I like to imagine moth fairies really like bright lights in the dark, just like actual moths. Maybe they like the warmth of a light, or maybe it looks really pretty to them?
I hope you are all staying cozy this season! Here in Milwaukee we’ve got a lot of snow and it’s so cold out. It’s been perfect weather for bundling up with a game and drinking hot chocolate!
This photo was submitted on May 26 2015. The sender says: “I met this lady at the gas station at the ‘meteor crater’ off the I-40 in northern Arizona. She told me that her husband wrote her love letters all the time. After he died she found this one he hadn’t given her yet among his things and got it tattooed.”
The letter reads:
To My Beautiful Wife Michelle
Never Lose your Courag, Never Lose your Hope.
There is always a Way, I Will Love you honestly Truly and forever.
Love Rudy
My workplace has come a long way when it comes to trans and queer issues on the job. I’m really grateful that it’s standard to have a Chosen Name that’s used on work documents and that once when someone changed my pronouns from They to She in an article about me, they called a whole meeting to educate folks on why not to do that.
But I am tired of getting invited to all these Women Only baby showers.
For a million reasons I need us to divorce the concepts of womanhood and pregnancy. It’s vital to women’s rights and trans rights. I have spent years hounded by assumptions about my body and questions from family about When Will I Have Babies. This is one of the primary reasons I don’t identify with Womanhood. Pregnancy and motherhood are not fundamental to every female person’s life and identity. It is so blatantly sexist to make childbirth and childrearing the exclusive purview of women.
