Erin in the Morning's newsletter email today starts with 'UK's Labour Party Abandoned Trans People'. I closed the email without reading, and then thought to myself, 'You must be informed of the things that make you afraid.' I reopened the article and read through it quickly, and it was nothing I hadn't already known. It didn't make me feel better. My thoughts had nowhere to go to borrow comfort. At least testosterone hasn't made it hard for me to cry.

I published a free knitting pattern for a vest recently which I designed for myself a few months ago, and I just now ordered yarn to make another sample of this pattern... I know I won't be able to cast it on for at least another few months (functionally monogamous knitter here) but I'm excited... I swear last time I finished a marling project I said 'never again' and yet here I am. Planning to do it again. I usually hate stripes but something about marling (and traditional fair isle, for that matter) just appeals to me so much, it's like painting with yarn.
