iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This country is so deeply… cursed. I have incredibly mixed feelings about digital credentials and the slippery slope of “well now it’s easy to require strong guarantees”, but in a country where so many sites now ask for photos of identity documents via unknown third parties, it doesn’t feel so bad…

Spending a few hours playing with photo stuff really makes me want to go back to taking more photos in general but especially going back to shooting more film…

Partner took me to my first ever ren faire, and people keep complimenting us on how gay and how different we look.

Me, on the right, looking close into the eyes of my partner, seemingly about to kiss. I’m wearing a long black dress with an underbust corset, whereas she’s wearing a white blouse under a yellow dress.

A few friends are arguing that I should wear this to a wine bar in SF tomorrow for my birthday, but I think it might be a bit much (and cause excessive lesbian panic), and maybe raise eyebrows in the venue. Plz advise?

me, wearing a black lace bra, with black fishnets on top. i’m also wearing black skinny jeans with a narrow belt with metal decoration all around. there’s also, incidentally, rope on the table in front of the mirror.

I guess I can’t safely use these since I got the sex in my passport changed, now I’m no longer male.

In here there are ten male condoms. They are ultra thin, vegan, clean scented, dermatologically tested, made from 100% natural fair rubber, and endorsed by medical professionals.

being told to talk to people more (by speech therapist, mostly so I can focus on my voice in a more natural setting), and not wanting to burden a close group of friends too much who wants to chat for maybe 15 mins at some point?

a screenshot of some pretty unreadable green text on a purple background

two columns, on the left:

PROS
get more consistency
interact with friends more reduce cognitive load
feel like we are making progress

and on the right:

CONS
social anxiety/ people (ew)
feel like a burden?
have to take own advice

The thing that always gets me about being on estrogen is how my hands look quite different now compared with five years ago:

my hand, with pretty prominent veins (and nice red nails)

my hand, with almost no obvious veins, and heavily chipped purple glittery nails

Sam Sneddon 🏳️‍⚧️ @gsnedders.com · 18/02/2024

have I made a mess of my hair playing with it for hours? yes do I have too much makeup for a pub on Sunday? yes do I care? no

“Buy a trans girl flowers”, they said, “nobody’s bought her flowers before”. I think this is genuinely the first time anyone has bought me a whole bouquet (and not, like, a single rose). 💕🖤💖

a bouquet of red roses and some other flowers between some LEGO orchids and Everyone Is Awesome. the wall beyond the black coffee table is a slightly brighter red than the roses.

t+14 days Probably gonna be the last one of these I post for a while; swelling and bruising have largely gone, and at this point there’s just waiting to see soft tissue changes. Very happy with where I’m at, for where I am; just have to see how the next six months goes.

I do wish I understood *how* LEGO splits bricks into different bags. I’m sure there’s some rationale for how it’s done.

t+8 days rare photo of me with a full face makeup on (supposedly natural, but it looks too much for that for me, imo, but mostly to hide all the post-op bruising and everything)

me, looking to one side, away from the camera, looking a bit… bronze

Happy New Year, happy arbitrary day! At least for me, I’m looking forward to big personal changes in many ways, almost all of which I’m super excited for. Hope to spend more time with more people this year, and get to know new people close to where I’ll be in a year’s time.

not saying I have ADHD, but my to-do list says I need to do the tiny last bit of my tax return, so l put up the Christmas Tree instead

a plastic christmas tree with twinkling lights on it. except the christmas tree is rainbow coloured, because of course Sam has a rainbow Christmas tree.

Just fucking grab me by the collar and call me pretty. Shove me into the wall and tell me you want me before you hungrily put your lips to mine. I can’t promise I won’t try to get back in control, but maybe I’ll let myself be yours today.

Me, with long hair, somewhat wavy, with a black collar with a pearlescent o-ring on the front. I’m wearing a stripped black/brown/white/green top, with some green underlayer. I’m looking deeply into the camera, my lips slightly apart as if I’m about to kiss.

This is a reasonable work outfit for today, right? 👻🎃

So, uh, are we still horny for prominent collar bones? Asking for a friend.

I’d just like to report that I successfully changed the gender in my passport. Unfortunately, I overpowered the gender-change spell and accidentally transed the King:
