I'm just a trans dude being me.

We teach our daughter to be suspicious of any man who claims to be a "good guy" and this is why. Cis men, by and large, do not know what it takes to be a good guy. There obviously are ones who do, but until I see more doing this... I won't trust self proclaimed good guys.

Doing things the easy way? When I can have a new name? Pshhh... Anyway. My legal name change went through in March and now I'm doing a rebrand with a different last name on all my socials. Because... Reasons. So if you followed me as PopeSimonX, it's still me. I just... Got creative.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

I bought a dick candle for some candle magic and today was the last burn. All that's left is this:

The number one reason I feel hope right now is Republicans are starting to push back. Trump has been in office less than a year and people on the right are starting to say "well, actually, this is terrible." Don't get me wrong. It's not enough yet, but it does give me hope.

May every Congressional Republican follow MTG’s lead.
Marjorie Taylor Green has been in Congress since 2020 and is resigning as of Jan 5,
2026. And I just want to point out one thing.

She spent 5 years in Congress attacking the left-and never feared for her life or safety to any level that would make her resign.

She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing the
MAGA right and the backlash was so severe she is resigning.

5 years of antagonizing the left resulted in no action. 5 weeks of criticizing the right resulted in resignation.
That says it all.

My favorite sign I've ever seen in the wild:
Sign with images from Southern Utah, including the red rocks and a dune buggy and a man biking. 

The words say: 

How to Poop in the desert 
We all do it. 
But what's the best way? 
Dealing with Your waste is an important part of your Southern Utah Trip. These are the top three options when you have to go
Outhouses 
Portable Toilets
Wag Bags

Pack it out 
Take portable toilets to dump stations. Take wag bags to waste stations or identified containers in Moab. Don't put Wag bags and trash in outhouses.

Catholes are illegal
In the desert, there's very little water. Buried poop + toilet paper bag down very slowly and contain pathogens which spread disease. You should always plan on packing out your poop and toilet paper. 

Poop with a plan. 

Canyonlands
(And some illegible words)

At the store looking at holiday decorations, Z complained about how much wreaths are and I pointed out that's tariff pricing (wreaths have cost more than they are worth for a while, imo, but I've looked for them enough times in my life that I know they are priced higher this year).

How do you define "deliberately made themselves destitute"? When I was near homeless and trying to get on my feet, my sister tried to stop my family from helping. Her logic mostly came down to the belief that if I hadn't left my husband, I would be fine, so this was all my fault. 1/

Is KFC still good in other countries? My expectations of KFC at this point are so low that when I get it, I'm always sure that it can't be as bad as I remember. It's always somehow worse. Today's edition: wings. It's so over cooked, there is no finger licking. How do you fuck up *wings*???

I've been a massage therapist for 15 years. 5 years ago I got a degree in biomedical engineering. Last night I taught medical terminology to a bunch of students at the massage school. No matter how much I learn about the human body, I'm always amazed at the weird shit it does. Bodies are wild.

While I never believed Trump's promise that he was in any way going to help the economy for average Americans, I'm still blindsided by how much extra I'm having to pay for things lately. I swear I have a panic attack every time we buy groceries.

Whose going to tell them Corgis looking like that is also because of genetic abnormalities and likely inbreeding? It's legit why mutts tend to be healthier. They're less likely to get two recessive genes leading to "abnormalities". Anyway, diversity is great! share.google/CGMIMhmwdFFB...

The last time I saw my sister (in 2020), she was defending Trump and I brought this up. She tried brushing it aside by saying none of it had been proven. I wonder what she's thinking today. (Not enough to find out, but I sure hope she is doing some deep reflection.) Anyway, trust victims.

Bob Ross was just ASMR. If you don't believe me, put on a Bob Ross video and look at anything else while it's playing. Just listen. The fact he also made phenomenal paintings while he did it and educated people at the same time is just amazing.

Does that mean I "win" if both of these are true for me? Lol. (I definitely had a very sheltered childhood. Conservatives should note that it did not stop me from first coming out as a Lesbian and then as a trans man. It just made me very bad at pop culture references)

I know why I didn't keep good records of my transition. Up until not that long ago, my life was a dumpster fire. I could barely function. It was A LOT. But sometimes I wish I had. Sometimes when I'm trying to remember timelines of things it gets all muddled up in my head.

My sister who doesn't reach out very often texted me today just to make sure I'd heard the news. I had. I still really, really appreciated the text. I was pretty sure they wouldn't overturn Obergefell, but I was very concerned that they would agree that she had a religious exemption.

When I lived in AZ, I lived in a city that was surrounded by farms and desert. It was big enough to have 2 high schools! But also still very entrenched in rural dynamics. As such, the population median was overall reliant on government or community programs to meet needs. I learned this there. 1/5

So I've never updated my work address on Google Maps. I regularly use Google Maps to check traffic on my way to work, but I had saved my current work as an important place instead of my work. Today I accidentally clicked the work button and uh... I guess I can be at work in 31 hours?
A screenshot of Google maps. A route is plotted from "Your Location" to "Work" and the map has a blue route that cuts across much of the United States, leaving Northern Utah, going through Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas. Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and ending in North Carolina. That route is labeled 1 d 7 hr. An alternative route splits off in Northern Missouri, goes through Illinois, Indiana, before dropping down through Kentucky and Tennessee and ending in North Carolina. That one is labeled 1 d 8 hr. Below the map is the Drive times. By car, it's 31 hr. By train/public transport it's 2 days. By walking it's 31 days. By bike, it is 8 days. The command to avoid tolls is checked. It also said that the total distance is 2,042 miles.

It's funny, because while I agree with this concept, I struggle to broadly apply it to myself. Like, I paint. I have paintings I've made that were important enough to me that when I had to fit all my belongings into a Jeep Liberty, they made the list. But I don't see myself as a painter.

Did you know that the tribe Utah is named after wasn't the predominant tribe in Utah? Every single Utahn and every single Mormon should read the Timpanogos Tribe's history as found on their website. It's not mobile friendly, but definitely worth the read. www.timpanogostribe.com/index.html
