Being sick is getting real old

Reliquary w/ scene of the murder of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury & turbulent priest, which occurred on this day in 1170.

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

Illness has reached the "just feel like crap and don't wanna do anything" stage

I installed a knowledge base app on a virtual private server so my fiancée and I could organize our roleplaying campaign and in-universe side stories that we write for each other. That is something I did today

The way Rob Huebel says "you've kept it tight" and "GET OFF MILF ISLAND" will be engraved in my synapses until my last breath

So is one of Trump's Mar-a-Lago boys a marble dealer or something? I know that his brain stopped forming new ideas in the 1980s so he thinks covering everything with marble and gold is the most elegant and deluxe thing ever but he seems really fixated on it this time around

Polygamy but it's just the same wife multiple times

I would agree to marry her twice if the province of Ontario legally permitted it

In case you needed to see a cat in a beret

Made myself a nice tall thermos of Marcy's Magic Sinus Potion. It has no medicinal effect but feels nice and distracts me from sniffling and coughing. Freeze-dried lime powder, pomegranate molasses, and a pinch of citric acid mixed into boiling water.

Got a cold. Not too bad so far, but kind of annoying. I got up, showered, shaved, etc. just in case i get sicker over the weekend and don't feel like doing it. Luckily I already rescheduled the laser I was going to do today.

My dad got me a scarf 🥰

My friend made me a shawl for Christmas! It's beautiful. There are little beads around the edge, too.

Very rude when I wake up there's not a cute lesbian in my bed 😤

I had a dream where I was in a dress and I was face to face with an angry JD Vance, who was clearly wearing lifts. After our confrontation I thought he might have me arrested but instead he just posted on social media about how I was fat and sweaty. Then I played pool. Hopefully prophetic

Today I keep on getting too emotional about things that don't really matter. I was in physical pain all day and now I'm in emotional turmoil and it's just exhausting.

I am a patient boy [sic] I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait My time is like water down a drain Everybody's moving, everybody's moving, Everybody's moving moving moving moving Please don't leave me to remain In the waiting room

"You ain't really allowed to do that" Albert said, feeling wretched. THE HOGFATHER CAN. THE HOGFATHER GIVES PRESENTS. THERE IS NO BETTER PRESENT THAN THE FUTURE.

It might be conceited to repost this, but I just want to say that I am unbelievably lucky. Fortunate beyond words. Every time the dark clouds gather in my soul it just takes a few words from her to blow them away. I have never known anyone else like her, and I doubt I ever will.

The Berlin communications museum is wonderful if you're into this kind of thing

When I think about how we found each other, I feel like someone emerging from a desert, hungry thirsty and worn, who entered the first building she saw in search of succor, a casino. They offered a free pull and I took it, and I hit the jackpot

@anitmata.bsky.social and I have already gotten to the "spending our nights playing cards*" stage of marriage and the wedding hasn't even happened yet. Ain't love grand? (* online Sentinels of the Multiverse)

Second blood test results after 5+ months of 0.2mg/day transdermal estradiol (monotherapy): 133 pg/mL estradiol, 8 ng/dL testosterone. Both in the range desired for feminizing hormone therapy.

Furnace is fucked. Going to be something between "quite expensive" and "insanely expensive" to fix. I'm glad it's not super cold right now because it might take a while to get it sorted out. Ugh

Furnace is out so I'm wearing my coat inside. Shaved and did makeup for about five minutes of interacting with a technician. I think I might be the only person working today. To be honest, I like days like that.

Trying not to let myself slip into a late-night bout of morbid introspection. The turn of the year is always a difficult time for me, but I have always kept my candle burning, and this year it is brighter than it has been in decades. The new year will begin, the sun will rise, spring will come.

it's not an "edge router" unless the packets never quite make it to their destination

I like big butts and I cannot lie, and this is my partner, who likes big butts and cannot tell the truth

It's cold in my house today and I want to stay in bed

First real attempt at makeup (I used a bit of concealer and tinted lip gloss before this), 2025-06-14 vs Last month, 2025-11-02 (about as glammed up as I get) vs This morning (this is closer to my everyday)

Giving mascara a proper shot now that I've found stuff that doesn't immediately clump. I kind of hate putting it on but it does look nice once I have. Also, very glad that my skin has mostly recovered from my trip to Canada (it was less the climate than my routine falling apart).

As told by the late dancer and choreographer Agnes DeMille.

I woke up this morning and remembered that yesterday afternoon I was feeling so overwhelmed that I couldn't stop crying. After spending the evening with my darling I almost forgot I'd ever been upset. When I'm with her, all of my doubts and uncertainties melt away like frost in the morning sun.

Just call me the next SungWon Cho

Speaking of which, when item #1 happens we are planning to do some kind of virtual reception thing on Discord. I would say "save the date" but there isn't one yet. Will keep you posted

Goals for 2026 (preliminary) * Get married * Stay employed * Apply to emigrate to Canada to live with my wife * Walk more * Lose weight * Lift heavy objects until I am strong enough to pick up said wife

you may have noticed i've posted a lot about Babes today. It's because I think they're good

Hey I have Transition Goals now

Yeah I'm gonna marry her. Gonna be her wife and stuff

the full speech is something to see & is one of the reasons it is good to have a trans member of congress youtu.be/5LqVMCW4e0c?...

"Pornhub for Enterprise™️ seat" got my ass

Second hormone test blood draw complete. Hard to believe it's been half a year.

Art so nice.

You cried like a little bi-- ISAAC CHOTINER: The English Patient was released in theatres in 1996. ME: Uh so where is this going exactly CHOTINER: And you saw it with your then-girlfriend in 1997. ME: And how did you get in here

I've spent the last three weeks wrestling with Wake Up Dead Man. Here are some of my thoughts—I have many more. I am wildly grateful to talk about art that deals seriously with the world we've created, and somehow still holds on to hope. reactormag.com/entirely-too...

We are making something beautiful together. That's what we're here for.

Glad I could meet up with my good friend while she was in town! Lunch was good too
