All of which makes me anxious. At times, unbearably so.

Some fun facts about me:

1. I make zines and PDF versions!
2. Physical stock is at a discount because it’s all under my deadname!
3. I need to get all 6 of my ignition coils replaced!

i wrote about the art of making mix CDs for people you love, whether they like it or not (ft. @nikostratis.com whose writing on this very subject has been a huge inspiration)
www.patreon.com/posts/141463...

Niko Stratis has written beautifully about how powerful and personal it is to make a mix for someone in her book The Dad Rock That Made Me A Woman. She understands better than any other writer that in making a mix for someone you love, you aren't just sharing the songs; you're plotting out your feelings along a new vector, maybe the most important vector for those of us who cherish music obsessively. You have already loved this person for so long, and a mix CD—often a gift you give in the early stages of a relationship—is an externalization of that love. Those of us who have loved a lot of people and therefore given a lot of mix CDs as gifts know there's nothing casual about it, though one convention of giving someone a mix is that you have to act like it doesn't matter and you maybe don't even look at them when you hand it to them. Traditionally, your attitude should convey that you spent nine seconds on it and you don't care whether they like it. Meanwhile, you're screaming internally PUT MY FAVORITE MUSIC INSIDE YOU AND BECOME ONE WITH ME.

Boss, looking through records: Oh cool, Street-Legal! The 2ND most underrated Bob Dylan record!
Me: What’s the most underrated Bob Dylan record?
Boss, no hesitation: Planet Waves.

Me every time someone is like "Studio Ghibli Hayao Miyazaki so cutesie ootsy cozy wozy cottagecore"

First image: the little kid from Twilight Zone: The Movie, Joe Dante segment "It's a Good Life" saying "I'm wishing you into Cartoon Land"
Second image: the cursed boar god Nago from Studio Ghibli film Princess Mononoke, screaming in pain and fury as worms writhe from his flesh before he resumes trying to eviscerate every human he sees. This is one of the victim characters of the movie.

Tim’s work, especially on ITYSL but definitely on The Chair Factory so far, also has this interesting note where every time someone cusses it feels like it’s coming out of the mouth of a 10yo. It feels more jarring than when adults cuss but the clunkiness makes it its own joke.

Glenn Tranzig @wheredidjasongo.bsky.social · 2d

Watched The Chair Factory and I’m sure a lot of people have already talked about how Tim Robinson’s work feels especially appealing to neurodivergent people who can laugh at themselves. The Chair Factory definitely continues the tradition of a one-track mind going to extremes.

Sometimes if you don’t understand the context, it’s because it’s a conversation you’re just not part of, and sometimes that’s an L you just have to take instead of insisting on understanding everything everyone is saying.

I was really curious who did that custom scent for your anniversary! The questions Jordy had to answer were really fun!

Glenn Tranzig @wheredidjasongo.bsky.social · 3d

I told him I got out before things got too bad and he smiled, and then he went to cracking jokes because he’d heard about how Floridians have hurricane parties. Transaction finished just fine and we both left smiling.

Maybe he hadn’t dealt with many trans people before, but he saw I’m harmless.

Glenn Tranzig @wheredidjasongo.bsky.social · 3d

I asked him to please update the name and the email and the smile was gone. He does it, but the awkwardness looms over us. Finally, he says something.

“How many of those did you have to deal with down there, boss?” (My area code is from Florida)

Had the sort of interaction today that reminded me that some people are genuinely trying.

Went to O’Reilly’s today and the guy was really nice to me because I talk like I know what I need. Kept calling me “boss,” asked where my area code was from.

Then I noticed my rewards account had my deadname.

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.
