Fuck you Texas GOP and the horse you rode in on. You can't stop me from becoming the shapeshifting bog witch that I am.

A Marsh Wren is the little sister in training of a Bog Wren.
I still have a lot of work to do to be a good human... but I'm trying. Trying to be worthy of the friendship I have miraculously stumbled upon here. Trying to be worthy of the life my momma sacrificed so much to set up for me.
🎶 I''m just doing my best to be someone with integrity
Somebody good🎶

Welp… I’ve been at the Beige.Party instance for about a month and it’s probably time for an #introduction.
Let’s see… I currently live in my hometown of Houston, Tx
This is a second account to my other, more public policy focused one.
Yep… I’m kind of a politics nerd but I don’t really bring that stuff here. I tend to let my hair down on this account, post about every day things in my life and get a little silly.
I’ve got a handful of hobbies that keep me from being too boring, Those are listed in my profile but for the sake of the hashtags I’ll list them again: #photography #songwriting #watercolor among other things.
I’m a GenXer and believe it or not, I actually am in my mid-50s. Yes, that is a real, unfiltered profile pic of me… unfiltered because I’m too old to know how to apply a filter. I guess I have good genes, good makeup skillz, plus estrogen is like some sort of magic, time machine pill. My body doesn’t make it so I get the store-bought stuff instead. Yep… I’m transgender.
So periodically I post things to get the troops riled up regarding the trans agenda. You know stuff like: selfies out at dinner, selfies of me on a bike ride, selfies of me with new makeup, selfies of me when I go out with my wife. Oh yeah… I'm lebesian, too.
Honestly, being transgender is the least interesting thing about me, like almost every single trans person, which is the parody of the “evil trans agenda”.
Anyway… hello fellow Mastodonian.
Stop in and say hi.
Just had the weirdest interaction while leaving a UPS place. A woman held the door open for me as she continued walking through and I did the same for a somewhat older guy (maybe late 50s) as I walked through.
He playfully said comma "you better open that door for me. I'm disabled. No... it's cause I'm old. No better, I'm a veteran. No because I'm gay."
And I'm kinda just staring at him as he peppers off this all these things in his sentence.
Then he says, "I'm not really."
And I swear on my mother's ashes I responded with a deadpan expression, "Okay. Not that there's anything wrong with that."
And now I'm in my car just laughing and laughing. 🤣
Every now and again on the tiktok, like maybe once a week for the past few months, I'll get some dude asking me if he can be my sugar daddy.
Pshhhh. Like I'm gonna fall for that scam.
I mean really... get pushed in to a higher tax bracket? No thank you, sir. Good day!

I said "GOOD DAY!"
A while back I talked about getting attacked by mosquitoes and a silly conversation my wife and I had where she said maybe it's because of estrogen. She didn't say estrogen. She cupped her boobs talking about my mosquito bites on my chest. 😆
Anyway... she sent me a short video from some guy talking about why these, as he calls them, "tiny flying biochemists" bite some people more than others. He says they're tuned in to your breath, sweat, oils on your skin, and microbiome.
He also goes on to say mosquitoes might bite others more because of high estrogen states like ovulation .
eyebrow wiggle 😆
Holy crap! 😳
My smoke alarm just went off and wow, is that thing loud... an ear-piercing loud beeping. It jolted me out of a sound sleep.
Not sure why it happened but we think it might be a low-battery in one of them? No idea.
Is it weird the thing I'm most thankful for is that I didn't pee myself?
Night night.
Gonna try and go back to sleep.
Like my friend Wallflower, I was reminded of my momma today. I learned after her death from my baby sister that my mother loved dragonflies. She would chase them around when she was little trying to get a better look.
What's coincidental about this is I've been fascinated with dragonflies for a while and the very first necklace I bought for myself when I first started experimenting with dressing as a woman, I bought a dragonfly pendant.
Today I saw what I'm pretty certain is a roseate skimmer. No chance I could get a pic of it. It was flittering about a lot but it landed a few times for a short bit and I could see the brilliant pink of its body.
Of course, I thought of my momma as I whipped my head around trying to follow it and even trying to run closer to where it was sitting.
Here's a pic of one off the interwebz.
While I was out in the yard today
Damn y'all.
Ooof. Started reading my lebesian woman romance novel on the couch about 3pm and the next thing I know I'm waking up and its dinner time.
Holy crap. What happened?
Did I experience....
a nap????
Working out in the backyard must have wiped me out more than I thought.
I've been out in the backyard for about four hours now potting plants, pulling out weeds and then giving our dogs a much needed bath.
They had so much fun running around and chasing each other. After a bath and some time in the sun… they're gonna sleep so hard.
Okay, I know we don't really like tiktok links but this woman... bringin' IHHHT!!!
She's a strong blues woman.
The comments are hilarious. People just posting squished up faces because this woman's blues playing and sing will melt your face off.
If you don't have an account maybe copying and pasting will work?

So that last toot is because of the BizPartner. He called me last night at 8:12pm.
Of course I don't answer. And why didn't I answer?
Repeat after me kids... "Because we keep the boundaries we set!"
My wife said, "Maybe there's something he needs to talk to you about. Just be the bigger person. He's lonely."
I hate that my gut response is to quote my dad which is to blow a raspberry and throw a middle finger. Look. I'm a bean counter. There is absolutely no scenario where a call three hours after closing that I need to be called. None. Not even if the building is on fire.
So this morning he tells me the reason he called is because he had just talked to our UPS rep about 18 shipments that are lost. I was like, "and what was I going to do about it at 8 o' clock at night?"
BizPartner: "Nothing. I just wanted to tell you."
Bro needs to get a fucking therapist because again... I am NOT his emotional support girlfriend! 😡
“Be the bigger person” they say.
Look. I’m only five foot, two and all out of fucks to give.
I don't think it's happening. Happy Friday, y'all.
