I have trouble with the idea that I transitioned “later in life” 😒 1. I like to imagine I have a lot of life yet ahead of me (apocalypsi notwithstanding) 2. I still feel like I’m emotionally about 23, most days (even ignoring the Pokémon of it 🫣) but—however late you think is “too late?” It’s not.
If you have transitioned later in life, please know how deeply you are needed here. Your story is the exact proof someone else needs to finally take their first step.
Proud of my eyeshadow today 😊
a fun part of transitioning that they don't tell you enough about ahead of time is that you get to PAY someone to STICK ZAPPY NEEDLES in your FACE
a kid with lesbian parents will have to call one mom "mother" and the 2nd mom "earthbound"
I would absolutely watch a film that was just Keke Palmer fucking around on a two-week cross-country motorcycle road trip to go on a first date with a woman in LA, being charismatic as hell while she makes a nuisance of herself from one coast to another.
Imogen Binnie, Nevada (2013). Part two, chapter 11
this thing except it shoots darts full of estrogen
That story, along with The Veldt, freaked me out so much as a kid in the best way. I still teach The Veldt every year to my freshmen because I love it so much. It's fun how current it still is.
Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
although frankly the covers of the novels at the Scholastic Book Fair led me to expect more of an Edvard Munch-via-Macaulay Culkin vibe to it
but even so, sometimes you’re washing up for bed and you get to look in the mirror and be like “oh shit, I’m a girl” and that feels pretty nice
😮💨 I know “I thought by the age of [age], I’d feel like I had [whatever] all figured out” is a fake idea but I really hoped that with a solid year of being an out trans woman under my belt, I’d at least feel like I had *that* figured out. 😓 Maybe I do. idk. 🤷🏻♀️ Tonight I’m not feeling like it. 😮💨
AND I PLAN TO MAKE IT EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEM!!
letting bi women be writers was clearly a mistake

“but I don’t want to go clean out the storage unit” “and putting it off further has been helping with that so so much, right?” “ugh fine”
a woman goes to an episcopal priest and says "i think i'm trans, i want to be pretty and demure and gay and i don't think it's a phase." the priest says "okay, but episcopalians don't do confession, and being gay or trans isn't a sin." she says "i know, and your priests are allowed to date right?"
We become what we must to survive. We don't really get a choice in that, but we do get to make choices about how we heal from it, and who we become once survival isn't the only concern
been having a real flare-up lately of what I jokingly-ish call “lysdexia” (because I’m not diagnosed with dyslexia, see, but gosh if I don’t experience some stuff that seems to fit) like, I’ll transpose whole words to elsewhere in sentences—which can drastically change meanings, y’know? idk why 🤷🏻♀️
Found a button-down that escaped the donation bins. Remembering convos on here about “eventually they fit different 😏🍈🍈🤭” I gave it a try, and— —nope, that’s dysphoria city, we’re not there yet. Ah well. It’ll be “eventually” eventually. 😮💨

I’m gonna be that dweeb and say it’s Take This To Your Grave (2003) From Under The Cork Tree (2005) Infinity On High (2007) that’s Fall Out Boy, if you didn’t know 😉
What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
tfw Emma Frost is an elected Democrat
The far right succeeded in this country in large part because adult men were angry about this supposed theft, and the Nazis learned to channel that rage. "[Marginalized group] stole your sex mommy!" is quite literally their rallying cry a lot of the time.
Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy. They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.
Thinking about building a transfem anthems playlist and need recs. What songs feel like your transition, your empowerment, your euphoria, whatever "anthem" means to you right now? No wrong answers, I want to hear everything 🎵
Me to everybody who says I'm insane for not enjoying MCU Spider-Man
Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.
condolences to anyone who mistakenly thought I was cool, I can only assume you’ve had terrible reading comprehension for years
My regular friendly/unfriendly reminder that emotional regulation has to be learned and practiced; it doesn’t happen “naturally” with aging or life experience. ((That’s why your parents are still Like That.))
Weird, weird dreams. Kept getting trapped in various fast food places that were out of stuff, like no soda at the fountains or whatever? Then the donut shop that had no donuts was some kind of supervillain trap that got launched into an empty prison dimension… Freud would have a field day, I’m sure
who else up late picking at emotional scabs
Doing the first half of the audiobook of @emilystjams.bsky.social’s Woodworking all over in Libby (where my hold came in), making the little bookmarks & annotations not supported by iOS’ garbage “Books” (where I bought it, bc ‘want book now’) Anyway this’s the first Abigail part that gut-punched me
