My upstairs neighbor just turned on the loudest fucking music I've ever heard in a house, moments after I turned off the light to try to take a nap 😭 I haven't had a good night's sleep in a week

the worst thing is that I can't sleep, it's like torture trying to sleep on my back. Sleep aids will knock me out but I still don't feel rested the next day

I went as big as my surgeon was willing to do, I am curious to find out if it makes a difference once i'm done healing

I've been off mastodon for a couple years now but this has me thinking it's time to revisit it! Great article!

It was dating app serendipity, I'm not actually using my girlfriend's dates as a potential dating pool 😂

I need an optional phone notification feature to make it so a new notification can't be dismissed in like the first 5 seconds after it appears So often I'm in the middle of swiping away notifs that I don't need and a new one pops in and I accidentally swipe it away before I even see what it was

This is possibly giving me the courage to make the attempt, if I get results 10% as good as yours I'll be thrilled

So here it is, my fundraiser to try to raise money for transition medical needs. gofund.me/276605f7e I've never done this before, I don't really know what I'm doing, I just know I need to try. Thank you for any consideration you can give. 💜

I'm definitely going to take the approach of trying to be everywhere that seems to make sense, doing a lot of A-B testing, and then putting in more effort where I get results. But I'll probably not totally abandon any platform because things change, the web is cyclical

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 11/10/2026

so like, in a past career, a decade or more ago, where we were obsessed with referral traffic, we were surprised to learn that nothing was coming from Twitter. Our posts got engagement but no one ever clicked through. This was way before they started deliberately nerfing links

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 11/10/2026

So you're feeling like Threads is worth the trouble? I haven't touched it up to now, but I'm just on the verge of getting started with posting spicy content and am open to anything I've spent a lot of time with various social media over the years and some platforms just don't do what you want

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 11/10/2026

why do I relate so much to the lyrics of Layne Staley, a (afaik) cis straight man who spent much of his adulthood in the grips of a nightmare heroin addiction? None of those things apply to me in the slightest and yet I find so much to relate to in the songs he wrote

I don't want to make a mountain out of a mole hill here, I can't say for sure that I was in danger. Maybe he was a harmless crank or weirdo It's the constant wondering, am I in danger? That wears on me so much

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 10/10/2026

If I get any amount of money from anyone contributing to this, I'll be sincerely grateful and honored. It's not a contribution to vanity or vague desires. It's a contribution toward my ability to continue living as a trans person in the US in 2026. Thank you for reading 💜

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 10/10/2026

I'm going to share more details about the procedures I need, why I need them, what they'll cost. I want to do this. I'm an open book, I like sharing info, & I want anyone nterested to see what we're telling trans people is still considered "optional" care. Things that would truly make a difference

150

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 10/10/2026

So, I'm taking a multi-pronged approach, wracking my brain for options. And it makes sense to ask for help Any funds I take in will be earmarked for transition medical care only

140

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 10/10/2026

I've done everything I can do with insurance, everything that's covered, and still I'm constantly clocked as trans, constantly feeling unsafe wherever I go There are more procedures that can help, but they're gonna cost. And I don't have an obvious way to raise the funds

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 10/10/2026

later that same night, a drunk dude accosted me and my girlfriend outside a bar, and I had to get in his face to get him to leave us alone This kind of thing has happened so many times. In my 3+ years here, probably a dozen times have I had strangers give me grief for being trans

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 10/10/2026

It was after dark and I was pumping gas about a 1/4 mile from home he came up behind me saying "hey tranny. Tranny! I've got something for you. Hey tranny, I've got something for you!" I played dumb, pretending I didn't hear him, unsure if he was a foot away or 10 feet away, & got back in the car

Michelle La Fell @michellelafell.northsky.social · 10/10/2026

At some point this weekend, I'm gonna do something I've been debating doing for quite some time: I'm going to post a crowdfunder to support my transition medical needs I'm doing it now because of the man who scared the shit out of me this past Sunday

This continues to be new information to me despite the best efforts of @dearevelynriley.bsky.social and @atmasweapon.com but I feel like maybe it's finally sinking in? Anyway I'm a very lucky girl and I adore them both 💖

Did you know: When you're in a healthy relationship, you can voice an emotional need to your partner, and so long as what you're asking for is reasonable and fair, there's a good chance that need will be met and you'll feel a lot better! 💜 Strange but true! 😊

tapering off the painkillers was not a good time but I'm not in any real pain at this point so that's good!

It fills me with rage and bafflement that the people in power can't see how corrosive, toxic, and even suicidal this behavior is It feels like living through mass psychosis again, somehow even worse than the covid denialists of 2020

I met my girlfriend through backyard wrestling and then decided that the best way to impress her was to make a bunch of inscrutable occult pamphlets that encouraged people to cut their dicks off and only eat at 7 Eleven and invited her to go downtown with me to hand them out to SXSW attendees.

Also we did the pamphleting thing again a few weeks later to a frat party, and having learned from feedback from doing it to SXSW people, who would ask me if I had actually cut my dick off, I made myself a prosthetic stump. The frat boys did not like seeing my stump.
