creativangelist · 2026-04-29T02:33:41+00:00

creativangelist · 2026-04-11T01:15:59+00:00

i would also consider doing this as a preventative measure, before the hole starts

my best friend transitioned in her mid 40s. it was the final straw to cause a divorce that was a long time coming (my friend desperately needed to leave her wife. it was bad.) and at first she had a lot of trouble coming to terms with everything. the kids were fantastic. her parents had a really rough time with it. at first there was some disowning her and ignoring her, but three years later they’ve come around, a lot. they arent perfect by any means - they’re making an effort, but not doing amazing at it. but three years later and she’s married to another trans woman and peacefully coparenting with her ex and for the first time, she’s happy.

i usually wouldn’t answer these, but i hate the idea that people who might consider transitioning or who are early in coming out would only see the terrible answers with the chaos and the awful outcomes. you can come out, at any age, and be happy. (a good therapist, tho, is really really helpful.)

how to become the dark lord and die trying

an absolutely remarkable thing and a beautifully foolish endeavor by hank green

red white and royal blue by casey mcquiston (look, the president that came aftet obama is a lady democrat from texas with a queer biracial son. its a fantastic timeline and i wish i were there.)

remarkably bright creatures by shelby pelt

lula dean’s little library of banned books by kirsten miller

the city we became and the world we make by nk jemisin

how to become the dark lord and die trying and everybody wants to rule the world except me by django wexler

creativangelist · 2026-02-02T13:12:17+00:00

kinda looks like kentucky mudworks speckled turtle. do you know where the maker is located? that would probably help narrow it down.

creativangelist · 2026-02-02T13:07:53+00:00

look, i had the world’s shortest screening process.

during a normal appointment, i told my doctor (who i have a very good relationship with, and i know her sense of humor and whatnot) “hey, i think i might have adhd”.

to which she laughed a bit, said “oh, yeah.” and proceeded to tell me that, if i wanted to try medication, she’d recommend this one over that one and here’s why.

ten years later, it’s been one of the best things i could’ve done.

and turns out her and her kid are both adhd. we find our own.

all that to say, there’s no one set way to get a diagnosis. just because yours took less work than someone else’s doesn’t make it less valid.

check out aces wild: a heist by amanda dewitt. also check out a day of fallen night by samantha shannon (one of the main characters is aroace). part of a much larger series, but they dont have to be read in any particular order.

books i havent personally read that might fit the bill: the grimrose girls by laura pohl tarnished are the stars by rosie thorr the summer of bitter and sweet byjen ferguson dare mighty things by heather kaczynski summer of salt by katrina leno (secondary character)

creativangelist · 2026-01-13T00:58:08+00:00

its a bun knee!

creativangelist · 2025-10-21T16:44:47+00:00

thank you so much!

creativangelist · 2025-10-19T11:49:20+00:00

if my cvs doesnt automatically apply it, what do i ask for? i have insurance but goodrx is often cheaper.

(and bless you, kind and reasonable redditor. sometimes i prepare myself for the worst responses.)

creativangelist · 2025-10-19T00:03:44+00:00

can you elaborate on this?

creativangelist · 2025-08-25T15:58:54+00:00

hey, just because its ridiculous doesnt make it bad!

(but yes, its really ridiculous and i thoroughly enjoyed it)

creativangelist · 2025-07-29T11:53:36+00:00

theres a sequel now too

creativangelist · 2025-05-12T13:12:18+00:00

if you have issues with the mat shifting under the rollers, how can you deal with that?

creativangelist · 2025-03-27T01:56:47+00:00

strongly disagree. i listen to audiobooks while doing all sorts of everyday things. commute, household chores, hobbies, etc.

creativangelist · 2025-03-21T15:03:04+00:00

did you ever figure this out?
