Being a transfemme in your 30s is spending a not insignificant amount of time looking back at your teens and 20s and going, "FUCK."

I took my first bike ride around the neighborhood since we moved in, roughly 30 minutes. I came across this handsome blue heron during the ride. #birds

I’m still awake and now it’s time to make it everyone else’s problem! (I’m still riding the high of my steroid injection to fight off this monster of a cold. Had I know I’d be so wired, I would have aimed to get this closer to the morning rather than the middle of the afternoon).

The steroid shot I got today has given me such zoomies. Great for doing stuff this afternoon but now, that I wish to go to bed, very inconvenient. I’m sure I will settle in soon enough and be able to tackle tomorrow with vim and vigor.

That final set of wings is definitely worth the price of admission for DT. *insert obligatory General Grevious Meme* #ffxiv

After sitting in the doctor's office for 2ish hours, I'm now on an antibiotic, some industrial-strength cough syrup, and a steroid shot. I'm feeling waaay better and should be back up to my usual crimes by next week. tbh, I've missed getting a full night's sleep and feeling functional.

Seeing Meteor take up the scythe at the end of the Evercold trailer makes me feel like he's honoring his "best friend". Which is just like having Zenos there. YoshiP can take Zenos out of the narrative, but he can never take Zenos out of my heart. #Zenos #ffxiv #evercold #nowgivemethebuttslider

It’s so odd (but good) to hear people refer to me as ‘Miss Rina’ in public. It’s a small burst of seratonine to help me through my day. #transgoals

@partyingway.bsky.social Are you a fan of #Shinryu or #Zenos or giant dragons? Come celebrate our best friend turned dragon at the #ShinryuAP . All are welcome to come art or just hang out! No combat experience will be required! #shinryuap #shinryuartparty

Day 7 of HRT! I’ve been feeling way better since I started (the euphoria is real). I can’t wait to talk to my therapist about my experience.

So, who’s ready for Super God-King Kefka… with turbo? I sure ain’t. #ffxiv #ffxivultimate #dancing_mad_ultimate

It’s E day! Time to enter the next stage of my life.

Finally after weeks of waiting, I got my diagnosis. It’s Autism! I also got a psychological diagnosis of gender dysphoria and now have an appointment to see my endocrinologist to start HRT. Fingers crossed they will give me the 🏳️‍⚧️E🏳️‍⚧️.

Animal abuser has been reported to the police. I tried calling SCPA but they don’t have the resources to investigate this but they directed me to the police. I’m hoping they can find something and shut that bastard down.

I just found the worst pet store for birds. All of the parrots were being held in small cages, had uniform perches, and were being fed an all seed diet. As a bird owner who takes good care of their feathered children, I was hurt seeing how distressed they were.

"When will I ever need to know how to write an essay in real life?" Today. That day is today. (continued below) #transrights #transhealth #transwomen theneedlenews.com/anti-trans-h...

I suppose on a lighter topic, after I spent ~2 hours writing a 7k essay defending HRT for trans women, my wife made me some salmon for dinner which meant I got to scrape the stuck salmon skin off the tray with my bare hands like some sort of feral animal I love her so much

If you would allow me a moment to vent, moving is awful. This move has been the worst one yet and has only been complicated by our apartment complex’s idiotic management who don’t seem to understand preventative maintenance. Because of it, I’m three months behind on everything. 1/2

I was surprised at the variety of questions I was asked today as apart of my autism diagnosis. The one that caught my attention was a word association between paragraph and brick. My response was ‘Both are used to send a message.’

After 5 hours of intensive testing, I am one step closer to getting a diagnosis for my (probable) autism, and my gender dysphoria.

Finished fallout season 2. Overall, I really enjoyed it. While this season had a lot of set up for future seasons, I did like the story it told and how our characters grew. I was a bit surprised how they used Chekov’s rad roach. I’m excited to see what season 3 will give us.

Maybe this is a hot take but I liked the portrayal of Caesar’s Legion in the Fallout tv show. My memory of the legion from New Vegas is Caesar was the main reason the legion was as successful as it was and for him to die without naming an heir would plunge his forces into chaos. 1/3

The most unrealistic thing about Fallout Season 2 is anyone willingly going to Bakersfield.

I still laugh at how silly Gundam Seed Freedom is. There’s so much wrong with the film but I’d be lying if the final 40 minutes weren’t some of the most entertaining parts of the Cosmic Era timeline.

just girly things

Today’s the first day in about a month I feel like writing or have anything resembling a creative spark. (My burnout has been bad) It’s not going to be much but I’m glad I can at least get a few hundred words down before breaking for lunch. #writerslife #writingstruggles

A quick update from me before I return to my plotting corner.

Well, I somehow survived 2025. Man that was a rough year. Here’s to 2026 being a better year for all of us.

Some days I will be minding my own business working on something and my brain will yeet the word ‘fujoshi’ at me. Honestly brain, why do you do that? What am I supposed to do with this information? My brain: not my problem and my job is done! *flees into the night like it’s tuxedo mask.*

#DecemberWorldbuilders Day: 5 While people can still get colds and the flu, there are a few ailments unique to my world. One of the more dangerous infections is from a parasitic fungus. Once its spores take root, it spreads and attempts to take over its host’s central nervous system.

I’m in the chills phase of being sick. Hopefully I can shake this illness quick.

Well, two of my friends are sick with some kinda bug. Given how low energy I’ve been the past few days, I’m thinking I’ve caught it and am fighting it off.

my favourite drug is taking hits of imagining my characters in hyper-realistic cool movie scenes from the non-existent adaptation of my novel

Today's unhinged idea has manifested as Don Bologna, the meanest, and shortest, mobster who runs the desert city of Deli with an iron fist. Really he's a decent guy, just don't owe him money. You may not live long enough to regret it.

#DecemberWorldbuilders Most of the stories I have set in Sylvius take place in the equivalent of the 1920s. There are cars, tractors, indoor plumbing, airships, etc. Many of the worlds modern conveniences have been made possible from adventurers going into ruins and finding lost technology. 1/3

Moments before launch. #budgie #parakeet #cutepet

You know what, AI can never beat a human writer because AI isn't unhinged enough. Could AI write a dramatic thumb wrestling scene between a deadbeat gambler and a space accountant? I highly doubt it.

is the gingerbread gamecube my magnum opus?

I did not expect to write a dramatic thumb wrestling scene today but here we are.
