The start of my rockery. Gunna need more rocks I think. More flowers to be sown and snuggled into the gaps.

A large fern flanked by two small rock features, each one granite block, one succulent, and a handful of stones.
A larger succulent surrounded by three granite blocks, a smaller succulent, and a bunch of white stones. There's a fern to one side of it and an evergreen shrub on the other.

All right, I want to ask the folks who love cats and follow the #CatsOfMastodon hashtag a question. Many of you have probably already seen me posting about Ginza, the feral cat I was able to convince to give up being a feral cat and move inside with me.

I've sometimes wondered and I get puzzled by the descriptions on the internet where Ginza is a type of tortie cat? Of course she has tabby markings and stripes on her, but she also has blotches of white. Here are some pics.

Overhead shot of Ginza on the bed showing how she has black stripes on her legs.
Ginza underneath a rocking chair and enjoying the sunshine coming in through the windows. Her white bib on her chest can be seen. She also has a white belly. Her front two paws are white mittens. Unseen are her back paws which are white socks.

Every fortnight I review the last two weeks of Fedi to see what I need to bring up in therapy.

One day in beautiful #edinburgh what to do?
So far I'm planning on 2 (maybe 3) charity shops and high tea at Luckenboots and walk around the centre
Any other tips?

Because Voyager 1 is so far from Earth, it takes almost 23 hours for a command to reach it at the speed of light, and the same for a response to reach us back, for a total of close to 50 hours.

Which means that interactions with Voyager 1, currently around 15 billion miles away, are still faster than many Microsoft Windows updates.

Feel like I've unlocked some sort of bigender self-care cheat code here. 😁

"Enough time has elapsed since I Did The Bad Thing, I would like to be uncancelled."

"Ok, how have you changed in the time since that happened?"

"I went to therapy."

"And...?"

"I've reflected internally on the feelings that led me to make the choices I did."

"Yes, but have you reached out to those affected by your actions and attempted to make amends?"

"Huh?"

"Have you even acknowledged that your actions caused harm, both directly and societally?"

"Huh?"

"How can we expect that giving you a platform now won't lead to exactly the same outcome as the last time you had a platform?"

"I'm a good person!"

"...it's gonna be a no."

"But Enough Time Has Elapsed™!"

All right, I've gotta show you something funny.

This is a pretransition pic of me. In a costume I made. For Halloween.

And taught class in.

If trying to make dysphoria a joke was a picture:

Oh god I was talking about Utena earlier and how it was my favourite anime in my university days, and... it just struck me how much of a role model Utena became for me:

• unapologetically her (queer) self
• kind-hearted and forgiving by default; she never goes looking for trouble
• but when it finds her, she's exactly as tough and brave as she needs to be
• fiercely protective of her friends, and critical of injustice
• really good with a sword

Now that I have returned to okcupid and they insist on showing me straight people, my random sampling of straight people in southern California on the app has revealed an important finding: being straight is bad for your skin!!!?!

Seriously though, why do so many straight, cis women my age look like they are 10 or 20 years older than me? And like, I am used to us trans girls having estrogenated vampire skin, but even the cis lesbians have healthy skin well into their 40s and 50s.

Wanted to go to #TransPrideLondon this year but it's too far to go just for the day, and I don't have anyone to hang with down there. A shame if I'll have to cancel those plans.

What advice would you give to someone just starting out in a relationship?

Mine might sound kind of dark in relation to the question, but here goes:

People change, and they should, it's part of being a person. Some people are lucky, and they change in the same direction, but some don't, and that's okay too. There's no shame in leaving a relationship or changing the nature of a relationship that no longer serves you. We are all taught that every relationship, whether romantic or friendship, is supposed to last forever, but nothing is forever, and forcing something that no longer works, just ends in anger and bitterness. Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on through a rough patch, and how to know either of those things is the most cliché advice of all, COMMUNICATE.
