if anyone needs an argument for how passing doesn't magically protect you from transphobia: i got deadnamed in front of the whole class today.

it still says my deadname on all my legal documents, it can't be helped, but anyways the lecturer took attendance and she went down the list and got to my name and when i raised my hand and said "yes sorry it's Marina" she just stared at me completely dumbfounded and went "then why does it say [deadname]?"

and she said it in such a manner of disbelief, essentially going "but you don't look like a man!" which, Good. i sure fucking hope i don't. but she clearly didn't grasp the connection between the guy's name on the paper and me, the person sitting in front of her, because How Can It Be that a person has one name on the paper and another, mayhaps even of a different gender, in real life? duplicitous.

and also if anyone didn't know i was trans before, they sure do now.

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

I could think of no better way to share the news than this!

So when I was 17, my cat went missing and I'd given up hope of ever seeing him again.

Until on Monday, 27th of May, 2024, my friend sent me a FB post asking 'isn't that your mother?' about the person named on the microchip.

Here he is! 16 years old, and found safe, twelve whole years after he went missing!

Yesterday (Tuesday the 28th of May, 2024) I went to the rescue that had him, and I reclaimed my boy, renaming him Artie! (He'd originally been called 'Cat' because my mother and I couldn't decide on a name)

He's home safe with me now, currently inhabiting my bathroom and purring up a storm every time someone goes in there!

I'll be doing slow introductions between him and my current cat to give them the best possible chance of living in harmony!

Here's some pictures of Artie once we let him out of the carrier:
