sistawendy: me in the Mercury's alley with the wind catching my hair (smoldering windblown Merc alley)
Last night: Dinner, more or less, at chez Much Younger Woman. She said she missed me, and I definitely missed her. Aw! We & a friend of hers smoked what I'm pretty sure was a C. sativa strain - just one bong hit for me, thanks - judging by how much talking happened afterward, drank a surprising volume of box wine, and watched the first three eps of "Stranger Things". I get why the buzz is huge and people are hooked: it isn't just plot candy, it's plot Nutella. Taking the bus home involved not one but two 15-minute waits. Yeah, I could have Uber'd, but I'm trying to conserve cash at the moment. Ah, student life. I'm not sure I really miss it.

Today: Grocery shopping with Ex, followed by a hospital visit with m'boy to Exdad, who turned out to be sleeping. Neither of us wanted to wake him; we'd both heard him complain earlier about not getting enough sleep. This conveniently gave me enough time to go to a clothing swap at a group house full of queer poly women & AFABs who I know. I walked out with a weight in clothes that's equal to what I walked in with, but I think the ones I walked out with stand a much better chance of getting worn. I think the Goth Cabal would approve of a lot of what I got. And if they don't, remember, there is no Goth Cabal.

I think I'm staying in tonight: too low on sleep.

Remember the (rerun of) my talk, "How to Change Sex the Easy Way"? Our video man at work shot it, but I had assumed that it wasn't available externally.

I assumed wrongly. Here it is.

If you're a regular reader of this journal, you already know what's in the video. If you watch, you get to see me make too many hesitation noises and refer to my sisters' nieces instead of their children, i.e. my nieces. This video is also educational for me - a bit brutally so - about my voice and my posture.

I can't believe my employer did this for me. I'm so lucky to be living in the time & place when I do.

ETA: If any of you all want to share this link, go for it. This is my contribution to making trans people a little less misunderstood.
