Family, Suicide Mention
So one of the things that took aggro off people telling me stupid things is that one of my cousins now runs a successful food business and he owes his success to a short appearance on Parts Unknown.
And so of course people started talking about suicide and mental health and let me tell you wow they suck at being good at talking about those things.
But it is over now and also holy fuck yeah he deserves to be on Parts Unknown his food is good.
Family, Depression, Internal Screaming, Fatphobia, terrible medical advice do not use
@rey I did succeed on a saving throw for not retorting "yeah cancers even better" in front of my mother who has cancer.
Family, Depression, Internal Screaming, Fatphobia
Okay so the mental bingo card I prepared for this was way too optimistic for this shit I was just told that I should start smoking so I can lose weight.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Family, Depression, Internal Screaming
So hey I'm on a 2+ week trip to visit family and I'm not out to them and it's a week in and I'm fighting off depression with squidgirls and internet and looking at pictures of pride things I didn't get to go to.
Anyway that's why I haven't even been on here silently booping your toot snoots.
Tomorrow I wake up early fucking o'clock to see people I haven't seen for a decade (there's a reason for that) I fucking love this whole thing very much yes.
Cishet Bullshit, Gender Essentialism
My Instagram feed is now covered in gender reveal party photos from a college friend she is dead to me now.
Like, when you say "gender reveal" it's really "does it look like that our fetus has a penis from this shitty low res ultrasound image" and gender essentialism aside I'm not interested in your unborn fetus's genitals because I'm not some kind of super-pedophile tyvm.
@anthracite I know! Me too! I found out about it when it was first announced and tickets weren't on sale yet. Then basically sank into Completely Not Functioning land for a couple months and... got out the night before her concert and of course ticket sales have ended by then. :(
Body Crap, Coping Mechanisms, Food
I am definitely feeling sore when I press on my chest gently maybe this means boobs are finally growing and I'm so fucking terrified.
So very udderly terrified.
(The puns are coping mechanisms.)
Also I'm stress eating kim chi because it's the only thing in my fridge that isn't tomorrow's lunch or dinner and it burns.
Squeeing about the new Pokémon Trailer
@mawr They basically remade a game from when I was a kid so that I can now play as a girl with a fox sitting on my head also I can dress the fox up.
Guess who's gonna be getting it.
Bathrooms, Peeing
Seattle Center has a very small number of gender neutral bathrooms and I've been carrying enough around that going into a small stall was hard
And so basically whenever I had to pee at Folklife I just went into the mens room and hiked up my skirt at a urinal.
Like if you didn't want me to do that maybe you should've built some gender neutral restrooms huh?
Okay a few days ago my ex unintentionally reminded me of a Major Trans Problem: the only fiction I have ever had published was published in a collection of poetry and art created by men.
Like the title is gendered and the theme of the anthology is "stuff from men who went to small liberal arts college".
So anyway I don't know how to feel about this right now.
stack of illusions and glamours and dreams piled up on top of a fox type thing // they/them, or she/her when exactly three corvids are present
