i first came out a month before the election, and when november rolled around was one of the scariest months of my life. i felt trapped between a rock and a hard place: risk my life being out, or hurt myself going back in the closet.

the thing that kept me out, kept me transitioning, was knowing that if i walked proud others might see it as still an option

being obviously trans is like being a lighthouse, so that others starting their journey can see a path forward

It's interesting to me that "emoticon" and "emoji" look so similar but are etymologically unrelated.

"emoticon" - "emotion" + "icon"

"emoji" - 絵 ("e", meaning "picture" or "art") + 文字 ("moji", meaning "(written) character" or "kana")

Brooklyn Nine Nine got cancelled. I can’t bear the thought of Andy Samberg being sad :( We cry together pals

Happy Monday, folks.

I find setting my intentions for the day really helps. If I know what I intend for the day, I can pace myself a lot easier which really helps in maintaining my self care on a day to day basis.

There's always going to be something that needs to be done, but you don't have to do it all at once.
