I live with Foof the Cat, and two ghosts who only speak German. At least they only speak German when I'm around. Sometimes they play music. Sometimes I tell stories.
Also: I’m staggeringly transgender.

The Hallway to Lento's
#Villagegate. #ROC. #Rochester #Photography
On the left, in sharp focus are two rectangular metal signs posted one on top of the other on a caramel-brown wall, with their right edges touching a scratched wooden door frame painted an industrial brown that doesn't really go with the color of the wall. The upper sign uses three different san-serif fonts, to read: THIS IS A Nonsmoking Building Violators will be fined Underneath it, the second sign reads NO LOITERING SKATEBOARDING OR ROLLERBLADING ON THE PREMISES On the right, out of focus is a dark corridor lit by warm ceiling lights, illuminating yellow fllowers painted om a red wall.

Sheesh. I just finished my application for the Cincinnati Fringe. With 45 minutes to spare. I knew I wanted to apply here more than a month ago. WTF is wrong with me that I need a deadline crashing into me to get things done?

I'm so grateful one of my besties is an actual gosh-darn professional clown.

It's amazing how many interesting images I can generate not traveling past the tiny plot that holds my ramshackle little house. #photography
The view of my street from the backdoor. A cluster of icicles dominate the foreground on the right side. On the left stands the neighbor's house, with three visible windows, one on the first and second floor, one in the dormer. The first floor window glows with warm incandescent light, the other two are dark. The light from the front of the house makes the branch of a small tree in their front yard glow, and an unseen light casts a purple glow onto the snow-covered front lawnt. In the middle, my car is a dark shape on my driveway, backlit slightly by the glow of the streetlight behind it. In the distance, a green light from the neighbors house on the next street over is seen just over the fence that surrounds the empty lot across the street. The light from the center city gives the sky a blue glow. The nearly-full moon, shining through high, thin clouds, as seen from under my back door. The diffusion from the clouds causes a very wide corona, half visible due to the silhouette of my roof and trees from my backyard. The glow illuminates a pair of crooked icicles that formed at the end of my (no doubt clogged) gutter

This is a self-care checkpoint.

Post your favorite selfie that makes you feel good about yourself.

I love this dress. It buttons from my neck down to my ankles. In this pic, I wanted to show myself as both soft and sexy, I only had the button at the midriff fastened, with nothing on underneath.

Three Dancers (2022) #photography #blackandwhite #rehearsal #performance
Black & white image of three dancers--two women and one man--stand bare-footed on a scuffed-up stage, all in loose leggings and short sleeved or sleeveless tops. the two women stand facing each other, with the man standing on the right, behind the woman in the center, with his right hand placed on the woman's right shoulder. Behind them we see a dozen or so lights beaming down at them, lighting them from behind. The beams are visible cones due to the amount of particles in the air. Also behind them, barely visible in the gloom, we see a tall stepladder and some small objects on the top of a table.

It's about attacking trans people. It's also poorly written, doesn't follow the prompt, doesn't quote the assigned article, uses transphobic language in a class taught by a transgender instructor & doesn't even meet the word count. How could a junior in college do so many things wrong in an essay?

Let's start an over 30 selfie thread ✨

A white woman with curly dirty blonde hair with streaks of grey stands in the kitchen in front of a stove, wearing clear horn-rimmed glasses and a salmon-colored button-down cardigan over a black Brandi Carlile tee shirt.

My oldest son's last 4 assignments in the USAF were in Iran, Texas, Iran & Texas.
I asked him which was worse. He thought a moment, and said "Well, I can drink beer in Texas. On the other hand, in Iran I could go for days at a time without seeing someone from Texas, so I gotta give Iran the nod."

Asylum seeker from Texas makes a short return to Mordor. "I suspect most Texans don’t know this, because I certainly didn’t until I got back, but living in Texas turns you into a psychopath. Everything in your daily life puts you in competition with every other person you encounter."
You’re not supposed to live like this

Q: How can you get me to leave you alone and never interact with me again?

A: Flirt with me, apparently

Had Thanksgiving dinner with my bestie and assorted mutual friends.
White woman with light brown hair and glasses, wearing a black T-shirt with the words, super leftist villain on it with an unbuttoned pink button down shirt over it, and a faded denim jacket with various interesting pins and buttons on. It looks at the camera and smiles slightly. The same older, white woman, wearing the same clothes as in the first photo, sits with a non-binary unicorn with dark hair in a buzz cut and green rimmed glasses. They wearing a plaid flannel shirt. They are leaning into each other, heads and shoulders, touching, and smiling broadly. The older white woman and the non-binary unicorn sit on the couch, dressed as before. The non-binary unicorn is holding a scruffy white Doggo but you can only see the top of her head. Between them sits a young woman with glasses and a green T-shirt with an appliqué of a group of potted plants. Underneath the plants and script letters are the words” just one more.” They are all making a Kissy face at the camera, with a possible exception of the Doggo, whose face we cannot see, we will never know The same three people as in the previous image, plus the Doggo, whose face we can see in this one. The three humans are all smiling broadly at the camera. The Doggo is neither smiling nor making a Kissy face. Some things will remain a mystery.

My outfit for when I visited the urologist from a rather trans-problematic health system.
I made many of the staff super uncomfortable, including the doctor.
But, I was cooperative, interested & engaged, relentlessly charming and good-natured, causing them to like me whether they wanted to or not!

And you, CharlieBrown, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.

Back in the day, I directed post-game recaps of SU sports for SportsChannel, and I also produced & directed the "Highlight" show that aired starting on Tuesdays. I'd spend my Sundays cutting each quarter down to 10-11 minutes, plus analysts reflecting on the game.
My first comment is 💯 accurate

Closeup of a pilsner glass with frost on the bottom, sitting on a wire mesh table on a porch, with a blue adirondack-style chair out of focus in the back. The glass is in the process of being filled with an effervescent brown liquid, being poured from a can, which we can see the lip of at the top of the image, as well as part of the can, and the thumb from the hand that's pouring it. The glass is mostly full, and we can see the stream of the soda pouring in, and splashing into the liquid in the glass, proucing effervescent bubbles that are suracing and bursting as they reach the top. Also, tiny droplets of the soda are visible above the rim of the glass, some of which are streaking upward, others are paused at the zenith of their arc.
