Cant believe it's only been 3 months and already the humble vial holder has graduated to some sort of sleeker scifi genre in Suzhou. My gratitude again to @quiet.ink for the holder, surviving 50K miles of travel :)

What started as Ningbo only has expanded to Suzhou and Shanghai 😵‍💫 I'll have to start repeating outfits, heaven forbid

a load-bearing component of “the magic of Christmas” is the invisible domestic labor of moms you are now realizing how much she was doing for you and instead of just thanking her you’ve decided it’s about the decline of civilization

Scott Wills paints a background for the first run of Samurai Jack (2001–2004), created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Cartoon Network Studios

My coworker, manager for the team I'm visiting to support on a decently high stakes project, nervously insists he is Normal and not gay whenever such jokes are (often) made at dinner. Message received: Boymoding in Ningbo. Ningboymoding.

Had to swap my pfp to the one from thanksgiving, it just makes me smile every time I see it 🧡

Crimes of the Future (David Cronenberg, 2022)

Losing your job is not a disaster. It’s a setback, and you can rise above it. Losing your integrity is a disaster. It’s a watermark that will forever define you.

cis professors: what's so scary about this is that any one of us could be next! christian fundamentalists: we will target and drive every tranny from academia. universities: will win ban every tranny to make you happy cis professor: yes. any one of us. there is simply no way of ever knowing.

They call me the number 68 the way that everyone who surrounds me is way funnier than I am

My pfp is from 20 years ago, I'm much happier to have found my way back to the joy I see in little kid me's eyes than to dwell on the poor thing from 10 years ago that didn't know how to love themselves

I will never share actual work details, but just know I'm having a great week at long last 🎉 paradigm shifting materials research, at least within my narrow field

*Aqualung riff*

I just want to wear boy clothes, have nice tits and get "ma'am" thrown at me more than "sir" and HRT helped me achieve that.

Nobody told me Garak was in Hellraiser?!? I would have watched this movie wayyyy sooner!

happy international mens day to this guy

I hate The Rainbow Fish. That octopus is full of shit, your friends should love you for what makes you unique and not demand that you tear off pieces of yourself for their benefit.

the hardest part about being trans is being forced to accept that your family probably kinda sucks, whereas if you're cis you can likely tolerate only seeing your lead-poisoned uncle a few times a year because "oh he's family". we don't really get the comfort nor convenience of cognitive dissonance.

Everyone tells me "oh you can get caught up on documentation in Q4” but this is a damned lie. There is always zero time to write, you must make time to write.

i sorta used to think "lesbian" was a clunky term too until i really started living it and now i feel like its perfect, almost onomatopoeia it evokes femininity and sensuality outside of the heterosexual paradigm it's such a beautiful word

In my day we called this "playing Valorant"

dawg why do i have bigger tits than like half the women in columbo were they nerfing their tits with smoking that hard??

there's a big difference between denying happiness and temporary inconvenience doing more chores because it will help your partner? temporary inconvenience but happiness is nice denying your transition for the sake of your partner? please treat yourself better, you deserve to be happy

hey i hope your day goes okay. i hope you rest if you need it and take a step or two toward your goals if you’re able to and give yourself grace if you can’t

How do other lesbians handle the jingling of their keys on the carabiner? I always give up and tuck them into my pocket

being trans is a decision to me. because it's hard, we don't do it unless it's the right one. being cis is also a decision to me. because it's easy, people pick it by accident all the time i tire of the story where we naturalize everything. every day you live as cis is your decision. are you happy?

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!

Received a lot of compliments on my lara croft costume, which is funny because it's definitely the laziest costume I've ever done. Turns out if you have a blue shirt with the right neckline, some brown shorts, and any sort of leather gear, you too can be lara croft

and I mean, being cis is easy in the same way that pissing in your bed instead of getting up to use the toilet is easy.

Vietnamese banh nam and Chinese Zhongzi are the same thing

There's a hole in the bottom of the trashcan and he grows underground like a big green ginger root. Jim Henson confided that in me before he died.

I did not realize that the fabled Teen Vogue politics section was one person.

Someone at the convention I was at last night complemented me by saying I looked angelic, which is such high praise coming from a nonbinary Medievalist 😭

womanhood is a thing you do. it is not a thing your body is or isn't

Tolkien probably would have said fuck just on the grounds of it being Anglo-Saxon.
