feeling particularly excited & grateful today to be a trans person!! it is an existence that others are trying to make difficult and that does definitely get to me but like... I really like who I am now, and I like the unique perspectives that transness gives me.

I can’t go this time around but I think it’s going to be great

This is so fair! If you want encouragement to finish, I’d recommend @ghostcitypress.bsky.social’s Summer Series. They’re microchapbooks, all available online for free (or you can donate to the authors if you want). They’re short enough you might be able to read one/day for a few days.

Thanks for writing and sharing it! It’s been on my list for a while and I got off the waitlist for the Eugene Public Library just in time to read it as one of my Sealey books.
