Today's Rambles: I Want to Wake Up Each Day with a Resolve to Be Brave About Being Myself, Even If I Get It “Wrong” Content note: chronic pain, PMDD, surgery, relationships, reflection, nonviolent communication

I've written a new #Substack post! I've been rereading Marshall Rosenberg's #NonviolentCommunication. This one is about observation without evaluation, survival mode vs. living, #chronicpain, #disability, guilt, and wanting to be braver (I have surgery tomorrow morning, so the timing felt right).

Living as Rebellion (Body Updates, Political Dread, and More About Choosing Myself) Content notes: chronic illness, bladder conditions, surgery, fertility, state violence, death, neurodivergence, grief, isolation

New Substack post in which I write about the things I'm holding right now, like surgery prep, political dread, grief, hope, the fear of going outside, and the refusal to let any of it make me smaller.

Who Gets a Say? Content notes: polyamory, non-monogamy, relationships, infertility, pregnancy scares, breakups, grief

New #Substack post! I briefly wrote about navigating big life decisions in #polyamorous and relationship anarchist contexts, prompted by a conversation card that called me out personally. I also include a list of poly/ENM resources.

Long-Term Goals, Not Resolutions Content notes: chronic illness, fertility, mental health

I am not pregnant (and I wanted to be), and I started my period today, and I'm not having a good time in my body.

I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions anymore, but I wrote down some long-term goals anyway. #Substack

neurotypical woman @femaleguy2: i used to have this opinion and i still do in some minor ways, but an important realization i had was that in the same way nobody owes the world androgyny or adherence to expectations of binary gender, nobody owes the world classification or categorization in that respect. Halimede @HalimedeMF • 18h: "it/its" ughhhh you are missing! the! point! You are Human. Do you think you just fell out of a coconut tree? We already have a set of pronouns and social role historically denoting objectification, in much more interesting and sexually compelling...

neurotypical woman @femaleguy2•2h i think there's something to be said about What We Call Human in that it's historically been too narrow for cultures around the world and looking at the current neopronoun culture as a communal trauma response to dehumanization writ large helps me mind my own business and be kind 121 У 13 Ill 227 贝 neurotypical woman @femaleguy2 • 2h and what's more human than adapting to hardship in strange new ways that keep us alive? does my instinctual craving for pattern and understanding of a system outweigh any individual's right to navigate the world in a way best suited to their survival? i don't think it does -

in case anyone was wondering how i felt about the subject now

I'm very raw here. I don't niche down, and I don't polish the hard parts out.

If that sounds like your vibe, welcome. If not, no hard feelings.

Sometimes I post poetry. Sometimes I post data or more technical stuff. Sometimes I post about my fertility journey, my chronic illness, or my gender.

#poetry #chronicillness #fertilityjourney #writing

What to expect: long-form posts about disability, queerness, healthcare, spiritual practices, data visualization, polyamory and relationship anarchy, healing, neurodivergence, and whatever else I'm fixating on.

I just updated my Substack's About page to be more upfront about my positionality, my assumptions about sex and gender, and how I write (em and en dashes everywhere, parenthetical asides, and holding contradictions without resolving them).

#writing #writinglife #substack

(Hence: "Overqualified Oversharing" being the name of my Substack.)

I'm non-binary and genderfluid. I love makeup and dresses. I also want to medically transition. These aren't contradictions; clothes and makeup don't have gender.

I'm an Indian-Bengali-American data scientist, writer, and artist. I have a PhD in Biomedical Informatics, I'm pursuing solo parenthood (which means I paused HRT), and I process everything by writing about it publicly.

Hello! I'm Golapri Rose (they/he/ze). I'm reintroducing my Substack, because a lot has shifted since I first started this Substack in 2024:

#substack #introduction #writer #chronicillness #disability #queer #nonbinary #trans #findingmyvoice #poetry #prose #rambles

I'm sending y'all love, and I hope people are gentle and kind with themselves 😃 (I know I'm very intentionally reminding myself of this too.)

Happy holidays y'all. Please check in on your fellow queers and people who are estranged from friends or family. Even if someone is surrounded by loved ones, this time can feel especially isolating and triggering.

Feeling My Body Through the Longest Night Content notes: chronic illness, hypermobility diagnosis, fertility journey, gender dysphoria, body image, real-time processing, capacity, relationships, sitting in uncertainty

Happy Solstice! New Substack about being in a body holding a lot: new diagnosis, fertility, dysphoria, and befriending shame instead of waiting until you've healed enough to deserve your own presence. #disability #chronicillness #blog #reflection

drrosedasgupta.substack.com/p/feeling-my...

Existing While Feeling Like You Need to Arrive Somewhere Content notes: executive dysfunction, fertility journey, past relationships, grief, polyamory, liminal spaces, mythology, self-worth

I have a tendency to optimize my way through uncertainty instead of just existing. :/

Wrote about that today... and about boundaries, interior victories, and putting your shoulder to the boulder again.

and I’m committed to learning the ways I can care for them in that experience so I don’t make it unduly challenging for them to meet those insecurities within themselves.” @lavitaloca34.bsky.social

(Absolutely, I'm trying to work on this myself) #polyamory

@lavitaloca34.bsky.social : "“While I am not responsible FOR the insecurities of my partners, I acknowledge that I can have an impact on their EXPERIENCE of their insecurities..." (continued)

#polyamory

Work has been intense, I'm hoping to finish Advent of Code this week in a sprint

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

This year, why not do the #AdventOfCode in #Haskell with your polycule?
