#pocket 2016. I took this photo at my first team week. As a daily user, joining Pocket was a dream for me. I’d always wanted to work on something I actually used, and the product sat at that intersection of web client and news utility that I was already extremely invested in.

Finally photographing again. 🥰

I tapped out my annual #transdayofvisiblity work post while standing on a street corner in the rain. It was exceptionally easy this year: all my thoughts are right at the surface.

Heritage Auctions has a lot of anime art up for sale, including this amazing layout cel from my fave, Gunbuster!

Unfortunately, … I already bought … this cel … at auction … years ago?

I’m starting to think the whole cel economy is fake. 🥹

My vibe this week. ☺️

Not bad for a girl who grew up with the NES. Party time! 💃

At seven, she’s officially a senior citizen. 🙀

It’s been almost a year since I moved to San Francisco, leaving behind a house full of stuff in the East Bay.

No more. It took most every weekend in January and February, but the house is finally empty and ready for the gardeners, painters, cleaners, stagers, and realtors to do their thing.

All that’s left for me is figuring out what to do with the dozen boxes of overflow squatting in my apartment.

Beware ye who try to seize my morning-after açaí bowl from me.

Sound therapy … on rafts.

Kicking it at The Roxie for The Beaches of Agnès. Always excited for more Agnès Varda. ☺️

We can’t ever know the inner state of another.

In the East Bay today to dog sit and catch up on Lower Decks.

I spent my holiday break in Tucson, Arizona with my mom and the elder of my two younger sisters. It was ❤️: I re-bonded with my sister, re-connected with old friends, and ate a lot of food. 🥰

I also passed pretty consistently with strangers (at least as far as I could tell).

It’s one of those curious things about being a Bay Area Transperson: you tend to pass more easily when you’re traveling than when you’re home. San Franciscans tend to know what’s up; they also tend to be kind about it. 😘

Went to a wedding. Here are my favorite three photos.

I’ve never fainted before, but I managed to do it twice on election day. I missed the counting, which was probably a good thing, and deepened a friendship, which is always a wonderful thing.

As to the election itself … that requires more words than I have right now.

I haven’t posted here as much this year as I would like. I pin most of the blame on the pressures of my employment, which have consumed my waking hours with such ferocious appetite that there’s very little of me leftover to write, and very little that I can write about other than the perks and perils of corporate employment in our late, great capitalist dystopia.

But here’s a cool jacket.
