It’s been a wild ride twitter. Sorry to see you go. 💖

Between a major factor in my recent housing search going bust and reading about some proposed legislation that impacts my ability to exist in society I am starting to think that
I was supposed to wake up in the US today. This feels odd. Stupid covid.
I am really tired of gigs falling through because of covid. If people would just wear masks we could solve this. But every western government has wholesale abdicated responsibility. It‘s so exhausting.

Today marks two years since I began Gender Affirming Medical Care. 🎊 If you knew me before, sorry for being such a miserable argumentative SoB. 😉 There was a lot going on under the surface. It took a while, but I’m finally on track. 🏳️‍⚧️

Academic jobs are the “pay you in exposure” of full time stable employment.

I just turned down a teaching job a big world class university because the after tax salary was about equal to the median price of a 1br. This is a joke, right?

It used to be that opera was the pop music of the day. Verdi played in frontier cowboy bars across the American West. I would love the art form to get back there instead of wallowing in nostalgia and esotericism. 🎵🎶

I am really exhausted from living in a world where bad things happen to good people.

If you ever read Kafka and thought to yourself “Germanic bureaucratic systems cannot possibly be that complex, burdensome, and difficult to navigate” you would be correct. He was being generous and they are far worse.
In 9 days, barring complications, I will be in Wisconsin. 🤞🏻
Exchange rates are so favorable for people earning USD that I am seriously considering a cheap little vacation to the UK.

My issue is not cultural significance but rather as any vague semblance of an appropriate substitution.
Every time I go back to the US for work I get hit with massive culture shock. Adding the weirdness of the Midwest may be too much for me. At least the opera is in German.
I love my job and travel can be fun, but it would be cute if I did not need to fly half way around the world every time I take a gig.
It is national coming out day. Special shout out to anyone who can‘t come out due to safety issues, overpowering comphet, or our cissexist society. It is not easy, so stay strong. You got this. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Why not celebrate with a nice Negroni sbagliato? With prosecco in it. 💅🏻
One of the best American novels I have ever read. Stone Butch Blues is truly amazing.
Who was I now—woman or man? That question could never be answered as long as those were the only choices; it could never be answered if it had to be asked. Leslie Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues

Ok. I may need to figure out a trip to Brooklyn this Fall for the Mugler show. I hope the clothes are more secure than in that first episode of Pose though. Or do I?
