I hate this timeline. Can't trust the president around your children. Can't trust the vice president around your couch. Can't trust the FBI director around your pets or livestock. Can't trust the HHS secretary around your roadkill.

When I changed my name, my coworkers respected my new name/ pronouns and just generally treated me like a woman if they weren't already. And I'm a welder, btw. If a bunch of welders can do it, so can you.

I think I may need a new daily driver. I love my truck. I'm not getting rid of it, but I'm not sure how long it will last going from Tacoma to Redmond every day. I want something small, cute, reliable enough, and cheap.

So on Tuesday I finally start my new job. I'm actually not a welder. The job title is Electro-mechanical technician. There is some welding. Just figures I get a welding certification, and then I get a job that doesn't require it. I didn't mean to change careers this time.

This weekend marks 19 years my girlfriend has been putting up with my nonsense. I'm still pretty crazy about her.

I'm a certified welder. They even sent me a sticker.

WABO welder certification card bearing the name Charlize Steele and a sticker that reads "WABO certified welder "

Mixing my morning protein shake, my girlfriend calls it "gay alchemy." Then, I needed her to get the plant based protein powder off the shelf because I'm too short and it was too far back on the shelf.

I got a new job, the pay is really good. I'll be working 50 hour weeks. I think I'm really going to like it. It feels life changing. Like not greatly life changing, but comfortable life changing. I start on the 14th. Maybe that is all I needed to do was get out of Florida.

Today I'm practicing TIG welding aluminum and looking cute.

My girlfriend (out of context): I'm being assaulted by a rabid bottom!

Passed WABO certification for vertical. Not overhead. I don't want to talk about overhead.

I retake my WABO certification test in the morning. I got this, but wouldn't hurt to wish me luck and offer me words of encouragement. I was so nervous last time.

So I'm just looking at my beautiful trans girlfriend and she tells me I have a gay look on my face. I love her.

So is it only during June that the MAGAs pretend to care about the military?

A transgender person could be naked and some clown will still accuse them of playing dress up.

❓️ for my fellow trans folx - What did living as your AGAB feel like? For me, it felt like everything the haters accuse us of - acting, pretending, playing dress up, putting on a costume. Except dress up and costumes generally are fun. Being a man was more like an uncomfy poor fitting work uniform.

Imagine arguing with someone you have never spoken to, tooth and nail, over whether or not they are being themselves. Stupid, right? It's what transphobes do all day every day.

My girlfriend sez: You look so much like a lesbian, Facebook gives you ads for power tools. She's not wrong.

So what is a good music streaming app? Pandora pissed me off, so I went to Spotify. Spotify pissed me off, so I went to Amazon. Now Amazon is pissing me off.

I got a job Its pending the new supervisor that they just hired who hasn't spoken to me yet. But I basically have it. Owner likes me, supervisor who was there likes me, office admin likes me.

So the US is at war with the Islamic Republic of Japan. We are probably going to lose that war too.

Kinda want to do something and be social this weekend, but I'm probably just going to be working on stuff in the garage.
