I bought a book to help me with my gender anxiety adventure and it has an introductory essay, a forward, an introduction, and a preface

Like holy fuck maybe consider starting a book

that said, like, I know what it is, i know what pronouns resonate with me, i know many other secrets, but I’m just a big disaster about them

It’s very similar to my experience earlier this year when I discovered I still had a few human emotions left that I thought I had brutally murdered several years prior

So this is maybe coping with zombie gender in the same way that I was doing zombie feelings

maybe read some books that are like a biography from people about their own experiences? None come to mind but they might explain things better and not in a ‘you have to read this essay and then write your own phd on it’ level

I actually got a book by a nonbinary person who is a therapist, which is kind of the perfect combo of what I want - personal connection and some kind of authority to speak on a medical/therapeutic/health level.

I’m a ball of anxious headache about it, and despite four starts, this book has been good for The Calming.

Critters that live in caves often lose their energy intensive pigmentation and eyes after some generations in such a low energy ecosystem without much primary production at the base of the food chain to sustain much in the way of complex life. This here gastropod is a fine transparent example, discovered in 2010 in the depths of the Lukina Jama-Trojama caves of western Croatia.

Jennie goes to a football game…

I just transcribed a letter from Jennie (the most proper Victorian girl to ever Victorian) in which she discusses attending a college football game.

She was not impressed…

“My dear Will;-

Where do you think I have been this afternoon? To see a foot-ball game between Williams and Cornell, and I must say I don’t like the sport at all.

This is only the second game I have seen, but I have no desire to attend another. Give me fine tennis playing and no will say I lack enthusiasm. I can’t get up a bit over foot ball… The game proved monotonous to me as the men did nothing but fall into a heap. Neither side scored. Williams came within fifteen yards of her opponents goal but made no touch down in the end. During the first half no one was injured, but it the second half Cornell had one man carried off the field. Everyone one turned out to the game – and Cornell and Williams colors waved from all directions accompanied by wild and vigorous cheering. Being quite neutral I did not deck myself with either of the college colors, but wore my favorite blue…

Just see all I have written about this barbarous sport. Isn’t it shocking? Well let us leave this low plane and ascend two or three hundred feet until we reach that on which Ian McLaren can be found…”

-Jennie to Will, November 14, 1896.
