I know I’ve been away for a little while. Mostly because I’ve burnt myself out and my messaging doesn’t work for some reason. However I have been busy putting together a collection for pride month of pride and anime embroideries. I’ve also opened an Etsy to sell these embroideries to afford my HRT and a new binder (My old one is falling apart). I’ll be selling t-shirts, patches, hoops, and face masks on my Etsy ThreadyToGoDesign. It would mean a lot for you to check it out and if you like something I’ve kept my rates low to make them affordable. This has been my passion project and I’d love to share it with you!
If you’re interested tell a friend! Patches have free shipping and everything else has reduced shipping rates so it’ll get to you quickly. And if you’re in the US and spend over 35$ you get free shipping! So check me out, I’d really love it!
Wanna give a big shout out to all the closeted LGBTQ+ people this pride.. You’re valid and we all love and support you.. You’re gonna make it through this. You’re gonna figure everything out.

On the writing front, I’m now a regular writer for Medium — which has resulted in a *major* boost to my writing income. (*If you’re a writer who is not writing on Medium, I don’t know what you’re doing.*)
On the *other* professional front, we’ve finally released our drag event app — @dragr — and are over the moon with the reception it’s receiving in the community.
Hope you’re all doing well and getting down to all the writing. The world needs your story, so don’t give up
There is this girl i met back near the end of October. Ill call her Suu. I met her off of a friend’s discord server. She is really shy when it comes to talking to new people, but she felt really comfy around me. She also has a boyfriend, ill call him Lance. Alot of things happend with me and Suu between the time we met each other and now. We’ve become best friends and basically spend all day together on calls, we live in two different states. She isnt really able to spend that much time with Lance because he lives in France. Ive given her the title of sister, which is not a title i give to others so willingly. I’ve also met Lance, hes really great too, a bit of a numbskull but he has a good heart. Me and him are also good friends. Suu loves talking to me, she loves my company, there have been a few days before where i was too busy to talk to her and when i was able to she tells me how much she missed me. Hell we even sleep on call together. Well… recently it finally snapped in my head that im basically playing third wheel. Somthing else that started to come up…is how… feelings have started emerge…for Suu…..and Lance….romantic feelings….
Just tonight i told her that i needed space and that tonight would be the last time i sleep on call for awhile. And the worst situation came out of this. Shes upset. Thinks she did somthing to upset me. And just….i cant tell her why i need space…idk what to do….shes been in a poly relationship before but…i know for a fact lance dosnt want a poly thing…idk what to do….if i keep my space she will think i hate her. And if i stay close it hurts me.
I gotta say this is all “ alleged ” because from what I heard he threatens any trans person that dares call him out….
Sooo let’s talk about this dude
{ also no my phone isn’t glitching out, his graphics are just that bad..}
He’s a cis I believe queer man that targets trans people and cis women { mostly cis wlw }
He has a lot of videos of him just harassing and making “ parody ” songs and posts invalidating lgbtq+ people mostly trans people and wlw.
He has “ talks ” with trans people acting as if he just wishes to have a “ friendly ” conversation then harasses them..
He takes photos of trans people and uses them for his “ educational ” aka harassment videos and “ parodies ” mocking their looks. I I believe he takes the photos without their permission..
He also invades trans spaces and women’s spaces to make mocking harassy videos…
He also has underlying hints that feminism is making kids trans???? He also comments and likes many comments claiming feminism and the trans community are
“ cults ”
He and his followers are a danger to trans youth and all lgbtq+ youth as a whole.
Hana was always sure she was a girl, only to find out in later life she didn’t suit either female or male binaries completely. Aside from her having male and female middle names, she did begin to wonder why she wasn’t as slender as Brittany, or had fluttery eyelashes and lipstick markings like the Chipettes. In fact her build resembled the Chipmunks’ more. This led to some teasing in school, including someone calling her a “boy in drag,” which hurt her so much.
Hana asked her parents why she didn’t look completely like a girl even though she was one. They replied that no one person is the same and that she should learn to embrace herself, masculine features and all.
Her teen years were tough especially as she looked as androgynous as she always did. She turned even more to sports as that was the only place her toned body was appreciated, or so she thought. The Chipmunks and Chipettes had drifted away from her by this point; Theodore had his Cooking Club, Simon his Science Club, and who should join the popular cheerleaders but Brittany? This soured their relationship even more.
Feeling lost with her childhood friends gone, Hana happened upon a flyer for the high school production, Beauty and the Beast. Thinking that playing the Beast would be the ultimate way to embrace herself and in turn tell the bullies to back off, she auditioned for the role but instead got the role of LeFou. It took a while to process, but Hana ultimately threw herself into the role and people loved her performance. She ended up thinking, “Hey, maybe looking somewhat masculine isn’t so bad after all.”
Fast forward years later, Hana is now a Broadway actress and LGBTQIA+ rights advocate. She identifies as nonbinary and her pronouns switch between she/her and they/them at any given time.
These four pieces have been featured in the Love Issue of the O Gocë Magazine, which is a print magazine celebrating and documenting the work of Albanian female and non-binary creatives whilst also encouraging conversations, collaborations and connections with others in similar fields across the diaspora. It is a direct response to the often disregarded voices of creatives and hopeless approach to the arts within the culture. Please go on their website to purchase a copy of their newest edition.
I’ve never been in a relationship. I never rlly feel the need or want of one.
Sometimes, more often than I like to admit, it brings me insecurity and uncertainty. Like I’m missing a part of life that everyone is supposed to experience. I feel inadequate.
I know that’s not true. No one is “less than” for not having an S/O.
Still, these insecurities crop up from time to time. But then, I see people talk about their S/O’s and it makes me feel trapped. The entire “they’re my whole world, we’re attached at the hip, they’re my everything” just doesn’t make me feel in awe or romantic like it does for others. It makes me grimace, and imagine the bleak existence, the caged trap, it would be to live like that.
It makes me feel like I’m suffucating.
I’ve had crushes, though they don’t last for very long at all. I’ve wanted a relationship before (that was a strange part of my life), although every aspect of being in a relationship I hate.
Maybe I just haven’t met the right person. Maybe I’m pushing myself towards one way or the other. Maybe I just need to accept my lack of wanting. I’m not sure.
Let’s take this day to celebrate all the transgender community and the people you might know who are trans. Take this day to inform ourself a little more the issues that still exist in our society that we need to adress in order to make this world a better and safer place to all transgender folks out there. They absolutely deserve it Today is a day to celebrate who you are, whether you are out or not, whether you haven’t started your transition or are already fully transitioned, whether what you like or wear isn’t socially or culturally related to your gender, you are extremely valid and should only feel proud of the journey you took so far to become who you truly are.
Like honestly if being gay was a choice I’d be the gayest human in the galaxy. “We cant have gays on tv because it will turn our kids gay” like excuse me but if it was a choice we’d be the gayest of the gays. We are who we are and if that isnt enough for some people than they can fuck all the way off.
The same event from two different points of view. We love pop perfection that declare cis women’s genitalia as powerful and associate them with omniscient beings.
I’m a closeted bi. I wrote an op-ed for a Janelle Monáe fanzine which includes me discussing being queer. I want to tweet it to Janelle however my aunt (who follows me on twitter and thinks that I’m straight follows me) may see it. I don’t know what to do!
