Emma the Elf

There have only been two times I've been completely overwhelmed by emotion when performing: speaking "Our revels now are ended" as Prospero at the end of musical adaptation of The Tempest, and singing Sunday.

this is a pro Sex Worker account.

SWERF & TERF are two sides of the same misogynistic coin.

all Sex Work should be decriminalized.

I'm at four sessions on my face, two more and I'll probably not have to shave in the morning again! Then it's just deciding where next...

This. Exactly this. I felt this so thoroughly in my bones I wrote a poem about it last year.

Brie: think it's that our experiences are far more universal than we realize because there's not a lot of easily accessible media demonstrating we all have these feelings and emotions and experiences before we crack Emoria: This is exactly it. The specifics are different, the melody is the same. Brie: And when you're trying to work it all out without ever breathing a word of it to anyone, you don't know you're singing four-part harmony with a chorus of thousands

@briesmith.xyz put it remarkably, we’re all singing together. We just didn’t know it at the time.

So unfair!! I've worked so hard already and my bed is so cosy...

But I have to go to work today 😭

Elves are built different cause they are AuDHD.

This elf is very tired now. Want to go back to sleep 😴

some people in the world say things like "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" or "love your neighbour as yourself" and it can take a while to realise they don't mean any of it

"why would you espouse a principle you don't wholeheartedly strive to uphold??"
— my neurodivergent ass

It's not perfect but it is a very strong motivator

Thinking of you both. A candle will be lit ❤️

AND I managed to go to therapy, film two demo videos, make a prop from scratch, and eat dinner. All in 36 hours.

What can I say, elves are built different 🥰

😊💕

✨💨🧝

Thaaaank you! ❤️

🥰🫂

Absolutely. I wasn't ready as much as I wanted to be. Plus some stuff like style I managed to start working out before starting HRT, but it's an interesting hypothetical to ponder

I nearly started in January 2021 but got scared. Given how little I did that year it's interesting to imagine what it would have been like to have been working stuff out then instead of now!

Thank you 🥰 and on a therapy day too!

Everyone say "Well Done, Emma!"

I've managed to complete three forms, issue three invoices, complete a contract, and half finished a festival application in less than 24 hours.

Me too 🥰

Chosen family is beautiful but also kinda weird because SOOO much of how we conceptualise family is drawn from the biological/nuclear family. Those who are in my chosen family I think of more as my flock at the moment.

Slightly intimidating, very gorgeous softie I would like to hug 🤗

Absolutely, it can be really nice. Think the only baking soda baked good I don't like is soda bread. Just prefer yeast bread.

But for other things the texture is excellent.

Yay!!!!!! You've got this Buppy!!!

Cover of paperback book titled "The Platypus of Doom and Other Nihilists" by Arthur Byron Cover. Image in the center of a large platypus in space. The platypus is wearing a bowtie.

Once upon a time you could go into a drug store and buy books with titles like this. Now you have to buy drugs.

Sounds like a really good idea, Maddie 🫂❤️

Can't overwork the dough or thousands of farmers wives and old church ladies will hunt you down

Will depend on the recipe, but here in Australia most don't have baking soda. Certainly no one in my family (using standard recipes) uses baking soda

And here's me presuming they must be different because you also have scones! I do love a scone 😋
