She/Her, trans woman, reader, sponge of practical knowledge. Chicago-adjacent. Happily married, so I block chasers.
I kept telling myself it was too late, you'll never pass, you'll lose everyone you care about. I came out at 57, and I'm now 59. None of those things were true (we'll, I also realized I didn't care about "passing").
Obligatory video of awesome musicianship by @brianrosenworcel.bsky.social from Friday night's @guster.bsky.social show in Chicago! He's really getting his hands back in shape.
Love @brianrosenworcel.bsky.social sporting an @theonion.com t-shirt tonight!
I had a nice salad packed for lunch, but I couldn’t get it out of my head and so..
I got to chaperone a teen queer prom last month, which meant I got to dress up. :)
Well, I'm not travelling to Kansas any time soon. Sorry, but you have to read these three snippets from bottom up.
One last plug for it - please join us this evening if you can! 6:00 pm at the Geneva (IL) Public Library. @heightenedscrutinydoc.com
Chicago area friends, please join me this Wednesday 1/7/2026 at the Geneva Public Library for a free screening of this documentary! Thank you @heightenedscrutinydoc.com and @samfeder.bsky.social for their assistance, and @lillywachowski.bsky.social for the Chicago screening that inspired this one.
New Jersey peeps (@zoewithasword.bsky.social), two opportunities to see Heightened Scrutiny this weekend in New Jersey! Join the call to action to help protect access to life-saving gender affirming health care. Please go see this excellent movie and spread the word! @heightenedscrutinydoc.com
NGL, a mini euphoria moment getting a compliment on my nail color from the woman behind me in the Walmart checkout line.
Turkey brine is made (a bit late, but oh well) and turkey is in it. Making the cranberry sauce now…
I just left a screening of @samfeder.bsky.social’s movie, followed by a Q&A with him that included the lovely @lillywachowski.bsky.social. This a wonderful, important film. If it is screening anywhere near you make the effort to see it. If it is not, request it!
I'm having a decent hair day, and the copier repairman complimented my outfit. I'll count it as a win!
