Delighted to have arrived at my parents’ in Italy with my little one.
✅ we already had a yummy focaccia
🧱 we took over my parents’ living room with LEGO sets (that are put away when we’re in Paris)
🎈 I discovered that the Balloon Museum exhibit has been extended till March 15th, which means I have another chance to find Bubulle for @LisaBanana
Life is good 😊
Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
1. Managed to get Pebbles the (Formerly) Semi-Feral Cat off to the vet to check on a gunky eye. She didn't even scratch me which is a first
2. The eye isn't too serious (good) and can be treated with eyedrops. I was worried it might be something worse as weepy eyes are often first sign of that.
3. I managed to administer Pebbles eye drops all by myself tonight. Again, she didn't scratch me and she seems quite chipper
(Photo is a before photo because she really doesn't need people seeing her gunky eye tonight)

#threegoodthings #daysToRemember
This Saturday, the 24th, will mark exactly three years since I ran away from home to join the Fediverse!
In the 1095 days betwixt, I have learned a ton from y'all, grown so much as a person, had a bunch of adventures, and changed most of my life 
Some of the highlights were:
- ⚧️ discovering I'm nonbinary
- 💞 surviving a suicide attempt
- 🧠 writing a cool paper on autism diagnosis
- 🏃🏼♀️ leaving my abusive marriage
- ❤️🩹 doing suicide prevention check-ins with folx
- 🔞 becoming an adult content creator
- 😘 dating a few Fedi folx
- ❤️ meeting my two amazing partners
- 🔓 becoming RedTeamTools' brand ambassador
- 
making the TeslaFire emoji
- 💝 meeting like 100 Fedi folx IRL
- 🐈 saving a cat
- 🩸 paying a street medic's medical bills
- ❤️🔥 founding @AltAfterDark
- 🐟 saving a couple big fish from a net
- 🩹 helping multiple people recover from surgeries
- 🤯 being followed by over 7000 of you
- 🫠 getting fan art & music from y'all
- 🤘 learning electric guitar & bass
And *all*¹ of those were only possible because of you. Thank you. Thank you so, so much.
¹ I'm sure this list is missing a ton of things 😅²
² I'm running out of emoji 😋

1. I spent a very enjoyable two hours yesterday coppicing willow and collecting whips for basket weaving, in the company of a lovely group of people. I enjoyed it so much I am going back soon to do it again.
2. Today I am having coffee with a fellow Glaswegian photographer who I haven't met before so that we can talk about zines.
3. I'm cooking fillet steak with chestnut mushrooms and peppercorn sauce for dinner tonight!

Being able to begin to describe the challenges in my life to people who care
People who care
A balance between avoidance and attraction to strike.
Today I received the coolest, most thoughtful gift. Twice.
My day started out when a friend traveled from far far away, and dropped by to bring me a package on behalf of @anyia, whom they had just visited.
It was a beautiful *handmade* puzzle box, with three interesting locks built into it, and a *four-page* letter of appreciation—the amount of effort they put into making me feel special is extraordinary 🥰
---
Then, a couple hours later, a package arrived from my girlfriend. Inside were two lever locks. One from the 1830s, and one from the 1920s that is stamped with "Mastodon" 🥰 The 4-lever lock is now the oldest I'm my collection, and the Mastodon lock is the first 8-lever lock in my collection.
---
And finally, a couple hours after the package arrived from my girlfriend, I got to meet a new friend from Mastodon in person for the first time—which was its own present 🥰
---
So today I got to add five unique new locks, several good memories, and a new friend to my collections.
It was a good frickin' day 💝
1. Stalk of Brussels sprouts
2. Stalk of Brussels sprouts

Can you tell I'm excited about Brussels sprout season?

#threegoodthings to end the weekend.
1. Chaired the lived experience panel for the annual trans and friends festival in our regional city, and as ever we all learned that community is the key
2. My adult children being each other’s siblings in loyal and loving ways
3. Jacarandas and flame trees, just wild.
#threegoodthings NSFW version:
1. Making my Dom happy and proud of me
2. Being allowed to order some items online for play
3. Climaxing 5 times🔥
