I manage a very small, closed social and support space on Discord. People work through stuff there, get support for the hardest things they're going through--that sort of thing. And, this morning, someone said this there:
"This server exists in the liminal space between "I'm home" and "GeT mE tHe FuCk OuT oF hErE!1!!""
@NicolaElle@Terra Kintsugi is one of my favorite things in the world. I just don't talk about it because it's a deeply Japanese cultural thing, and I'm super white.
@Impossible_PhD
I don't disagree, but if I had any complaints it would be over how many times I've had to repeat the process.
Me: Phew... I've finally put all my pieces together again. I feel at peace.
Stained Glass Woman: Are you sure you got all the pieces? Did you look here?
Me (terrified): Oh no. @Terra@NicolaElle
@Terra@Impossible_PhD@daphnestar@NicolaElle Is it weird if I, a middle-aged, cishet white dude, step into the middle of this friday hugfest to just say how fucking wholesome y'all are? As explanation I stumbled over @Impossible_PhD's opening the black box a while back, while following marginalized voices to be a better ally and ended up enjoying a well written love story that had almost none of my life journey. A 21st century Chasing Amy if you will. Y'll keep being excellent to each other
@Terra@Impossible_PhD@daphnestar@NicolaElle I'm a total amateur foodie anthropologist. Atlanta has a rich enough ethnic food scene to let me travel the world without a passport. And when I do travel, I search out local, unique and seasonal things. Somosas ARE awesome, but my latest food obsession is shrimp aguachile. It's perfect for a spicelord who loves sushi and seafood.
@Impossible_PhD@daphnestar@Terra (Morgan Freeman narrating). “And, with those words, hundreds of trans women cleared their schedules for Monday, and sought to make appointments with their therapists as soon as possible. And a dozen male-presenting individuals shivered in fear, for some inexplicable reason.”
@NicolaElle@daphnestar@Terra This next series isn't an egg-cracker. Frankly, it's exclusively for people who've been in transition for a while, because the stuff I talk about in it CANNOT be approached until you've done a lot of other stuff.
@Impossible_PhD
Oh crap, I am in trouble, aren't I. Okay, taking my three prep days seriously then -- good thing I have therapy Wednesdays. @NicolaElle@Terra
@Terra@NicolaElle@Impossible_PhD 3 months? Why does it feel I'm still picking up pieces 3 and half years after I realized, with 2 of hormones and 1 since I came out to everyone?
