Some excitement in Small Town, Texas yesterday. I haven't done an audio storytime in a while and with a few new Mastodonian peeps following me I thought I'd give a little voice reveal to them.
And don't come at me. I've been neglecting my girl voice lately. Also snake pics in the next post of this thread because photos can't be posted with an audio clip.
Every now and again I'll come across a short vid where a woman will say, "A man's "princess treatment" is a lesbian's bare minimum and I think to myself...
There's a wonderful local salsa I found at a nearby Whole Foods that I just love. It's a mild salsa by Lucky Number 13 that it calls Smoke Point.
Dang it, it's so good. Nice smoky flavor and not too tomato-ey.
But I think the batch I got tonight is a touch warmer than usual because my nose is running, my mouth is still tingling a little still and I'm pretty sure I have heartburn.
So I'm sitting on a couple of giant boxes of diapers at the big box store because I've pretty much had it with running all these errands today.
I'm tired, I'm hungry and I'm a little crabby.
And then this older woman comes up to me and says to me in Spanish, how pretty my hair is and she says it twice. And I'm in that weird little window of my shot cycle where I'm about to burst into tears just because she said that me.
I tied the nocking points on my bowstring finally. Did that over the weekend.
Being new to archery and still trying to figure this out through YouTube tutorials has me going kind of slow on this. However, slow though, I'm setting up my recurve bow little by little.
I think my next purchase is going to be a clipper and plunger so I can be more consistent with my draw.
I was messaging a friend earlier today and talking about femininity in a sort of academic way as well as criticisms/critiques we often receive from our partners about the issue.
She mentioned how performing femininity only for its sake without a focus on the male gaze and decentering men has power.
*Wren begins snapping fingers* Yahhhhssss!!!
Of course me, I respond with "THAT is something that gives me solace. The femininity I portray is absolutely NOT for the male gaze. It's for the female GAYS. 😜"
Sometimes it happens though and my opinion on that... It ain't my fault I have an effect on dudes sometimes. Me and Medusa... we tight. We got that female gaze.
Recently my friend @MariaLiv introduced me to the short story titled “The Egg” by Andy Weir and I’ve been thinking about it every day ever since.
It is an incredibly hopeful message and one that may, if you’re even remotely of a spiritual bent, change your perspective or ideas of spirituality. It's reminded me and reinforced my idea that we are all One and interconnected.
I encourage you to read it. It’s a wonderful short story and I imagine we could all use a feel good story. Content Warning: The story takes place after a middle age man dies and then meets god.
Quote tooting my friend Faith again as she provides a long form toot about the evolution of her fashion style after starting transition.
The TL;DR — Every trans girl goes through an awkward phase. Every single one. If you're fortunate enough to be admitted into this development, know that you are witnessing a beautiful transformation and are considered a safe person.
