I ordered a bunch of absolutely gorgeous teas (one pictured here) from @FridayTea, and they were SO KIND, sending me sample packs of two extra teas in addition to the rest of my order. Absolutely made my week!

Love you all!

Okay. So we watched Puss In Boots 2 tonight, and it was actually really good. Couple things I didn't expect, though:

1. Jeff the Killer's fursona
2. A reference to Kitten Mittens
3. A remake of Tarkovsky's "Stalker"

Ever have one of those mornings where you keep bursting into tears unprovoked?

Haha yeah me neither

I'm pissing myself laughing. Getting ready to board my flight home at EWR. FOUR DIFFERENT GATE ANNOUNCERS are trying to talk over each other.

This has happened all five times *any* of them have tried to make an announcement in the last fifteen minutes.

"Pondwater LaCroix"

That's how my partner just described Jersey water. Never in my life have I heard something so accurate.

@abcdemally That said, I can't wait to get the *fuck* back to Washington.

Cross-country flight for two? $1400

Seven-day car rental? $345

Gas for that car? $40

Getting deadnamed and misgendered so hard by relatives that you drive halfway across the state to quietly cry about it in the parking lot of your favorite diner?

FUCKING PRICELESS.

"Let's play Monopoly."

Okay. Now you're just TRYING to start a fight.

How's #Thanksgiving2022 going? Well:

Got deadnamed for an hour straight.

Went on a Very Nice Walk.

Had coffee.

Got told by my older sister that I "look like I'm into trend diets" (WTF does that mean?)

Got sent to a silent living room for "being in the way" by talking.

👍

It begins.

Family is here, all packed into a single inn. Everyone is visiting from out of town.

The tension is so bad I think I'm gonna hurl.

[Ash_Type_E 🏳️‍⚧️ @Ash_Type_E]

@abcdemally It was wonderful seeing them!!! 😍😍

First Thanksgiving as The Out Trans Daughter in my family for #Thanksgiving2022

Things are going swimmingly.

My mother has lectured me about the evils of devil-summoning only 4 times.

We just had a 20-minute argument about what a cut-glove is called.

[Ash_Type_E 🏳️‍⚧️ @Ash_Type_E]

My partner and I have returned to the 24-hour diner on the other side of the state to meet friends for dinner.

We have ended up in the exact same booth we got breakfast in 2 days ago.

Update on mom:

She just made the connection of "cut-glove" meaning "glove used for cutting" and has stopped calling them "not-cut-gloves"

Help make a trans girl have an awesome year?

Final assessment after almost 90 minutes of delays:

The amount of feminizing procedures they would recommend is delightfully minimal. Super excited to start getting it cleared with insurance. (Like, actually hyped to eventually get the green light on this)
