Getting the #Trans High Holy Days on the calendar now and avoiding time blindness or apocalyptic distraction later.
Transgender Awareness Week
November 13 - November 20
Transgender Day Of Remembrance
November 20
Transgender Rite of Ancestor Ascension
November 12 - November 20

@GreenandBlack absolutely, but keep in mind that this tends to come after, at minimum, a couple of days of focused work, and sometimes after weeks or months of trying to crack something open and increasingly experiencing lack of self-worth on failing
@GreenandBlack alternatively: "HAHAH GOT YOU, YOU LITTLE SHIT"
@GreenandBlack "WAIT HOLD ON WHAT THE FUCK????????"
@parenthetical ah, yes, the two kinds of food: cursed bullshit and kosher-vegetarian
A fox ever on the hunt for knowledge, and the best hunters catch enough to share.
