💊24-12-06; 🏳️‍⚧️💉25-06-24

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 😉)
November 11, 2025 at 2:22 AM
girl that’s a *very* different thing than subtle

Between the two enigmatic is preferable, IMO!
November 11, 2025 at 2:20 AM
oh I stand corrected, clearly 😜

Asha, I was trying to come up with your metaphor-animal/cryptid-sona, and I stopped looking when I found this

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:
November 11, 2025 at 2:13 AM
chi is a social butterfly the same way the MOTHMAN is a moth

…wtf did my phone autocorrect that to all caps

hey, tomorrow is tomorrow’s problem. All you have to do today is just get through today. 💖
November 11, 2025 at 1:57 AM
focusing on happier days to come sounds like a good move 💖 hang in there girl, things will look brighter in the morning
November 11, 2025 at 1:53 AM
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 😝

Progress doesn’t have to mean perfect 🫂 and two things can be true 😉
November 10, 2025 at 11:13 PM
it’s not just for the obvious name reason, I swear
November 10, 2025 at 11:00 PM
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.
November 10, 2025 at 10:50 PM
…is that not the goal?
November 10, 2025 at 10:48 PM
And 2004 was actually pretty shitty too. Still in the depths of the Dubya-era “Murrica!” bullshit… I could make it work, but oof.
November 10, 2025 at 5:34 PM
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 🤷🏻‍♀️
November 10, 2025 at 2:42 PM
same tbh but if I get the light torture either way I figure I want a mic to scream into about it
November 10, 2025 at 1:13 AM
alright, this is getting outta hand. locking my BlueSky app away till tomorrow.

I am available for incisive political commentary-slash-Pokémon jokes from 5-11 PM on weekdays, leave job offers in the DMs ✌️🫥
November 10, 2025 at 1:12 AM
fuck. Well, you primary him and I’ll take Warner, or would you rather swap?
