Another week over, another year older
Added 2025-06-20 16:11:16 +0000 UTCI think it was around the time I turned 30 I stopped mentioning my age online. Existing within such a youth-obsessed culture, I think I became embarrassed about it? If someone looked me up online they could easily figure it out, but I wanted it to be a little ambiguous. Also maybe add a dash of feeling like I lost most of my early 30s to the beginning years of the pandemic? Lost a few years to that memory hole.
Anyway, 37 is still quite young and I'm glad I've gotten to exist as a version of myself more in line with my gender for the past 9+ years. Looking forward to so many more.
Despite the ongoing political strife in this country and in my city, I managed to have a nice lil birthday. I'd been completely crashed out due to a breakup last year and I'm so grateful for how far I've come since then. I love my friends.
Also! Saw a fantastic backyard queer/trans folk punk show. I know it says it in the comic, but I'm so happy to know these types of all-ages community spaces can exist in LA of all places. I look forward to finding more of them. :)
See y'all next week!

Happy belated Birthday! Lol, my kid turned 3 the day before your bday, and I'm 38 in August! (can't make that Holy Grail reference much longer...) My 30's have been my most stressful and most enjoyable years so far! I could list my life story here, but at least wanted to share again that finding your comics to help reassure me and share with friends really helped process things, and I've been happily myself for almost 4 years and going strong with hot girl energy too 😘 You're an incredible person, Julia 💜
