New #mutualaid post for October. I'm traveling out of state this month to Colorado to visit my fiance, and groceries are a lot more expensive here than where I live. I've raised enough for groceries for the next two weeks, but with little leftover.

Welcome to #TransTuesday!

National Coming Out Day is Oct 11, so let’s get into what can be a difficult and complicated issue for so many of us: COMING OUT AS TRANS.

And for the first time since Trans Tuesdays started, I reprint my own coming out thread!

I needed that. Thank you.

A still from the video of the moon above, in which a stunning orange full moon sits in the top right of a black sky. A picture of a back cat standing and facing the camera has been awkwardly edited on to the moon.

The video is so good I went to check it out for myself!

Regardless of if you celebrate the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, the Harvest Moon, or just making it through the day, every night we see is another one our enemies wish we hadn't.

Here's tonight's #FullMoon rising.

I hope if you have some clear skies you can look up and smile tonight. ❤️

A few good things from today:
- I practiced guitar
- It was lovely outside and felt like fall, with a slight drizzle and then an orange sunset
- tea
- candlelight
- sidewalk chalk

HANG UP YOUR SCIMITAR, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE DARK THOUGHTS. AND YOU WILL WIN.

If you've ever had to hide your gender identity you have never ever betrayed yourself

you've been betrayed by others who haven't created the space for you to be you

And we have to do better by you.

💕

Please remember to grab a bite to eat. 🍲

Hallows Eve by Elle Cordova is described by the artist as "like Monster Mash but more wistful." I hear something like Piano Man but Halloween. Definitely going on my personal must-listen list for future Octobers. 🎃

The little cat steps on the wizard's face, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with prickly pear fruit jelly and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of cranberry. As he eats, he reads the spellbooks that were delivered from magic interlibrary loan.

Which event involved more "But why?"

If you're in line [for the bathroom], stay in line.

9) People are, all things considered, pretty good.

I see twenty thousand people a day, and maybe two of them are assholes. Even on a stressful day, even in an unfamiliar environment, even hungry and tired and on a timer.

That's a *much* better ratio than folks realize.

Can we please swap the endless pink ribbons for a few posters that actually say something useful?

All the "breast cancer awareness" stuff irks me in its execution. There's barely any actual information like statistics, early signs, or tips for supporting someone going through it. Instead, it's just a ton of pastel pink, taking a lovely October and tossing in some clashing gender clichés.

What’s your autistic anthem?

I don't know about picking one anthem, in part because there are multiple ways to interpret the prompt, but let's see... One of many songs that reflects how I'm autistic is "Man, It's So Loud In Here" by They Might Be Giants. One I've had playing on a loop is "I Love Saturday" by Erasure.

A bully believes that kindness is weakness. A fool believes that bullying is strength. A true warrior knows that a bully is weak, and that compassion and kindness are strengths they could never comprehend.

Please take a little time to have some food. 🍲
