My renewed passport came in the mail, which was a relief. They have some weird hard plastic page in them now, too? I assume it’s some electronic verification thing, I don’t like it. It makes the whole book way too stiff.

That stiff plastic card does make it easier to paginate to the ID part of the passport, though!

My fibro symptoms have been very manageable thanks to better-regulated sleep.

With my therapist, I worked through some self-hate feelings regarding my singing voice (and obliquely related to gender).

A doctor called me back to talk with me about HRT. My sweet partner has been really supportive as I consider if this is something I’d want atm for my transition.

Lately, I’m feeling more creative like I haven’t felt since my 3rd year of high school.

There are promising signs of justice and liberation in the news this last week.

Slow and not as productive as I would have liked and need to be! But overall can’t complain tbh!

Not doing too well right now. Currently on winter break so I’m isolated. I think things will get better for me mentally after the break. Really want top surgery but I don’t know if my ability to get it will be impacted by all the stuff after January or not. At this point I probably need a break from the news and social media and to go on hikes. Just have to put one foot in front of the other.

I did finally get all of my legal documents updated (minus birth certificate BC my birth state won’t let me), so yay for that.

oof, sorry to hear your birth state won’t let you update it 😬

stepping away from the internet and going for hikes sounds like a solid plan - I like to sometimes have weekends where I turn off the router and try to live without the internet, lol
