pet peeve: using the word "refugee" for people who choose to stop using one social media website and start using another one

When we exclude cishet men and women entirely, solely on the grounds that they are cishet, I sometimes wonder how many people we are excluding who simply don't know they're queer yet.

Note: we don't owe any other human being our company necessarily, and everyone has to assess for themselves what feels ok, safe, and fulfilling. But I just think about this a lot. I think it's totally valid to excuse ourselves from people who act out of alignment with our values, but queer people can also do that. Idk.

My estrogen molecule flower trellis tattoo is finished!

Work was done by Wryly Fable at Ritual Tattoo in Berkeley.

Side view of a flower and wood tattoo on my right arm, it stretches around my bicep to my tricep

Oh we haven't had an anxiety attack in ages... It is... Even less fun than I recall, somehow.

I was preparing to suggest something scary but important to my daughter and she revealed that she was already considering it, did the research and has set a time frame to make an informed and not impulsive choice with input from her care team.

Hard, hard stuff. But I'm so desperately proud of her.

As I prepare to lift today, I wish so much that physical education growing up had been more about finding movement, strength, and mobility in ways that felt good and brought joy, rather than focusing on stack ranking students and rewarding traditional sports participation. I loved units like rock climbing and archery, but was discouraged from lifting weights and pushed very hard to run long distances (I'm a sprinter by build, stride length, and nature). The benefits were never discussed, we just did it because we were forced to.

Someone recently asked me why my handle is "Anathema"
It started as a goof. Before I came out as being a member of the trans family, my handle was Womantichrist and I had a laugh because anaTHEMa is a pretty little joke.

But on a more serious note, it comes from the Greek, Anatithenai: "to dedicate", used biblically to refer to something set aside or set apart as a sacrificial offering. Sacrifice, as in "to make sacred or holy"

So that's why. Now you know!
