🚘

let me fuckin tell u :) I am so pleased about this just as I am driving across the whole fuckin country 👏 seeing diesel at almost $6 in some spots.

on paper a 5 to 7 day drive seems reasonable but holy shit, man…’this is So Much

this drive is just gonna take as long as it takes. I had hoped I could do it in under a week, but I don’t think that’s happening. My stamina for the road is severely low, I fear. I may stay a couple nights with my uncle in Utah. Rest up, spend some time with them, pay 0 dollars for lodging…

if you want to hear some truly fascinating men talk, go sit in a Dennys in Illinois! You’ll get to hear their perspectives on “females” and “kids these days”. I didn’t even have to pay for this! Fascinating, genuinely.

day 3 of da drive! destination of the day is Jefferson City, MO.

I am a weak bitch and cannot do more than 8 GPS hours. 💀

Insanely powerful of you!!! The shop update grind

so far so good. Sorry I never got to make it down for dinner. Maybe we can find some good Japanese during FWA!!

I’m celebrating by being flat as fuck

my sweet & powerful workhorse of a car. Can’t wait to do something about the peeling on the hood so it doesn’t look like such a shitbox lol

Struggling w/ inclines & a acceleration but that’s to be expected w/ how heavy she is rn

kisses each individual down feather on their little heads

Orbit I thought I was holding grief. Tonight I see grief is holding me. Not with a vice grip. Not with a fist. More the way gravity holds the earth to the sun-a force without which our planet would lose all warmth, all life. Love has many names. Grief is one, and I am grateful tonight for the way it tethers me not only to pain but to beauty, goodness, connection. Tonight I see grief not as a problem to be solved but as an energy to explore, to move with, to circle what is beloved. There is some comfort even in knowing it will never let me go. It is right that it should hold me, even as I turn and turn. -Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

runs to ur home to pet her some more

made it to Buffalo area. Rained most of the time. Hope tomorrow is better.

adore these ♥️

saved by virtue of not being there yet lmao

had a couple friend crash spots lined up that fell through which is kind of a bummer. Staying with my uncle in Utah. hoping some other critters might be able to house me along the way. Fine if not, but damn if I’m not ready to stop hemorrhaging funds

car completely packed. ready to leave tomorrow. Tempted to leave today, but I think I need to take the rest of today & decompress as much as possible before the journey. Gonna take it day by day as much as I can and try not to stress too much. I am no stranger to a long drive. Just a lot.

I’m right there with u. Sometimes I will open animal crossing for a little while before bed but mostly I think my time is better spent doing literally anything else

Lord of the Rings comfort movie hours. Snowing outside … done for the day. Got most of my stuff out. Car mostly packed. Dealing with straggling objects tomorrow and leaving on Thursday. I could leave tomorrow if I crunched all day but :) I don’t really wanna do that!

chances of getting pulled over are low but .. what if it happens? Am I driving illegally because I have an X marker?? This is all so fake and fucking stupid I even have to think about it.

hmm. I don’t know how to feel about driving thru Kansas rn. My route has me spanning the entire length of the state. Florida and Texas are “do not travel” states for trans folk, but I’ve never really felt threatened by them. Kansas rescinding validity of IDs with an alternate gender marker tho..?

the bad news is that the only real way you find out whether or not you can trust someone is to treat them as if you already trust them and risk getting hurt, because some people will betray that trust. the good news is that if you keep trying, you will find a lot of love and it will be worth it all

👁️ this rulez

lmao yeah… it’s a forever journeyyyy

something ELSE came up that I dropped the ball on but it is fixed and I dealt with it & I am normal now :) 👍

everyone should!! Triangle migration west!!!

mattress fits in my roof rack!! This is a real powerful win for me 😎

also fixable, but so far this week I am 300 dollars in the hole for shit I’ve fucked up and I’m just :) man. I hate this whole process and can’t wait for it to be over

maybe I’m a hater, but I do not like any of the new pokemon starters. They’re bland as hell. Maybe their evolutions will be cool, but I’m not holding out for that. Probably wont play the game because I don’t have much time in my life for video game anymore

yeah basically all the New England states except NH are normal about trans people
