Shout out to the person from the DSA who accidentally deadnamed me in a text for a meeting. They were super good about apologizing for something that very much wasn't their fault and corrected my records locally and told me how to take care of it nationally.

I was forced to pretend I was a man, and forced to pretend I was neurotypical. I'm so glad I realized I was neither of those things. I finally have at least some idea of who I am and want to be instead of pretending I'm someone I'm not.

That goal: Build a space where myself and people like me can feel safe. Obviously I can't make that space open to everyone, but I can fight to make this world more supportive, more caring, more empathetic and more safe for us all.

I missed a concert that I knew would have cheered me up on Saturday. I really really wanted to go, and I regret not going but the stress of going was too much at the time.

The reason I was stressed and in a depressive episode was because I realized I've never lived somewhere where I felt safe or comfortable. And that night, that seemed like the furthest off thing in the world.

Now that I'm feeling better, I can strongly say I now know what my goal in life is.

The characters on the cover are Alissa a transfeminine skunk who reallyyyy has a thing for pins, and Charlie a non-binary masculine leaning deer, who is growing their first pair of antlers. The art is by Sein_Feldt on Twitter.

Things I say in postfurry spaces:

"So essentially I think I accidentally became part farm."

I used to always wish I was born a woman, but now I'm almost a little glad I was AMAB? Not because I enjoyed being a boy. I really hated it.

But because of the way that influenced my life and lead me to where I am now. I just kind of feel a euphoria at how good I feel about myself now.

I still have issues with anxiety and depression and other things, and things in life aren't always great... But I think I can now say I truly love myself and who I've become.

So my brain is essentially a commune made up of weird queer walking talking animal beings.

It's pretty great and rad, actually?

I've been in a weird mood, and I've started writing some song lyrics. I've got two in mind so far. I'm gonna call em Kill Your Rapist and Fuck My Abuser.

Those are just the named ones. I also have one about not objectifying people, and a secret song!

It's very very cathartic, and relieved so much stress for me. Plus it gives me motivation to try and pick up the guitar!

So I've been pretty busy since the last time I got on here... Holidays and then getting the flu...

But I have a girlfriend now and I wanna shout it from the rooftops! Actually two girlfriends! So shouting it from the rooftops with a megaphone! *Squeal*

I got more pins oh my gosh I love them! https://awoo.space/media/rkukJI29Ex5tsgveNHI
