Shame and jealousy and gender identity are things that happen to other people. I forget to account for feelings I don't have sometimes, so please poke me if I was insensitive. I am too autistic to figure out what you think my actions meant, so you're gonna have to point me in the right direction.

I don't have self-hate anymore, but it's my home town, and I can see that for what it is. So if you are pulling self-destructive BS around me I am going to make sure you are aware of it, because I know too many dead folks who should be alive. You're allowed to make choices I don't understand, but you're not allowed to make dangerous choices by accident around me. So if you’re doing a risky thing, I am going to ask about it. I can't actually help that? Sorry not sorry.

I am reading the internet to give my brain something to chew on that isn't you. It also has a handy side effect of giving me things to talk to you about, since it may as well be entertaining if you're listening to me voluntarily. Want me to read your blog or discuss an article? Link me. I also do basic SPAG beta reading. Just send me stuff. I am that easy. About that: TMI happens here; you were warned and no one who knows me will have much sympathy for the weaponized empathy you now cannot get rid of.

I am weird and unashamed. I live loudly, love brightly, and laugh dorkly.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.


they/them/Mx., willing to talk over questions about complex gender issues.
