Like a perfectly reasonable person the last day at my home in San Francisco was spent adoring our house spider for lunar New Year/Easter/Eostre/Valentine's day/St.Pat's. Who knows when I will be back but at least the spiders & my neighbours will enjoy it.

On my dentist's door in San Francisco at probably my last visit cause I'm not coming back to the USA unless I have to for the rest of the year/term/forever? Met with trans friends everyday many do resistance work. Hope overcoming fear.

My adult kid ended up sick on my visit so no NYE or museum visit NY day with them. I was a good parent & dropped off two meals at their flat. Gonna binge gay hockey players & journal on my one free day on this trip to the US. Not a bad way to start 2026 if I can't be with kin.

When you go back to your home in the US for the first time in 6 months & there is @jackiedeeart.bsky.social #spn #destiel calendar & an brand new #gish #assbutt from a fellow gisher & fandom friend

Me: a non Christian who doesn't celebrate Christmas
Also me: buys 6 Advent calendars(luckily expensed by the content creator spouse)
The Drunken Chocolatier calendar from Vancouver is the best.

Some folks put their x-mas tree in their window, some folks can see it FROM their window. Which is handy when you aren't actually Christian but are really queer & love shiny!

51 was a rough year but 52 is starting out better with my first sunset in the Yukon. Other than CBSA deciding to "random search" me after I didn't remove my wrist braces in the nexus line. She kept goading me but I was like enjoy your power trip with a crip I'm going to the aurora borealis.

I started use USians due to character limits but knowing it also makes covert racists out themselves is value add. How pathetic is a "journalist" saying language can't change & that it can't originate from bias & white supremacy. Also a reminder white trans folks can still be racist & biased

And did the monolingual learn anything from her dumbass post. Of course not, it was just engagement farming.

Reminding myself of this & my fellow “do-gooders” who are forgetting we must collaborate & liberate together & hierarchy in giving is still oppression

"celebrating" getting referrals to both neurologist & rheumatologist with two treats. Dubai chocolate croissant & my favourite tamarind candy-both way overpriced cause Vancouver but at least all my medical appointments are free. Also really mid tacos cause of this sign.

Rest in Power Alice Wong. You made so many rethink disability justice with your book including me. Disability Visibility. She was only 3 months older than me. What a fierce life.

Not sure what you mean by “get in” but no you can not join the chat without paying. This is a fact. You can VIEW the substack post for free which is not what I was referencing Sorry not interested in your parasocial relationships but enjoy it if it brings you joy.

Sometimes selfcare over not knowing if you are ever going to be able to renew your US passport cause of blatant transphobia is lots of uni, picking up 1/2 duck at Chinatown BBQ on the way home & giving your taxi driver a big tip cause he just got his PR status in Canada & at least he's safe.

This an hour BEFORE sunset and it's actually gotten worse. Welcome to the least fun season in Vancouver when it could darkness & low visibility at 9am, 1pm or whenever the fuck it wants.

On November 5th, 2020 my twitter feed was flooded with the angel is gay- my intro to Supernatural & started watching from season 4 on Nov 6th. Being bored stuck in the USA during a pandemic motivated me too. found fanfic on Nov 23rd when I realize the gay declaration wasn't for another 11 seasons.

Still have fever from vaccines & this going on tonight till 7am. It's a sequel to the Social Network & the scene is supposed to be Caribbean. It is currently a balmy 9C. At least the crew looks warm.

You know what I love? Having a fever & other reactions from flu/COVID vaccines & not being sure if I am hallucinating music or it's from the tropical beach movie being filmed across from my building in Vancouver in November. That's just a prep tent. They built a damn tiki bar with palm trees.

Its Thanksgiving in Canada, Indigenous people day in the USA. I live as the grandchild of a Jewish refugee & a Black grandfather but still a settler in both countries uninvited but seeking a "safer" life as a trans person wherever I can, trying to be a better guest for my time here than those before

Next Gen Chef...well I know how to cook.
October 9, 2025 at 9:02 PM
I want to decompress from #vancon but I have 300 plus emails unread, a beef heart to cook & a film festival.

One highlight for me was when I lost the stickers I brought to give away on Sat & then Sunday the lone vendor Fatima randomly encountered me because she found them & was going to take them back to the UK to try to give them to me next year. Beautiful random kindness #vancon #spncon
September 29, 2025 at 5:33 PM
Today's #vancon #spnvan outfit. It may not be on brand for #spn but it is for me & easier to spot than red flannel or spn T-shirt. Say hi if you see me
September 28, 2025 at 7:32 PM
2nd day of #spncon #vancon. Got to meet fandom folks from Germany, Estonia, India, Ireland, Alberta & of course the state. If you see me say hi!
