A Rapist's Tears
In response to my anger, he says, ” Having to constantly worry about what’s going to set you off, having to constantly go through the words I say to you and think of ways you’d take them or react to them because I’m afraid of how they might register with you.” MAYBE YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE RAPED ME. In response to bringing up the first rape, at age 14, he says,...

Done and done
You know that exhaustion that happens when you’ve had to explain yourself to someone who is super dense….like a person who keeps messaging you for months/years demanding explanations for your emotions/behavior, and keeps asking for what they can do better, or not accepting that you’re doing your best, or shames you for being aggressive and willing to end the friendship, or brings...

I love Southern writers.
zorascreation: Being Southern is pretty much the only thing remotely “American” about me. But then the vast majority of Southern culture comes from Black and Indigenous people, so. *shrug*

My coworker just brought me a copy of my very own! I’ve never read it. I love book gifts. And now it’s sitting on my desk tempting me and I have to wait until 5.

TW for SI: Confession
So, after two years, I started shaving my legs again (which you can read more about here, TW for assault), and just now in the shower I shaved over a mosquito bite and I seem to have sprung a leak. The blood just isn’t stopping. And it’s been a long time since I’ve had a cut like this and I’m just thinking a lot about back when I was all kinds of lost in the world of...

It's graduation season.

That’s why you didn’t get scholarship money, they...

transcouchnetwork: Hi! I just started a tumblr, the Transgender Couchsurfing Network.  After seeing dozens of posts come across my dash about displaced or homeless trans people needing places to crash, I decided that there had to be a way to organize these posts somehow, and to put those in need in contact with those willing to lend a hand.  If you’re trans and need a place to stay, or if you...

New Coffee Machine
We got a new coffee machine in my office today. I waited all day for my favorite coworker to come back to the office, so we could get a cup together. He came back, but had just gone to starbucks. So we ventured to the new coffee machine. We use the same coffee, it’s just an updated machine. We watched in fascination as it filled my coffee mug. What is my life?
