I'm just a trans dude being me.
The moon! (I'm jumping on this trend specifically for my friend Will. The photo is terrible, just like you wanted.)
I bought a dick candle for some candle magic and today was the last burn. All that's left is this:
Is KFC still good in other countries? My expectations of KFC at this point are so low that when I get it, I'm always sure that it can't be as bad as I remember. It's always somehow worse. Today's edition: wings. It's so over cooked, there is no finger licking. How do you fuck up *wings*???
So I've never updated my work address on Google Maps. I regularly use Google Maps to check traffic on my way to work, but I had saved my current work as an important place instead of my work. Today I accidentally clicked the work button and uh... I guess I can be at work in 31 hours?
Tonight I was Kenough. (Also, barely recognize myself without my beard. Weird.)
Anyway, we got a DNA test to find out what he actually is since no one can agree. It really depends on the angle you look at him what he looks like. My best guess is Jack Russell and Pitbull Terrier, but I could be way off. If you have guesses, share them with me before I find out the results
But despite how maddingly frustrating he can be, I love him so fucking much. He's helping me live childhood dreams. I'm a better person for owning him. He makes me so so happy. Plus, just look at him!!
Every single day when I come home from work, he insists on giving me a hug first thing. If I don't do it, he barks at me until I do. He also really likes cuddles. Most of the time I say "Papa Loves Astro" he does this:
I wrote this whole thing last night as a quote skeet of someone about how we need more happy things in our lives, so they started a thread of animal pictures and stories and then my app crashed and I lost it. The concept is this though: meet Astro.
What even is this timeline???? (This is just a screenshot, so you can't click it for the information, but it's basically exactly what the headline says.)
For me, the most impactful part of transitioning so far has been getting top surgery. It changed how I exist in the world in a way that I don't even have words to explain. I went from being misgendered regularly to passing. But most importantly, I feel much more comfortable in my own skin.
My gf @callmezoe.bsky.social made this amazing dinner tonight! I got the chance to assist in the magic and boy is it delicious. Italian sausage with roasted peppers and onions and a home made low carb "macaroni" and cheese.
We went on a campout and Astro went to the sitter's. I think he's more exhausted than I am.
Yesterday we went to the local Ren Fest. Definitely a fun adventure, but it's one where I should have worn sun screen and did not. I'm crispy today.
I regularly think I shouldn't have kids if my dog stresses me out so much. But today the dog trainer at PetSmart confirmed that we have an extra bouncy/over stimulated little guy. So maybe I still shouldn't have kids, but at least I'm not crazy that my dog can be *a lot*. He's also fucking adorable.
Today's daily reminder that in this political hellscape, find joy where you can. I'm finding it tonight at a Queer Comedy Pageant with my partner, Zöe. Giant progressive flag hanging outside in Downtown SLC. I love that for us.
Bluesky, meet Astro. He's my sleepy buddy right now. He loves other dogs the most and thinks he wants to be friends with cats but he scares cats so... Once you know him, he loves people too, but he takes a minute to warm up.
