A Little Personal Growth Makes Things Okay

August 12, 2026I don't think that I've been very active blogging lately. I've just been occupied with other hobbies, so it has been hard to want to put fingers to keyboards in the same way. While out running errands...

I Really Can't Avoid It, Eh?

August 7, 2026In many (or even most) ways, in comparison to many other places, the trans experience in Canada may be somewhat charmed. It's not perfect of course, and the good parts might be more recent than we mig...

Competitive Pleasure-seeking

August 6, 2026Although I have a little page where I keep track of the books I've read, I also have an account on StoryGraph. I find it handy to track which books I've read, but I don't really use it to find new boo...

It's just a little pinch.

August 5, 2026It's a bit unintuitive to me, but since bottom surgery, on-and-off, I've been getting night sweats. I've complained about that here before, but now it has been pretty well established that my sleep ha...

Waiting For Charlotte

August 2, 2026Posting before-and-afters had long been a fairly popular activity for trans people. Well, at least some trans people, and at least in the social media era. Usually tied in some way to an anniversary f...

July 30, 2026For one reason or another, today's road trip memory is from 1996. It was another one where it was my Dad and I, but this time we were helping an aunt relocate from Timmins to Guelph. On the way back,...

Is it 2am already? Time to wring out my nightie!

July 28, 2026One thing I have welcomed into my life since surgery is absolutely terrible night sweats. It's not every night, but it had become quite often that I will wake up at 2 or 3 am (not uncommon for me) abs...

Plans, With A Side of Nerves

July 27, 2026I have to admit that I'm a little nervous. I've got appointments this week, beginning with a dental cleaning today and resuming electrolysis tomorrow. Vegans Who Snack on Friday. It might seem a littl...

A Trip to Guelph

July 26, 2026For one reason or another, I was remembering a road trip to Guelph my Dad and I took - I think it must have been 1989 or 1990 - probably in 1990, some time around when I turned 9. We sometimes took th...
