My mom just said "I think we should profile white men". GUYS EVEN MY MOM UNDERSTANDS.

@confusedcharlot

Pretty much! :P (& <3 thank you!)

@cute_weeds

I think it's more likely he just has a poor vocabulary and limited understanding about the politics of hairstyle and identity. He has come around in a lot of ways over this past decade. It's just irritating that it's taking him so long.

Hahaha, that's absolutely true and I like it a lot.

@mxsparks

Eek, that's a Big Thing. I wish you all of the luck, resilience, and warmth to get through that interaction.

I'm in a weird place where I'm more "out" with some of my extended family than my immediate. My parents think I'm a lesbian, but a few cousins and my gay uncle know I'm nonbinary.

@cute_weeds

but does *he* know he did?

p.s. I love your handle :ok_hand_hmn_b1:​

@mxsparks

It's just like *big eyeroll*. We've been having this discussion for, like, eight years. They're mostly supportive, just still so weirdly uncomfortable with my queerness.

@Nentuaby@octodon.social Yuppppp

Getting the "oh why don't you just grow out your hairrrr?" talk from my family again.

Me: "Queer visibility is important."

Dad: "Do you have to be... *so*... visible?"

@ThatDamnCat

Thanks, Mel. <3 That's definitely where I'm at.

I do like my current job and I don't think I'll hate the one I'm going for, but I do feel very inexperienced and worried about how I'll do. It's entry level though, so on some level it's okay to be inexperienced.

Thank you though, this was nice to read. I spent the last 3 hours in bed just feeling anxious and trying to comfort myself. I feel better now, but I don't want to have to do that everyday.

Still going for that second job in Behavior Therapy, despite self doubts.

Employers want to talk to me and that's good but also terrifying. My self-evaluation of how well I can do at the job seems totally mood-dependent.

Sometimes I'm "Yeeeah bring it on!!" and other times (like now) I want to cocoon up in some blankets and hide.

Play this game by @ldurrant@mastodon.art​! IT'S HECKING AMAZING.

@raccoon you're a bad cat man

Oh and afford insulin.

Tho in my dreamscape we have universal healthcare and I don't have to decide between rent and medicine.

I really just want enough disposable income that I can afford to rent a place, buy food, take classes for fun, and give money to all of the wonderful creative people I've met on this website (and those who are in need, whether or not they consider themselves creative).

@ldurrant@mastodon.art

I'll letcha know if anything comes up. Thanks for making it!

@ldurrant@mastodon.art

Your game looks absolutely beautiful. I just purchased and downloaded it. <3

It's cold and overcast, and I'm drinking a cup of coffee while watching Night Mind videos.

At some point I should probably get up, jog, shower, and be productive, but right now this is nice.

@bunnylyn

buh-buh-b-bun!

@plsburydoughboy

We've had women the whole time, pal.

(Not me, I'm an enby. But there have definitely been girls on this site for a long time)

Ya ever just walk around on yer tippy toes for a while so you can feel taller?
