In the evenings we will sit right here on this front porch and count the stars.

I am simultaneously so happy that I manage to bring joy and happiness to people I love, and also so angry that ‘basic human decency’ is the bar I had to meet to be important to so many people. What I provide is the least of what you deserve. Demand better than me!

I love you all so much. ❤️🐴

A very sweet, kind volunteer just called me one of their favorite community people at these events. I teared up and told him, truthfully, that I really needed to hear that. I’m feeling a little better now. I’ll get into the swing of things. This is what I do.
Honestly having a rough time of things today. If anyone wants to say something kind here or in person, or offer hugs, I would be most appreciative. I’ll paste on a smile for my official duties if I have to, but I’d rather manage a real one.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.

Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

Lovely to see folks for the first two stops. I dropped back to the hotel after this, because I am a dishonorable petaQ. No, not really, I just know my limits, and a con is a marathon, not a sprint. :-)
Group 2 for the Pub Trot has left Major Goolsby's, and is now at the second bar!

Self made people living intentional lives are 🔥. You don’t have to be trans to be an intentional person, I’m living proof of that (I’m not who I once was). That said, fuck if I know a trans person who didn’t forge themselves anew from raw materials.

Make trans friends. You’ll be a better person. ❤️🐴

My life would be immeasurably worse if even a single one of you were gone. Whether loved one, friend, acquaintance, or we haven’t met yet, I love you and am glad you are here. I hope I can make your life better, the way you make my life better.

I love you all. ❤️🐴
It’s transgender day of remembrance, I’ve lost too many sisters this year.

It’s days like today where this old tweet from weedcatholic comes to mind.

You *have* to live, you can scream you can cry, but you gotta live.

For the record: it’s a collar, and I say that with immense joy and pride… but not to random strangers who, unlike folks here, haven’t consented to hearing about the quirkier aspects of my life. :-)
Airline bag drop agent: “I like your… choker?”

Me: “Thank you!”

Agent: “How does it… does it have a clasp, or…?”

Me: “It has a little screw.”

Agent: *quizzical look as the mental wheels turn*

Me: *big smile behind my mask*

(Thank goodness she doesn’t know what things I have in my bag. *halo*)

I have arrived!

Time for a nap. Or some fried cheese curds. Or both. Both sounds good. Although maybe not simultaneously. I general manage to avoid falling asleep in restaurants. Since the age of six, anyway.

Jet lag was involved and I was little. Don’t judge me.
En route to @ponyvilleciderfest.com! Ten minutes or so out from the hotel. Exhausted and not quite in full Foaly mode yet, so if I seem a little off, please don’t take it personally. Fingers and hooves crossed I’ll be ready to rock and roll by the pub trot this evening. :-)

If you tell a girl "you're like a sister to me" and she doesn't take the hint then hit her with a "you're like a dog to me."

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn those whose lives were lost to anti-trans violence.

We honor those we lost by continuing our fight for justice.

As the trans community remembers those we’ve lost, I find strength in understanding why the grievous injustices that continue to harm our community must be stopped.

Flight for @ponyvilleciderfest.com boarded. First pony fan of the day already spotted. I’d say I just have an eye for these things, but the Derpy t-shirt and Mane Six shoulder bag were rather hard to miss. I’m flagging with my BronyCon 2019 scarf. Slightly more reserved, but that’s my vibe. :-)

With apologies to the handful of Christians I count as friends who are legitimate accomplices and who will be as outraged about this as I am:

Christ all fucking mighty.
The CDC just updated its website saying "Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism." Adds "this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy."

Bringing my wonderful tail from @ponytromper.bsky.social to PVCF. It’s precious to me, it’s a belt-worn accessory, and I see no earthly reason why I shouldn’t honor my wider herd a little bit while I’m getting up to silliness and joy in my other pony world. :-)

So, who will I be seeing at @ponyvilleciderfest.com this weekend? I should be getting there midday-ish tomorrow, knock on wood. :-)

Having my usual pre-con “My relevance and viability within this fan community reached its zenith in 2019 and I’m just making a fool of myself these days” brain weasel festival. There’s a grain of truth there, but no one’s politely shown me the door quite yet, so I imagine I can still be useful.

Me, yesterday, in an ecstasy of gender euphoria, spinning and twirling in Belle’s signature yellow ball gown from Beauty and the Beast: “I feel like I’m going to go bang a hot furry!”

I mean, let’s be real, we all agree he was hotter in beast mode, right?

Anyway. It was still a lovely moment. :-)
