Including my new favorite question, "HOW do you EXPECT me to keep up with all these new 'accepted' words?" well if you read the glossary in the back of the pamphlet that you just got rid it would have outlined what we're talking about in great detail

*Gives cis family a PFLAG pamphlet when I come out*
Cis family: Oh I don't need this! I'm fully supportive and I know the basics of this stuff already!
Me: *spends the next year correcting basic-ass bullshit misconceptions and getting into the same arguments every fucking week*

I went to the prothonotary's office today and submitted my legal name change petition and I think it might've gone okay?

Did I need to buy another mood ring at a witch shop today? I almost certainly didn't.

Did I buy another mood ring at a witch shop today? I almost certainly did.

No lie I just spent the last week and a half freaking out of my mind and frequently crying over my estrogen prescription and I finally think it's okay, *for the moment*

I just made an appointment to talk to the HR director tomorrow and when I told her what it's about so she knows it's not a horrible coworker problem or whatever I said "it's a name-change issue but a little more complicated" and I think that's an okay description of transitioning

Fully automated luxury gay space and giant monster communism

What if every ghost might be the devil in disguise? That's the premise of my new play: HAMLET

It's raining harder and more consistently than yesterday, so this seems like a good day to go to the pride parade, yeah?

I am about to have estrogen pumped into me, happy birthday to us all

Also there might be some kind of con in Philly today? When I came in on the train I was surrounded by what I would describe as more cosplayers than average

So I'm in the city for my 6 month HRT checkup today and I don't care how much it rains. ... This was an outright lie please don't rain very much and if it could get a little bit warmer please out there thank you

The earth is achingly, unbearably beautiful, and even a momentary reminder of a world without suffering is enough to make me almost break down crying

So last night for no real discernible reason my body just gave itself over to incredible, intense full-body sobbing. I cried so hard I almost vomited.
This is just something that happens, it's just something I do now.
Weep and weep and weep

@frostotron
Yeah it turns out that's basically what that is, isn't it? It's not great!

The entire premise of Infinity War is stupid and makes no sense whatsoever, also I cried five times.

None of those times was on behalf of Thanos though, he is unsympathetic garbage. I think we can all agree from the get-go he's no Killmonger, is all I'm saying.

Happy May Day! Fuck capitalism! 🌈

What are you doing today Emily?

Oh, nothing, just going through all my books to black out and replace old bookplates that used to have my deadname

I went to one of the professors in my department today to ask if we could talk so I could come out, and I saw he had a copy of George by Alex Gino on his bookshelf, so basically in summary it went really well.

I started coming out to a few folks at work to find support and figure out how transition could go here, and since then I'm sort of working my way down the hall and grabbing folks when they're available? I dunno, it isn't very efficient, but it's personal and kind of reassuring?
