Jun. 30th, 2018 08:55 amI found out yesterday that a local trans activist, Danny Askini, had per passport renewal denied because she didn't provide "proof of transition". Does this mean trans Americans can't re-enter the US after our passports expire? Mine expires in 2021. That may be a deadline for me now.
I'm freaked out, to say the least. The above is only the latest. I've gotten less than five hours of sleep at least three nights this week; I can't remember how many because - wait for it - insomnia is trashing my memory. I repeat: I'll be protesting today at 11:00 down at the federal detention center in SeaTac. I'm not feeling that great physically, but if I don't go I won't feel so hot emotionally.
Work? Sucky, and it's partly my fault.
The one bright spot in all this was that I finally got to see the Tickler in a burlesque show. The theme? Insects, from butterflies to turd rollers. One man ("boylesque") who's an ace costumer even did a crab routine. I was hoping I'd get to see the Tickler's praying mantis act, but somebody else had one that night, so she did a scale insect. It was... arty, kinky in unexpected ways, and not like her usual comedy at all. I didn't hang out with her after the show or go to her place because I was just too beat. Out of the ten or so burlesquers, I liked about half.
