Just a warning for anyone who wanders in here because I said something cool somewhere about comic books, RPGs, or libraries... my feed here is mostly me babbling about videogames (or my transition) 🤣

One night I will properly internalize how important it is to not get into bed before I have washed my face and done my other ablutions

But tonight is not that night.

Well, the nicest solo selfie.

But I'm saving the others, for now.

Still can't believe I read the first one and it didn't manage to crack my egg 😅

Go preorder Jadzia's book, and suggest your local library preorder some too while you're at it 😤

It's funny you say that because the place that made it had a special offer last year which would've gotten me a tote bag that said

"Ms Frizzle is my Style Icon"

I did not get one, sadly

Been a minute since I shared a selfie. Here's the nicest from this past week.

Selfie of a smiling white woman with light brown hair that frames her face cut in a cute bob (now with plum/pink balayage coloring). Her blue eyes pop behind light-blue translucent framed glasses. She's wearing a purple dress covered with stars and rainbow dragons over a black collared blouse. She has rather bold purply pink eyeshadow and bright coral lip color. Her off hand is throwing up horns 🤘 showing off her wedding band and dark red nail polish.

Well enough. Same stressors mostly, with some extra incidentals that come with some good stuff lately.

Thank you Beth, hope you're doing well.

So the auntie thing honestly did start as a bit of a joke, but I have had two local trans femmes contact me today to share/gush/update about milestones and between that and all the online only (for now) folks it's becoming less and less of a bit. 😅

Once I couldn't remember the title of the movie PASSION OF THE CHRIST

And when I opened my mouth UNCLE JESUS' LONG WALK came out

Brains are weird 🤷‍♀️

But afterward, will you have dinner at UNCLE JESUS' CHICKEN AND HATE SHACK?

Huh, wonder if that's what's going on with a lot of us.

More evidence that my youthful queer identity (and years of precocious gender cope) have me with a slightly different experience than a lot of women, I suppose.

Oh, no, the yearn has returned, it's just not quite the hair trigger hornt I see from so many other women 😅

Not entirely certain whether I'm disappointed or relieved that this wasn't one of the effects I got 🤣

I mean, I'm aware enough about your side of the pond to know about St George's flag being racist, but if this is a bit of slang I'm afraid I'm entirely unaware of it.

Winter, she's not an instrument, she's a girl 😛

Look, I was a vocalist.

Only instrument I spent a significant amount of time on as an adult was the kazoo 😛
