Late post since we were driving, but today is International Women's Day, so I wanted to say a little something.

Being a woman in railroading is still really fucking hard. It's gotten easier, and the women who came before me had it a lot harder than I did, but it's still a heavily male-dominated space, and growing up it was really tough to even be acknowledged. I had a lot of people, even other kids, questioning me for having a "boys' hobby" and the old men who dominated the hobby didn't want me there and made no secret of it.

Anyway, I said fuck it and went on to design and drive steam locomotives anyway because I am a spiteful little gremlin of a woman, and when it came time for me to have someone in the cab with me, I knew I didn't want a cis man in there firing the locomotive, because I wanted someone who traditionally wasn't here to have that opportunity with me. As luck would have it, we found Fireman. She and I clicked from day one, and the conversations we have in the cab as we're driving would probably freak a lot of people out but that's just part of the joy of finding a friend who really fits nicely into your life. Aside from Conductor she's my best friend, and it's such an honor to share the cab with her.

Today we made our usual run back from Pittsburgh to New Jersey, and I got to thinking about just how lucky we both are to be doing this, and how I hope we make it easier for the little girls who come up after us, and how I get to do all of this with a dear friend.

And before you say anything, International Women's Day includes trans women, so don't pull any terf bullshit on this post or I'll chase you down with a huge fucking wrench. Fireman and I are both cis women, but when we say all women, we mean ALL women. Terfs aren't welcome on this train.

Today at school, a girl told me at the reception that she did not like me and that I was ugly. That's why I came home and used makeup like I wasn't myself 🔥🔥🔥

Although it is not visible. Then I'll delete it

Tried to give myself white Jason Todd fringe but it's kind of giving Narcissa Malfoy instead?

Also, peep my Nightwing phone, you must tell me it's rad.

(ignore the weird cheugy mirror that came with my apartment lol)

Might try and lighten it again tomorrow...

Partial face reveal cause why not

[midnight-soulless-system]

I'm making a sketch to paint and I'm looking at the nose I drew and why did i draw it so small yall like what

Like this is the picture I'm using as a reference

My nose is clearly not that fucking small and I cannot seem to draw it bigger 😭 Also face reveal I guess. Ignore my curls that are crying for help.

Mods asleep?

Hey guys, just a little drawing with me.

And yes, you probably noticed that I paint myself with a little stubble. In general, I do not know why, but I like it. Plus, I use the pronouns She/Her and He/Him. Of course, I understand that I am female, but for some reason I like to imagine myself as a guy. Please don't hit me
