there was a memorial for trans people that have died by suicide/been killed in 2025 at the park. i hadn't planned to be there for more than 20 minutes or so. but a soon as i started getting near the memorial i saw around 25 trans people all surrounding the memorial letting person after person speak. and eventually i got the courage to go up. i didn't have anything planned so i just talked about gr... » Continue Reading
there's a running joke amongst queer people about that one homoerotic friendship that you had as a young kid/teen that fundamentally changed the way you went about your life. and because i'm a walking stereotype of course i had one too. years before i came out as anything. we were more touchy feely than friends usually are (but i don't really know that because i don't know how touchy feely is too... » Continue Reading

there's a picture of a river on wikipedia that i can't get out of my mind, because i swear that i've been there before. before we moved west. the church me and my family used to go to is near there, so i think i must've been there for an outdoor event. maybe an easter potluck or something. i've been thinking of the past a lot more recently. i don't have many memories of my childhood up until secon... » Continue Reading
whenever i feel like i have nothing to listen to in terms of music, i usually look at my friends playlists and what they're listening to. and so i looked through one named "unskippable september." i saw a song from a local band i recommended to her and some songs that she found through a mixtape i made her. i dunno why but it really got to me. there's a tumblr post that goes something along the li... » Continue Reading
it's been almost a year since i moved from the mid-sized city i spent most of my life in to the biggest city in my state. the neighborhood i live in has apparently been slowly gentrified by tech-bros moving into the new fancy and expensive apartments they keep building. it's kind of funny seeing these beautiful historical antique apartment buildings (some are important enough to have their own wik... » Continue Reading
after the event that was thursday it was nice to spend the rest of the weekend just chilling. on friday i spent the night at my Dads house so i wouldn't have to take an early morning bus on saturday because saturday i had tickets to go with my family to Horrorcon. which is (as expeccted) a horror-themed convention in the pnw. the actual event was pretty fun, although i didn't have a lot of money. ... » Continue Reading
i'm at the library right now while my apartment tests fire alarms and checks in-unit sprinklers. which means i had to spend 2 days doing a deep clean of the entire place, hiring a catsitter, and hiding any cat paraphernalia that i own, just so my landlord doesn't find out i've been hiding a cat in my strictly NO PETS apartment. on tuesday i had absolutely no idea where i was going to take my cat f... » Continue Reading
my dad dropped me off at the bus stop today, like he usually does on thursdays, and within not even a second after i shut the door this person starts talking to me. at first they just make general small talk about my band shirt and ask me about the bus route, but then they mentioned that they were going to a show that they got free tickets for. so i say something like "oh really?" and they replied... » Continue Reading

since Thursday i had been absolutely dreading going into work due to what happened in yesterdays blog (which you can read here ). my shift today started at 4:30 PM and i spent almost 3 hrs before then just doomscrolling because i was terrified of going in today and getting dirty looks. or worse, getting chewed out by my manager IRL. but she wasn't here, and no one yelled at me. i was definitely qu... » Continue Reading
just when life is starting to turn around i have to ruin it again. on wednesday i woke up and immediately felt off, which is when i realized that my phone hadn't charged at all and it was an hour past when i was supposed to be at work. and today i woke up at 10:30 (when my work was supposed to start (i guess my alarm just didn't work??)) and knew id be fired if i showed up that late twice so i jus... » Continue Reading
