This sums up my past year pretty well.

"You were given new opportunities, but something happened to bring disappointment shortly after. However, the future is bright, and marriage is on the horizon."

I got engaged this year.

Today I watched Kafka's Ape a 2015 stage adaptation by Phala O. Phala of Franz Kafka's short story "A Report to an Academy" and once again watching a Kafka play in South Africa has cemented its place in my soul. Art is life. 🫀🫁

In the early 1980s, my mom came out as a lesbian and her mom told her "fine, but don't talk about it in front of your cousins" talking about my uncle ron's youngest daughters who were young teens at the time.

And for a while mom went along with this, but then her middle cousin started becoming more and more visibly a lesbian in the closet herself, so my mom said fuck it, and brought a partner with her to the next holiday so she could show her cousin it was okay to be herself.

My uncle ron putters over to this giant of a woman (mams always did like her butches over 6ft), looks her up and down, shakes her hand and slips her a gin and tonic, and then turns to mom and just says "cousins is cousins" and wanders back off again to chat with one of his kids.

I grew up my whole life hearing that phrase. Cousins is cousins. And it wasn't just about blood, it was a found family thing, you know? From inception, the whole point of this was "kiddo, I love you, and so I love anyone who loves you like they're my own." I think a lot about what it means to be a man like that with the weight of family obligation and generations of religious trauma on your back, and still look at this young woman you watched grow up and say that loving someone and being loved by someone will always matter more than anything else, no matter how important that other thing might be to someone.

I don't think the man ever understood a goddamn thing about my gender, but I know he loved me and he was happy that I was happy, and he was tickled pink that I liked the idea of aging into him.

My mom sent me tefillin from her brother, my dad, and his dad

I was so jealous as a kid watching men put on tefillin. Unwrapping the long leather straps and checking these little boxes is making me full of many different emotions. And the loud obnoxious part of my brain is saying "*electronic voicemail robot voice* Gender is stored in the. Little Box."

My friend just posted this on Facebook and thought it might be a joke. Nope, it's real. it only has 3.8 stars. naturally the first thing I went to look at was the 1 star reviews.

Dear God

If you made man in your image and men have prostates then does that mean you have one? Are you a bottom?

child,

i have everything and am all. my form has every characteristic of man plus a rib with every characteristic of women. i'm a top and a bottom. at the same time. Not a switch. both.

i think the fandom are just as crazy as the maesters, it feels like half these characters are doing purposeful and accidental magic all the time every other chapter and people will be like “well there’s no evidence it’s magic so it’s not magic” these people are all a five minimum on the magic richter scale don’t let dany & bran being at a 10 fool u into thinking a 6 is a 2!!!!
