Holy shit I knew I missed home but I didn’t realise how constantly uncomfortable i was until I just finished showering and got into my own bed.
Like I started getting Very Neurodivergent and a lil crazy and turns out it’s because working + staying somewhere not at home = crazy stargazer.
And now I have a purring cat in my bed and everything is good and my brain no longer feels like someone is trying to scour it with steel wool ^w^
one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
Shinjuku Boys (1995). Tatsu, a transgender man, jokes with his barber about his changing appearance, and his newly masculine features.
TRANSCRIPT:
BARBER: So you go regularly to the hospital for your hormone injection?
TATSU: [nods]
BARBER: Does it hurt?
TATSU: Not at all.
BARBER: You have more facial hair. It must be the hormones. Youโll get a moustache soon.
TATSU: Iโll look distinguished! Theyโve made quite the difference. I never thought Iโd change so much. Most customers say Iโm like a man.
BARBER: Really?
TATSU: [laughing] They say, โYou look like a man. Youโre not cute.โ
BARBER: [laughs]
END TRANSCRIPT.
I love seeing this, because I've looked for many things about trans guys in Japan (in trying to understand how Japan views transgender people on the whole) and other than a few recent things, everything was exclusively about trans women.
@colorsofsocialjustice Hey, I highly recommend checking out this series too:
It's absolutely massive, utterly beautiful, and deserves more attention.

I saw this and just started saying “oh no oh no oh NO” and then made my husband look at it and he said “Oh no” immediately.
i love you transgender people who dont pass. i love you androgyny. i love you confusing gender presentation. i love you existing in grey spaces. you are beautiful and you make this world so much brighter
