Three Prides make a #TransitionTimeline

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.

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 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.

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.)

Here in Winnipeg for Mothers' Day, they replaced the air with smoke. It's great. :(

Me: Brain, please stop drafting three books at once.

Brain: ooooh, you know what the FIFTH book in the series should be?! Listen to this...

Okay time to put on my big girl boots and unload two storage containers. I'm gonna try to take it slow and safe, but pray for me and my back.

Things I Did Not Expect From Transition #4037:

How much I literally squeal over cute stuff.

Beekeeper. Fun movie. Close to the apotheosis of Jason Statham movies. The Stathingularity.

Me to my stomach: I just fed you three hours ago! We had a ton of biryani! What more could you possibly want?

My stomach: MORE BIRYANI!!!

Sigh. I just unfollowed the #bloomscrolling hashtag. It used to drop pictures of flowers in my feed, but recently it's more ads for paintings of flowers and people posting walls of text. I'm really bummed; that hashtag was a big early chunk of my enthusiasm for the fediverse. :(

Looked in the mirror for bedtime ablutions and burst out laughing because I got away with it, this absurd thing that I believed for so long was completely impossible, but there I am in the mirror looking like myself.

Crying and then feeling better afterwards remains super fucking weird but also incredible.

miriamrobern, 1 month ago to random

are we sure that screaming and burning it all down won’t fix things? like have we tested that?
