Well, didn't manage to nurse the above for the summer. :dunno:

Currently reading "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy.

This should take the better part of the summer.

If not, I guess I'll need to start reading "War and Peace.<giggle>

Huggs, :wub:

I'm currently reading The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. It's sci-fi with a literary fiction feel, and I'd heard great things about it, but I was not prepared for how amazing I'm finding it to be!! Love this one so far.

Right now articles about Thomas Picketty's book Capital in the 21st Century. I think I need to get the book as well. It's an interesting set of premises. I'll have to see if I feel convinced of his position after reading it.

Funny autocorrect. Philip K penis is famazing; have you read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep"? Its super-downer, but a very deep take on human empathy and the nature of the soul. penis is my 3rd favorite scifi author behind Bradbury. 451 is mindblowingly good.

Currently rereading Wicked, and then slogging through Steven King's Under the Dome to prepare for the miniseries this summer.

I do love me some philip K penis.......

Couldn't help myself. :blush:

I started reading "Trans Activism in Canada a Reader" Edited by Dan Irving and Rupert Raj.

I found it at a WorldPride affiliate event.

I wanted to save the read for this winter but couldn't. :banghead:

Trans bodies, Trans selves.

Very well organized, I read the "history" sections tonight, quite informative.

Time to shamelessly plug my latest novel by saying that I am reading A Darker Side Of The Light by Sally Michelle Jackson but in truth, I am writing the next one which I hope to finish by October.

Shameless plug is over, continue with your reading.

Love ya,

Sally

The Horus Heresy books by a plethora of authors. Mainly reading these since I'm a huge fan of science fiction and I play warhammer 40k.

"Raising Steam" by Terry Pratchett. Not getting very far because of work, but it looks good so far. Also "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson, because I... forgot I was reading it. Due to work...

Bondage Of Self by Kaitlin S, Riordan.

I met Kaitlin at Southern Comfort Conference two weeks ago. She has about 3 months of sobriety more than I do but our stories are so similar that it is uncanny. Needless to say my copy of the book is author signed with a note to me about our dual sisterhood.

"Transgender Studies Quarterly" Vol. 1 . I doubt the next issues will be as book like but the first issue is 300 pages. The articles are very scholarly which makes reading difficult at night. It seems to promote a good nights sleep. Worth subscribing to however. Published by Duke Press if you want to order a subscription.

Hugs,

Ha! I've done that more than a few times. Just did that this week. Threw a book into my backpack, went to read it on the bus, only to discover there was already one in there.

I love Snow Crash. It's compared to Gibson's Neuromancer but for me it's not even close, love Snow Crash and gave up quickly on Gibson.

I haven't gotten around to reading more Stephenson.

I'm about halfway through A Game of Thrones, and then I also just started The Strain by Chuck Hogan & Guillermo del Toro, thanks to season 1 of the tv show ending and me deciding I needed more asap. So far, it's really good omg.

I'm reading "The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors," a fictionalized account of the real Battle of Leyte Gulf during WWII. I'm kind of a history buff, especially about that period.

I am not currently reading anything because I am in the middle of writing my fourth novel, the third in a series.

I cleverly waited until the second book of the series to introduce two trans characters.

I try not to read anything while I'm writing because I don't want to be influenced to copy someone's style.

Love ya,

Sally

      @LadypcnjI'm sorry. I know the feeling my mom thinks I'm going through a phase too although I didn't come out till April 17, 2023, so it was later in life. I was in denial majority of my life. I would love to hear more about this if you are comfortable sharing more of it.

      I love fashion. I have over 100 dresses and 74 pairs of shoes. My walk-in closet is full of other clothes as well. I'm getting more shorts soon. SHEIN is awesome for quality and price. Just when you get a leather coat from them it's just the shell not the liner. Most of my shoes are from Torrid because I wear size 13 women's.

      My VPN is Surf Shark. It has been good to me so far.

      Unfortunately Oklahoma is about as bad as Texas but definitely not as bad as Florida. Especially as a minor! 
    • Ashley0616
      I'm sorry @Ladypcnj I can only sympathize with you on that. Therapist on the other hand is crazy. I have had 16 in 10 years. It sucks having to have to go over things. I will say though after 6 therapists I didn't have to explain my history they simply read the history. 
    • Ashley0616
      I followed you and will give you my advice when I can. It has happened to me a lot too. If you want to you can always message me and I'll get back to you ASAP. I understand your concerns.

      I don't use it.   One of my daughters gave me a little to experiment with, but I haven't.  My youngest tried to put some on me once, but I din't like it.  The light was pretty bad admittedly. My ex didn't use it, and my daughters didn't use it much either when they were still at home.  (If so it was very subtle) And I don't often notice it on women my age (mid 70's)   I shave every day.  But my beard is not heavy, and essentially grey, so it's not real noticeable unless you get close with good light.  I was starting to look into electrolysis, but the pandemic hit, and I just kinda dropped it.   Sometimes I do wonder about it though.

      It's something I'm just learning but I find I actually enjoy the 'craft' of it in addition to how it makes me look. Even after a fresh shave, I have a mild 5'clock shadow. For me, the primary use of makeup is to get rid of that. I'll start with the orange concealer over facial hair areas and a bit under my eyes. Liquid foundation over that and light concealer used judiciously over that (still dialing that part in). Then just a tad of powder to bring color back in certain places. There are a number of Youtube tutorials on that layering process.    I'll also pencil in my eyebrows a bit since they're blonde and otherwise not very visible. Sometimes I'll get adventurous and give mascara a try but that's a delicate skill and usually I mess it up. I don't particularly like lipstick, but just ordered a 'lip pencil' to experiment with. Hoping for a more subtle effect.

      Sunday is my weekly ablution day - all of the parts that need occasional shaving get their required attention. The weather is rainy and cool today so after the ablutions and shower, I put on blue jeans, a gray t-shirt and a black front-zip hoodie along with gray sneakers.   And, I did put on make-up, not to impress anyone but just to feel as if I'm looking my best....as good as that can be given this woman is now 69 years old.

      There are lots of us here willing to offer support, ideas, a shoulder or just a smile. Working with your therapist and finding your true self can be difficult process...but it will also be filled with wonder and joy as you discover that person who's been waiting inside you to be found.   Just know that you are not alone.

      Thank you KayC!  I am just trying to keep breathing. I don't have a huge amount of time in my life for self exploration.  My job and responsibilities have me second guessing all my inner work.  I do have time off in the summer - coming up soon as I am a teacher.  Only a few workshops.  Looking forward ward to some introspection.     :) Mealaini
