"- Good job 'Fei, 'Ro's in another space. I totally lost my boyfriend. - What about you? Not reading the book I gave you? - Me? Naaah, I'm a streetrat remember? Gotta maintain the reputation."

I made this for the @gundamzine. I just want them to be fine now.

i was talking to my therapist last week about how i'm kinda excited but also equally apprehensive about starting grad school this fall because yes, i so so desperately needed a gap year otherwise i think i literally would have killed myself and/or had a breakdown big enough to land me in the hospital, and even beyond that i just needed to figure out a more concrete plan of what i'm going to do with my life in general -- while all of that is true, and i'm glad i took the gap year for it, i'm also apprehensive because i genuinely feel like an entirely different person than i was even at this exact point in time last year, nevermind anything earlier than that. it's only been a single year of me being out of school but my life has changed so dramatically, mostly for the better, and my whole personality has flipped on its head, it's just going to be so fucking weird going back to the same school, the same campus, potentially seeing my old friends around. augh

[todayisafridaynight]

Hey so Snap this is going to be so fucking weird, but honestly don’t care. So I was watching a clip of Drag Race Philippines and it was the make over episode and I think they were making over family members and this father was all about getting into drag. So, I just wanted to tell you never forget how much of a lovely loving kind and caring father you have, who loves you and protects you and makes you feel heard. That’s all.

i'd have to die before i forget how great my dad is thank you for the opportunity to brag about him again anon

Oh! I'm sorry for not explaining; I suppose you're pretty new to this world and the options it gives for transgender folks like you. It's true, hormones can't make your voice higher. But there's a series of guided vocal exercises that are designed specifically to help women like you sound more conventionally feminine!

The downside is that it takes a while, and a lot of effort. And in order to improve, you need to listen to your own voice. Which, ironically, might make you feel worse. Transition is something that's personal to you, and there's no singular right way to do it. Still, please keep it in mind.

Where might I find these exercises? What library must I venture to in search of this new skill?

Even should the cost be great, I have time unlimited and am well accustomed to the particular pain of this existence. I can cast illusions of my sister's voice if I really must, but such is difficult in daily speech and reservèd I keep that skill for the guidance of Undead through a programmed image. To achieve a similar sound without magic seemeth unthinkable, yet this world is filled with wonders. I am here to learn all that I can, and this shall be no different.

I got a terrible reminder how much older generations were brainwashed to think that they have to shut down any discomfort to keep working and take pride in that

I was waiting for mom to finish her MRI scan and this old lady prompted a chat with me, clearly distressed and with voice you could tell is on verge of tears. She was shaking from all the anxiety and distress.

she was visibly anxious and worried, the doctors and nurses didn't give her instructions that could help her understand but the nurses at this facility told her to sit and wait before they come back to explain to her along with needed papers

she assumed they basically left her hanging, just like they did on previous medical institutions, as she explained to me

she had terrible luck with both nurses and doctors who kept convincing her she's "fine and should not have come for the doctors appointment" while this woman went through three heart interventions and a hip surgery and is under distress because either her therapy was unclear or the checkups she still has to do

I listened and watched this woman get progressively redder in face from rising blood pressure because she was trying hard not to cry. I sat and calmly shared the general troubles we have with medical institutions nowadays and that, while perfectly valid to be upset, she should not allow them to make her health even worse with their lack of care and that she should look after herself

Then she started explaining how she feels bad bothering nurses and doctors at this point, as if it was her fault that she's ill. I suddenly flashbacked to my grandmother and mother from just few years ago

Like, no! It's their job to care, even if hypothetically she could be fine, it's their job to be there and ask how they can help even if she comes in and visits every single day

She told me she even got fired when she was 50 the firm bankrupted and no one was to hire anyone at her age so she had to push through the pension with works not fit for someone with her health, making it even worse over the years

Her distress and mentality of having to be quiet, take it in and just abide to her obviously mean doctor (who told her "I'm sure you won't die from that") and nurses who didn't want to bother with her made ME distressed. Because I HAVE seen this happen to my mom, I HAVE heard this happen to my family members and I KEEP HEARING that's just a norm now. Frustrating!

Luckily, as the nurse at this facility said, came back with papers, calmly explained to her where to go, what to do, wrote everything down and answered her further questions. She was so overjoyed and thankful she kept giving her thanks to this nurse, left outside, came back and thanked me for a chat and told me how much it meant to her at the moment. I was just waiting and killing time, a chat was welcome on my end as well but I got worried about this woman too.

When she left I just felt mad. I can't believe how much it all sounded like basically any of my older family members who just learned to be quiet and take the problems in, to push through and continue to somehow prove they're still fit to serve the society

I can't believe they still want to push this rhetoric down the throats of recent generations and it's so much easier for them to do because so many are struggling now

But they don't deserve that. Please, remember, you will thank yourself in the future. Don't let them think you're only fit to live in society if you can work and offer something to them...

[scattered-winter]

I really wish my mom would just fucking. respect the fact that I have no desire to be religious and that I don't know if I ever will be because it feels like she's subtly trying to convince me to come back and idk. I just kinda wish she'd respect the fact that I don't want to have anything to do with it
