isunshoweri turned 25 earlier this week and weirdly, it was really good. i'm going to have to stop telling people that bad things happen on my birthday because the past couple have actually been pretty nice. i spent the weekend singing with my friends and a lot of people wished me well and that's all i'm going to say about that.
pithy title chosen to badly pander to two wildly distinct parts of the post strikes again. let's talk american teenager by nico lang, a journalism documentation of the lives of several trans kids in the US. very accessibly written and quick, and made me care about all the kids. was very clearly trying to show all aspects of life in an attempt to appeal to a hypothetical anti-trans audience but also used language that would only appeal to standard-issue democrats. not a bad thing, just an observation, i'm not totally sure what lang was trying to set out to do here. like, who are they trying to sway?
anyway, i hope all those kids are doing okay right now. scary fucking time.
