Every interaction with the former friend is just so damn awkward. Like, we’re not friends any more (and truthfully we never were friends) and yet we still have to work together. I don’t know what to do tbh.

I’d warn them to straighten up but I have them blocked on all accounts and I really just don’t feel like unblocking them to do that.

Sucks when you’re talking with friends about people you know and you learn that a former friend of yours is heading down the wrong path and burning bridges and you feel bad that they’ve fallen that far.

I am REALLY fucking sick and tired of people feeling the need to comment on my height/size. It’s one of the things I’m most dysphoric about and it’s been happening SO MUCH lately. I don’t comment on people’s shortness do I?

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

I don’t really want to make this platform an actual “thing” but it is kinda nice to have somewhere I can shout into the void for venting considering no one really follows or interacts with me on here lol

First Christmas out as trans and therefore the first Christmas without my family/parents. Still working through that but it’s pretty weird. Been a tough year friendship-wise what with a lot of friends leaving me so I’m feeling pretty lonely lately and the whole Christmas thing isn’t helping.

Just finished @guygavrielkay.bsky.social ‘s “Last Light of the Sun” for the first time yesterday. I’m not ashamed to admit I cried at the end. Absolutely incredible book. It has made its way to my top 10 of all time.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.
