Woke up this morning and looked out my window to see a Venus skyline. I've never seen the sky so yellow in my life... Definitely feels like waking up to a dystopian nightmare. Apparently caused by wildfire smoke combined with the heatwave. Air quality is bad. Stay indoors in Southern Ontario.
Very saddened by the news of Sam Neil's death. Most people will remember him from his role as Dr. Grant in Jurassic Park. But I'll always remember him most for his role as Dr. Weir in Event Horizon. Sam's work in film enriched so many lives. RIP Sam, where you're going you won't need eyes to see.
Beauty privilege is buying a 1994 Tyco Battletech Axeman mech toy (near mint & near complete) for 1/3 of the original seller asking price and almost 1/2 of my offer price. I'm really not used to this... 😅 #Transition #Battletech #MechGirl
Blue within blue eyes... I must have spent too much time around the spice of Arrakis. 😂
Day 10 post-op. Still quite sore, but pain is getting a little more manageable. Still adapting to new centre of gravity and spatial awareness. Also starting to feel like my nerve tissues are regenerating. Good morning, Bluesky. 🦋 #Transition #GenderAffirmingSurgery
Day 8 post-op: Sutures on my throat & breasts removed + drain tubes on my sides finally taken out today! No signs of infections, everything seems to be healing adequately on schedule. After 17 weeks I also finally received confirmation of my legal name change, and my new birth certificate arrived!
Day 5 after surgery. Starting to need painkillers less frequently. Starting to regain some range of movement. Gave myself a sponge bath and dolled up a bit; made a huge difference to my mood. Desperate to get these drain plugs removed and take this damn bra off even for just 10 minutes. Patience...
I survived, bitches! #Transgender #MTF #GenderAffirmingCare #BA #TrachealShave
Squeeked in my 13th laser hair removal treatment of my face/neck just 2 weeks ahead of my surgery. Burns like hell, hopefully this got the remaining darker hairs gone permanently.
1/ Nearly two-thirds of Canadians support Canada joining the European Union. This demonstrates just how far Trump's threats to our sovereignty have dismantled our longstanding trust and reliance with the USA, and forced us to reassess our place in a more dangerous world. I welcome this. #cdnpoli 🇨🇦🇪🇺
Despite a June release date on their website, EB Games got the Jakks Sonic the Hedgehog Wave 24 figures in early! I managed to get Tikal in time for my daughter's birthday! (Oh, and another one for my collection too, of course! 😉) Now we just need E-102 Gamma to complete the Sonic Adventure roster!
Due to some delays caused by my insurance, my surgery was postponed for 3 weeks. But finally, the insurance payment has been issued. Surgery date is locked in: May 19! 🚫 🍎🪚 ✅️ 🍉🍉 A lifetime of waiting. Now it feels all too real.
It occurred to me this past weekend while attempting to prove to a trio of trans friends that I still look "like a man" that I, in fact, do not. 😅 I cannot even boymod effectively anymore. Even attempting my old voice is laughable. I just look like some tomboy who stole her ex-boyfriend's hoody. 😂
Finished my 14th and "final" laser hair removal treatment. Aside from occasional touch-ups, this aspect of my #transition is finally completed. And less than 2 months until my first gender affirming surgeries. A few years ago I never imagined I could get here. Progress is possible with commitment.
Consultation complete! First surgeries scheduled! It feels surreal. Can't believe this is happening soon! But I'm locked in and committed. We go forward; only forward.
4 hours of skiing and then 4 hours of dancing in the same day. 😁✌️ #Unstoppable #TransJoy
Hello you beautiful people. The news is horrible. So much is out of our control. This feeling isn't fatigue. It's mourning. Mourning a world order we once knew, felt safe in, and understood. But a new day will dawn, and the sun will shine even brighter. Breathe. We will survive, and endure.
Happy Friday, everyone. Make sure to hydrate, get outside and touch some snow, take deep breaths, and create some joy. The state of our geopolitics can be overwhelming. But be mindful of how much negativity you're consuming. You're no good to anyone if you're burned out. 😘✌️ We'll survive this...
The 2 extremes of Canadian winter fashion. Army greatcoat works great when you gotta shovel 3 feet of snow in blistering winds. Beneath it though, I'm still wearing my summer crop top. 😅
Y'all, seriously... MAGA gov wanting to invade Greenland (=war with NATO). ICE murdering a woman on camera. EU/Canada not helping Ukraine enough. The stress from 2026 is already too much... For my sanity's sake, gunna disengage from news for 24 hours, touch snow, and enjoy my new cat-ear toque.
Happy New Year, bitches! 🥳🎉🎆 Wishing for victory & a just peace for Ukraine.🇺🇦 Wishing for strategic autonomy for the EU.🇪🇺 Wishing for a stronger, more united Canada that aligns closer to Europe.🇨🇦 Wishing for healthy progress on my transition.🏳️⚧️ Wishing for better days ahead. 🌍 #HappyNewYear
Those pre-HRT and early HRT months are ROUGH. But as I and many other trans people will attest; it gets better, you just have to be patient. Things get even better when you put in the hard work to achieve your goals. The journey of becoming who you are is not always easy, but it is rewarding.
Yesterday was officially my 1-year HRT #Tranniversary. It hasn't been easy. But this was something I knew I had to do. I made a promise to my future self to see this through, and I'm 1 year of progress closer. The next 1-2 years will see even more changes and challenges, but I'm ready for them.
We actually did the meme in Toronto last night. 💃 #JonHamm #Clubbing #MillennialClubbers #TurnTheLightsOff #KATO
I had the honour of meeting @heathermcpherson.bsky.social in Oshawa tonight. We discussed foreign policy, defence policy, electoral reform, pharmacare, infrastructure, and more. She is intelligent, articulate, principled & pragmatic, etc. I think she is an excellent choice to lead the NDP. #cdnpoli
