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!!""

So, I guess, mission accomplished.

TenkiShonen,

@Impossible_PhD sounds like beautifully organized chaos to me

daphnestar,

@Impossible_PhD Yup, that tracks. :blob_cat_giggle:​ Thanks goodness for liminal spaces.

Terra,

    @Terra Or, alternately, come and talk to me.

    That's the thing with stained glass. Can't make it without breaking some stuff, but oh, the beauty of what comes out of it.

    @Terra Because of the boobs, right?

    In both ways, right?

    @Terra @Impossible_PhD But you'll thank her for it in the end.

    @Terra @NicolaElle I mean... yeah.

    Being born is beautiful, but there's a whole lot of blood and screaming involved.

    @Impossible_PhD @Terra What came to mind for me with those words was Kintsugi. Once those pieces are put together again, it's golden.

    @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.

    daphnestar,

    @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.

    @daphnestar @Terra @NicolaElle Oh, Daphne, hun... the next series coming on SGW may be another one of those.

    @Impossible_PhD
    At least I get three days to brace myself this time. :heart_transgender:​

    @daphnestar @Terra @NicolaElle The first article is just an intro article, and I'm trying on purpose to be gentle.

    The one after? That's probably going to be a lot harder for many folks.

    @Terra @daphnestar @NicolaElle I dispute that. It doesn't break you. My stuff never breaks you.

    It asks you to look at the spots where you've been broken for ages, and to stop ignoring it, so you can start healing.

    @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 @jonathanpeterson @daphnestar @NicolaElle I fucking LOVE samosas, and every time I go back to my hometown I try to pick up a box from my favorite Indian store. Damnit I need to find a plug round here

    @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.

    daphnestar,

    @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

    aenea,

    @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?

    Impossible_PhD,

    @aenea @Terra @NicolaElle Fi🤭 ne, 3-6 business months.

    @Impossible_PhD So a cozy happy purgatory? Sounds fantastic actually.
