I got to say it’s amazing how someone with no face or name can be such a source of light and energy.

Last night I was checking Tumblr for more MercyMaker (I’m the biggest slut on the planet for the ship lol) and some anon poster just left a sweet and kind mesage saying how it’s nice I try to say positive things to fandoms both I Ship as well as those I don’t.

It truly made my evening and I swear gave me extra pep this morning during my work out. I get so caught up in worrying about if anyone can accept me I always back out of trying, and yet I’ve felt better then I have in weeks all because of some random person did that.

Not sure why I feel the need to post this other than there really are amazing people and damn if I don’t adore that person for what they did.

Has anyone else had an experience like that? Did it stick with you?

The ones with the graham cracker on top is s'mores, and the other is glazed. A local doughnut shop named Krumpes do-nuts makes them here in Maryland. Though I live in West Virginia.

My ex loved their doughnuts and I'd mail him a dozen ever so often.



You are not ugly! No one here is ugly except me.

You were in Maryland?? O:

Well of course but I mean the stories from those two coming together lol.

lol, yes I agree.

There's a Youth Pride Festival happening at Dupont Circle this Saturday, is anybody in DCGAF going?

The small non-profit I'm working with donated for Youth Pride, and I think my director wants us to do something but I don't want to go. I want to have a three day weekend because of Columbus day on Monday! lol

The other non-profit I used to work with is not doing anything this year I think.

So this creepy thing is happening to my friend. Someone got hold of his old number, grabbed his current WhatsApp photo and used it with this number, and started messaging some of his exes and friends, obviously trying to impersonating him, however this mistery person only says "hello! " With a winky emoji.

Obviously my friend is freaking out, I told him to relax and I initially thought it was just some phishing scam, someone got his old sim (he lost it) and is now sending messages to these contacts in the sim to extract personal information, but now I'm not sure if is a crazy ex or worst, his current boyfriend. He tends to have really crazy jealous boyfriends.

Anyway, he cancelled the number and contacted WhatsApp, I hope they block this nutjob, but it's still creepy.

Sweet jebus, that is horrible.

I can't even imagine what that must feel like, I really hope Whats App takes care and helps your friend straight away because that is some creepy stuff.

It's awful,but at least the picture he uses is not of him, is of a landscape.

It makes me glad that I always use landscapes for these public photos whether is Facebook or Instagram, until now I didn't realize how easy it is to steal the pic and impersonate someone.

My grandmother bless her soul, is always diving into my dating life. She is super supportive of me and is always asking if I have been lucky enough find someone to date. She asked me how things are going and I told her not good, and she was like "Mark, there is someone out there who is wishing for the exact samething as you. You'll eventually find someone, don't give up hope." My grandmother is like the inspirational cheerleader.

For the record, she became my rock after my ex left, which is when I came out to her. It was hilarious as she figured it out but was like "I love you regardless, I just had to wait for you to tell me!" She still believes my ex is a great guy and all, just she is saddened as she loved him. She loves everyone.

You're grandma sounds like an amazing woman and I love her for that level of support.

She is alot like my SO and my Mother in Law who are very supportive of me finding someone and always point out women and try to let me know that I can find someone if I keep looking.

I'm extremely lucky to have her honestly. She is the last remaining grandparent I have. Support systems are everything! I know the whole "keep looking, and don't give up" thing is completely true, but it's soul crushing when you can't figure out why you aren't good enough.

You are extremely beautiful and I'm sure you'll find yourself an amazing woman. <3. I guess we just have to continue to push through. One day... I tell myself lol.

Now excuse me while I go work off some of this anger. Working out always helps clear my head. Plus I'm not skinny enough apparently.

Double post but I don't give two shits.

So I have this friends with benefits situation with this handsome bear. He's great but like... last time he invited me over as I was driving there he was like "oh btw there's this other guy here too." I was like... the fuck. So I walk into his place and he's getting fucked by this guy and I'm like ok I need to pee and I just waited for this other guy to finish and leave!

This entire situation is messy and I don't want to date the bear but like the days he hooks up with people... he hooks up with like 3-4 people in that day. Just one after the other. It's alarming. But I have no right being surprised because he literally hit me up on scruff while I was shopping with just a simple "let me blow you" message and I was like... sure.

I don't know the point of typing this all out other than to say what the fuck is going on here on this day.

Oh Gibbs and Beth. There was this one poster on here back when I used to just lurk these threads I think his username is CosmicBus? I haven't seen him around but I remember he used to make very frustrated posts about dating and how difficult it was and then I remember seeing that he got married?! So honestly you just have to stick it out, these things take time unfortunately.

You’re right KmA.

As far as that goes I know a few of my Gay friends in the male side are really into that exact setup, who want to get blowed and plowed by one dude after another, honestly my in person relationships are nearly all like that.

No judgements as they should do what makes them happy, I just don’t even know what that would feel like to show up, it seems like at least to be respectful to a FWB to say I got company right now as well, not like they need your permission but just a cool heads up so you know when you show up.

So my director got me this personal coach person...? I've seen and met the guy already and he's really nice. He does coaching or something like that, but the first thing I asked her was if there was something wrong with me or my work performance. She said that no it wasn't none of that. still, don't know what to expect tomorrow. She said I could talk to him about anything that's bothering me etc as far as work related, and well it's a lot but my fortune cookie from the Chinese food of this weekend said keeping one's mouth shut is the golden rule. So I'll be sticking to that.

I'm rarely the type to judge harshly but he doesn't sound like dating material at all. Get what you can from him while you can and keep it at that. Just my two cents.

How is everyone doing?.

Ask this coach guy if he likes it up the butt.

Not too bad, was able to get in a full 3 hours this morning and after starting this awful Keto stuff it felt good to push the fat out my system.

My best friend and wife are saying I should go out Saturday night as I'm getting another tattoo done but I am already thinking of excuses not to lol......le sign

Cosmic still posts all the time. He's married now and has a full time job, so not as frequently as those of us with nothing to do.

Does anyone have any recommendations for books written from a trans perspective or with trans themes? They can be fiction or nonfiction.

Sadly I can't say that I do.

Despite being Transgender I've always just flat identified mostly as Lesbian so I've always gone seeking Lesbian Material be it Novels or Fan Fictions.

I can ask a couple of my Transgender friends though and see though im not sure if they do.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Wandering Son, but it's a manga not a book.

Bokura no Hentai is really good as well but it's not available in English unless you're open to alternate avenues of acquisition. My favorite two pages from Bokura:

I would avoid the anime.

It’s not horrible but I don’t feel it does the content justice. For Wandering Son that is.

I'd recommend Full Fathom Five by Max Gladstone. It's the third book in a series, but they're pretty standalone. The main character is a transwoman stockbroker/priestess who used a magical pool to remake her body.

I swear it makes more sense in context. The world is slightly complicated.
 
Catching up on giant bomb videos
I'm so behind. One and a half episodes into XCOM and Sunshine. I haven't seen a upf or playdate in months.

Please make:

I was surprised Ben talked about being a virgin in the podcast with Gita Jackson since I thought he talked about lying in bed with a partner on a bombcast (gender neutral term)

Oh, I forget that GB does that. I'll listen as soon as I have a chance.

Also, fab folks. I only have one more work week ahead of me before I leave for my FIRST vacation with BAE. 11 days in heaven. :)

This guy getting multiple dicks daily while in my world *tumbleweed*

Another thing that's always eluded me is having sex multiple times a night or like back to back. Nobody I been with ever wanted/tried that (and once I'm asleep I'm not waking up until morning lmao).

Wandering Son was the sledgehammer to my gay lil trans heart. I couldn't deny anything after that.

I'll look into Wandering Son as a manga and Full Fathom Five. Thanks for the recommendations!
