This is who I am.
My birth certificate says I am a woman. My documents say I’m a woman. My family says I’m a woman. My parents say I’m a woman. My friends say I’m a woman. My doctors say I’m a woman.
Fuck this government if it disagrees, and fuck you if you disagree.
As a kid I watched the PBS show Ghost Writer, but on TVO. Now my kid is starting to watch it, and, uh.
Wow it's better than I remember.
It is better at talking about race in America than any show I've seen, and it does *the fucking work* to make sure its kids feel like kids but also never once talk down to a kid.
I honestly wonder if, as a show, radicalized me into the person I am.
My wife who has never seen any episode is so fucking invested we've watched some episodes while the kids were asleep.
I have a lot going on for me today. My disabilities are making life feel impossible - but I am glad that coming on here reminded me to take a moment and find joy in who I am.
My name is Finni. I'm 28! (♈️ ? ♏️ ? ♍️ ⏫️ )
I have fibromyalgia, IBS, GERD, Psychogenic seizures and so many more issues, but I am also a loving parent and partner, and now I am a member of a beautiful community of Black creatives.
Thank you all so much for making me feel so welcome here.
