Today I spent 3 hours doing all the receipts and expenses from Advent + Youth Lock-In ☠️ I had to cope by using the creative part of my brain—a prayer to send to our families with children and educators as they head back to school tomorrow. Maybe it will bless you too.

I believe you did your best today.

My partner is returning from several days with her non-affirming family since coming out. Which means today #EDrecovery looks like me making her comfort meal for dinner.

It just so happens that her comfort meal is one of my top fear foods. But being present with her matters more than my fear ❤️

(I don't support J.K. Rowling's views, but sometimes my mental health needs take priority. Engaging with the Wizarding World can be a helpful and safe outlet for me.

I also donated double the cost of the game to local trans support groups in the city to help my conscience.)

The most lesbian thing I’ve said in a long time: in the HP Quidditch game, petite ol’, religious pacifist me is an unreasonably good beater—the one whose job it is to hit other players with the iron ball and tackle them for *no reason*

I am a rugby lesbian of Quidditch.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

You are not alone, and this will not last forever.

Something will shift. Something always shifts. In the world, in nature, in your neural pathways and your own, dear heart. You are not trapped in this moment forever.
