So. I turn 38 this month & don't want to waste anymore of my life dragging around gender baggage. Consider this my official coming out as genderqueer. They/them or she/her (but preferably they/them). Took me a long time to figure out my gender stuff, & I'm happy with the result. I'm lucky to not go through dysphoria - I like my body; it's mine and while I wish it functioned better the only changes I want to make are more tattoos and piercings. I don't particularly feel affinity toward any gender, but I also don't feel like I *don't* have a gender. I'm just sorta there, you know? Hence genderqueer instead of nonbinary.

I'm all over the web this week! (Well, technically the last article came out last week, but whatevs.) The first article is on sonomamag[dot]com, the second on huffpost[dot]com, and the last two on tor[dot]com.

I've posted before about how Tavish's favorite activity is moving his food blocks from the cage to the couch or bed. Well, Percy hates when he does this and will sometimes sit on the stairs and bite Tavish as he passes. By the point I took this video, Tavish had started trying to sneak around Percy. You can see him creeping around and then darting quickly enough that Percy only just misses him. (Percy doesn't bite hard enough to draw blood; they are both fine with this "game.")
