So I work at a library and about a month ago I helped a little old woman who is legally blind figure out how to listen to our audiobooks on her tablet. We got to chatting and I mentioned that I always listen to audiobooks while I knit, which made her very excited and she told me all about the afghans she used to make when she could still see. She was so sweet and I was so glad to be able to help her figure out a way to still enjoy books without being able to read.
Yesterday I answered the phone at work and when I said my name the woman on the other line got so excited and said “Madeline?? You’re exactly who I wanted to talk to! This is Marie, you helped me about a month ago. How late are you working today?” It was her!! And about an hour later she and her husband showed up, and she was carrying a huge stack of old knitting patterns for me, and her husband brought in a few boxes full of yarn. They couldn’t stay long but I was so touched that she remembered me, and I struggled to not just flat out start crying when she handed me the patterns. When I looked through them later I realized it was her entire personal collection from over the years, including all her personal notes and drawings and even some photographs of her finished pieces. No one in my family knits, and to have someone pass on their legacy to me like that was incredibly moving.
This isn’t what I usually post here, but with life being especially dark lately I wanted to share a moment of happiness and a reminder that a bit of kindness goes a long way ♡

this reddit post is so good.
a trans guy who is also a butch who dates both men and women– I aspire to be like this. oh, to play 5d chess with gender.
[ID for image 1: A Reddit post that reads “Anyone “gay both ways?”” posted on “r/bisexual” from user “u/rrienn”. It is tagged as discussion. Text reads . “I used to know this he/they bi guy, who presented himself as a pretty androgynous trans dude. When he dated guys, he was a man getting with a gay man. When he dated women, it was like a lesbian relationship. He was comfortable and perceived as a dude in gay male spaces, and was equally comfortable and perceived as a butch in lesbian spaces. I think about this a lot. Dude was playing 5D chess with gender. Has anyone else encountered this? As someone who’s uncomfortable in hetero relationship dynamics and who strives for androgyny…I just think it’s neat.” end ID]
[ID for image 2: The “finally” scientist meme. A scientist wearing safety goggles and a lab coat holds up a test tube filled with green liquid. Text in all-caps reads: “Finally / The boyfriend who looked a girlfriend that I had in february of last year.” End ID]

A cis women told me she wouldn’t call me he/him because i ‘dont even try to pass’ (i do - i have a masculine hair cut, i dress in men’s clothes, and i bind. I just can’t change my voice and body. Not my fault i have d cups.) and when i told her she should pay for me to get on T if she wants me to look like a cis man so bad and she got mad at me… like girl you are the one who says i should pass to be respected so why don’t you help me pass.

“Izzy’s regret is never allowing himself to fall in love” well good thing he’s alive and well and can be gently pushed into an All Deck on Hands situation to fix that, huh?
(Just got out of an *incredibly* dull seminar, so have a set of Izzy doodles I made to entertain myself )
