We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I would do like to organize a massive cross-dressing protest at the capital to form lines at the bathrooms.

I think we should bus drunk drag queens and handsy cisgender men from leather bars to the state capitol to use the restrooms. The legislators will be nostalgically yearning for trans people just doing their business quietly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I've never gotten Good Friday as a holiday. Then again, not my religion.

We technically get it as a 10th official holiday, but it's floating so we can use it on our birthdays or some other date rather than the Friday before Easter.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jesse, I had it done and went to work. If you are curious like I am, ask if they'll turn the screen so you can see the ultrasound of the needle going in. It's cool.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, I could see while she was ultrasounding today, so I bet I'll be able to see that, too! Yeah, I'm into that.

I am so tired. Interviewed by phone 3 candidates for retiring's position today. One probably overqualified, but great, but probably wanting more research than likely available, time wise. One who'd be very green but could handle it well and really knows what they want and would shape the job well, but we just didn't connect with them well. It was a good, solid interview, but just flat. And then the last one. Holy crap. Started badly because of tech issues, but took off like fire. After comments "winner-winner-chicken--dinner?""I want to be them." "[volunteer program x] will snap them up in a hot second and they'll be running it by fall" " I wish my interview was half that." Boss: "They could walk in and take my job and probably do a better job!" So. 2 more tomorrow, high bar has been set.

And I have about a million other things left undone.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

winner-winner-chicken--dinner? is the best interview assessment ever

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

What happens to women who aren't conventionally feminine or men who don't look masculine enough?

Oh, yeah, I would totally be getting groin checked. I get glared at consistently STILL in womens' restrooms and I wear makeup and shit these days! And my haircut is really super mild! It was so much more in my androgynous days, but seriously, people, you do not want to go down the road you think you want to go down.

The MP3 album of Hamilton is $18.99 on Amazon. I prefer to own my music instead of poking at a website and saying "Please, may I listen to it now?"--plus the only streaming data I've got is my regular Internet. Is that the standard price for getting the whole thing so I can join the cult?
