That was in the garbage, Luci.

Tall. Clocky. Idiot.

Most of the time in public I’m nervous and skittish that I’m a monster or even just an imposition. And then other times I remember I’m 6’7” and that I can deadlift German my 270 lb husband and that if things got spicy I can probably take care of myself. There is no in between in these feelings.

I grew up focus on the family. My dad voted for Trump but isn’t hardcore maga. Coming out as bi at 20 was tough, coming out as trans at 38 was much harder. I have done hard ass work, harder than they have, to mend things. But nearly 3 years into transition I talk to them everyday and they love me.

What I tell my child is that I will love and support them without question every day of their life. Life will be hard, no one is exempt from struggle. But, it will not be miserable. They will forever have a mother's love that they can count on. Why would you want to be the villain to your child?

Mine was that there was a baseball in our garage and I wanted to know if I threw it down the street if anyone would notice. I have been haunted for over 35 years with this memory of casual evil. I sometimes have intense nightmares about the ball sleeping cold and alone in an alley somewhere.

please delight me with your most on-brand story from your childhood mine is that I quit Cubs after two weeks because it clashed with Coronation Street

I think it likely, if I'd lived long ago where being trans was just straight up not an option, I would've been a very faggy monk. Just reading books and making candles and doodling two rabbits going at in in the marginalia. Hey guys the beer I made is nice and it's one of god's food cheat days!

Hate how a reminder of a person not being in your life anymore can just come out of nowhere and shadow uppercut you. “Hi remember me? I threw you away because I found the pain you’re in alienating. Know you were having a good day, so I shit in your cereal and poured sugar in your gas tank. Byeee”

The classic piss dribble of fascism leaking out of his mouth: “*They* don’t produce culture” Like listen here before you emulsion blend your voicebox any further you rusty fart, the only ideology incapable of creating art is fascism Art requires asking questions. Hard when you “have every answer”

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
