I just watched Will & Harper on Netflix. Spoilers ahead. Do not read on if you want to avoid them. It was … Beautiful. Funny. Heartwarming. Heartbreaking. All of that, and more. So much has been said, probably better than I ever could, about this documentary.
Due to a bit of a SNAFU with my insurance approval, it became necessary to reschedule my upcoming gender affirming surgery. It seems that the insurance approval was only valid for a specific period of time. In this case, that period of time was 2 months.
Warning: If you watch the video of Harris’ speech, have some tissues handy. Hell, even if you choose to read this post on my blog, you might want to grab some tissues.
To those of you, my dear readers who are in the Northern Hemisphere, I wish you a blessed Mabon. The Autumnal Equinox is a traditional time for acknowledging the passing of the seasons from Summer to Autumn.
Mabon is a harvest festival, and is often celebrated as such with a feast. As the first day of fall, it is often celebrated by Pagans and non-pagans alike. Follow the link above to learn more about the Pagan festival of Mabon.
For everyone else, here’s an article from USA Today on the first day of fall. Enjoy the changing of the seasons. Fall colors will arrive soon, and the trees will show us their glorious autumnal colors. The air will soon begin to cool, and we can pull out our warmer clothes and our woolen gloves.
Lest I forget my friends in the Southern Hemisphere, a blessed Ostara to you. Have a wonderful day celebrating your Spring Equinox.
Recently, I came across a piece that Julia Serano published on the topic of “male socialization” and how that is wielded as a weapon against women like me. The piece is from November of 2023.
A recent article in The Guardian is headlined “US health system ranks last compared with peer nations, report finds”. I won’t link to that article, as I don’t like to give clicks to that largely transphobic media source.
I am a well educated woman, a lesbian, and an eclectic Pagan. I am loving and giving. I am a caretaker type, who often fails miserably at self care. I have fibromyalgia, seizure disorder, and AFib.
I am complex, complicated, and worth the effort.
