-- America’s Mouth Is Full of Blood --
Metal scrapes enamel. That specific sound teeth make when hygienist finds the tender spot. My mouth stretched wide by latex fingers and chrome instruments. Can’t speak. Can’t swallow. Can’t look away from the ceiling TV where CNN scrolls red banners about political assassination.
“Just a little pressure here,” she says, digging deeper.
Minnesota lawmaker dead. Husband dead. Second lawmaker critical.
The suction tube gurgles pink water. Taste of iron and mint. My tongue trapped under dental dam while democracy bleeds out on mute television. Perfect fucking symmetry.
Phone in pocket buzzes against hip bone. Can’t check it. Hands gripping armrests like I’m falling out of a republic.
“You’ve got some buildup on the lower incisors,” hygienist continues, oblivious or indifferent to the news crawl. “Have you been flossing?”
Assassination at 2 AM. Man dressed as cop. AK-style weapons. The details drip into consciousness like novocaine, numbing everything they touch. I try to nod about flossing but the tools prevent movement. Democracy’s molars crumble while I can’t even close my jaw.
Melissa Hortman. Dead at scene. Multiple gunshot wounds.
The overhead light burns retinal afterimages. Hygienist hums something unrecognizable. Country music or hymn or both. Her gloved fingers taste like institutional latex, that specific medical flavor of enforced vulnerability. I breathe through my nose. Count ceiling tiles. Try not to think about how this same helplessness scales up to continental collapse.

It's been 3 years since I came out as trans, and it continues to be a challenging journey. The last 12 months especially I have seen some new lows but hopefully it has put me on a more positive trajectory for the future. #Trans #transjourney #Translife #Seperation #transexperience #movingon

-- Constitutional Spitroast --
The legal language glows on my laptop. Bloodless. Technical. “The Secretary of Defense may determine those military activities that are reasonably necessary and appropriate.”
Reasonable…
Appropriate…
Words still dressed in their Sunday best while weekend passes expired for constitutional separation of powers.
Weather alert flashes. Storm warnings. Barometric collapse. Democracy depression incoming from the southwest. Pressure dropping inside my skull in time with atmospheric systems.
Trump’s order hands federal land to the military. Creates “military installations” on US territory. Gives Pentagon jurisdiction over American soil with rules of engagement drafted by generals, not legislators. Legal document reads like necropsy report for republic that died without anyone noticing. Constitution didn’t flatline dramatically. Just got quietly rewritten in bureaucrat-ese while Americans argued about gas prices.

Understanding My Trans Journey
I’ve signed off many posts on my blog with the sentence “The journey continues.” It’s time I expounded a bit on the meaning behind that.

I normally don't like having my hair tied back. It tends to emphasise certain things, but it is too windy in Melbourne, so it's a necessity. Seems a bit better than usual. #trans #transexperience #transjourney #mtf

After attending Midsumma and getting over a little more of my internalized shame, I wanted to hit out at those who want us to disappear in the background and just don't get Pride. #Transpride #LGBTQIAPride #LGBTQIACommunity #Pride #Transexperience

Do you identify as trans or non-binary? I’m asking because I identify as nonbinary and I want to build friendships and connections with other people like me! If you’re cisgender I want to know who my allies are. #mastodon #Trans #TransExperience #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Queer #Gay #GayMastodon #QueerMastodon #GetToKnowMe #PollTime #AskAway
