in honor of #nationalcomingoutday, some select reactions to my coming outs over the years: 1. “you’ve never told me!” i’m telling you now? 2. “will you have the same email?” great question although very dry. no 3. “so will you go to heaven?” usually other people evaluate that for me but hey! sure!

watching a review of the Love Hypothesis movie and in my opinion the love interest having longer hair is very important :/ also of course mandatory acknowledgment that it’s a silly book blah blah

it’s emo fall forever 🖤🧡, and my friend and i went on a walk with her dogs 🐕 🐕

Me posing in front of a vibrant orange tree. I am a white young adult with teal and brown short to medium length hair, wearing a graphic red green and blue fleece and black pants. I’m looking into the camera, smiling, lifting my right arm at the shoulder and creasing it at the elbow like waving. I am also holding my cane relaxedly in my extended left arm at like a 45° angle

Still me, same trees. I am lowering my right hand and the photo is a bit blurry because of the movement and my eyes are closed because I’m beginning to laugh

Still me. Looking into the camera smiling / laughing, my arms more at my hips level

haven’t noticed it until now, but interesting how the anti-trans “adult human female” has female as the noun as opposed to “adult female human,” less marked ?

- it makes sense you’re scorpio rising too. i’ve had people tell me i’m intimidating or unapproachable in the beginning - you’re calling me unapproachable? - well no, but it’s like we are both scorpio rising so it’s almost like reclaiming that
