Finally got decent sunlight today to see if my new @jemandcozy sun catcher gets enough sun and I couldn’t find both rainbows. Definitely getting enough sun, but more overlap between the two than expected 😆. Found my missing sheet of sailor moon stickers I’d put ‘in a safe spot’ years ago, it’s a good day 🌈💜🎉 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqX5ACgOYm3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

i miss when microtransactions weren’t in basically every video game I miss when day 1 patches weren’t something people just expected from video games i miss when games console weren’t all constantly online i miss when games had to be decently polished before being released i miss when games weren’t all $60+ I miss when AAA game studios would spend years on a game to get it right, instead of overworking their dev teams to the point of self-destruction

Hummingbird 🎉 Stitched on 14 count white Aida using strands for cross stitch and 2-4 for backstitching. I really should invest in some sewing clips if I’m going to continue making pillows of my stitching 😄 #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #crossstitching #crossstitcher #hummingbird #nature #😄 https://www.instagram.com/p/Clj9QjCukgY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

don't use "ftm" it's outdated and offensive. it implies that the trans person was their agab, which we never were. i was always a boy, never a girl who became a boy.

i'm 35 years old. i've been IDing as trans or something similar to trans for nearly 20 years. i was probably calling myself FTM while you were playing tag during recess, anon.

i WAS a girl. i IDed as a girl early in my life. i recognized myself as a girl, called myself a girl, lived as a girl, and was a girl. who then IDed as a man. hence, F t M.

spend more time worrying about yourself instead of strangers on the internet, anon.

sorry not sorry if this comes off as needlessly hostile, but i've been getting a lot of shit from a lot of teenage trans kids about the language i use to describe my own goddamn experience, and i'm growing real fuckin weary of it.

i have elder trans friends who call themselves transsexuals and transvestites and trannies. are you going to seriously go to a 60-year-old trans person who survived the reagan years and tell her she's not allowed to use certain language to describe herself because it might offend the delicate sensibilities of some teenager on the internet?

do yourself a favor and log off, find some real-life trans people who are over the age of 20 or 25, and spend time talking to them instead of getting all holier-than-thou at random strangers on tumblr.

Sometimes you’re stitching along in a groove and then you flip the piece over to tie off your floss end and you’re greeted with a little chorus line or something 😆 #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #longdogsamplers #funtimes https://www.instagram.com/p/CfLXa97OF1F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
