I run Shapeshifters. We sell custom-sized gender-affirming top garments at shapeshifters.co/

They/them.
Costume: Dionysus, from The Bacchae.

It was a new translation. The production involved blacklights and dance parties.

I do, in fact, sometimes take commissions.

They're pricier than off-the-rack but I swear by @shapeshifters.bsky.social - they're customised to you both in measurements and in fabric choices! Mine lasted me for a good 8 years before I finally had my top surgery, with only a little bit of rolling up at the bottom.

"Fellas, is it gay to make everything up as you go along because the existing processes don't fit your life?"

Shapeshifters.co! They are right here on bsky at @shapeshifters.bsky.social - chest binders made to your measurements, lots of nifty customizations, I could do normal things like manual labor outdoors in the south in the summer and go to the all you can eat Chinese buffet in them!

We thawed for a minute there. Now we're locked up again.

Spring comes in fits and starts.

Cursed Item of the Day: this Halloween sticker sheet.

I bought this green mango-tree-printed cotton four years ago to make cloth masks. Today I'm using up the last of it to make door curtains for my child's daycare.

They're required to have these to shield the toddlers from sight in case of a school shooter.

Fun day today. Got a migraine at work, discovered at lunchtime that a local reporter tried to gaslight me on facebook.

(I said, hey don't journalists usually use the word "allegedly" when talking about pretrial supposed crimes?, and he said "oh we did" and inserted it after the fact. lol.)

Me: today I will bake. I will bake sticky rolls and sweet milk bread and cheesecake and beer bread and pao de queijo.

Also me: today I will eat rice and pickles for lunch, like a grandpa with a sensitive tummy

Finally took the transphobic font off my stand mixer. This is what remains. Good start to a baking day.

Taking a moment to revisit something that brought me great joy eight years ago.

This song shaped the way I talk about being trans to cis people.

> I think Peter Beagle might have been the first person to imply to me that my transition is a gift to others. That living my life fully and honestly is a way of gifting others with something precious and good, something that they can appreciate and remember for decades later.

Snagged an appointment at a not-transphobic barbershop and finally got my first real fade. Feels awesome tbh.

Fall has finally made it to Wilmington and I look like a Sascha should again! Shoutout @peculiarityshop.bsky.social for the pendant and @shapeshifters.bsky.social for a binder that fits under this top. Gender is wild, man. I can count of one hand the amount of pre-transition outfit photos I took

I try to approach my inbox with compassion. I really do. I even succeed most days.

But no, y'all, no we cannot sell you a Make-Your-Own-Binder Kit and then "just sew it up" for you before we send it.

That is called selling you a binder. It is twice the price for a reason.
