Downside of existing while trans in 2026: I'm afraid to go to the bathroom and I've got an 8 hour class before I can go back to my hotel room to pee.

I'm at CrowdStrike Fal.con this week and every time I walk past the big statues of threat actors I think about how @gayint@infosec.exchange should be in charge of naming things instead.

Working on a show reminds me that while I like musicals I love theater. #CommunityTheater

I'm doing two "black shirt" activities today! I was a roller derby official this morning and I'll be on stage crew for a musical this evening. I like to facilitate other people doing fun shit apparently.

Tossed my hat in the ring to be assistant stage manager for a community production of Cabaret this winter. It'd be my first time as an ASM! I'm excited about the possibility. #CommunityTheater

Flashback to that time my medical chart called me a problematic transsexual.

So with Bitwarden showing their whole ass and enshittifying, what are y'all going to do for password management?

Fallout 76 needs more Expeditions. Might I suggest Columbus, Cincinnati, or Cleveland? They've already got Pittsburgh so it makes sense, especially with the more recent expansion across the river into Ohio.

I had to renew my roller derby insurance today (Yes we have derby-specific insurance) which means I've been back at derby for a whole year after my 10 year break. Going back to derby was one of the best things I've ever done for myself. Despite having some big setbacks, it's helped me build confidence, gain a little fitness, meet people, and find a little bit of queer community. A++, would recommend #RollerDerby #RoseCityRollers #WreckersFuckYeah

I washed my #RollerDerby pads after accidentally leaving them wet and closed up in my derby bag for almost a week. They were pretty ripe.

I'm so sore. Derby practice kicked my ass last night. Absolutely worth it, as always. #RollerDerby

Calling myself a mom feels like stolen valor. But I'm certainly not a dad, so what the fuck am I?

Tilly describes a lot of pretty awful stuff in this essay about being trans online. If you want to know what trans women experience just existing on the internet and how gross it is, give it a read. It'll be eye opening. I'm fortunate in that I have never received this kind of unwanted attention and I'm hopeful it stays that way. But at the same time, it makes me feel like there's something wrong with me because I don't get the unwanted attention... RE: https://mastodon.soc...

It's always "bad gateway" and never "good girl."

Hey trans friends, do any of you have any experience using locker rooms/showers at Planet Fitness? I know their policy states that we can use the appropriate facilities, but how's that go in practice? [Please don't turn this into a "Planet Fitness sucks, go to a real gym" thread. I pay like $10 a month and my expectations align with that.]

Now that I got my #3dPrinter all calibrated and printing some pretty awesome quality prints I really, really love it. I still want an upgraded one because it's pretty basic, but it's now giving me more joy than sorrow. I especially love my Home Assistant integrations that announce "3d printer has started," "layer 3 complete," "3d printer has finished," and "3d printer is fucked." #3dPrinting
