  • I can’t speak for every trans person in the South, but for me, it’s pretty fucking awful.

    Part of it is my area(lot of old white conservatives). They really don’t give a fuck. I have had to listen to 10 minute rants about gender politics because they want a pink gender reveal cake.

    We did multiple cake variations for Valentine’s. All stick figures. We “dared” to put rainbows on a couple of them. We had to get rid of them because people complained about STICK FIGURES under rainbows.

    I have to make sure I’m in a safe place to even begin feeling like myself.









  • I think they both have their places.

    There’s something meditative about going through the actions of actually packing a bowl or rolling a joint. It’s methodical, let’s you get into a good headspace. It’s more a full body experience.

    Using a cart or even hitting a dab rig, you’re using more tech, there can be more of a convience to it, but you lose out on the time spent with yourself. You lose out on the ritual, the spirit of it. Sometimes it’s nice, but sometimes, nah, I want that nice practice, the ritual of preparation my way.
