I have come up with a better metaphor than “you can’t pour from an empty cup” for burnout. You can’t boil an empty kettle. Pouring from an empty cup just gets you nowhere. Trying to boil an empty kettle can ruin the kettle, the stove, and burn down your house if you keep trying it.
Your fat body is not a placeholder for a "better" you. It IS you. And you deserve love and respect NOW.

[ID: Eight dimly-lit, atmospheric photos of bats (they look like flying foxes, to me, but again: dimly lit). Five of the photos show a single bat in flight, from assorted angles. One shows the V-like silhouettes of two bats in flight. One shows two bats hanging upside down from a branch, their wings half-spread. The last photo shows a single, hanging bat from directly below, the bat looking down into the camera with large, dark, gleaming eyes. The bats in the photos are mostly crisp, while the dim but pale backgrounds are foggy and out of focus. /end ID]

I am writing to ask you to consider sharing a petition. I don't know how far the story has spread, but a non-binary high schooler in Oklahoma (where i live) named Nex Benedict was killed as a result of an attack at Owasso High School two weeks ago. They were attacked on school property.
The state of Oklahoma School Superintendent, Ryan Walters, who has spent his tenure focused on book bans, villainizing teachers, fighting "the woke agenda," and whatever will get him on Fox news. As a part of this he has formed partnerships with the Moms for Liberty and Libs of Tiktok person, Chaya Raichik.
All of these actions include a near constant barrage of attacks on the lgbtqia community. As an lgbtqia person myself, with kids who are also part of the community, including non-binary children, i am incredibly saddened by Nex's death, and worried about the safety of my own children in this state.
It's just a petition and i know the impact feels limited. It feels small to me, but i would like to ask you to share it in the hopes that it might bring some news coverage and open talks in this state about removing this public official for the good of the community.
I appreciate your time and attention. (Obligatory big fan, because I am.)
The petition can be found here: https://chng.it/CvHz2J8QW4
Thanks.
Happy to share it.
Hold Ryan Walters responsible for his role in Nex Benedict's death
I haven't put in effort into paining in a long awhile heehee :O)

"everybody experiences that" says mother who has the same symptom of the same mental illness
"Plus size clothes have more fabric so they should be more expensive"
... ok, so where exactly is the cutoff? A Small garment has more fabric than an Extra Small. A Medium has even more. A Large more still. And somehow they all cost the same, because it's understood that people come in different sizes.
Where is the line separating equal pricing and Fat tax? Who gets to draw it?

Here is a little comic I made about some thoughts I’ve been having recently. I don’t ID as transmasc, and I have noticed that since I’m nonbinary and AFAB, some people in queer circles (online and irl) label me as transmasc! This has increased since I started T. Much love to my transmasc siblings, but I don’t identify with that term, and it misgenders me.
I figured if there’s not a lot of acknowledgement or discussion about non-transmasc and non-transfem people who physically transition, I can make some myself :)
Thank you to @/rjalker for the ID below!
[ID: A nine panel comic, done is low-saturated colors, mostly featuring soft yellow and shades of blue and purple.
Panel 1 reads, “I am an AFAB trans person on T.” showing a surface with a towel, and an open packet that reads, “1% 25mg”.
Panel 2 continues: “And I’m not transmasc.” and shows a rainbow flag, and a nonbinary flag hanging above some jewelry.
Panel 3 shows a person walking on a hill, the sky pale yellow and the ground in shades of blue. It reads, “My gender isn’t woman, or man, or adjacent to either, or neutra/ ‘in-between’.” The venus and mars symbols float in the air, in red and blue.
Panel’s 4, 5, and 6 read, “It’s a separate, other, gender.” Showing shoes worn under a light blue skirt, a person wearing a shirt, jeans, and vest waving, and a person without clothes floating among stars.
Panel 7 reads, “Queer people who know I’m on T, or even just know that I’m AFAB, often think I’m transmasc.” “They label my experiences automatucally.” The same person from before is shown between the two sentences, sweating nervously as though being trapped.
Panel 8 reads, “It feels like misgendering. From people who should know better.” The person is shown sittign facing away from the camera, head bowed, lifting one arm across zir shoulder, where half a dozen flags have been stabbed into zir back like arrows, all dark blue, and marked with either the blue mars, or pink venus symbol.
Panel 9 reads, “'Masculinizing’ HRT doesn’t mean I’m transmasc.” Next to a small picture of the person smiling away from the camera, wearing blue glasses, with stubble on zir chin. The next small image is of the chemical symbols for testosterone, with text next to it that reads, “It doesn’t mean my gender is male, or male-adjacent.” Followed by another small picture of the person, smiling with hearts next to zir face, wearing the nonbinary pride flag like a blanket or cape.
The yellow background fades downward into the nonbinary flag, with stripes of yellow, white, purple, and black, here with the purple and black in shades of blue. The text reads, above a final drawing of the person, wearing a pink sweater and a blue skirt, smiling up at the camera and surrounded by small sparkles, “It just means I’m a nonbinary, genderqueer person who is becoming more like zirself. And that just happens to involve HRT!” with a smiley face emoji at the end.
End ID.]
It bothers me a little how with all the drag bans happening, there seems to be this thing where folks are holding up pieces of media that have drag in them (usually cis men dressing as women), and talking about how these are now banned in those states. I think the point is about how a lot of old, classic media featured drag, and now all of a sudden it's a bad thing? Like "you didn't care about this then, why now?" sort of gotcha aimed at conservatives. But those posts usually feature media that is considered problematic. Most of them feature cis men "dressing as women" as joke, as a way to dehumanize trans women. An not to say to through all those movies, tv shows, and plays right in the trash, I know even being problematic they gave trans folks something meaningful, but we need to be very aware that those things were acceptable largely because cis people saw them as funny, and as a way to make fun of trans folks. Especially if you're a cis person making these lists.
Used the mermaid prompt on sketch dailies as an excuse to do a nice thing of one of my manatee mermaids. And a manatee! X3 Mixed media on toned grey paper!
