@forestine I despise any address that makes there be 3 genders. “Guys gals and non binary pals” just establishes no binary folks as other
Hello everyone is probably the best. But I’ve gotten in a habit of addressing crowds (mostly at drag shows and my streams) with “cat-femmes and gentle-thems, folks and friends”.
Highlights marginalized folks (femmes and thems) and also holds space for everyone, without relying on a third gender trope
It has always annoyed me that people assume I like any technology just because I like the web. "Oh so you're probably into cyberspace and blockchains and machine learning then". No I'm into information, it being free, and me being able to contribute to it. Most everything else is bullshit. Don't call me a fucking techie.
I think I'm just ... ready to launch the Kickstarter for The Beautiful Decay?
You can follow for a notifcation here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/381351683/the-beautiful-decay
Planning to launch this week! ASAP if enough people sign up, I guess!
I think if this hits 30 I'll go ahead and launch tomorrow
It's already at 25 so it's possible! 😅
fun typesetting history fact:
back when newspapers were set with hot metal type, you would sometimes see the words ETAOIN SHRDLU after a typo. this was caused by the typesetters running their fingers rapidly across the first two columns of the linotype keyboard and was meant to be a signal to the compositors to discard that line and move on to the next
which of course did not happen 100% of the time because there was just a lot of shit going on
Surgery recovery updates
Sitz bath #1 done, shower #1 done. Boy howdy is it a gory mess down there. It’s gonna take some serious getting used to needing to just let my boys hang out in the wind to dry
I have a request Mastodon, I’ve just found out I need a kidney transplant. I was wondering if you all could respond with something positive and then reblog this? I’m going to put all the kind messages on my wall when I’m not homeless anymore and have them ready to look at when I feel defeated.
Also, I’m running a cat blog on here of my best friends cat to cheer me up. Hope you join our adventures @troublethecat

Surgery recovery updates
I need to shower and go pee now but I’m gonna give myself time to calm down a bit more
Surgery recovery updates
Dressing and catheter has been removed, I’m supposed to go shower and try to pee. Having someone I barely know doing all kinds of things to my downstairs business and all the sensations and stuff put me into flashback
But my nurse was really great. She noticed I was in discomfort and asked if I was okay and I said “I’m a survivor of SA and this is hard emotionally” and she backed off for a moment. Then when we were done she said I looked not okay and if I needed anything and I told her that I could feel myself going into flashback and asked for something to help. She didn’t hesitate to get me Ativan, and hurried me back to my room.
I’m still coming down from the flashback, still feeling really shaky… but the Ativan helped a lot. I didn’t even go fully into flashback so that’s cool.

Hey folks, be wary if contracted by organizations offering either self-paid or sliding scale medical care if you pass their screening, especially if they are a non-profit.
HIPA compliance is not required from people who provide medical care that do not accept direct insurance billing, and the California Consumer Privacy Act does not apply to non-profits.
Radically queer all the time, radically neurodiverse all the time.
A few intersectionalities:
- trans femme/gender non conforming
- Ace/Quoisromantic, polyam
- disabled/neurodiverse
- adoptee
- SA survivor
