+2 to Visible Queerness @cons@lgbt.io

It's cool how chronic difficulties making and keeping friends can leave me really without good options for roommates who will put up with me.

Tore down my old broken fan and removed the motor so I could taken it to E-Waste, but let my brother take it off my hands instead because "hey, I could use an electric motor".

I would read an entire genre full of surrealist comics. I find surrealism *way* more accessible by illustration than by written word.

This is the elevator column of the Seattle Central Public Library, all 10 stories of it. (Excluding the mechanisms on the roof.)

The whole building's design revolves around the column without integrating it. And I get the modernist aesthetic doesn't mesh with decoration.

But, from the first day I saw it, I've always thought that surface *cries out* for a Chinese dragon mural.

And I pretty much no longer have any concept of a "real name". I miss it a little? But it's really just different names for different contexts, and as suits me at present.

Note: for obvious reasons it is unlikely I will still identify as a shapeshifter come solstice.

But so yeah gender shifts month to month. I change species every three months or so, and I tend to change my name once or twice a year.

Recent events shifted me into a fey species, which prompted a new sona-- Ash, warrior-prince of the fey. And then I became a boy to match. Boy tends to hold for about a month, I'll be a girl again by equinox.

Hi I'm a shapeshifter and I'm not subtle about it :)

*gender takes a hard right turn into masc*

*asks for gender-neutral relationship terms from the boyfriend*

*builds a warrior-prince alt*

*cancels the week's thrifting, means to buy a drill instead*

Genderfluid the identity doesn't really speak to me. But I gotta admit my gender does basically that.

A frustrating thing about trying to accommodate the disability of someone with really serious autism is that the "he can't help it, it's not his fault, just work around it" type stuff?

Is stuff I would interpret as direct hostility coming from anybody else. I just have to keep reminding myself. And like I'm pretty familiar with ASD. But it's still hard not to take it personally.

Man when a drop of water runs down between my tits that is my least favorite sensation ever.

I've been back and forth across gender space so mant times, even when I'm back to being a boy I'm still trans. I transit gender. It's what I do.

*learns more about her childhood abuse and its long-term effects on her ability to function*

It's amazing that I've managed stay functional as long as I have.

What's striking is not that I run my life well-- I don't-- but that I am able to run it at all.

*halfway through planning & provisioning the construction of a piece of furniture*

Okay so wow I am eerily good at this.

Schematic? Rifle through a dozen in my head, find a good one, sketch it. Parcel out the order at the big-box hardware store. Considering my options for countersunk bolts.

Man can I just keep making weird wood framework furniture?

Jim Carrey To Play ‘Sonic The Hedgehog’ Villain Robotnik

wow. that uh. is so far from correct I don't have words for it.

look a full-CGI adaptation of the Sat AM sonic cartoon, I'm there for.

some Roger the Rabbit shit, that goes in the deke bin with Matrix 2 & 3 and every Transformer movie. not canon.

The last 7 years I've felt like a nobody. If I want to tell a story where I'm the hero, I need to act like the hero of my story. Dress like one, behave like one, think like one.

If I just play the role well enough, it will become the truth. It's a small matter to enchant myself, and it's for a good cause :)

A life is a story. And a story can change course.
