    I came out a few weeks ago on Facebook as trans but still didn't bother to make a similar declaration here as well. So yeah, this is it. It's been about 6 months or so since I made this actual decision, and came out slowly to a few friends and family I knew wouldn't react negatively, until finally making it known to the world at large (at least my little section of it) on Facebook two weeks ago. I'm still not out at work, and am still not presenting female all of the time. I've changed my name/pronouns on Facebook, so don't be afraid to use those! This coming Tuesday i'm going to see a doctor and hopefully start hormone treatment. Other than that, and the fact that i'm growing my hair out, I don't really know what the fuck i'm doing in regards to my transition specifically. It's a slow process, but it's an ongoing one. Here's the letter I sent out to people better explaining where i'm coming from if anyone cares to read it. Also, here's a pic from last week. The hair is (obviously) a wig, but i'd absolutely love to have my actual hair at a similar length. So yeah, there's my story.

    C. loves the book, by the way! It was one of her earliest words to request it: "HA-too."

    Thanks, y'all. It's been a pretty great weekend so far. Spent the weekend with both my partners, they paid for dinner at this Japanese grill place where you cook the meat at the table, and I got a bunch of treats and hella fed all weekend. Just kinda chillin' today and keeping it low-key, but I get to watch my girlfriend play FF7 today, so that's always a treat

    This is doodle #1 from her experimentation with Procreate. I think it's a raccoon.

    Worked my last shift yesterday. Was pretty chill. Spent three hours deleting emails and scrubbing my name from everything I've created for past few years, went to my empty ass office to hand back my laptop etc. One of my boss's was there (we need 24/7 emergency coverage) and he had his new puppy with him, so got to finally meet the pupster, got the pleasure of literally dumping my equipment outside my office, and he had left me a bottle of rum and a nice card outside too. This was at like lunchtime too was I fuck doing a full shift my last day. Got notification that my education money got approved, getting my final pay in three weeks and then I can make my proper 3 year budget but I think, if my rough calculation is correct, I'll actually have enough to finance myself for an extra six months after my education. If I can get a decent part time job I might actually look into doing a post graduate year. Super happy today

    It's going to fail. The Matrix capitalized on the infancy of the internet (1999 and all) and played into a those simulation conspiracy theories that have been around for ages. Mix in Woo-Ping stunt coordination and ground breaking camera work (that became so overused since that it's virtually cheesy now) and what do they have left to try? It's been too long, things have changed too much. Dressing like The Matrix is lame now. The music in The Matrix isn't exactly popular anymore. They are going to have to change everything about it of they want it to feel modern enough to not be a Dad dressed in a KoRn T-Shirt with a chain wallet and spiky hair. IF I WAS THEM... I would make this movie extremely meta based. I would have the movie star Keanu as Keanu and Carrie as Carrie. They play themselves in The Matrix. Something happened and they were re-inserted with new lives. Their lives are what they are in real life right now. Pretty much exactly what Cipher wanted in the first movie. It turns out Keanu is really Neo and Carrie is really Trinity but they forgot, except for when they keep experiencing Deja Vu. The Matrix is a real movie in this movie and it was used by the machines to help dispel any reasons they might have lingering memories, it's just memories of making a movie and not a real life. Of course, Keanu and Carrie start to wake up again and see the world for what it really is - a crazy ass simulation. It plays into the world today with how insane everything is that it has to be made up by machines. It plays into ideas introduced in the first Matrix movie and it washes away being forced to recapture how the first three movies felt with a legit reason do they don't have to do lame shiny leather outfits again. It would be someone to play a role of a conspiracy nut that stalks Keanu and tells him that he believes he really is Neo and the movies aren't just make believe. He's really Mr.Anderson and everything in the movies actually happened. Keanu ignores him, of course, but it creates a mental crack in the machines false world for him that unravels through the movie.

    Dr. Stone Intrigues me. Probably the first new anime in a long time to do that.
