what doesn’t kill me leaves a pit in my stomach that never goes away

[caspercryptid]

The really unfortunate thing about mental health progress is that sometimes you realize you've made it in the form of "wow, I haven't felt this bad in a fucking while"

[caspercryptid]

On the one hand it's a bit of a pick me up in a dark place to know that this will pass because it has passed before on the other hand sometimes it isn't entirely a pleasant thought to go "wow, I used to feel like this all the time. That was pretty fucking bad. It's pretty bad right now too also."

Someday your current baseline will be the sort of thing you consider A Really Bad Day. It does get better.

what a privilege it is to come home to a little animal that loves you like you're their whole world.

N and I cuddled at the end of the night yesterday, me kind of... half-laying on them, and it felt really nice. They said I could fall asleep on them like that if I wanted to, and I probably will tonight. 💕

Lyssa got me a really comfy, soft yellow checked jacket for Christmas, and I've been wearing it at work (in place of my normal work jacket, which is slightly shorter and red checks). My GM said, "Hey! You have a new color!" and I said, "Yeah! My wife got it for me!"

Also, I got a Finch account recently and am really enjoying it. (Any mutuals want to be friends?)

not femme as in small, fragile, delicate thing but femme as in "you can come home to me, and then we'll be okay'

btw i'm ignoring or even blocking (mood dependent) anyone who says "b-but what about both 🥺🥺" read the room. this is for loud femmes, fat femmes, femmes of color, genderqueer femmes, trans femmes, intersex femmes, any beautiful combination of the above and any other femme who has had to fight for their place amongst the stereotypes we see in our community. if you like to comment on your meekness, whatever idc yolo do what you want. don't attach it to your femmeness. please. not only for my sake but for yours

Digital oil series titled 'Together' featuring a Black queer sapphic couple on a first date and on their wedding day.

Shoutout specifically to black femmes. Their hair, their nails, their makeup. All the forms of nuanced gender expression they have that wider society refuses to acknowledge. Sapphic spaces are better for having y'all in it.
