(She/Her) 35 || 🏳️‍⚧️ trans and autistic horror fiction writer 👩‍💻💀

[Justine 🏄‍♀️ @justinesgender]

If you don’t know me, I’m Justine 👋🏻

I’m going through multiple transitions.

At 36 I’m transing my gender, getting divorced, changing careers, moving abroad, and finally pursuing my dreams: writing fiction, meditating and surfing.

I’m mostly a mess but I’m doing it.

Alright, since you decided to ask me, I'll tell you why the same guy you praise for "wonderful analysis" also concludes, based on the facts & evidence, that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza:

Hey everyone. I've got some blood work I need to have done to get my HRT refilled. I can't afford it due to my lack of insurance. The total cost of the blood work plus my HRT is about $300. So this is a mutual aid request for me. If you'd like to help, links below. Thank you.

This story, The Bridge by Kermit Woods, goes very hard. Check it out if you’re looking for some experimental horror. And if you understand the ending please explain it to me. https://t.co/gN8AABZvTG

#GAZA At the time of writing, our staff are witnessing people being shot at as they attempt to flee the Al-Shifa hospital.

I 12 pooled another Zerg and ate their hatchery and their drones before they could grow in the first minutes of the game, like a baby devouring another baby. A rite of passage.

My ex is going through something today and I think I was able to hold space a little and that felt good. I really like when I can be there for someone, and hear them fully and completely.

A lot of my most meaningful spiritual insights have come out of challenging situations like this, when I can barely figure out which way is up. I practice when it hurts, because it hurts, and sometimes something cracks.

There are few phrases as cursed as “high value man” or “high value woman.”

I found out my benefits kicked in November 1st, so the time has come for me to do what I fear most: schedule and attend appointments.

[Justine 🏄‍♀️ @justinesgender]

I had to complete a free-form self evaluation in writing today at work and I am way too articulate about my own shortcomings! I had to hit backspace and lot, and I felt really tired the rest of the day. I wish I could just honestly say I’m sad and it makes me slow.

[Justine 🏄‍♀️ @justinesgender]

I don’t know if I’m meant to be a mother in this life. It feels like it’s not meant to be. I’m 36 and up to my ears in trauma. I just want to pour love into the world and stay young in my heart, in whatever form that takes.

I think a part of my difficulty learning to read in Thai isn’t necessarily learning the letters or even the tone rules but just overcoming resistance to practice. I get irrationally upset. My brain is like: you should be spoken Thai or you should be English or nothing.

[Justine 🏄‍♀️ @justinesgender]

Work is so overwhelming today. It’s not even just adjusting to being at work again after being off - it’s the social stuff, the catching up, the potluck planning, the secret Santa questionnaire and the backlog of emails that need responses. I feel like I need another vacation.

[Justine 🏄‍♀️ @justinesgender]

#5amwritersclub doing some substantial editing and formatting this morning for 2 short stories. I’m thinking tomorrow I’ll do a quick pass of the first 10k of my novel and then keep writing.

Due to events in Bangladesh, Western clothing brands are expected to rise in price sharply

Tens of thousands of Bangladeshi textile workers working for major Western brands have gone on strike, demanding their wages be tripled

Even w/a corrupt political class & all their corporate sponsors & their propagandists dominating media coverage, the pro-Israel camp can never produce a demo of this scale b/c no amount of propaganda will convince ppl that killing children & denying freedom to Palestinians is ok.
