Canvas of Scars is a collection of dark poetry, short prose, and art by a trans masc author with themes of PTSD, psychosis, and other dark subjects. It's my first art/poetry collection, and it's my own story of what I survived and the art that helped me cope 🖤 #transpoetry 🌈📚 ♿♾️📚

I don't really do fancy drinks, unless you count La Croix as fancy 😆 I may just dump a couple cans of La Croix in a bottle and do that. I found a good one online I might grab.

😆 I might just have to do that. It may be my best bet.

💜 Ditto to you! Honestly social media is the only place I even have queer friends.

Part of me is wondering if I should get like a water bottle I can put a strap on to hang around my neck because then I can't possibly ignore it 😆

That's awesome 💜 The majority of my social life is online, so I would have never sold any books without it. The majority of my friends are here too. And it's definitely great for mutual aid. For all its frustrations, it's so helpful.

I don't think a special cup will make a difference unfortunately, although I can give it a try. I have ADHD so I just completely forget.

There, fixed.

Doctor: "Your blood work looks great, you're just dehydrated."

Me, in a perpetual state of dehydration: "Oh. Still?"

The neurodivergent struggle to just. drink. WATER.

Thanks! Totally get the ADHD procrastination, I've had tabs up in my browser for months with books I intended to get but still haven't 😆

You are trans if you feel you are trans, full stop. Just if anyone needs the reminder 💜

It's gonna be a rough couple months, but I can do this. My body's been through hell before, it'll survive going off T. I'm so happy with where my transition is now. This is just another stage of it.

You're still trans even if you lose access to hormones, or if you no longer want to take them 💜

Picture of me standing in the bathroom through the mirror. I'm a white trans masculine person with long blonde hair, and I'm wearing square black glasses and a black hoodie, a tattoo choker and a couple silber necklaces, and a few bracelets, including a nonbinary colred star one. My septum amd lip are pierced and so are my ears. One arm is crossed over my front and the other is holding up my phone.

I'm not going to argue about it.

Shane💀Blackheart (they/them) @shaneblackheart.com · 9h

I won't get into it.

Shane💀Blackheart (they/them) @shaneblackheart.com · 9h

Thank you, I definitely hope that's the case. I've had some ridiculous pain from periods so I should be alright.

Shane💀Blackheart (they/them) @shaneblackheart.com · 9h

Of course, I agree with you there. I was just mentioning to be careful how it's talked about is all.

I won't get into too deep a discussion (spoons), but I'm speaking from personal experience as a SA survivor, which had nothing to do with spiritual roots in my case.

Ah, okay, good to know. Thank you for sharing that. I'm unfamiliar with what a D&C is? (I never had a doctor take my endo symptoms seriously, so this is the first time I'm pursuing treatment for it.)

Shane💀Blackheart (they/them) @shaneblackheart.com · 10h

A lot of the time it does require therapy because it can be very distressing.

I would caution how you talk about this because hypersexuality is a very real thing and is mostly caused by trauma.

Thanks! Yeah it seemed like the estimated recovery time was pretty short, I'll definitely give myself more time. How bad was the procedure?

Shane💀Blackheart (they/them) @shaneblackheart.com · 10h

The cramps I got with my periods before (periods haven't started up again yet, too soon after stopping T) were so excruciating that no prescription pain medicine would touch them. So I'm prepared.

Thank you 💜 I really appreciate it.

Gonna start the process to see if I can get an endometrial ablation sooner than later. That'll definitely solve my heavy period issues going forward, so being off T won't be as terrible in the long run.
