I think back to my elder queer professors and how they're the last of their kind. How they had to watch all of their friends and loved ones die around them, and that the harrowing reality of their extinction is something few people even know happened. I want to make sure none of us are forgotten

My brain wants to say it feels like we're going back to the 80s in terms of how us queers have to live but really for most of us that scrappiness never left, it's just that less of us are dying of aids now

I respect therians a lot and I'm glad for them finding an identity that makes them happy. At the same time, I am not one. I am painfully, irrevocably human, and the human condition is embedded deep in my Self. Please do not assume I am anything more or less.

I hate money. I know it's basically "safety points" in society, the more you have the safer you are from consequences. But it scares the shit out of me and always has. I don't like having it, I don't like earning it, and I don't like spending it. Why can something totally made up make me so scared?

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

Previewing the batch steps for thr girls. Got there, a. It fried from being sprayed over but I feel like if I were to strip them first itd be the same results. Much more enjoyable to paint and a very striking style for them. Loads of fun and excited for the next batch.
