Well actually this was prompted by someone else saying as much but ty, that means a lot ❤️

It is apparently the destiny of every trans girl to one day become the "I can't believe she's worried she doesn't look good" girl to someone.

Seems pretty self explanatory to me.

She later claimed having "a guitar shape" was a very desirable thing and I should take this as a compliment 😆

Since this apparently requires explanation last night I was wearing a black dress. We also have a guitar lying around the house. My mother brushed past me while doing something and saw "a black thing with curves" out of the corner of her eye and thought I was a guitar that she almost knocked over.

New contender for strangest compliment(?) I have ever received, my mom mistook me for a guitar last night.

On vacation with family, and have been reminded that my 90+ year old grandfather, upon being told of my transition, responded "human civilization has only been around 5-6 thousand years, so it makes sense that our understanding of gender is still changing"

Going live with #cube4charity 2025, come watch me stream to raise money for The Trevor Project #wotcstaff

Going live now with cube4charity prep at twitch.tv/hogpog_98

Dealing with some technical issues but should be live soon, for all those waiting with bated breath for the 1 am cube stream updates.

Going to be doing a late night cube stream in a little over half an hour to prep for #cube4charity both by getting reps in and shifting my sleep schedule.

So excited to be back in the c4c streets! I'll likely stream a little practice this evening, our team is going to keep our streak going and crush it for sure 😤

Casting #AC10 later today and I am extremely excited. Casting the first major competitive event of an incredibly high power format like this is so cool and it's so sick that I get to do this!
#WOTCstaff

Spending thanksgiving (and the last few days) at home sick has definitely sucked, but I am profoundly grateful to have a life where I feel this way so rarely. I am surrounded by wonderful people who I love spending time with and do so constantly. Extremely thankful for the amazing people in my life.

Heading home after a wonderful PAX, spent my last day playing riftbound and living out my shrine dreams in TLA box team sealed (my deck had 10 shrines and I had all 5 in play more often than my opponents would have liked)

At PAX unplugged right now and have only gotten a little bit to wander the expo hall between working but this is so cool! Already picked up my clank catacombs expansion and super excited to play it. If you're at the event and want to meet me at some point, shoot me a message #wotcstaff

This is next week so bumping this, hoping to get to see some folks I know!

You look stunning!

Looks like I'm going to be at PAX Unplugged next month, who am I going to see there?

Big oof, that shit really sucks. Feel like I am constantly frustrated by people's inability to just not engage it really isn't that difficult! Sending support/hugs <3

I'm not in denial, I am simply raging against the dying of the light.

As someone with a frequent similar inner monologue, I can confidently say that you are great to be around and are never bothering anyone/folks around you are enjoying and appreciating your company.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
