  3. Oh boy. I forgot that I was playing an old playlist of mine this morning on YouTube.

    Malfunction by Steam Powered Giraffe came on, and I started crying.

    I remember when my ex-wife and I were talking about divorce. That music video came on. It was the first time I saw it. A trans girl had clued me about Bunny's transition. I did come across the band some years back, but I had not kept up with it. It was the first time I saw Bunny after her transition.

    As soon as the song proper started, I started bawling my eyes out.

    Why? Why did I cry?

    I can point to two possible causes. I was crying for my own inner child, who was so often at odds with the rest of the world due to a malfunction that he did not know he had. I did not *know* when I came across this video that I was autistic.

    I think I was also crying mainly for the kids in the video clip. Some of them, most likely with some heavy stuff. I'm a Daddy Dom who often has for partners kids much younger than himself. (All adults, thank you very much.) Part of my role as a Daddy is to support my partners with their health, including mental health.

    I link to the music video below. If you're anything like I am, get your tissues out. 😂

  4. CW: Steam Powered Giraffe - Malfunction lyrics

    Who am I? What am I? What's inside?
    That's causing this malfunction

    Mislabeled, unable, to repair this mal-
    Functioning just fine, I'm alive
    At this junction of dysfunction, we arrive

    What's your malfunction?
    Don't be scared, it don't matter how you wear your hair
    What's your malfunction?
    Find its mirth, perfect's a bore for what it's worth

    Gold,
    silver,
    copper,
    bronze
    The dullest metal can still be strong

    Well we might
    have our share of
    ticks
    But honey that's how we get our kicks

    Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
    Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
    Malfunction! Malfunction! Malfunction!

    My function's desire
    Climb higher than a spider on the wire
    You function in mirth
    But that sector might need rebirth

    I'm about to pick you up
    Get you back up on your feet
    You don't need to worry love
    Even if we're incomplete

    Come on baby open up
    Pull out the wires and trim the fluff
    Being yourself sounds so cliche
    But hey let's do it anyway

    We're functioning just fine, we're alive
    At this junction of dysfunction we arrive

    What's your malfunction?
    Don't be scared, it don't matter how you wear your hair
    What's your malfunction?
    Bring it forth perfect's a bore for what it's worth

    Curvy,
    skinny,
    or bizarre
    The best shape is who you are

    Raise your hand if you're not from a mold (yeah me)
    Varied strings are worth more than gold

    Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
    Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
    Malfunction! Malfunction! Malfunction!

    Feel the fires as they tickle your face
    Watch and learn as they make you feel disgrace
    Ones and zeroes left over, left out to haunt
    Comb them in and let them want

    I want more from this stupid life
    Do you want more from this stupid life? (oh yeah)
    Ones and zeroes, ones and zeroes, ones and zeroes
    Add them up, take them up, show them

    I'm functioning just fine I'm alive
    At my junction of dysfunction we arrive

    What's their malfunction?
    It's a start; can we teach them not to fall apart?
    Their malfunction isn't us, it's all the clamor and the fuss

    When I say that I love you, damn it Janet, take it as truth
    Everything's a little broken
    To be pristine well you must be jokin'

    Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
    Mah-ah-ah-ah-ahl-function away
