On the inverse, my brother has had signs of his cancer coming back. He's already begun motions to combat it, and I can help.
Thankfully, I know what to deal with- a battery of tests, a 5 business-day wait, then a blood transfusion. So it's tentatively one, two weekends in November.
That should help. If it doesn't, they will likely try treatments with my sister.
So, uh, y'know, that plus The Orthocosm in general.
Also work hours back to 6am-2pm yaay. 8|

life's kind of a mess it seems? ahahaha
so, it seems like a formal thing now but i got an Actual Offer to be a Real Employee Thing at the job i'm currently at. I stop being a permatemp at the start of the month.
I was kind of expecting to have to intensely validate my case and existence, so, it feels kind of...weird to just have it...offered. Anticlimax. But it's done. 💜

hey so I haven't really posted anything about Burning Man
but i found this cute picture of me playing drum out in the desert so ✨ take that for right now
Hey, you.
I hope your day treats you alright.
You deserve a hug, some pettings, warmth and squeezes.
Niceness. You deserve niceness.
And if your day's not that great?
Then I hope it gets better.
Contender for best burning man camp name encountered:
Camp Salute Your Jorts
however ellu also need to Sleep Better and that involves Regular Fucking Bedtimes (even though now I get up a little later!)
so
as always
May you dream of wonders. 💜
(the mental image here is of an Ellu popping out of the water, flopping onto a boat, saying the last few toots, and then diving back in.
i am also /incredibly/ silly.)
Oh, hello there extra friends who follow and say hello-make!
It is good to see you. I hope you all are well!
Or at least as well as you can be.
This space will be full of stuff more often in a week or two from now. Please forgive the sudden roving storm of chaos! n.n
burner prep, ellu use this site more
Past Ellu got more than enough jellyfish lantern-parts that i still have some more i can make for this year. The lights still work and everything!
yessssss. :DDD

Gender transition (chest reconstruction) - info request, plz boost
I just had a consult with a top surgery doctor today! I am really excited but also somewhat anxious about the options. I'm in the fun grey area where I can go with double-incision or inverted-t procedures.
Because of my unique gender situation, I don't know many folks who've had top surgery procedures, or where to find them. I'd love to talk to folks who've had both of the above, especially inverted-T, to help me decide.
Thanks!
i hope that you can find cause for happiness, today.
something. even the smallest of things.
i don't want any you to hurt, but...right now it feels like 'hurt less' is the best i can hope for.
i wish i could do more.
i love you.

playa prep saga: now with tent
I got a new tent as a belated birthday present!
and it is the Most Me Thing possible, eeeyay. :DDD
(this isn't even at full-bore sunlight, more like 'partly cloudy'.)
music/video, pop culture awesome, pfaf +++
Like, in case it wasn't obvious, yo, it basically me and all my friends?! Like, basically this is our aesthetic wheelhouse. We're /in/, folks.
And that just makes me gush so hard. it's so good. <3
music/video, pop culture awesome, pfaf +++
So Janelle Monáe, pop musician, pretty damn mainstream (like Rolling Stone magazine cover mainstream) released an album called Dirty Computer today
and with it made an 'emotion picture'- a collection of music videos to go with the album
about a pan triad of queer PoC trying to resist a dystopian regime's attempts to reprogram-mindcontrol
IN CASE IT WASNT OBVIOUS ITS QUEER AS HELL AND ABSOLUTE JOY

I don't know what all is going on right now. I know some things, but I'm not connected to any of the offline happenings, so all I know is what I see...
but a lot of my friends seem to really need a hug and to be held for a while and to just cry...
I'm very sorry that you're in pain right now, and that you feel isolated and alone. I'm sorry that your depression is winning. I'm sorry that your heart is aching. I'm sorry that I can't do more than post words on a screen, and that I can't physically hold you (if wanted or appropriate).
You are still important and worthy of love.
The world is full of some very nasty people, and some good folks but they aren't the issue, right now.
I'm sorry you are hurting.
LB: soft encouraging noises for you all. 💜
It's a bit grey and chilly today.
But we can still find ways to make color inside, so it doesn't have to be /all/ grey, ya?
I hope that wherever you are,
and whatever may happen,
that today treats you with kindness and love. 💜
Trans Day of Visibility (+++)
I just wanted to say, to all of my friends who have found a shape that fits them better, no matter what that may be:
I see you, and I am so overjoyed to see you. You're all so wonderful, and I hope to continue to support you on your voyage.
I love you all so much. 💜
