This is my most-liked post of all time, and I fully had no idea how much I was describing myself when I wrote it. I just thought I was a binary trans woman

Feels a little more self-serving in hindsight, but maybe I was pushing myself to be open-minded about myself πŸ’™

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Today was a significantly better day than the long weekend. Starting to think it might actually be my cycle with how routine it's been.

Life is far more than productivity, but it's been good to accomplish something!

Finished a grant application (well, for round one of three...) after spending three days depressed!!!

I'm really excited about this project so I really hope we get all the way through and get to make this happen πŸ’–

I do not like the direction global politics is heading. I really, really don't like it 😬

I'm staring at her holding the door open to her DMs and panicking about walking through because she's pretty

In the same boat! And like I'm not good at meeting that need yet but I'm better than I was. Genuine recognition is an enormous first step. Proud of you, Gin πŸ«‚πŸ’•

I truly ADORE sour cream. Could eat it straight from the tub. Somehow this is not my weirdest food habits

Baked potatoes in a bowl, covered in sour cream and cheese. The image is very dark from a lack of lighting.

(poorly lit) baked potatoes for tea. Mostly as a vehicle for butter, cheese, and sour cream πŸ˜‹

I'm still getting used to the fact I'm disabled but it's just invisible. Just so used to working against my capacity and accommodations, it's hard to break the habit

Age verification for R-rated games and websites raises privacy concerns New online safety codes requiring R-rated games and websites to verify their users' ages come into effect, prompting concerns about online privacy.

Speaking as a digital media expert, I really think it's about time we abolish the eSafety Commissioner

What would it be like to feel emotionally regulated? Maybe one day I'll find out

It's 2026.

Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician.

Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist.

Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).

This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

anyone else got this weird thing where the future seems utterly, inescapably bleak, such that to think about it is to invite an all-consuming despair into your mind. and you still have to do paperwork
