Friendship question 

I have a friend I've known for about 13 years. She's very hit or miss as a friend; I won't hear from her from six months, but she'll be there for me in an emotional crisis.

When we're hanging out she's attentive and kind to me, but then I won't hear from her for weeks. She isn't reliable and it's becoming a problem. I want to stay friends, but I can't help but feel like I put a lot more energy into this friendship than I get back from it.

What would you recommend I do?

Lightly transphobic experience 

I had to explain to my brother tonight what a "trans guy" was. He didn't seem to understand how someone could be transgender and also a guy. He got it eventually, but... Please tell me all cis people don't think like this. ><

I technically graduated six months ago, but it feels so much more real after the ceremony.

Toot if you love and support trans lesbians

Applied glow paint to graduation cap. Not sure if I like it yet but I'll be able to tell better after it dries.

Meanwhile, my spell scarfy is coming along nicely. :3 awoo.space/media/9QZ57wl-PB3ii

When I have money, I really want to commission someone to draw me as an orc.

Orc...sona? :DD

Personal aesthetic: Soft boi orc librarian, sipping tea and knitting up some pattern magick

Spent my day so far knitting and drinking tea, like a badass binch. 🦉

Finally ordered my sleeveless gray denim vest. As soon as it ships, it's Lumberjanes patch timeeeee~!

Trauma-related book recommendation 

Here's an excellent excerpt from the book:

It's called "Trauma​ Is Really Strange" by Steve Haines, art by Sophie Standing

Abstract trauma mention 

This (graphic novel style) book is a clear, factual, and frankly amazing explanation of the trauma. It discusses the complex & varied ways it can be caused, its effects, and most importantly (imo) how to recover. I super recommend it. awoo.space/media/k2tQNgzA7VnYa

Fatt update: I'm almost done with all the hieron content. Is it time to finally start COUNTER/weight??

Wow I'm really good at recognizing faces! Saw a white girl with dreads in the #001 Info Chammel video who I recognized from high school; looked up her facebook and it's definitely the same damn girl. She didn't have dreads in high school, but she does now. And I totally thought they were just a bad wig in the video. Whoops.

at nighttime I like to watch food and eat TV in bed.
