Remember:
You are the only one in the world like you. You are important -- you matter -- just by virtue of bearing that unique vision into the universe.

I'm glad you're here. I hope you stay with us as long as you can.

The world can a scary place, full of loudness and anger, but it can be beautiful, and it's moreso because you're part of it.

Be good to yourself, please. There's nobody in the world who can replace you, and you have so much light to share just by virtue of being you.

Sorry for being so quiet here frens ♥️

My sister Bird is here and I've been running all over the place non-stop since she arrived on Wednesday ^^;

Daily Tarot 

While shuffling my deck, two cards fell out.

First: The Magician, again.
I am in control of my will. I can direct my energy to affect positive change.

Second: The V of Wands.
I cannot imagine a more apt card for the situation at hand.

I think the cards are firmly encouraging me to take a firm stand here. If there were any question about whether or not The Golden Thread deck and I were getting along well... this evidence should make that clear. XD

Family Transphobia [3/3] 

I realized that I've never had a relationship with her that wasn't carefully guarded and exclusively on her terms. I would only be allowed to have a relationship with her so long as it didn't make the people around her uncomfortable.

Fuck. That.

I'm not going to take these insults quietly and just fade out of her life at the cost of my happiness just so she doesn't have to face the guilt of being a bigot.

That ends tonight.

Wish me luck.

Family Transphobia [2/3] 

She hasn't told me this herself yet. I took the bull by the horns and reached out directly. I have a call scheduled with her tonight.

In that call, I intend to point out that she is either a coward for not confronting her son's bigotry, or is herself a bigot and too "polite" to be honest about it.

I expected more from her. She's a lesbian; the only out gay person on my side of the family. She fought for me when I was younger, but she clearly never respected me.

Family Transphobia [1/3] 

I found out from my little sister yesterday that my sister in Minneapolis is getting married in a 2 months... and I'm not invited.

The reason appears to be her son (my nephew), who, upon hearing about my transition 12 years ago, told her that he never wanted to see or speak to me again. She asked that I respect his wishes and is now choosing not to invite me as a result of them.

Gender is a public menace and should be locked up for inciting hate crimes. >:|

I'm finally starting to acclimatize to Seattle weather. It's like 66ºF (18ºC) outside and I'm wearing a long sleeve blouse and sitting in the shade and not freezing???

...Might be the weight I've gained >..>;

Hey is there anyone in the Seattle area who wants to go down to see the Eclipse?

I'm thinking of trying to drive it, and figured the more we group together, the less cars will be on the road, right?

I've got 3 empty seats in my car.

a garage is full of weirdos ranging from 11 to sixty-some years old standing around listening intently as another of the weirdos explains how the new floppy drive in his hand manages to fit over a megabyte on each disk. he cites sector layout diagrams, points out some of the bits of engineering he appreciates the most, and then connects it to an open box of computer parts on the table and flips a large red switch. a cheer erupts as the drive shows signs of life before the CRT has even warmed up.

tarot card of the day 

9 of cups.

I take so many of the comforts in my life for granted, and today I want to at the very least acknowledge that.

politics, nazis, bemused 

There's a really small part of me that would be happy to see the anti-protest laws put into place in all the red states, so when the anarcho-socialist revolution comes, the police are required to beat back the protesting fascists by their own stupid laws.

I know that's bad, but It's something of a silver lining at least. X3

"It's a beautiful day in Seattle," they said while staring out the window from the living room where they've been drinking mimosas and playing Splat2n.

@mawr I think the better question is why random bystanders keep vanishing and being replaced with 1:1 replica plushies

Friend: If there was a mawr exhibit at the zoo, what would they feed them?

Mawr: Sushi, probably :9

Mawr: And tater tots
