My voice is kind of a mess right now. Super hoarse and croaky all the time, and I have this whole section of range that has just disappeared. I can still go squeaky high, but between that and 'regular' is dead space and if I try to speak there it's like I've lost my voice, nothing comes out.
So that's all weird. Hopefully it sorts itself out.
In other news, 9 months after fully adopting a new name I have reached a point where I don't feel weird when someone calls me by it.

So it took a while but I shared the post I made here a while back with my partner and she cried, then hit me in the shoulder because "you handed me a thing to read I thought you were breaking up with me" which uh, yes that's on me, then piled on top of me for a while. One of my comments was "i didn't think it'd be that emotional" and her response kind of blew my mind of "well you're sharing this thing with a person who you don't know if they'll respond well or very bad so you probably just shielded yourself first"
After these photos, we went to a darkwave concert. Mid-way through the band we were there to see I feel a tug on my left shoulder. I turn around to see a guy and a couple of young women in costume. They were all excited with my outfit so we had high-fives. After the set, my wife and I went to leave and end up hearing, “Bye, Chloe! We love you!” from the haze left by the smoke machine.
I used to love Halloween—I would spend three months making my costumes. I fell out of doing that something like 15-20 years ago. It was nice to have fun with it again, instead of putting on the dreary costume I used to wear everyday.
So I was thinking about the past wrt my transition this morning and realized that I had missed in August, my 10 year anniversary of coming out.
It has been a hectic decade which simultaneously passed by way too quickly and way too slowly, and the time and support on these forums have been top.
I made the mistake of actually reading the...'article' feels like too validating a word for that shite...and now I am borderline incoherent with anger.
That'll teach me.
It's all saltwater these days:

Half in love with a white half moon
I was about to say that that’s a parody article from Viz magazine, but honestly, I’m not so sure any more

The Sunday Sport is explicitly a "joke" tabloid paper. Which doesn't make this article funny or less in poor taste, but it was written for basically a trash reactionary version of The Onion.

Heard someone on the radio yesterday talking about "L-G-B-T-plus" issues, and asked myself "Why don't they just say 'quiltbag', it's way less of a mouthful." before remembering that this forum is the only place I've ever seen that term used.

I've been feeling a bit odd lately. and I think i've zeroed in on it.
I really wanna kiss a lady. I miss kissing ladies.
I'm just not sure how to do what I want or anything so... I'll probably just ignore this urge.
But at least saying it out loud seems to be helping
Yeah, just acknowledging the bi helps avoid the bad feels you sometimes get.
Had a roommate that didn’t know I was bi. I was feeling very grumpy and depressed in life for a while and it just hit me one day that it was about my identity. I didn’t even tell him then, just realizing this was it made me feel ten times better. Told him later on when it felt appropriate.
Not feeling visible really can hit ya. You can bi-erasure yourself even. Recognize that and don’t let yourself feel shitty, and don’t be afraid to go out and be gay if you wanna!

When I was there last weekend when she was sleeping, I thought, I whispered that I loved her.
This morning she said to me "I heard what you said. I love you too."

It was a really fun Halloween! There’s something...powerful about wearing that witch robe.
I love the emoji movie.

There are a few shops on Etsy that make them!

look it may not be a costume but it's clearly the holiday you've aligned with

Also have a lead on a possible job in the SF Bay area which I am excited about.
I don't want to hold too much hope for the possability of this next job but if it happens it would be really cool.
Always shoot your shot and apply for the job. Even if you don't think you are qualified
