I might be upset and exhausted today, but someday I am gonna have a place of my own and I'm gonna fill it with little succulents and other nice houseplants, and one morning I'm gonna wake up and there'll be sunlight coming in through the windows and everything's gonna be fine

“It actually originated… as a Gaelic festival” I say quietly over and over, dry and dusty voiced from below my headstone a hundred years from now.

My supervisor: good morning Jo! How are you this morning?
Me, externally: oh I’m doing okay!
Me, internally: still thinking about that dream

Went to the dentist yesterday and they asked me if I had any summer plans

… uh, yeah, my summer plans are to continue going in to work, where I get paid to go in and do things …

When I see a spider in my apartment

[Not a Girl 🏳️‍🌈 @acewriter42]

This morning when I left my apartment it was 30 degrees. Now it’s 55. When I leave work it’ll probably be in the 60s??? I don’t know how to dress for spring.

I love having a gender presentation that's confusing to cis people. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

[Not a Girl 🏳️‍🌈 @acewriter42]

I have learned that I don't actually mind if people assume my gender, so long as they are not assuming I'm a girl.

got called "sir" and "he" recently, and it was just like "idk why you assumed that but OKAY I GUESS, just so long as you aren't calling me ma'am!"

[Not a Girl 🏳️‍🌈 @acewriter42]

I am, in fact, not a man. or a woman. I'm nonbinary. but I get confused for a woman so often that I just get used to everyone thinking that. someone making a different assumption than usual is... refreshing, in a way. even though they were still wrong.
