40, rural Appalachian, your friendly neighborhood transmasc librarian. Generally found writing, reading, trying to play Irish trad music on the guitar, or bumbling around in a video game when I'm not wrangling 2 kiddos.
Amazing brilliant lovely GF styled me in suspenders for SAFF and I have never felt more more "fuck yes, I love being in my body" than yesterday - glowing up in the glow yarn booth 😁

A kiddo somewhere between the age of 2 and 3 came in the library earlier and immediately yelled "THERE'S A MAN!" and pointed straight at me at the desk and that made up for the 5000 "ma'am"-s and "young lady"-ies I've gotten recently ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you, kiddo, you're my new favorite patron 😁

I made coffee that is doing its best to keep the horrors at bay - took a picture for my gf and damn I feel like a fine-looking man 😁 Found a similar shot from Sept 2019 - wish I had better words to explain what it feels like to see *yourself* in a pic rather than "oh... yeah, I guess that's me"
