My roommate (the one who hates septum piercings so much they make her gag) thinks my art is the most disgusting and ugly shit on the planet, and every time I announce that I've sold a piece or gotten into a show, she makes the kind of facial expression you'd expect of someone eating chili at a live autopsy and says, "I'm glad you're having fun! :)"

I don't understand how people are so fatphobic sometimes there is more girl to love and kiss and you are complaining about it.

"how to prevent smile lines" there are a thousand more important things to do with your time than postpone evidence of life's joy on your face

How does superglue REFUSE to come out of the tube when you're actively trying to get some out, but as soon as you give up and put it down, the damn thing decides it's time to do world's best pineapple-with-a-werewolf-boyfriend -impression?

The fat transfem experience is multitudes more difficult than you realize

I’d be long dead in a ditch somewhere or just an absolute shell of myself if I internalized even a quarter of the things people said I was after I didn’t give them what they wanted from me. This period of my life keeps reminding me of Baldwin’s: “You have to decide who you are and force the world to deal with you, not its idea of you.” And Audre Lorde’s: “If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.”

Getting closer to 30 has been about realizing how deep self-betrayal runs in me and how profoundly I want to be liberated from acting like this. It’s boring and predictable. Sacrificing myself has never led to any real growth, fulfillment, or strength… I would much rather the discomfort of loss. I love and respect myself too much now to lay down for people. They will kill you if you let them.

People are going to decide who you are based on a myriad of factors completely out of your control and relevant only to their perspective and experience. I’ve learned it’s best just to say that ain’t got shit to do with me and move on for your peace of mind and spirit.

"most gender affirming care is actually for cis ppl, isn't that hypocritical?" well they're affirming and reinforcing the societal structure of assigned gender so no actually. if they could they'd want you to get surgery to make you line up with your coercive gender assignment too, and very often they do, especially to kids.
