a reminder that free lunches actually existed from before the civil war into the 20th century, and were the single most effective method of alleviating poverty in american cities. while privatecharities and government programs failed, saloons distributed massive amounts of food for little or no charge.

My partner's favorite pics from the selfies I took today 💗
A selfie from last September! I was digging around my social media stuff and liked this photo a lot, so I figured I'd share here. Corsets are fun 🙂
A tower defense style game where your towers are mechanisms to deliver affirmations to insecure kids in their way to school.
I need to get more comfortable with blatantly lying to people. I keep outing myself in a reckless, devil-may-care way even though I've been passing as cis. The Lyft driver today was a frustrating bigot and made it clear that he thought of me as a guy. He tried to "complement" me by saying that he "didn't know" and that he "thought I was a chick". I responded to that by firmly saying "Because I AM one".
Ugh. I had a horrible experience with a Lyft driver earlier today. A self-described libertarian who's a veteran. He ranted about how he hates Islam and talked shit about Black Lives Matter (he literally said "Sure, black lives matter, but ALL lives matter" and complained about riots burning down towns). He really fucking loved listening to himself talk.
#Science: new research shows ravens are surprisingly intelligent, and able to plan ahead http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/07/13/537040868/ravens-surprise-scientists-by-showing-they-can-plan
I've felt self-conscious about how much I've worried about "passing" in public. I fit the classic binary transfeminine narrative pretty well (and so medical treatment has gone especially smoothly for me), but the fact that I experience so much pressure towards being that way somewhat detracts from my enjoyment of it. I've also noticed myself emphasizing heavily on looking like "just some girl" to avoid harassment. The internal sense that I HAVE to do it in order to be safe is stressful.
Deep-passing is neat as an anti-harassment measure. Wearing trans allyship pins and talking about periods even though I don't personally experience the bleeding 😎
I hate how fatigued and foggy-minded I get when I oversleep. It's so easy to get stuck in a loop of terrible sleeping habits 🙃
Current mood: misread "cybersurfing" as "cybersuffering"
People seriously need to understand that "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" does not invalidate white privilege. Like, white people are MUCH more easily able to fit meritocratic narratives BECAUSE they're white and have privileges that come with that.
Boss just pointed out to me that in the US all the dates from now until the 20th are palindromes
