After frustrating news at work I can’t find the damn nail polish remover which I need to use before my son’s scout meeting because I need to fucking pretend to be cis. On the one hand I feel like this should be a sign or whatever but also I do not have the energy to deal with potentially starting shit tonight

I think at least most people would be cool with me wearing nail polish but again, just reeeeally don’t want to have those conversations rn

@dconley ugggg. i know this feel. it's so draining to answer random impolite questions from people when you're trying to work through your own stuff and just live your experience.

i'd highly recommend at least doing it at home, or in situations where you won't have to have a confrontation or expend emotional labour about it. it's good for your heart, and you shouldn't let other people drain you to the point that you aren't doing things you enjoy.

big big hugs. ❤

@nergdron oh yeah I wear nail polish regularly, and at work! (Which was a big deal for me when I first did it). Scouting is just... a little different.

@dconley fair. my mom put me in scouts as a kid. I did not have a good time.
