You ever just look in the mirror and laugh because no seriously what the fuck must have happened to make this possible? Like reality broke, right? It's the only possible explanation.

I've never seen a snowmobile in real life before. There's one in the back of a pickup truck and it's the weirdest looking machine.

Okay I thought the family would enjoy enchiladas and made a big batch so there'd be leftovers but they just DEMOLISHED the whole thing.

Counting this as a #TradWife victory.

Like I know intellectually that most of my life is unchanged from two or three years ago but it all feels completely different and new.

Things in my life used to matter but now they MATTER. There were things I liked but now I love them. What used to trigger a hollow, abstract aesthetic appreciation (the best my heart could do then) now gets this glorious full-body joy.

Transition is magic.

It's just "girl pretty." I don't think anybody uses it as an expression of interest they propose to act upon.

Trans reflections:

When i was a guy, i was often assumed to be like 5 years older than I was, and often treated as more mature and knowledgable than I actually was. I was seen as an absent-minded professor type, and given grace in my mistakes and treated as very credible (the persuasiveness of confident white man voice is dangerous).

As a woman, i am often assumed to be roughly 10 years younger than i am (estrogenated vampire skin!), and people assume I am inexperienced or don't know how to do a lot of things. Meanwhile, now, I have over a decade and a half of nonprofit management and community engagement experience, I am a published trans studies scholar who teaches queer and trans studies, I run a program serving hundreds of trans youth across the country, and more. I've lived in 5 radically different countries and speak 3 languages. And like...I'm now often talked down too and seen as inexperienced and discounted as probably not knowing much.

Yay misogyny~~~~~

Serious question: when and in which contexts did calling people "individuals" emerge as a common practice, as a synonym for people? Or "an individual" for "a person"?

I ask because I'm noticing it in student writing, and I associate it with police-speak. I don't know if it's in some corners of social science or medicine too

@inquiline @billseitz Are the students using generative "AI" to draft their papers?

It's Monday Morning... for about thirty more minutes. I'm taking it easy today because it's May Long Weekend here in Canada.

But the rest of the week I'll be doing layout on Xine Two and TorchLite, and writing a little New Girl at Uskweirs.

What about you? What are you making this week?

I said I was going to make this forever ago, and I finally did!

The primary obstacle turned out to be finding a white tank top that didn't stretch into transparency the moment I pulled it on. H&M, of all places, had the six dollar solution. (As long as I only wear certain bras.)

I'm not even sure who was in the original thread. I wanna say @storybead and @Impossible_PhD? Probably others?

Got pulled over. Auto registration lapsed while we were distracted by, y'know, everything.

Police officer was apologetic and solicitous with me, all smiles, and then asked for my license (with my deadname) and disappeared into his car. For a long time.

…

miriamrobern,
@miriamrobern@dice.camp avatar

He then returned and offered my kid and I a ride to autopac nearby to renew registration. Better than a ticket, he reasonably pointed out.

Just, y'know, make myself and my kid really fucking vulnerable right after he looked up my deadname.

That's not terrifying as fuck.

But I took him up on his offer. He and his partner chatted merrily as they delivered us to the mall.

Thanked them profusely, walked into the mall, and collapsed as soon as the doors closed behind me.

No conclusion, just. That happened. I should calm back down in, like, a week.

The youngest just called me 'Mom' instead of 'Mimsy' and wow I didn't know how much I need that.

(I love 'Mimsy' but sometimes it feels like mom-with-an-asterisk.)
