Tfw you can only relax once you've got on your sound-cancelling headphones.

So the way being a classified staff hire in the school district works is that we get paid for 10/12 months of the school year. Which means we have to find extra work for 2 months of the year, which is HARD because people don't want to hire you on short term.

Anyway, this year it changes from 10/12 to 11/12, which is really good. Basically I only need to panic for the month of August.

And good news! I have $600/$800 of my rent saved up for August already. So I think I'll be okay.

Okay, this was a fun way to see who of my friends were still actively using mastodon (or on today, anyway). Hi friends!

Also, hi new folks!

Keep being gay (and doing crimes) :D

A reminder

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

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.
