Okay. That went slightly better than expected. Showed up an hour early and everything was finished with only the hassle of going through a Federal security checkpoint and dealing with 2 very helpful State Department employees. It also helped that I was actually prepared for my appointment.

Still sucks that I had to do all this for a work deadline. But I should be all set now.

"Should." I still hate that word.

HRT +++ 

Was shaving in the mirror, and, jsut for a second, I saw a gurl looking back. She disappeared quickly, but I could catch glimpses from the corner of my eye.

Nice thing to see 2 days before Uptime Day.

Dinner helped. So did getting some words to listen to that I needed to hear. And then doing some fite. I'm getting better tonight. I'll be better tomorrow.

@Motodrachen Naw. I don't think this is Burnout. I'm just...not dealing with adulting too good right now. Or last week. Or last month.

Burnout is for people who actually have real problems. I ain't got time for Burnout.

"If I can just get through this week, things will be okay."

I say that every week. Maybe things just aren't okay?

@fluxom_alt if consent is given after being directly asked, I don't think there would be a problem. But I don't have feathers, even on my my flight-specific platforms, so I'm not the best person to answer.

I am not career ambitious. This is a problem because I don't really feel a drive to push for improving my job. I just want to make enough to leave some money left over after bills and housing to buy neat stuff without worry, doing a job that doesn't destroy my motivation every other day.

@zebratron2084 Naw, staying local for this. Just really need to blow off some steam and frustration. And breaking up the big ones makes it easier for my resource harvesters to go to work.

BBL. Gotta destroy some more asteroids. Please ignore any large flashes or explosions within 1 AU of system primary.

@Motodrachen Having to describe your desires by what you /don't/ want is also valid.

@mawr No internet, no file sharing. no file sharing, no Hotline. no Hotline, No classic mac shack. No CMS, no huskybot and mawrplushes being the best team.

Today has not gone well.

Things I wish people would tell me:

It's okay to be queer and not be some counter-cultural revolutionary. It doesn't invalidate you or make you any less of who you are, and it doesn't mean you don't belong. It's okay to just be who you are - and if that means just living your life and trying to find peace, that's perfectly acceptable.

re: No eye-contact selfie, trying out my first swimsuit 

@Alistor Having shorts made me feel a lot better in my first swimsuit too! Yours looks like it's fitting better than mine did! Having to do trial and error fitting sucks!

My Trans Experience, CW: coming out, family 

Missed my gay cousin’s birthday yesterday. So I sent him a text today.

And then my bravery core overloaded hard enough to override my fingers. And I justified the warnings in the logs by thinking “of all the people you’re related to, He’s probably the safest”. So I hit send on the second message.

His response? “Cool. I’m starting a Pride clinic in Cleveland”

He’s always gotta try and 1-up me. <^_^>

This might go better than I’ve been fearing.
