It was only a good day because I had to completely disconnect from the world and find a tiny bit of the inner sparkle that I usually keep in reserve.
Keep strong, my friends and remember that we have each other.

April 18 is my transition anniversary. Despite being very late to bloom, I must admit it’s been an incredible 7 years of learning who I am.

What we're currently living through is a patriarchal panic reaction.

Our society came a little too close to acknowledging trans people as not merely quirky zoo exhibits to gawk at on the margins of society. Too close to acknowledging our humanity.

The response to this has been sheer terror.

Frozen fingers, stiff neck and a delightfully runny nose but not much of a chance I’ll catch any meteor shower action tonight. The ice crystals lit by the full moon are beautiful though.

When life gets tough and things start to go wrong all around you, it's a shame that you don't get automatically moved closer to the front of the good luck list. My father passed this morning. May he rest in peace.

On Friday my father suffered from a stroke. Spent the past 4 days by his side holding his hand and talking to him when he was alert. Was hoping that tonight would bring some joy for my friends across the border. Going to bed still optimistic.πŸ’›

At age 70, after 6 years on HRT this is my comfort zone appearance. These have been the happiest years of my entire life and I'm so glad that I got here in time to enjoy it.
