Some trans people are men. Some are women. Some are neither.

Some trans people have known since they were kids. Some figured it out in their 80s.

Some trans people have been on hormone replacement therapy for years. Some can't get on HRT. Some don't want to be on HRT.

Some trans people try to "pass". Some don't.

Some trans people have had surgery. Some don't want surgery. Some can't get surgery.

All trans people are valid, regardless of any of the above. :trans_heart:

tumblr, serious 

the awkwardness of the phrase “female presenting nipples” is emblematic of how society’s obsession with gender binaries is _about_ enforcing the compulsory censorship of women

people all freaking out about tumblr going down the toilet and "where will people go??" and I'm like "DreamWidth... still exists, and still has all the functionality of LJ..."

Think of it, a bird flying in the sky with a balloon trailing above and behind it, the string in its beak. An image for a grey and dreary day; the bright balloon and the bird who has claimed it, soaring through the sky.

Posting this again in honor of the InSight landing today on Mars.

It is important, little robots. Thank you, and godspeed.

sick 

Man, I really hope this is one of the cool TF-y plagues that I've caught. It's gonna suck if it's just a regular ol' virus.

... Fuck, I need to take my anticistamines too...

mars, names, gender feels 

So I'd forgotten about this, but I put my name on the chip they put on InSight. My name is on Mars right now.

My wallet name. The name I don't plan on keeping.

I feel kinda weird about it. I mean, on the one hand, I exiled my birth name _to another freakin' planet_. On the other, it'll be there basically forever, a testament to a me that no longer is.

I guess I'll just have to make it over there at some point to make a correction to it.

contains one typography joke and zero apologies 

Me: "Sphinx of black quarꜩ, judge my vow!"

SoBQ: "...Jesus, that's an unnecessary ligature there, why'd you even do that? And don't get me started on what you did with these serifs, is this your first attempt making a font?"

Me: ...

Me: ...yes.

Science's Imminent Problem: Space travel might be rendered impossible in 30 years with the amount of space debris in the way of rocket paths, making flights more and more perilous.

Science's Solution?: FIRE A DAMN SUPER-POWERED ELECTROMAGNET INTO LOW EARTH ORBIT AND YEET THE SPACE DEBRIS INTO RE-ENTRY.

Science rules~.

Parents did... better... this time. The proper pronoun got used a few times. Meh. Time to sleep now and then go in to work tomorrow. A single day of hell/purgatory, followed by lots of days off. The latter will be very nice.

anxiety 

So that's day two of my anxiety levels just hitting the top of the charts in the morning and then continuing on. I really hope that doesn't continue to be a thing.

HAPPY WOLFENOOT MASTODON

May the great wolf spirit bless your queer little hearts.

@starkatt I made it all the way to Christmas Eve last year!

re: panic symptoms 

Still ongoing. This sucks. I have a loaf of bread in the bread machine though, so at least no matter what happens, that will be something I accomplish today.

I mean, as long as it comes out okay. But then at least I still made something, even if it wasn't good.

...I need to hit the store before it closes and get some things. I refuse to buy groceries and stuff tomorrow. Guess it's today.

panic symptoms 

I haven't even been awake an hour and I'm already having the largest attack of panic symptoms I've had in several months. I have no idea why, and it's strong enough that I'm having trouble even trying to keep a lid on it. o..o

A measured, well-thought out reaction to the last three days:

"Hwaugh."
