Welp, new #introduction time!

👋 I'm Solcte, otherwise Sol or Spirit. I'm just a country bumpkin trying to be a grown-up in this crazy world. Sometimes.

🌿 Things I like to talk about will include outdoor wanderings, books, attempts at sewing creations and talking about my sonas/OC's.

Always happy to meet new folks, message me anytime! I'm friendly. 🙂

Speaking of visibility, I recently got my hair dyed for the first time in a couple years. Decided to go loud and PROUD with the Genderqueer colors! I'm loving it!

With the current climate of reducing restrictions and rising Covid + cases - I won't be going to Megaplex this year. Seeing the airlines practically rolling out the welcome mat for Covid + folks was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Sad because this would've been my first EVER vacation outside of my own state. There's so many friends and awesome people I want to see! But, the risks are adding up too much.

I really wish people would take Covid seriously.

Lots of experimentation later, and I finally found a marker that works for drawing patterns on dark fleece! This silver metallic Sharpie worked out here.

Taking a few days off to relax and ground myself again. I want to go out somewhere, but I'm also still afraid to be around large crowds..

Then, there's the constant pull between "be productive!" and "you need to relax harder!"

Making plans is challenging.

Went to pull out a really old button-up shirt and I'm like.. titty pockets? Seriously? No wonder I never wore this.

Hm.. I've recently found that my town/area has a couple private Facebook groups for LGBTQ+ community/resources. I stopped using FB a LONG time ago so I'm annoyed to see these groups only on FB.

But, now I'm thinking of activating my account again just so I can access this community and tap into these resources. I just hate FB so much, though.

New plush friend has joined the family! Their name is Gummi.

Currently collecting these unicorn hybrid plushies every time I find one - they also light up and play music!

Grr. Trying to scale up sewing patterns for printing and finding my printer isn't cooperating.. maybe I'll try at the library tomorrow.

I'll go first! It may be silly, but some of the things that bring me joy on tough days are .. my comfort buddy, Thor! (The decidedly trans hedgehog. She lights up and plays sound, too!)

And Pokemon. And my gardening. And feeling inspired to create new things from all of these. It's the little things that make me smile, okay?

The last couple days have been .. rough.

Fellow friends, can you please share positive stories and/or things that bring you (queer/trans) joy in the difficult days? What lifts your spirits in these times?

Let's get some positivity running through here!

Been working in the garden most of the day and I am TIRED.

Just planted jalapenos, tomatoes, parsley, mint, marigolds, plus several flowers and sprucing up the soil around the place.

I'll try to share photos and updates soon. ish.

So today I repeatedly asked a co-worker to use my they/them pronouns. They finally rebutted saying it's "against their beliefs" and they think they "shouldn't have to do that"

I had to leave the room and find help because I started shaking/crying. Spoke to my boss who is basically "yeah that's discrimination, but.. we can't change people's beliefs" I just, can't anymore. I'm so tired of garbage humans.

Can I just fade away and cease to exist now?
