I saw Othello tonight & it made me cry. But also everything makes me cry. Happy Tuesday.

The second gender is a make one that shifts in expression from clean-shaven athletic to emo to flower crown prince, depending on the day.
The last ID could be considered "fem" (not "femme" tho since that's a lesbian ID), but still make, and layered on top of my non-binary gender absolutely not "femme".
So it's just so weird that someone I hardly know would call me "extremely femme".
The way I look at it, I've got 2 gender identities that sit on top of each other.
The main ID is a soft, gentle, "purple" androgynous non-binary. It's always there, very genderqueer, but gets read as feminine because I'm afab and haven't medically transitioned.
So someone described me as "extremely femme" the other day, and I'm trying to work out a) why they would say that and b) why it doesn't sit right with me
Friend advice?
One of my good friends is going through a really hard time. I like spending time with her, but her personality is a little strong & I often find myself exhausted after hanging out.
I also find myself agreeing to spend time with her when I don't really want to, because I'm afraid of upsetting her.
I honestly don't know what to do. I think I need to simply hang out with her less, but I know she needs support. Any advice?
Lukewarm take: I like Solange's music a whole lot better than Beyonce's.

if you're in NYC, please consider attending the final performance event for my NYU class on making computer-generated poetry. friday may 4th, 7:30pm-9pm at 721 Broadway in Manhattan https://gist.github.com/aparrish/292279e3d2d141b141fd3e9e9bd1b20f (also here's a fb event link if that's easier for you https://www.facebook.com/events/324251648103831/)
I'm really overwhelmed with the quality of the student work this year—if you're into poetry and/or computation you should definitely be there.
If you haven't watched Dirty Computer yet go do yourself a favor.

In defense of “participation trophies”:
I would honestly rather live in a society that rewards people for trying and showing up than one that suggests that things are only worth doing if you might be the best.
