It still gets me the Bible Jesus is a homeless socialist with brown skin, hangs out with 12 dudes and a Prostitute, tells rich people to pay their taxes and give their wealth to the poor, tells the religious leaders that they need to love everyone equally, gets a whip and goes hog on people using religion to sell stuff, and then straight up gets murdered for these beliefs. Yet somehow churches act like he's some kind of Conservative Haircut in khakis and a button up, who would support cutting welfare programs, and would preach Prosperity Gospel.

New instance, new #Introduction post, isn't that how it works?

Well you may have known me as @Tweetfiction , and those of you who knew me longer knew me by another name and identity altogether.

Join me as I blather on...err, I mean wisely ponder about #Trans and #lgbtq issues, #Politics, my various #travel and a healthy dose of various geekdoms like #comics and #film. Every once in a while something makes sense!

We're probably all doomed, but it's kind of a laff, innit?

Oof yah there's a lot of those.

So I was walking idly through a mall in Joplin Missouri, just killing time after a day at the install site. I walk by a #rue21 and see they're going bankrupt. Oh, well so goes the mall stores. Then I saw this crazy sign about it and it linked to a substack about what happened.

This story is INSANE y'all

Look, I can't be the only one who just loved that last second Chiefs upset not out of some sense of fandom, but just so the RW Conspiracy nuts will go crazy??

Today is a heavy and Momentous day for me. As some of you who knew me before, 1 year ago today my best friend since childhood died. From diagnosis to dead in 3 months. He was just shy of his 46th birthday. Again, fuck cancer.

He was the best man (and literally my best man in the before times) I've ever known. He made me want to be a better person.

And so I've tried to become a better person to honor him, to become the best Jennifer I could possibly be.

This month has been Momentous. Starting month 6 of HRT, going out as myself for only the second time with my dear sister Valerie. And with her getting my ears pierced, using the women's restroom and being correctly Gendered for the very first time. It's since happened a couple times and I'll never get tired of it.

And Friday I came out to my in-laws, and I was shocked to find out they were loving and supportive about it.

Today I'm sending a version of the text I sent them go my two sister-in-law. I'm boarding a plane soon and will probably hit send right before take off. Hopefully I land to acceptance. But it doesn't matter, I will essentially be out at that point, and I'm so ready.

So in the hope it helps somebody else, here is what I wrote them:

"Hi! There's something we want to tell you guys about. Something beautiful and wonderful, that we just can't hold in anymore.

Last year my best friend Jeremy got sick and died, in the prime of his life. And I realized...life is short and tomorrow isn't guaranteed. And it was time to make an attempt to come alive again.

So I started taking care of myself. Started dieting, started therapy. Started by ignoring the obvious truth staring me in the face and making a last attempt to be happy with who I was. And as I lost weight and went to therapy and did a lot of soul searching, a lifetime of denial and repression and sadness came flooding back. I started visualizing the end goal, and what I realized is that even after I lose the weight, even after I do the mental work, I'd still be a failure as a man. Because...I'm not a man, I'm a woman, and I always have been. I've fought this my entire life and i just didnt have it in me anymore. Not if I wanted to live.

Every time I saw a reflection of myself I saw a face that didn't belong to me, and my chest would grow tight until I couldn't breathe, and I'd feel as if I was drowning, but nobody could see me being dragged into the murky depths. Transition is literally saving my marriage, my family, and my life.

So that's pretty much it. We're happier than we've ever been and want to share that with our family and the world. We hope you'll welcome me as a sister as you welcolmed me as a brother. When you're ready, we'd be happy to talk about it. Just let us know. Love you all!"

Surely this is the stupidest of timelines we live in...

I guess they're going to try to ban #tiktok I mean, whatever I guess but pardon me if I don't entirely feel better about my data being mined for American companies as opposed to Chinese ones. 🤷‍♀️

Just maybe...don't talk to the media at all, my #trans siblings, unless they're explicitly on our side. Most of them are NOT.

I just had some interactions with some folks on another platform who bemoan the lack of an algorithm here, and it blows my mind. They actually WANT to be herded and manipulated to the things they think are their interests. I...really don't get it. Am I the crazy one?

And again, talked about Mastodon being too difficult. Are we...some kind of geniuses for figuring out how to navigate a website?

itsjustjenn, 5 months ago to random

Morning folks. Leaving quarantine today and somehow heading back to the job site. Goddess help me and pass the ammunition. Don't say anything that would give aid and comfort to the enemy!
Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Yall. If you're in the lower Midwest go outside and check out the northern lights. I've never seen them here before!

I want to wish a VERY HAPPY 29th birthday to my sister, @WrenArcher ! Never in my life have I known somebody filled with such kindness and joy for everyone around her, and I love her very much! Plus she's a lot of fun (sized) 💗💗💗 🥳🥳🥳

Does anybody remember reading that parody of Avengers vs X-Men where all the dialog was replaced to be really inappropriate?

Little confused by the early 20 somethings posting about their transition with "it's never too late" messages. 🤔

A year ago Monday, my best friend since 7th grade was cut down in the prime of his life. It was one of the biggest personal tragedies I've ever faced, but it was a catalyst for me to make a lot of changes. Even in his death my friend made me a better person.

Late in life his found his true calling as a teacher, and his wife (and my bestie) has created this go fund me for a scholarship fund to honor him. I never ask anybody to donate to anything, but I do want to share this in his memory.

Love you and miss you buddy. Also, fuck cancer.

Beginning of a night out / end of a night out. So I kept being told if you want to be a girl you can be a girl. Turns out that's accurate. Who knew? 🤷‍♀️
