This morning was more waiting at the DMV for a new license, vehicle registration and title. But now, BOOM!π₯, that's done too.
Your girl Elizabeth Anne Melton here doesn't just wait around for the paperwork to happen all by itself. ππ₯³ππ₯°π

It was in a hand-addressed envelope addressed to \"Elizabeth Anne Melton.\" Who is now me. ππ₯°π Just thought you might want to know.
Now Imma hot-foot it to the court on Monday and pick up five \"official\" copies with the stamped seal. For a mere $200. And then start making the rounds to Social Security, the DMV, etc. It's always more paperwork. π€·ββοΈ

But recent events, especially politics, are taking a toll. It's very difficult to read not just the news itself but your reactions to it.
I'm dealing with a LOT of existential dread right now. As are many of my #trans siblings. And mental health comes first.
So, you may notice the firehose slow to a trickle. Or even stop for awhile.
Thank you for understanding. ππ³οΈββ§οΈ

The reaction was incredible, which I documented with this next blog post:

Anyway, I wanted to send you all another love letter. Because I continue to receive so much affirmation and support here. I'm not sure that would have happened anywhere else.

My self-assigned job here means I read a LOT of posts, many of those about current events. And often that information is just... a bit too much.
Lately, I worry that being #trans will soon be illegal or just practically impossible. Either way, that's a death sentence.
So, yeah, dread now seems like the heavier ball.
I suppose the upside is that I'm not as concerned about the others.

The good news is that I recently made a strategic investment in paper towels.
Of course, in hindsight, it would've been much better if I'd remembered to drape one of those bastards over the plate before I started.
