Blåhaj’s second tattoo: balloons! As you doubtlessly intuit, these are the underwater analogue to a sailor’s anchor tattoo. Colors chosen completely at random, obvi. No meaning there.

Celebrating the love between a girl and her shark by giving Blåhaj an embroidered tattoo of my initial, just like I have a tattoo of her. Embroidering is pretty cool, so I suspect that this isn’t the end of tattoos. For either of us.

99.1% Weird, Fucked-Up Saline.

Okay so we doing trans girl Pokémon types now. I invite everyone to propose my typing (with a palpable sense of dread because I know @estuarywitch.bsky.social is out there ready to call me a Slut/Puppy or Puppy/Slut, whichever is worse, neither of which, I am certain, truly encompasses my nature.)

I have been given my discharge papers! I am going home! Consider this bottom: surgeried.

Good morning friends! Damn, I good for a dame who got chopped last night. Anyway I am sore and sleepy and stuck in bed for a week but all is well. I did the thing.

Check in time is noon on Monday.

Some “Lara’s pee” news for the freaks out there: if all goes according to plan, this gender-neutral Cap Hill bathroom features the last urinal I shall ever use!

Holy shit holy shit holy shit Y'all the scheduler called TODAY. My life is being ever-so-slightly upended. But, uh. Ya girl's doing the thing. In three weeks.

The rave theme is Sports. So my derby gear, lying fallow since I got fucking arthritis, will suffice.

Oh hey, I missed it at the time but I had an itty bitty cameo in @rosalarian.bsky.social’s comic, Magical Women (amongst several others filling out a collection of random faces). I look pretty cute. (It’s a LARP sword, although the illustration could be a spankin’ paddle. This is not a complaint!)

The last hour of my very good vacation to California. I saw good friends I had not seen in years! I got hella stoned, I bawled in a movie theater, and I stayed with the best hosts I could ask for twice in a row. What a totally fabulous time.

I’m on a train! I love this! Yeah okay it is much slower than flying and not appreciably cheaper but hot DAMN if it isn’t more comfortable by far. (And yes, there is only a selfie in this post because my tits look really good today, I am a simple girl, really.)

Thank you! Polearms are so cool! (Pictured: an elven warrior glaive I got for my birthday!)

Finally updated my lock screen for Pride and also maybe forever? (Panel from Yellow Brick Ramble by @daisyfm.net; it makes me smile whenever I see it and also the comic is real good y’all.)

Hello my name is Larabella Dynamite and my rack looks good in this top.

Happy new piercing day to meeeeee! Unrelated: holy shit does tucking my hair behind my ear hurt all of a sudden.

Unacceptable to bury this beautiful line in the alt text.

Not only is this panel (from @planetx.bsky.social’s Galaxy: as the World Falls Down) the precise dimensions of a Bluesky profile banner, it’s noticeably blank riiiiight where the avatar goes. How about that. (Also go read G:atWFD and everything else Galaxy, she rocks.)

Far be it from me to not do as I’m told.

Y’all, if you are in or around Everett WA today, come to the Bayside Cafe for the first ever Evergreen Zine Fest! I will have games, other folks will have other delights, and you can get food at the best vegan restaurant in Washington.

It’s Library Worker’s Day and Lesbian Visibility Week, so check out your local lesbrarian.

Autism Awareness Day! I know I was JUST visible, but now you gotta be aware of me too. (Feels weird to have those right on top of each other given how extensive the overlap is, but whatever. I can accept a gift that counts for both days.)

Trans Day of Visibility! Look! You can change what makes you miserable. Look! Trans people can be happy and successful. Look! We exist, have always existed, will always exist. Look! We are trying so hard to make space for everyone. Being visible is a privilege and responsibility. Happy TDoV.

… checks out.

I slept in a TENT.

Exciting! Here’s my most recent selfie. (Ignore the plaid boffer sword. Or don’t, I guess, I don’t know what’s going on in the panel.)

For an upcoming zine fest I asked a friend to make stickers of the trans battle flag (by @jackalpants.bsky.social ). Because he’s a madlad he made regular, glossy, sparkly, starfield, and matte translucent variants. Also I asked for 2 dozen and got like 60. Gonna slap these fuckers everywhere.

… Animal Crossing, you can’t just copy me like this what the fuck.
