Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.

I've got a long term project I'm finishing at work this week, I'm really hoping it'll all be tied together in a nice bow!

And a more fun achievement...I'm finally gonna watch generation kill which has been on my watch list for years. I feel it counts!

I'm having a really rough time, currently. Too many neurodivergent needs, not enough hands, BUT! I'm excited to turn around what seems like a super tricky situation, into a super fun place of joy.

Life is gunna throw stuff at you, you can't change that, and sometimes it's disproportionately heavy handed in throwing the stuff. But you can be super proud of how powerful you are when you make the most of your situation. Proud of how clever and inventive and unstoppable, you are. This seems like I've been backed into an impossible corner, but I'm excited to show my kids how anything is possible, you just gotta get creative. I'll find joy and I'll fill our home with it and I'll remind them how truly lucky we are. And then I will have handled this like the true boss I am. It seems impossible to get time to meet everyone's needs let alone make time for self care, but I will turn that around. I've done more with worse situations than this. I absolutely have got this.

I've also been gifted a really good quality bike! (thanks Dad!) That I'm super excited to ride and improve my health (just got a fun times diagnosis of fibromyalgia, after asking for the last 9 years why I'm in so much pain all the time) but now I know, I also know how to battle it!

I miss riding a bike, I loved riding my bike as a kid. I'm so looking forward to connecting with my child self, wind in my hair (well the wispy bits around the helmet, anyway, lol)

That sounds rough mate, you've got a lot going on. I'm really impressed with how you're putting a positive spin on it. Connecting with your childhood through biking is a great idea, I'm really pleased you're doing that

First day of summer classes is tomorrow!

First day at new job is, too!

So all I want is... survival!

I'm working on a wristlet, probably my biggest and most complex (self drafted) leatherwork project I've embarked upon so far.
