after speaking to the head aesthetician about where i see myself going in the short, medium, and long term, i was able to chart a path forward through the hair and skin parts of my gender journey. it was practically like having a gender therapist in the room with me as i talked about what i wanted. i teared up a few times. so did she a bit. blessed.i determined that i wanted to do something more mindful with my hair. pics incoming!

hair is so hard for me yall because as a beautiful mixed race latinx i get lots of looks for it. it's got a sort of jfk wave to it and a lighter color than most people who code as latinx, but i've literally had people wanna touch it. along with that, i have some pretty naturally lush eyelashes - to the point my mom used to tell me "i only wish my eyes could be as pretty as yours" and whoa that's a deep good memory that i just now remembered

i felt pretty as a lil kid, once upon a time. i felt pretty more than i felt handsome. handsome was always such a top down, guess what, time to be a man word to mepretty? i loved pretty. not necessarily in the princess sense - i think it might be a heritage thing that for me the ricosuave latinx androgyne rakish lover was how i really wanted to beit's not handsome. it's gorgeous. it's beautiful. it's explosive, really - dangerous!

i wanted to be the antonio banderas or the gorgeous men on my abuelitas telenovelasi watched with her and i think she got that i wasn't like the other boys. she treated me bad for it, i think - like she didn't know what to do with me - but i think she knew. one of the last things she gave me before she passed was a set of ribbons - including one with a six color rainbow. maybe there was more under the surface than i ever got to explore.

at any rate, i got my hair highlighted - i told her that since i wanted to grow my hair out (but right now it looks kinda bowl cut length), instead of just treating it like a regular boycut deal i wanted to consult like "what will make this look intentional and not like mom did it with the fiskers"she suggested babylights, which highlight the tops of the hair but dont go all down the lengths - she said it would create a sense of coherence

i wasn't sure what to expect, and i felt a little resistance, but i identified it this time as the cop in my head and chose instead to assent - "i trust your judgment on this!" i kept saying. she prob thought i was just wild lol, i felt itand she was Dead On. the look went from "damn kid you been under a rock for four months" to "oh my god enby superstar" in just one session. what an ultra Ulta goddess, weaving those hair magicks i need

i want to ask a question:have yall started treating likes/favs as like. read receipts that you opt into instead of out of? cause i kinda love that.like, hitting that fav to me now means "hey! thanks, i saw this, i'll get back to you asap" And "this is good stuff but i'm not ready to talk about it yet" And "we're good homie don't worry about if i took this the wrong way"it's such a powerful reversal of the e-mail read receipt. it's all on the recipients terms:yell:

@garfiald it's always weird where we draw the lines about who to joke about and who notlike. was having this convo re: dril earlier. like that person? used to post with em before. had no idea they were dril. it kinda threw me a little to find out? but it was like. it humanized that account so suddenly in retrospect, like "oh my god i see the throughline" and likenow when people post about dril as though the person and persona are the same it fucks me up a bit! cause im wanna go "whoa easy"

@garfiald it's so easy to confuse author and work when the two are so aligned, as in the case of philosophical text - because we kinda need to believe our own ideas to pursue them fully, even just to go "lol nope, maybe a different path down this maze next time"but doubly when people are alive, it's like. let's keep an eye on that they're people, and remind em of that too (for better and worse! they're real, human, and not larger than life, in the case of celebrity)

i kinda want to start taking my engagement with corporate shit more seriously as like. a thing i choose to do only when i can't do other things that satisfy me moreto that end i kinda need help though. i want to leave the software that engages with me abusively behind - whether that's as simple as sticking to browsers that don't have a financial stake in selling my data, or finally leaning hard into non-tech-bro oriented linux OS operationi need help starting!

@friskywhiskers @jdlwerewolf At the end of the second console war, the world was split into two, East and West. This marked the start of the Wii War.

@tomasino i'm so excited to see people doing text adventure lp/reviews in this sense, they were always my favorite growing up and always had the sparsest amount of discussion around them that i could read at the time!

i wanna tell you a story about the last good boy i knew whose name i can no longer take in vain. his name was Stephen, and he was a locksmith of my heart. he was the best kid i ever knew. but i just wanted him to love me like i loved him and his family and wanting to belong to a good, honorable family.i know someone far better now and someday he's going to be tapped for something impossible and great that i will be unable to see but can only wonder at the grandeur of.
