Oh that's better

It's a bit sad that a group of gorillas isn't called a konglomerate

They'd go great with these insane boots a friend and I saw last night

Yo girl just launched SideTracker - your new friend to help remember which side is next up for gel or injections!

How the hell did I miss that wordplay it was RIGHT THERE omg

Bravo 👏

Which pharmacy do I get this compounded at??

im panicking about everything going on today in the world

but i also don't have the ability to change it, so im just going to do my work, do my best to get through it,and hope that the worst doesn't come to pass

seek out those close, talk to them if you need to. community and conversation helps.

Damn it Alyson Greaves how do you have such an effortless way of reaching into my psyche and making me reflect on things this isn't playing fair like come on

I still hope for the day my parents can get over their attitude of making this all about them and make an effort to have a relationship with their eldest daughter.

But I'm not holding my breath. I've already wasted too much of my life on anticipation of their reactions.

I guess I'm reflecting on how much that affects me, in colouring my fears for other people as well, that their families may not accept them, let alone support them.

In how it coloured my fears for a fictional young trans woman, and then the odd feelings I'm reconciling that her family is TRYING.

It's bittersweet to be proven right after all these many years. But also cathartic.

I don't hate or blame myself for not coming out when I was young.

Because that little girl that didn't get to be one... in my childhood environment, she never stood a chance anyway.

One of the biggest factors in me not coming out as trans when I was younger, before puberty even hit, was fear of how my parents would react. Fear that I wouldn't be accepted or supported.

My parents have not taken news of my transness well. The little contact there's been has been insistent deadnaming (in writing) and insensitive (at best) social posts like sharing petitions to ban puberty blockers (but only for trans kids, of course)

Goddamn, I was afraid for Steph going into this reunion with her family, anticipating rejection and bigotry.

And reading (I've just started this chapter) about how her parents are immediately TRYING, and doing their best to be respectful...

And I'm, once again, feeling envy for Steph.

Spoilers for the prior chapter ahead:

I'm a simple girl. I see well crafted pixels, and I'm happy.

This makes me happy ☺️ nice expressiveness!!

I watched my girlfriend play it for a bit and am heartbroken it's not on Mac or Switch 😭 I WANT IT

New concept: a Siobhan that is asleep between the hours of 3-5am rather than laying there wishing she was asleep

Yeeeeeep.

Finished with ELECTRO NINE: ELECTRIC BOOGALINE!

Permanently! Or at least, as long as I have the means to keep making them! ☺️

Ping me when you do! ☺️🥰

Aaaah thank you so much 😭 signal boosting is so appreciated. I'm genuinely really happy with it and glad a bunch of people are finding it useful, the biggest challenge is honestly letting people (who could use it) know it exists! ❤️

Well hi, I'll share my little project...

I designed EstroBox, a friendly and helpful little case for estrogen sachets sometimes used in HRT! (Mine's been sooo handy!)

Great for cis women using it to deal with menopause, too!

It's not a case of "no ethical consumption under capitalism".

It's not "Yeah we should reduce mining unrenewables, but so much infrastructure is dependent on them."

It's not "Cheap clothing manufacture often exploits labour, but I still need cheap clothes"

Funding JK is not a necessary evil.

A person's actions made in ignorance are forgivable.

But once someone becomes aware of new information, it's up to them how they respond to it.

And it's heartbreaking that so many people needlessly choose a morally reprehensible path.

And honestly? When Joanne keels over and dies, assuming her estate or family doesn't carry on her vile crusade, I'll barely care. At that point, engage with HP all you like, but only once doing so ceases to fund trans genocide.

It's really, really not a hard concept to grasp.

FIND NEW MEDIA! There is a veritable OCEAN of incredible creative works out there to find meaning and community in that DON'T fund human rights violations.

Acting as though it's HP or nothing is honestly just a pathetic take.

The fact that some arguments against a HP boycott boil down to "but some people like it and find meaning and friends in it! Without it they'll have nothing!"

Honestly, if the core of someone's personhood is built around their hogwarts house, then the house of their personhood is built on sand.
