"Repeat that?" "You thought that was okay to say out loud?" "You gonna say that with your whole chest?" "Again please, and don't be shy about how wrong you are." call your friends out. everyone fucks up and needs to be called out when we do, but especially cis men perpetuating violence

I adore it -- and when I was 20, people over 40 definitely felt old to me. I'm not quite 40 yet, but I relish being old in the eyes of youth so I can a) be in my own lane minding my own self and b) maybe show someone what it means to love yourself at every age 💓

Thank you Mae! I want to make this as accurate and helpful as I can so I hope every LGBTQIA+ Christian person will consider giving it a read, taking the quiz, and maybe even providing some feedback!

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Meta and Amazon aren't alone — Pinterest, EBay, Target, Square, MasterCard, Nike... the list goes on of corporations making major workforce reductions while still making billions in profits. They don't deserve our business at the expense of our neighbors' livelihoods.

Most of what you buy on Amazon you can buy, with cash, in your local economy. You can still enjoy social media while preventing their overlords from profiting off your presence. We don't have to protest in the streets to shut all this down.

Quit my 11 month hiatus to say: it's been time to shift back to using cash and invest in ad-blocking software. Amazon made $716 Billion last year but still laid off 30,000 people since October. Meta made $200 Billion last year and still laid off 15,000 people. Cut these fuckers off at the knees.

My mom had me sort through my most nostalgic (it was about 10-15) and I kept those to this day. Somewhere in early high school I started reading them again when everything felt so heavy.

all hail my cat
a brown and grey tabby cat, poised upright on a bathroom sink counter. she has a light cream belly, with her striped front legs fully propping her up in a seated upright position. her stripes are dark brown, her main fur color elsewhere is tan and grey. she has green and blue mixed color eyes, and the bathroom lighting illuminates her from below like a goddess.

That's most of it — I'm sure there's a million other little things I forget that contribute to me building my sense of self and gender, but those are the big rhythms on the regular. You're amazing for being you and doing what you need to feel yourself 💓

Nails My nails have always been brittle and I could never grow them very long. I didn't realize until I started getting them done just how much longer nails help me feel confident. I get my nails done every 3-4 weeks. These are acrylic fills from this year.

Makeup + Hair Here's my face again from this morning, with a bit of makeup and my hair touched up. I get my hair dyed professionally every 14 weeks. I do my own makeup just for fun but also because it helps me with that inner sense of femininity that I'm looking for sometimes.

Hair removal cont'd 2 years ago I started the process of laser hair treatment and I am so grateful for it. I only focused on my upper thighs and privates, but the relief I experienced from years of pain cycles was so worth it.

Hair removal: In addition to dermaplaning removing hair from most of my face (including my upper lip), I also pluck 20ish hairs between my brows and 60-80 hairs off my chin (all black) between dermaplaning sessions. Body: - shave: legs, armpits, feet 1x/week

Dermaplaning: To help with that feel of soft skin, I added dermaplaning to my regimen a couple years ago. So now I exfoliate 2-3x/week and dermaplane my face once every 3 weeks.

Skincare: I don't give a shit about gender roles, but I do have some inner tie to the feel of femininity (whatever the fuck that means) and for me that most often looks like caring for my skin and keeping it smooth. My regimen: - cleanse: 2x daily - moisturize + serum: 2x daily - retinol: 3x/week

hello trans, enby, genderfluid and all other girlies! this is my annual post about gender affirming care as a cis woman. I started doing this a few years ago — now I do it annually after my first dermaplaning (which was yesterday). Here's my face this morning, post-skincare. A thread 🧵

Hello! Panromantic asexual reporting for duty! (and fellow admirer of @jennadewitt.bsky.social 😍) for me, it's about what I hope in response. Am I hoping to captivate their heart? Am I hoping to be the only thing they think about today? Or am I hoping they feel comfy just like I do?

We’re close to losing Sesame Street, a show that was started to provide free educational media to marginalized kids in our country. That’s not an accident in my opinion and it’s just one more example of how Capitalism robs our society of the sweet and good things we build to care for one another.

My doctor just started me on a new med and admitted to me that most insurances don't cover it, and without insurance it's $500 per bottle, so she then gave me a website to order from Canada if my insurance doesn't cover it (which, thankfully, it does for now) It's not the docs.

this quote on Al Jazeera sums up the celebration I saw in downtown Raleigh yesterday, too — so much to celebrate right now even if there's still a road ahead for rebuilding and figuring out the future
a screenshot from Al Jazeera quoting a conversation between two men in Lebanon, the quote reads:

...a vendor shouted over: "Who will rule you now? The Americans? The Israelis?"

"I don't know, but it's been 13 years," Mahmoud shouted back. "Khakis [enough]!"

The three young men were beaming the morning after the end of the al-Assad dynasty's rule in Syria after 53 years."

I went to a fundraiser event at a local arboretum where they allow the community to visit after dark (usually it's closed at dusk), and they also had these incredible art installations. I was totally at peace.
M.J. (brunette woman) paused beneath a hanging wooden lamp sculpture, with her left hand clasping the sculpture's bottom most point and the light from the sculpture illuminating her face and casting shadows through the wood carvings.

this is why I call myself "Christian-adjacent" — I hold mystery and wonder and hope, and I know most Christians would not consider me as one of them, but I grew up in their tradition and my sense of hope was born from there. I detangled myself from their systems, but I still seek light.

yes, these are the e ranges I receive when I'm tested. that high end of the range is really only for ovulation, the rest of the time (90% of the year) cis women are below 250
