Craftorama room mock-up.

Didn't even start working on it yet (other than this mock-up), because I started doing the "I've been meaning to get to this" things, and those things took all freaking day. Well, most of the day. I also took a nap. I do love my naps.

I posted on DOA (I have an off-topic project journal going), and someone immediately zeroed in on something I have been studiously avoiding thinking about: how am I going to store this stuff?

I have fabric and no clues how to organize it.

I have dolls, but those are kinda organized (storage tubs and stuff).

I have crafting supplies that are just sort of... everywhere.

And then, there's the dollhouse stuff. I have kits and two Barbie houses. And furniture. And props. And tools and glue.

Oh boy.

Craftorama room is a converted bedroom, so there is a closet. But, uh, even if I want to store everything in there, I have to organize it somehow.

Crap. I guess it's off to Pinterest, although Pinterest has become less useful now that they are desperately trying to monetize everything as aggressively as possible. It used to be you could turn off the search stuff for sale option, but I think they got rid of that when everyone turned that option off. Now it's just ad, ad, ad, marginally useful thing, spam, spam, ad, ad, ad.

A fabric organizing method that looks really nice is to either fold everything into the same dimensions and then stack or line them up on a shelf, or wrap them around same-sized bits of cardboard and stack them. I've seen people using comic book backing boards, too.

I had started doing the comic boards at one point then got lazy and since I don't sew much, my fabric stash is pretty small. It's all chucked randomly in a bin.

my babies are all grown up

I saw recently someone accuse nonbinary people of "riding the coattails" of binary trans people, and I cannot emphasize this enough: take my coattails, hold them in your hands, pull yourself up by my bootstraps. Together is how we thrive, together is how we fight, together is how we win.

There are queer people out there who when they see another branch of the queer community either succeeding or receiving support, their reaction is to try and pull them back down. The logic is often: if I had to suffer, so do you.

If I could give a piece of advice to anyone just entering the queer community, it would be: be wary of people who want suffering more than solidarity.

Remember, in this community, we are not here to fight for scraps, we are here to rise together.

Also, goddamn, maybe people could take the time they wanna use to make ignorant posts about enbies, and instead use it to read some seminal trans writing?

Like, I dunno.... Transgender Warriors? Trans Liberation? Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation? Boys Like Her: Transfictions? My Gender Workbook?

Just off the top of my head.

All of these are 90s trans books that helped shape the movement. All of them are by and about enbies who have been major figures in the trans movement.

We've all been building this together, hand in hand, the whole entire time.

We're always gonna have a handful of people who have grasped binary transness and nothing else. We're always gonna have to point them towards the rest of our collective reality.

But seriously, it's RIGHT THERE. (And you can read a lot of it for free at openlibrary.org.)

Respecting yourself is so important. Speaking well about yourself. Taking care of yourself. Comforting yourself. Having empathy with yourself. Letting yourself rest. Surrounding yourself with people that treat you well and also respect you. Putting up boundaries with people that don't. You are worth the world.

the silly is back

Today I found the other color of the 1988 Burwood bench at the thrift store! It was broken but 50% off so I brought it home.

Peeled off the hot glued bears and doilies. Scrubbed in hot soapy water.

Took the metal hanging brackets off the tops and screwed them into the back left side where the pegs were broken off. Used the brackets as substitute pegs, hot glued into place. Works great!

Demon eyes are my weakness (plus they’re hella easy to edit)

I should have known one day you would come. All of us walk so blind in the sun.

People say “phase” like impermanence means insignificance. Show me a permanent state of the self.
