Truly! Especially since one of them wouldn't have anything to do with me for a week after I brought in her new brother.

Now that I'm pretty much sorted on the HRT front, I brought Vyvanse back into the equation and WOW that feels different than before. In a good way.

Kind of like the best fever dream. Which is that book! I remember reading it the first time and being perplexed, dazzled, enchanted, and creeped out.

Same. It is suitable WEIRD and WTF as it should be. And I am loving the 80s Labyrinth/Neverending Story vibes.

Kitty croissant. Yes, this is a dog bed. No, Silas doesn’t care.

Please enjoy this monarch butterfly. I grew that marigold myself, so I’m quite pleased.

Yeah, it’s still hard. I miss the whole therapy of it. Video games have sufficed. But it’s been 12 months of Dad caregiving that have only gotten harder.

Did I write a book in the last year? No. But I did get two cats, and I feel like that's an investment in future books that has some really damned good returns.

once again, you're *supposed* to signal virtue, while also attempting to *possess* it.

Thrilling update: the refrigerator is here! As is the chest freezer. There is much rejoicing.

It's a Samsung! It has water INSIDE. Very cool.

I put a halter on Silas, and he has taken to it as if it's his job. I think... I think I have a cat who will wear clothes.

All of Arthurian and medieval lit of men tearing out their hair for women they can't have lol and running into the woods to be with their feelings

This rears up every now and again and it's so exhausting.

And what a self-own, too, given that criteria eliminates most of Western Lit written by men, too.

Salem: making croissant on the Tibetan chest. Silas: judging me from his perch on my planner.

Look, I returned TWO separate items to TWO separate mailing providers. And picked up prescriptions. And ordered groceries. I think I’m good for the week.

I did a ton of executive functioning this morning, and I was so proud of myself. Then it all came down and I am now just a human lump.

It’s Caturday! Huzzah for Silas completing his first vet appointment. He’s healthy and lovely and wonderfully behaved. A gentleman and a scholar.

We connect on this, it's true of both mad people & trans people. Our oppression is the invention of white supremacy & fascism for their goals of genocide. We are people who have always been a part of humanity, inherently are, & were commonly accepted as that before this. @metroplex.northsky.social

Here is my pitch for anyone who has worries about rail: I think that building out rail is a necessary (but not sufficient) step in transforming American cities from totally car dependent to slightly walkable, in a way that no other form of transit is.

One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.
