  there was a period of time, maybe 2 months ago, where i was like "i need to donate all my boy clothes" cuz they made me look masc and i hated that. i'd just come out, and dressing fem was the main way that i expressed my gender and felt good about it. enough time has passed that now when i wear these boy clothes, i still just feel completely fucking fem and maybe even lightly butch in a way i like?! i don't have room in my life for all these clothes! but i can't get rid o...

  working on accepting myself. i am enough. i am happy. i don't need anything more than i have. the things that i want to change will change in due time. just keep going. for instance: it's okay that not every song has every kind of idea. a song can be in 11/8 and it doesn't also need unexpected harmonic motion and voice leading. a song can have a lengthy chord progression with a dense melody and not also need 5-part vocal harmony and microsound. songs can be instrumental...

  Added a secret journal to my site. It's password-protected in a fun way — decrypted as you type. Get the password right and *poof* the words pop out. I'm going to post little updates once in a while for the humans in my life, away from the prying eyes of LLMs. Would you like the password? Have we ever DM'd or talked? Then probably! DM me :) And — 1000 internet points if you can crack the encryption by any means. I think it's pretty tight, but I'm still...

  i'm writing a few little poems today. let's call this #DecemberAdventure. some of them i can't share publicly (body talk), but here's one. it's a poem in typescript, which is a programming language for people who want to be told that they've made a mistake.
