Last Notes npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ for whomever needs it* *me, probably https://files.strangeobject.space/media_attachments/files/113/317/518/484/710/686/original/9d1bd27781a14f23.jpeg npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Good morning, denizens of the multiverse. What are you going to do to experience a small joy today? npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Tag yourself, I’m slutty they/them https://files.strangeobject.space/media_attachments/files/113/193/252/468/191/623/original/bfca803a25bacb77.jpeg npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ One common complaint about queer comedies I’ve seen is “it’s unrealistic for everyone in a friend group to be queer!!!” And: lol. lmao. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ My new cuddle buddy is aroace and I’m a hypersexual hopeless romantic and we have decided this makes for a good basis for a queer comedy series. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Is this a thing that has happened in the past? npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ If you’re not already familiar, I recommend learning about DARVO ("deny, attack, and reverse victim & offender"), a common tactic of psychological abusers. One you understand how it works, you will recognize it…with unfortunate frequency. IME this pattern is so common and normalized that once you’re paying attention to it, you’ll realize abusers tell on themselves very quickly. When people tell you who they are, believe them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARVO npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Thinking about how Docs with purple laces flags you as gay/queer in punk/skinhead culture and into needle play in Leather culture (fortunately this works for me in either context). Also thinking about how red laces flag you as either a Nazi skin OR as anarchist/communist in punk/skinhead culture *depending on geographical location* …and into fisting in Leather culture. Context matters! npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Girls only want one thing and it’s disgusting. What is it? (wrong answers only) npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ “Why were we taught to fear witches instead of those that burned them at the stake?” npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Is your girl stacked? Does she fall apart easily? Does she like when a group of people plays with her? She’s not your girl, she’s a Jenga tower. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Pretty annoyed at my former self for rolling her eyes at things like “journaling,” “affirmations,” “mindfulness,” and “positive self-talk.” None of these things are panaceas, but how you relate to yourself and talk to yourself absolutely matters. If you wouldn’t let someone bully your friends, don’t let yourself bully you. Allow yourself the same love you pour into the world. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ How do you create purpose and meaning for yourself and your life? npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ I needed this. Maybe you do too. https://files.strangeobject.space/media_attachments/files/113/103/345/052/631/628/original/d29f7606deb40ce9.jpeg npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Yeah, actually. While the support groups are “just show up,” this social requires pre-registering by emailing someone first, so I can reach out them. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ There’s a queer billiards social at the queer community center tonight I could maybe go to but I feel like I spent my spoons going to the fail support group there last night npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Home. Gonna play more No Man’s Sky. I’ve been in a spiral over the past week+ now and I’ve been coping by focusing on style/fashion/makeup instead of Posting Through It this time. Therapist 1 cancelled our appointment this week. I tried to set up an appointment with Therapist 2, but she’s on vacation. Decided to go to the support group, since Wednesday evenings usually aren’t free. Another miss. I feel so alone and stuck and it seems like the Universe is laughing at me for trying. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Go to the queer community center to be social and find community they said. It will be fun, they said. So many wasted spoons getting myself to this. Ugh. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Yeah we’re leaving. Waste of time. 🙃 npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Well this meeting started 15 minutes ago, there are only two of us here, and neither of us are the facilitator. 🙃 Maybe I should facilitate my own support. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Made to the disability support group at local queer community center. It’s my first time here, ever. 💜 (I tried to go to a transfem support group here a decade ago and was turned away, so I’ve been hesitant to try again since coming out) npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ I tried to post pics and it didn’t work. Instance issue? npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ I think a lot of hate towards people being their authentic selves and living intentionally is the haters not having the courage to do the same for themselves. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Frog friend! https://files.strangeobject.space/media_attachments/files/113/028/830/938/025/712/original/4071d9415d632efe.jpeg npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ finding your people helps you realize there was never anything wrong with you npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Harry Potter tattoos have a higher regret rate than gender affirming surgeries. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ It’s never too late to transition. First pic: Feb 2023, the day I came out and decided to transition. Second pic: August 2024, 18 months later Treat yourself to authentic living and joy, you deserve it and are worth it. #TransitionTimeline https://files.strangeobject.space/media_attachments/files/113/018/444/215/466/444/original/6d11e9d6445252be.jpeg https://files.strangeobject.space/media_attachments/files/113/018/444/405/887/598/original/cc0c959b9c435533.jpeg npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ I am, please pass along! npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ the scary witch in the woods is just a queer and neurodivergent woman trying to live her best life, leave her alone npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ So many “villains” in stories are just marginalized people who are sick of being treated like shit npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ I’m a very visual person, so find myself on Pinterest a lot, secondary to Masto, and I’d love an ad and tracking free version of it. Literally I just get to search, collect, and organize pictures into different boards, and it’s a very grounding activity, even if there’s no “material results” from doing so. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Pretty bad brain morning. Will you share with me a way I have positively impacted you in some way? 💜 npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Thank you! I’ve never considered Ruby before, but it jumped out at me more than I expected. Added to my list! npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Yeah, I need a fae femme name, perhaps that starts with T, but I don’t want to limit myself. Open to ideas, if anyone has any. 💜 npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ If I choose a new middle name that evokes the doll and starts with T, I can use Jade T. Pixel, use JT for short again, and keep Jade as armor. This time first + middle initials instead of first + last initials. 🤔 npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ From college onward, I went by the nickname JT, which I actually still kind of vibe with, and blogged and kink’d under the name J.T. Revner. JT is my birth name initials. I’ve always been picky about names and identity and because my birth name and last name are so boring and common, I had considered legally changing my name to J.T. Revner before I came out as trans. However, as I got more into a career and moving in tech spaces, I dropped that name completely and went back to birth name, until I came out. Jade really is the name of my main protector part, and now I feel like I want to pick a name for the doll part as I unmask and embody her more. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ I asked that question about names both because I’m finally going to file for a name change on Friday but also have been weighing the idea of making some changes. Jade feels like armor to me, armor that is me, yes, but no longer quite evokes how I feel. One thought is that government ID doesn’t define me and is perhaps the perfect place to use this armor. My current middle name is Ember, which I like a lot, but am not sure I actually want to be called it by others (I also really haven’t tested this). Last name is Pixel because fuck my dad but mostly because Rule of Cool and it sounds like the last name of a cyberpunk protagonist. Life is too short not to have fun. I also have a True Name, I’ve only shared with a few people, but frankly after recent events, that one doesn’t feel great either. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ you’re doing great bitch keep it up npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ > We’re we here fuck we’re shit queer up https://files.strangeobject.space/media_attachments/files/112/990/995/930/352/308/original/70a6f6a83cec916f.jpeg npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ It’s been an interesting 18 months for sure. Excited for the next 18! #TransitionTimeline https://files.strangeobject.space/media_attachments/files/112/979/794/162/083/613/original/369ef929a0cd02f2.png npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ No, it’s not sarcastic. I’m so used to invasive questions about my transition that being able to share that I’m recovering and simply being wished well, without her asking for details, was a positive interaction. Most of my family are very nosy and don’t respect boundaries. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ My aunt texted me to see how I’m doing and I told her I’m recovering from surgery and she did NOT ask me what kind of surgery I got and, wow, how refreshing. More of this please. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Thank you! npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Today is the day! https://files.strangeobject.space/media_attachments/files/112/970/826/575/730/282/original/f32cff114c8883e9.jpeg npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ “My child is just fine.” Sir, your child apologizes for apologizing. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ - If you’re not sure, keep your fucking mouth shut and listen - If you’re white and the topic is racism, you especially need to shut the fuck up and listen - Calling out trans people for racism isn’t transphobia or transmisogyny - Anecdotally, I’ve blocked more white transfems for racism and TERFy anti-(trans)masculinity gender essentialism on this platform than any other group of people - Just because you’re marginalized at one intersection doesn’t mean you understand what it’s like to live with other marginalized identities - Don’t assume you have nothing to learn (this includes me FWIW, I’m far from perfect) - Just because you don’t see racism or understand something as racist, doesn’t mean it’s not Listening to and believing other people’s lived experiences is antifascism 101, and quite frankly, being a decent person 101. This is table stakes. If you can’t do this, stay the fuck out of anti-oppression discourse, go read a book on intersectionality, and touch grass. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Just in case no one told you: - Good morning - I believe in you - You’re doing great - You’ve got this! - Nice ass 💜 npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ If you think trans people get upset when we’re misgendered, try accidentally misgendering a cis person’s dog or baby. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ I learned empathy skill for my father, first, because soothing his pain means safety for me. And as I got to the world, I had to adapt this skill to new people, new interactions, and new intersections. But the skill was ultimately limited by not being in-tune with my own emotions. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Because I wasn’t able to safely express my pain in childhood and was always managing my father’s emotions, I turned my autistic pattern recognition skill to human social interactions, but particularly pain and suffering. I developed a skill of empathy to some extent because expressing my compassion for those in pain was a way to express my pain. This mix of compassion and suppression turned into caretaking and, at my worst, codependency. npub1aaqxny0zralgnt4v075fnqrmhq6v5ygntl4ujwrr63dkh8ddptts7l2jaa jade ember ⚧️ Punk is whatever makes you happy that irritates those used to having control.
