Trans person trying to be a bit better every day. I use this space to think out loud and share little bits of my work (mostly essays, photography, programming stuff) that are incomplete or have no other home. More serious stuff goes on my blog!

You can use gender neutral or girl words to refer to me.

Me, checking Instagram just now: "... is that a screenshot from an Abbas Kiarostami film???"

there's something really fun about seeing obscure media in random places because someone happened to like a quote or a visual.

You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:

  • Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships — they're spacecraft designed for warfare.
  • C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the Tannhäuser Gate.
  • Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data.

The bottom line: All those moments will be lost — like tears in rain.

"The soul misses the unforever of old age, the skin
that no longer fits. The soul misses every single day
the body was sick, the now it forced, the here
it built from the fever. Fever is how the body prays,
how it burns and begs for another average day."

"Christine," they said, "we want to talk to you about something before you go off to college"

I thought they were going to warn me about partying

"You've really gotten into this Linux thing. But college is also a time where you're supposed to develop your social life, and if you just sit in your room playing with Linux, maybe you won't. We want you to uninstall Linux from your computer"

Oh! Well okay.

I lied and told them I would and wiped the Windows partition. Best decision of my life.

There are two types of friends, the ones that send links with tracking parameters and the ones that carefully remove them before hitting send. Just know we see you 👀

Also, if you look at the Billboard Top 100, the top 24 songs for the same week are ALL Christmas songs. ALL of them. The 25th song is something from Kpop Demon Hunters.

That speaks to how much more diverse music is these days, I think. There's not an agreed upon mainstream sound anymore, and so the only thing a large number of people agree on is circumstantial, like a holiday.

Compare to the first week of 2002: what we agreed on was "How You Remind Me" by Nickleback.

Also, #39 on the rock chart for the week ending Jan 3, 2026 was Deftones. LOL.
