I'm the rider with the trans flag and it's amazing how perfectly the other rider covered me up 😂

This was fantastic!

Have you seen these new Pizza Hut ads? I would love to "get my hut hit more often", but I don't think that's what they mean...

Some random thing I found on FB was a person asking whether married couples should have unlimited access to each other's phones. The number of people saying yes, and even that if they couldn't have that access that they would leave that person, is shocking.

Are the monogs ok???

If you are pissed about this but weren’t pissed about them cutting off medical care to trans children you are on step two of the “first they came for” poem

The irony of a "conservative" attacking "liberals" for "living in the past". There are multiple levels, and each one demonstrates complete failure to understand the ideas behind those terms.

From a video description: "Watermark by Enya, beautifully reimagined for piano"

Watermark is a piece of piano music. It was already a piano piece. Words mean things.

Someone described Yuu from Bloom Into You as "starts off aro". (Which is a bad way to talk about aro/ace folks.) This response was both highly accurate and really funny:

"Bloom - I read her as more of a confused demi top "blooming" when she finds her power bottom. The vibes are there."

Not ok. Not in danger. Not functional.

I would like to live just long enough to see certain people's heads on pikes. As reminders to the next 10 generations of US Citizens that some favors come with too high a price...

They look so good! Nice job!

And I'm glad you liked when I did that for you 🥰 I did too.

On a lighter note,

I woke up this morning and said to Miriam:

"I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.

And by TV I mean my imagination.

And by doctor, I mean kissing pretty girls."

And I kissed her.

More kisses are available ♥️

A meme composed of two images, which are frames from Babylon 5 with the text of the dialog from those scenes added, placed vertically is below. In the first image, an older person with light skin and a mustache lies against a pillow, visible from the chest up, is wearing an elaborate white shirt with what looks like a large medal on this chest. Text above him reads "How will this end?" The second image is a bit difficult to describe. An alien being within a large, heavy-looking outfit or enclosure, mostly brown and green with a pattern like light coming through a rippling water surface. Text reads "In fire."

What comes to mind when I think of the United States and the greater world right now?

Yeah, we should figure out the next time I can visit 💜

One genre of music I like is what I call music that sounds like you're playing a Playstation 2 era racing game. Which is why I have a bunch of house and trance CDs that I've picked up from thrift stores.

YouTube video by Meghan Allen Cat Doesn't Like The Sunlit Garden

I was trying to play The Sunlit Garden from Revolutionary Girl Utena. My cat, Purrsephone, had other plans for the keyboard just then.

Video is me sitting at a digital piano in a cluttered basement. Soon, a cat joins in.

It always brightens my day to see your beautiful face. Thank you for sharing those.

One thing you are good at is words. Very good. Your words make me feel things. Just sayin'

Image is a very cartoon style anthropomorphic animal, possibly a cat. She is lying back on a surface with her legs raised and her feet positioned kind of of like she's pedaling an imaginary bike. On the bottom of one foot, kitty toe beans are seen. On her upper arm, she is wearing trans pride colors. Text above the cartoon cat reads "I bet you like the autistic horny ramblings of trans girls don't ya :3"

Yes, it's true: I have a type.

Image is one measure of piano sheet music. The right hand part is playing a series of one octave dyads while the left hand part is playing an ascending glissando.

Trying, for the first time, to do two very different things with my hands at the same time. Progress is slow but satisfying.

I have connections I've built with people that I spent most of my life thinking I could never have. I have reached out in ways that I never could, looking for the things that I want, and gradually I am finding them. I existed for 40+ years, but now, post-transition, I am living. Happy this morning.

I really, really hope I hear back from the state of Illinois on my birth certificate sex correction soon.

I don't like automated narration of audiobooks either and would prefer a human for numerous reasons. But it's not AI. Authors who release audiobooks with machine narration are not using AI.

Miriam said I'm developing a special interest in pianos. But I just want to tell everyone I talk to about the material and design limitations in pianos, and about how inharmonicity is related to the length and thickness of the strings and stuff like that. Who wouldn't want to know all about that?

I hate having to give my name on the phone. I hate it so much.

No puppy girl, that's not an octave. That's a major sixth. You shouldn't write about sheet music without having it in front of you.

Also, do not ask me about music theory: I barely know enough to be dangerous 😂

I like being consciously aware of specific - Skills? Microskills? Technique? The bit of The Sunlit Garden I'm working on now is helping me learn to intuit when I've got my thumb and pinky an octave apart without looking.

We just
• woke up from a PTSD nightmare
• after only 2 hours of sleep
• with bad heartburn
• a horrible cough
• hiccups worsening the cough
• our BPD flaring from a fraught interpersonal week
• this is our everyday life now
• and will continue to be, if we can’t find housing & end up homeless

HELP.

One of the important things I learned in grad school is that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.

Though not that I've listened to them both again just now, I think this version of Dancing Mad is even better:
