Community/Sunshine
(This came up in my mind because Mark is reading Sunshine on video!)
One of the things about Sunshine that's amazing is the community there. Like Mrs. Bialosky sticking up for Sunshine, and helping keep the neighborhood flowerbeds planted, and sharing the right kind of gossip. And Mel comforting her when needed and giving people rides on his ( Read more... ) -
Desert Books
(this post inspired by this series of posts on my Kemetic blog)
So when we're talking about "representation" in books (and movies and...)
I think that one of the most important types of representation in books for me, personally are desert books. Even more than trans or disabled characters, for example.
No matter where you are in the United States ( Read more... ) -
Lesbian Nuns: Breaking the Silence
After using the cover art in a recent thread,... XD
I'm reading Lesbian Nuns: Breaking Silence, it's really good!
Some reviews describe it as uninteresting or dull, but it really isn't! It may not be about stunt flying or anything, but it's very well written.

River's new thing...
So yesterday I was hanging with River and she curled up in my elbow to get petted. And then relaxed more and more there - and finally fell asleep. Which ended up making me sleepy enough to take a nap! And neither of us woke up until almost 2 hrs later ( Read more... ) -
Watched Princess Tutu
So I finally watched Princess Tutu! Partly because I had seen and heard good things about it at Sakura Con, but the final straw was that Mark Oshiro watched it and the reviews sounded really interesting.
So I got it out from Netflix.
The main plot of the show revolves around this young man named Mytho who doesn't seem to have feelings or a lot of ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I think River has a new nickname: the raterpillar. Because of how much she enjoys eating lettuce, and also because of her technique of nibbling from the edges. ^.^

Neurodivergence and Transness Part 2
part 1
Personal experiences - within and fitting in
I have been slowly writing a series of posts on how being both Trans and Disabled/Neurodivergent interact with eachother. For me they are tangled together.
I am trans but a lot of trans-ness seems to get explained in terms of gender identity.
I don't really have this thing called "Gender Identity".

On Relationships of Different Kinds
There is no one kind of relationship that has some special magic that makes it superior to all others. Or all that different from others.
I've seen this said a lot of different ways. I've heard that straight relationships are more based in love than gay ones. I've heard that monogamous relationships are more true to love or sensible than poly ( Read more... ) -
Transgenderism and Autism... personal experiences (how people treated me)
Note: This post is about things that other people have done *to* me, and the effects that has had. I might post about the intrinsic stuff later.
TW: for f-ed up coercive therapy (although I'm not going to be too graphic)
When I went through puberty, though, all these things started to happen that I knew were not quite right. But I knew what would ( Read more... ) -
Still Alive!
I'm still alive.
For those of you on DW that I converse with - I haven't been ignoring any of you for personal reasons. And I still will post sometimes.
But I realized something - using words takes a toll on me. A big toll. And right now I am studying at University - which means that using words is at the *heart* of many of my duties as a student ( Read more... )
