yeah, having a transitioning loved one can bring up some stuff for you emotionally, but, at the end of the day, it’s a chance to see someone you love become someone they love, and that’s something you should be grateful for.
ok what do i wear to the mountain goats tonight. currently i am wearing the ghost print floral shirt and i can’t decide if i stay with it or not
considerations: a good shirt in the abstract for sure. exists in mysterious casualnoncasual simultaneity. might need a jacket or something bc a/c, would have to choose one? vague dad-adjacency vibes/noncausuality means committing to not being in cool gay tmg chicago audience demo but also allows for smug assertion that in fact in wearing it i understand tmg more as the project toward eventually becoming the dad at the end of the deathseeking teenager tunnel/signalling that i am, thru the magic of therapy, already committed to being alive/jd is a literal dad and even he isnt going to be wearing a button down/i’m gay i can do whatever i want/but i still won’t be interesting
(ETA i forgot the original reason i was even debating the shirt in the first place which is that i have to leave the bottom button unbuttoned or it pulls over my hips, bringing forward some interesting philosophical difficulties about the inextricable gendered quality of my fucking skeleton. but clearly i was distracted by more important matters)
anyway. you know. whatever you guys are thinking. for other options i have like…. t shirts. i could always go with my lc! football jersey but i worry i may have done so before given the ease at which the thought occurs to me, plus it’s a little on the nose to show up in fake sports huge letters DOOMED but then again on the nose is possibly also Part of Understanding the Project
