LGBTQIA+ Daily Vibe II

[Zrosey]

I'm up and out of bed way too early....sitting here sipping my morning brew, have already completed one load of laundry.
Imagining throwing a few things together, finding a handful of cash, I'm off to the big city of Anchorage for a week!
This is gonna be fun! Watch out gay bar!
Mood: Excited, mildly sleepy tho
Wearing: not much, tiny little skirt and sport bra
see yall later!

So Zrosey is in my tomorrow, but I'm bathed and thinking about bed, once I've lazed in front of the tv for half an hour. I've watched a couple of YT sailing vids that come out on a Friday - these are couples restoring old yachts.
Currently I'm putting together a list of perennials/trees to plant at my sailing club. It's a chance to support endangered wildlife by providing food and shelter habitats for them.
Mood: yawny
Wearing, pjs and a dressing gown

Just stopping bi to say “hi”. It’s a lovely day in Ohio. I’m just hanging out, dreaming, wishing…

 

[Zrosey]

So Zrosey is in my tomorrow

Umm, wouldn't I be in your yesterday? I think you folks are some hours ahead of me!

Besides that, here I am in the big city of Anchorage just now having something to eat before I go out this evening

Darling, as a wee trans girl stepping out into the world, you are definitely in my tomorrow


In my defence I'll point out you're very close to the Int Date line. Also, you're near the top of the world where time must run more slowly because you've less distance to go until tomorrow.

I'm bleary-eyed, looking out into grey half-light and awaiting the Big Storm, which we used to call a Breezy Day.

Wearing: my pjs and a big outdoor fleece top
Eating: my first coffee of the day
Mood: too early to know

 

[Zrosey]

Sitting here, almost too warm in my comfy clothing. Listening to the insistent whoosing white noise of my heater.
Pondering the upcoming day, yesterday a friend said they are coming by sometime today
Meanwhile I feel something, almost like an unease I can't get a finger on. Maybe its guilt because my home is in perpetual state of clutter, and an impending visitor.

I have supper under control, but feels like the only thing that is in my life right now. For a normal person I suspect waiting for an insurance company to inspect and then decide if the car is a write off would not be a big issue. For me it's an uncontrollie: something outside my control - there must be a proper word for it. Our lives are on hold and we're stuck on hold for a week, maybe two. At the end of it we don't know what our new insurance premium will be. Fuck.

Supper is roasted salmon on a bed of spring spuds, and sweet pepper, mushrooms etc.
Wearing jeans and several top layers
Listening to locals letting off fireworks
Mood - as above

Sounds like a total yum!

Listening to locals letting off fireworks

Are they just a frisky bunch? or is there a holiday happening in the UK?

Supper was yum and helped by a new ingredient to me, which is red chilli paste. In small amounts it adds an edge.

Oh, yes it'll soon be Firework night or Gun Powder Plot. We have that to coincide with the American election and spookily enough as a warning that there are always dicks in society who want to blow shit up. You have been warned - that's history for you! I think Guy Fawkes was in with the Catholics. Nuff said.

 

[Zrosey]

Dang! I need to go sleep....I've had maybe a drink too many, and its getting late here.
Just want to say how much I love and appreciate this thread- it feels like a home here on Lit, a place even a queer like me can just be

 

[Zrosey]

On the eve of the massively important federal election in the USA I'm a pretty tightly wound ball of anxiety....
I have avoided news coverage as much as I've been able for about two weeks now but the reality is it is almost impossible to avoid, even living as I do in a small rural northwest town.

*breath deep*

mood: vacillating wildly all over the place
wearing: jeans an hoodie, and long dangly earrings that help me feel okay
sounds: Lou Reed Street Hassle

I'm so sorry, Rosey. Such a bad day for women's rights and LGBTQ+ . I am trying not to think about it and have been unfollowing YT news outlets. Think small, think snow falling and the crisp shush of skis, think animals snuffling for food and the cosy wisps of smoke from chimneys. There are buds on the trees and the frozen spikes of plants will melt and flowers grow in the sun.
Yup, keep breathing. We're trans and we're tough because we have to be. Also gorgeous

Mood - best not say
Wearing - lots of warn stuff
Sounds - the whir of computer fan

On this Day of Remembrance I am going to my post office to get my passport photo taken.
I need my passport to reflect the real me, name and gender.
Hope I am not too late.....

During this ugly time in American history, remember that you have many supporters and allies.

You and Sticky especially are embassadors of rationality and sanity on this forum.

Thank you
I hope we can all stand together, supporting our sisters and brothers. Hard to say what is coming, but likely rough times....

I don't know if the Daily Vibe is the place to post this one, but in the spirit of our Day of Remembrance here is an amazing soul

We can stand together by listening, and by expressing our views with sincerity and honesty.

I live in a remote rural area where local indigenous people have been oppressed for many generations. Their sincerity and honesty provide a refuge from the current storm of hate based on lies.

Also, I can drive about 90 minutes to a university town with a downtown area that provides the same sense of shelter from the storm. The hang-outs allow people to relax and be themselves.

I continue to appreciate any sources of sincerity and honesty on this online forum. Thanks for your contributions.

So yesterday I called my state representative & senator to ask them to oppose HR9495. I won't go into explaining the bill other than to say it provides the coming admin a way to crack down on dissent.
I think moving forward the best thing I can do for myself is to make my small voice heard in whatever way I can.
At least it helps me feel better.

Mood: withdrawn, introspective

I gather Ellen Degenres and her wife have now moved to the Cotswolds in the UK. It's an area of traditionally twee villages with houses built in Cotswold stone that are almost exclusively owned by rich people. I hope she likes cold and grey, having vacated her west coast home. I expect she'll have a gated compound because she'll want to hide from the numerous American tourists who visit the area in summer.

Mood: Oh look, it's Friday
Wearing: Jeans and fleeces ( it's damp and cold okay? )
Listening: doors banging next door as they get ready for work too

 

[Zrosey]

Oh look, it's Friday

 

[stickygirl]

I'd noticed a couple of online comments along the lines of "Jaguar will go bust in a year" but as the words were from political twats, I didn't pay much attention. So yes, I had time just now and apparently the big tough guys who own, or more likely lust for, a Jag have had their fragile manhoods crushed. Here's the ad and if you're not triggered by asshole comments they are hysterical.... poor weewees

Mood: Yeay friday evening!!
Wearing: more fleeces
Music: P!nk
