I am consistently impressed with my PCP. At my first visit, two years ago, he took (or tried to take) the radial pulse on both of my wrists. Friends, I do not have a left radial pulse because I do not have a left radial artery. I see him approximately every six months and he's remembered every time.

Today would be a good day to read and share my essay about trans medicine and trans autonomy, and why trans people are complexly traumatized without them.

We deserve for our bodies to belong to us. We deserve lives we can live.

I’d love for cis people to read this.

I was starting to get kinda down on myself for doing absolutely nothing today, but remembered I spent *counts on fingers* 11 hours around extended family yesterday, and that's way too many

Conceptualizing my brain as an exotic fishtank is helping me get thru this med change. Someone's messing with the pH, no wonder some of the fish are dying

figured out why this venue smells so appetizing: it's the eau de cigarette that waffle house had before the government told us we couldn't have carcinogens in our most beloved cultural institutions

Emerged from my dissociative little cave long enough to talk about books (and get paid). Nice work if you can get it

My current project is a m/m historical romance between two Union veterans, starring a character I had to cut from the first novel because I just didn't have room for him.

My first novel is a coming-of-age story about an intersex protagonist in the 19th c. American West, and the burned-out doctor they learn to trust. I have a polished draft but no plans to do anything else with it. It's a little too close to home for public consumption.
