yall I want TDS3 tickets so badly 😭 but I don't know who to even go with and I'm not going by myself.... but I'm also seriously thinking I'm just gonna go ahead and try to get tickets on friday anyway

#last year i went with my mom and she enjoyed it #but im not entirely sure she wants to go again #and then my best friend doesn't like kpop at all lmao #but I don't know i might be able to get her to go w me but #i dont know how she'll feel about the traveling in chicago by ourselves thing #bc when we last went there together for a concert we were with her ex and he did the driving #so my last option is my brother lol because i asked the other day if he wants to go to chicago #and he did say yes so i told him attendance at the concert is mandatory #kpop is also absolutely not his genre of music #even though he listens to a little bit of a lot of stuff like country and pop and broadway musicals #like dude you'd love the theatrics of kpop and the gaybaiting they do? thats something he might like #and then one of my choices was my moms best friend bc she said after she saw my moms videos of tds2 #that she wanted to go see a kpop concert because she loves showmanship so she saw the eras tour and #fell in love so i think she would like kpop. she loved the wrist light things TS did so lightsticks are definitely #something she'd enjoy and the choreography #i really think it's just the language barrier that's preventing my brother and best friend from wanting to go #and the language barrier that keeps my mom and her best friend from probably enjoying the music as much #because my mom loved one direction so a kpop boyband isn't too far off from that #oh also i think my friend will tell me no because i've already turned her down for plans like a week or two before that #because i won't have PTO to use at work because i'll have just gotten back from a vacay that uses i all #and then i'm gonna turn around and take 2 days off for a concert (travel time sucks)

idk how to even like. put this pain into words and i would normally vent about this shit on twitter, but the person its about follows me on there so like. anybody have skills for coping with the crushing realization that the person u love most in this world and have built ur life around sees ur current situation together as a temporary hurdle that's preventing them from their truest and happiest self which. is separate from u entirely? anyone know how to deal with this?

#live with my best friend in the whole entire world who. honest to god makes me the happiest person alive.#like im always waxing poetic about her in the tags on posts about platonic love #and i talk about her like she put the stars in the skies because for real it feels like she did for me #she is. the most important person in my life #and every day i feel grateful just to come home and sit with her #like honest to god i cannot imagine a future that is better than this #if i have a bad day i get to come home and my best friend in the world will make me laugh #what more could i ever ask for #but tonight we talked and she made it abundantly clear that. even if i do everything right #even if i'm the perfect roommate and the best friend i can be #in just over a year #when she's making enough money for it #she plans on moving into a place of her own #which like. makes sense for her. of course we were going to get to this point.#but i just. don't know what i'm going to do.#and it kills me that we're on different pages because for some reason i thought this was a long term thing #i thought we were going to move into a house together #i was just telling my coworker this week that we need to move into our forever home soon which was partially a joke #but also. even if i was making a million dollars a year.#i would still want to be here. with her.#or somewhere else. with her.#like it's so hard to imagine a future without her. it breaks my heart and scares the shit out of me.#and i know i can't afford it here. and i can't move in with strangers. and i'm working my dream job but i'm scared that i'm going to have t #give it all up and move back east because. i can't do this alone. and she's all i have. and all i ever wanted.#and she's leaving.#she doesn't want to be with me.#sry this is so fucking. ugh. idk. i just don't know what to do.#for real might just drop everything and move to chicago if it comes down to it ksdkfljdfs #its what sufjan would have wanted #fucked up terrible no good week

i do enjoy. facetiming people. sorry for being sick and twisted.

#im that freak who will call you on facetime sorry.#i think it's sweet! i want to see your face and your eyes light up and any sardonic grins and unfurling smiles<3 #i like it best when i call my best friend and we just have the call on for hours on end and most of the time it's silent #and we're both just doing our own #thing but i peek over and i see her there. and it makes me feel like there's no distance at all.#or she looks over at me and i notice. of course i do. and we grin and beam at each other like we're kids again.#if u ask me to show u chicago through facetime i WILL btw. just saying. i have no shame i dont care lol

#original #i love my wife #had a big crush on that character growing up #you know who else is really into her? EVERY OTHER CHUBBY TRANS GUY IN CHICAGO apparently we just see her and are like OH HELL YEAH #do you know why this is? it is because we have excellent taste that is why.#and also we want non threatening masc people to be into us and respect our gender! that's me anyway #and this is excellent news for her anyway bc we're in an open relationship & she thinks guys like me (her HUSBAND 🥰😁) are incredibly hot #this is also bc she has excellent taste.#but it is a running joke that she keeps getting nice OKC matches that look a lot like me 😂#anyway this post is a thing that would have made young me BOIL with envy if someone else said it but in fact it is ME #and young me grew into me and is in here like AAWWWWWWW YYYEEEEEEEEAAAHHHHH 🤘🤘🤘🤘🚀🚀🚀#she doesn't just look like Milo she also moves and emotes and talks like him. and until recently her glasses would not stay on her face!#she got new ones. nerd. i adore her.#she is so kind to Jack (me) and to my giant anxious pitbull child #she puts his blankie on him as he rests on her toes to make sure she doesn't go anywhere 😭😭❤#she is my best friend and she never makes me feel stupid or fake or undeserving. she just likes me so much and she fkn acts like it!#and we have good boundaries and communication in a very autistic way [positive] and she is so smart and funnyyy #oh i am falling asleep now #probably has something to do with how thinking about my wife makes me feel safe and warm or some gay shit like that 🙄 ;)#edit: omg it just occurred to me that she is like 80% Mill and 20% Jessica Jones. just in terms of like. vibes.

whenever i think that maybe despite love definitely being real, dramatic romances don’t play out the way i love to read them in books or watch them on screen, i remember my aunt who got tutored by her now husband in middle school, became best friends with him, started dating in high school, went to prom together, stayed together through college, got married, and are now the proud lawyer-engineer parents of a cute ass baby and my mom’s best friend whose husband’s family forbade him from marrying her under the threat of taking away his multi-million dollar inheritance and spot as heir to the family company and he chose to marry her anyway (even though he’s like a total frat dude bro which maybe shouldn’t matter but it kind of does) and then i realize that all those stories i love might not be real but they are always going to be tied up in reality and the possibility of great romances for everyone and then life doesn’t seem so bad

#ACTUALLY BOTH OF THESE MEN ARE PRECIOUS #like actually genuinely nice as fuck caring guys with the best puppy dog energy ever #man number 2 flew with his wife to their hometown of chicago for eras tour weekend and listened from the parking lot for TWO NIGHTS #trying tirelessly all day to get tickets all just for his wife #and all these people are raising the nicest children ever. i do a lot of babysitting but these are truly some of my favorite kids #mine #guy number one is totally different though like a complete nerd and every time i visit HE ALWAYS PLANS NICE THINGS FOR ME TO DO #AND HAS NERDY STUFF TO SHOW ME #that man snuck me into the library at yale and for that i owe him everything. one of my favorite places i’ve ever been

Have seen a couple of advice columns where people where worried about missing the je ne sais quoi that makes an individual attractive and interesting--the ol' razzle dazzle. Although a friend recently told me about dazzle camouflage, what ships used in WWI, and how the term has entered sociology to describe, well, camp-ouflage, outrageously flamboyant presentation that disorients and distracts would-be assailants with glamor and keeps your actual person anonymous. That's what the phrase evokes to me now--I was talking about using the shapka z ushkami and tinted lenses the way cartoon characters have repeat outfits so people associate me with a set of silly but recognizable signifiers, while wearing monochrome, shapeless clothes and medical-grade masks bought in bulk. How the hat invites conversation from gruff old Russian guys and new friends and curious children, deters hostile T/RFs in public restrooms, and also has become do much synonymous with my otherwise unremarkable person (also glasses and cane) that if I walked past the cops I walk by every day in a different style of dress, sans hat or glasses, without my cane? They wouldn't recognize me. But back to original point, which was actually that living in a city is great because you are blessedly uninteresting compared to the vast majority of your compatriots. I had two--two!!!--stalkers in my small rural New England town between the ages of 14 and 17 and it was truly due to lack of enrichment in their enclosure and lack of gays in the village. If you're not big on social media and not in the public eye then it is very easy to avoid this kind of obsessively fixated fascination! All I have ever wanted was to be a very small fish in a very big pond so people would leave me alone and a couple weeks ago met a friend of friends who realized I had no social capital to her and interacted with me like a piece of furniture. What a fucking relief??? I want to be so uninteresting the majority of people ignore me, and thank fucking Gd. 🙏

#the best thing that has ever happened to me since living in chicago #is hitting that sweet spot where people don't harass me for being trans but i'm too ugly to hit on &#too quiet & unremarkable for anyone to Network with & if i do any political shit it's anonymously #& i never post about it online or do anything under my name #Nobody Knows Who I Am By Repute Except That I Love An-sky & Interwar Poland & Speak Slavic Languages #& Wear A Hat With Little Ears

(Long post, sorry y'all)

A little more than two years ago now, my grandmother passed away. She and my grandpa had moved down to my home town a few years before so we could take care of them. I brought them groceries once a week, helped them write checks, fixed tvs, and found lost things. I was really close with my grandma.

In addition to her hilarious personality and dry wit, one of my favorite things about her was that she was a painter and a crafter like me! She used to crochet, and I took her to the craft store a couple of times so she could get more yarn and books on crochet. But her arthritis and the shaking in her hands kept getting worse, so she eventually had to stop.

She kept her most recent project, a granny square blanket, safely packed away in a plastic bin. She told all of us she was going to finish it one day.

Her hands never got better, and when she got sick, and we found out it was cancer, she rapidly deteriorated.

After she passed, I went to work helping my mom clean out my grandparents apartment so we could move my grandpa in with her. In our frantic cleaning, I found that bin again:

DOZENS of granny squares, dozens of half used skeins. I asked my mom what she wanted me to do with it, and she said she didn't care. I set it aside and later took it home.

Maybe a month later, that tumblr post about the Loose Ends Project was going around. It felt like a sign--I was never going to learn to crochet in order to finish my grandmother's blanket. But they might be able to help!

So I filled out the interest form. They got back to me SUPER quick. And maybe 2 weeks later, I was paired with volunteer in my state (only 2 hours away!) and the box of yarn, granny squares, and my grandmother's crochet hook were in the mail. That was at the end of January this year.

Over the next couple of months, my "finisher" emailed me regular updates on her progress, and asked me questions on my preferences for how she constructed the final blanket.

At the end of August, the blanket was done!

I had always intended the blanket to be a gift for my mother. So I cleaned it up, put it in the only bag I had big enough to fit it, and drove to my mom's. I gave the blanket to her and she was gobsmacked. I explained to her all about Loose Ends, and how someone volunteered to finish the piece for us. She was speechless. (I was quite pleased with this, because I am not the best at giving gifts, so this was a pretty exciting reaction!)

She said that it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever been given. She said "your grandma would love this". To which I replied, "yeah, I know she really wanted to finish it a couple of years ago". But that was when my mom dropped the bomb of a century on me--she told me that my grandma had started making those granny squares OVER 30 YEARS AGO. She had started the blanket when my grandpa was staying in the hospital, but that was back when my mom was younger than I am now! My grandma had packed them all away, planning on finishing it, when my grandpa was sent home from the hospital. Then it went from house to house, from condo in Chicago to their apartment in my hometown. All that time and my grandma had wanted to finish it, but couldn't. First because she was busy, then because she forgot how to do it, then because of her arthritis, and then because of the cancer. My mom said she had given up on expecting my grandma to finish it.

She said I brought a piece of her childhood with her mom out of the past.

And really, all of this is to say, if you have seen or heard about the Loose Ends Project and have an uncompleted project or piece from a loved one who has passed away--these are your people. They were so kind and treated my project with such care. That box probably would have been found by my own grandkids one day if I hadn't heard about Loose Ends.

Five stars, absolutely worth it!

(From what I understand, you can sign up to volunteer too! If you have time to share, it might be worth checking out!)
