surprise holiday company, stress
Aaaagh I'm being misgendered and cross-examined by some random baby boomer couple my parents know in their new neighborhood. They didn't bother to tell me there'd be company over. I have no idea who these people are or if they're going to okay with anything about me.
@starkatt So does the Little Drummer Boy game end tonight or tomorrow night? When can I hear it and not lose?

"How about the five-point plushifying nerf dart strike?"

Music, Solstice
Also, have a sample of some of the traditional music of the season from my childhood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez9fWw-GZbo
Happy Solstice, all y'all! This is the turning point, the shortest day and the longest night. There's nowhere to go from here but longer days and more sunlight. It'll take three months from now for things to even out again... but today, things get started moving that direction.
I can't queue things up on Mastodon like I can the other place, so posting this a little earlier here, instead of at the moment of celestial positioning as usual. n..n;
So I can't figure out if this is part of my own partial faceblindness or if it's a thing other people have - do you ever find that there are a whole lot of flat, cold, challenging stares in ads with male models?
Like, they're even attractive people, they just seem to have been instructed to go past "eye contact" and "brooding stare", and verge towards "I am going to axe-murder you"
Transition thoughts
You ever have that thing where you want to send a message back in time to yourself?
Whenever I get that thought coming up now (besides the obvious warnings for myself about people not to trust), I... have the hardest time figuring out what I'd say to my past self about gender stuff. I know what I'm doing right now, even if I don't know where I'm going. I mean, as much as it would have been amazing to have started transition earlier, I'm not sure I really could have?
Rare coastal dragoness, often found by sunny sea cliffs. Nonbinary but fairly femme-leaning. If you're under 18 don't follow.
