one funny thing about having transitioned is that my dad is really supportive and hasn't actually changed the way he talks to me at all, just swapped "daughter" for "son". so he constantly refers to me as his "lovely son" and "beautiful son of mine". i think it's so cute honestly i love it

every time i go to an adult puppet show (which is a lot of times) i always have a small hope that i'll get to see a human fuck a puppet and it never happens because everyone in theater is a coward. apparently

if any of you are noticing that @lindarrow.bsky.social and i are especially synced up it's because i'm visiting her in canada right now. also because we're bound by the red string of fate but that's secondary
