At witches.town, we use as the default trans flag. I wanted to raise awareness as to why we should use it and embrace it.
To start, black trans women and trans women of colour face the most violence and are the primary victims of murder and assault. This version of the trans flag was created by Raquel Willis to raise awareness of violence against TWOC.
The second reason is that the white bar in the trans flag we are mostly used to is a graphical representation of a problem in our community: centering whiteness. Trans communities need to decenter whiteness to work for liberation of all trans people.

ok, let's play "good idea/bad idea" -- seeing the same therapist as a close colleague? There's a lot of appeal in following a trusted recommendation. On the other hand, I could see a few ways it could be tricky, depending on the therapist.
It's National Mental Health or whatsit day and that reminds me I need to find me a therapist so let's get on that!
Here to tell you of https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms where you can search for therapists etc by specialization, gender, coverage

So courtesy of @gohomekiki, I’m doing one black and white pic from my life. Every day for 10 days. No context.

LB it's ok, we're just jinxing over here!
The thing is, I do belong to communities of people who write stuff and who make stuff. So. It's ok. And it's ok to start things and be new and do stuff for the first time in one's 30s. And fuck individualism.
So following up on this, I've been having a bit of weird imposter something something for buying a few books about zines. I have this feeling that if I were to do the thing, it should spring organically from my artistic senses and my creativity and all that. But then I've had TWO great ideas since starting to read these books that I think will make the project I'm planning much better or more interesting. I think this is a combination of creative imposter syndrome--and feeling like I may not belong in the space because I didn't join young enough... and individualism.
I have anxiety and I often want to spring into things that would require continuous engagement, like blogging, and then get existential dread about it. That's where this differs. I mean quilts don't always get finished either, btu the model/comparison is sound.
(I think what's critical is this isn't starting a blog or doing a thing, they're all separate ideas, I can work on them like a project just as I would a project like a quilt or something else I craft...)
*whispers to the witches* I have...a few zine ideas.
