The experience of transition is a lot of little things, hundreds of tiny interactions that tell me that treating my gender incongruence was the right decision. This morning was the non-event of choosing a simple cotton dress from my closet, looking over the seams to orient it properly, and feeling a spark of joy as I toss the wide end of the skirt over my head and swim through the open V-neck on the other side. I love wearing this, and I get to do it every day. I've been doing this every day for over a year and it still makes me smile.

Here's some tips for all the newcomers on here:

-Introduce yourself by announcing who your least favorite professional badminton player is. It is standard.

-If you wish to verify your account, please upload a picture of your face to confirm that you are not James Corden. James is not allowed on here.

-Socialize by finding one person and commenting "others may judge you for this, but it does not make me respect you any less" on every single one of their posts.

With the enshittification of search engines & the boom in craptastic AI word-vomit machines, I'm starting to wonder if we should go back to making old-school public listings of our favorite sites, especially other ones created by actual humans and with actual valid knowledge contained on them?

Or maybe more librarians could catalog the web for us, since they're pretty expert at that kind of thing.

Because the machine-driven systems we've built are just... *bad*.

Conversation between me and my best beloved:

Kate: Well, I do sometimes behave like a 12 year old.
Kathryn: I wouldn't say a 12 year old, you sometimes behave like an 18 year old.
Kate: I'm not sure that's a compliment...
Kathryn: [Long silence]

Just found out the Garfield mug I've had since I was a kid has cadmium in it and is thus is notably radioactive and I've never been more excited to own something potentially deadly.

On my way out to go to the tank farm (gas station for you who don’t live in the Arctic) and something stopped me in my tracks. #Nunavut #photography #LandscapePhotography
