what I think will happen if I message my mutuals

(voice of a girl who's already weird about it) can i be weird about this

Tonight was a good night :)

In a town a few hours from me, there is an event called Sparkle that I go to every year. And ever year we get all dressed up to take pictures.

Two years ago, Beatrice picked our outfit.

Last year, Monday picked our outfit.

And this year after a brief wardrobe crisis, our original host Emily/Tink, who is still a little four year old, wanted to pick out what we wore. We wore a pink dress with puffed up sleeves and a petticoat, and a tiara, and beautiful iridescent wings.

This is the third time Emily/Tink has fronted after she stopped being the host when the body was four. She never felt safe in the world.

But tonight we wore a pink dress and a tiara, and when I co-fronted with her during the event, she got showered with nothing but compliments, there were little girls running up to hug us and take pictures, and thinking we were a Princess.

And Emily/Tink got to see the lights on the trees and hand out candy to kids and she just had an amazing, amazing day.

And after all that, I think the best thing is, that while that day had such an impact on us, it will also have an impact on those little kids. They will get to one day look back on those pictures and hopefully remember just as magical and special a time as we had.

I am so happy that this is the third reunion Emily/Tink had with the world. And I hope that remembering seeing the lights will comfort her, even if she never fronts again.

She finally had one good night.

Our little has been around pretty consistently our whole lives, and although he never really aged, that doesn't mean he doesn't know a thing or two about our complex and nuanced world. He may be a child but he has some wisdom that can be really insightful, and sometimes things the rest of us wouldn't've thought about. I always try to remember that even though he is a child, doesn't mean he's immature.

The struggle is real

Enjoy it while it lasts. This will be banned before you can say "trans equality".

Woman becomes first UK womb transplant recipient to give birth

Grace Davidson gives birth to baby Amy Isabel after receiving her sister’s womb in 2023

A fucking womb transplant, what an incredible thing. Fair play to all involved. A positive news story amidst all the dire shite.

'Do you fall in love often?' Yes often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.

ok but is it Neal or Sara that has the handcuff kink 👀

it's their version of sodoku!

But anyway, my money's on Sara. For Neal it's part of the job and way too easy to get out of to be an effective kink. For Sara, it's a way to relinquish control in a very demanding professional life, and with Neal there's the added safety feature that they don't actually need to keep track of the keys, so...

Yeah, I'm gonna go with Sara.
