Happy thursday. Got up and am just finished chairing my first online AA meeting. Service and volunteering are in my blood. Service is the last step and I have a lot of work to go to get to that bit, but I've been doing volunuteer work since I could. I started in cubs all those years ago. Another place where all the boys called me a girl and I didn't mind at all.
Have the transgender victoria job fair today so I have to try and get some normal looking outfit together. Being female makes this a lot easier than wearing a fucking suit and tie and having that corporate rope around my neck.
Then I have my usual volunteer work to do on a thursday, counselling and another aa meeting specifically for trans people and allies, then probably more aa with my normal 24/7 group.
I'm over what happened yesterday, but everyone be aware that trolls impersonating our old friends from the reddit DT are here spreading their vitriol so if something seems a bit off from a familiar face, message the og so you can confirm who it is I guess,
Thanks to Briongloid for super prompt action dealing with it and for everyone for reminding me that for every doucebag transphobe I have 50 allies or more! Have a beautiful winter solstice everyone and get some dirt under your toes and hug a tree or whatever connects you to mother nature. She's my guide at the moment. Bless her.
I don't know what the comment that was posted said except it was offensive but this is a safe space here (even though it is the internet) and I'd definitely call shit out if I see it. Have a good day today and remember we're in Melbourne wear black with a small pop of colour.
indeed. I'm wearing black and brown lol
My favourite colours 👍
