Some zines I made about being trans and mental illness and staying alive and having hope

This first one is called Wings
Idk just something about being Latine/x and transmasc nonbinary and the constant flow of not feeling like enough for either of those

Spotted some used pjo books at the library bookstore and it’s just like. Some kid will probably buy and read them for the first time and love it and that makes me more emotional than I care to admit ok !!! @rickriordan.bsky.social

One of my I Saw The TV Glow posts on tumblr got a random influx of traction today and the tags on these two are so real

Transmasc person with the body of a Latina auntie experiences gender envy over random small town men…tale as old as time…

There’s this older woman I’ve known since I was a sad little 19 year old living in west Texas and I recently got back in touch with her bcus I’m planning on moving back out that way. Told her my preferred name and pronouns today :)

Sometimes I get to a point with dysphoria where I’m like there’s not enough analogies or flowery language to help me deal with the fact that it sucks. Like it’s not beautiful or brave, it literally just sucks and that’s it sometimes 😭

Buying used books is a blessing and a curse bcus this book was on my to buy list and I found it for $1 at the library bookstore but also this inscription was in it and I’m so ridiculously sad about it

I had pretty much decided on it when I posted this but it just makes me so sad that I feel I have to leave bcus it’s not safe for me to live somewhere that I love so much
Having doubts about moving from my hometown to another state, might rewatch I Saw The TV Glow about it so I can remind myself that it feels I’m actively suffocating the longer I stay here

tbh lost all patience for those who say they're still fans of hp, even if they say "despite jkr" or "i buy fan made stuff" or "hp's ours not jkr's". trans lives are more important than fictional wizards. today is only one example of the tangible impact jkr's bigotry has had

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this part in the isttvg screenplay since I read it a couple days ago

hey (with the intention of getting you to change your negative opinion on shane stardew)
April 7, 2025 at 11:06 PM
Thinking a lot about Shane Stardew today
April 7, 2025 at 11:05 PM
why do people try so hard to apply irl logic to stardew valley when it comes to the trans shane headcanon … this is the same game where you can change your gender in a wizard’s basement in exchange for some gold .

I still don’t understand why the use of -x at the end of Spanish words to make them gender neutral became a thing. It makes zero sense to me ‼️ in the context of the language.‼️ I am, however, a big advocate for using -e at the end instead.

Televangelism by Ethel Cain was the song for this tiktok and it made me want to cry at work

Hiii I’m back with some more poetry that I bought today! It was my 25th birthday today so my dad let me have free reign over how many books I got :)
A couple were even signed! :D

Naturally, we will be looking for a Nico di Angelo who closely resembles the original Disney-Hyperion promotional art from 2007, since I know that is everyone's favorite depiction. 😏

Yesterday, we had our first PURELY HYPOTHETICAL absolutely-nothing-confirmed "what if" conversation about what the casting might look like for Nico di Angelo if/when we get to move forward on season 3, and although it was just a thought exercise, I'm not going to lie, I still got chills. 🤞☠️
