I can barely remember what I'm thinking let alone other folks 😅 my allergies have been kicking my ass for most of the last couple days and brain no worky well when you can't really breath properly. Starting to feel better this afternoon
Weirdly one of the benefits of larger cities (or so I've heard) is things being open later, but that may have changed from covid.
How are you feeling about not being in oklahoma? Obviously everything else about this is going to be extremely stressful, but having a bit of space to not keep your eyes over your shoulder (or on ear open from headphones) can feel... different.
I moved out (under good circumstances) a little over 3 years ago and I'm only starting to actually keep both sides of headphones/earbuds on my head in the past few months, I think the some of the hyper-awareness is permanent tho (like keeping my back in corners, having an exit in sight, etc)
Hm, not being in Oklahoma... Not really caring much. More-local stuff has been taking up all' my mind-space so I'm not feeling much about larger-scale stuff. Maybe that'll come. Doesn't really feel a whole lot different but I haven't really been anywhere. I think I'd see a bit less variety in accents and skin colours in OK, and probably have met someone grossed out seeing me.
Oh, on that note I'm declaring vendetta against Denver's airport. It's one big, horrible line and I had to walk the entire thing (minus several linear-escalator-thing trips) and people were staring at me the entire time. Screw that place! Down with DEN! Boooooo! 👻!
Actually I'm more afraid of here than of Tulsa. Never rode a bus there. Don't think they have light rail. ... Full of smokers. 😡 Guess I kinda stayed to wherever I was and wherever I was going? 🤷 Also the place just feels less big and scary, even downtown with the towers 😅
I actually kinda hesitate to consider myself a proper trans-refugee because I didn't really have that bad there. Problems were "family" and my own broken mental state. A handful of mean looks over a decade just isn't what most trans people suffer that makes others wanna run, I think 🤷 Not that I want to deal with that. If I had to live in DEN I'd be living with the TSA real quick 😅
