THREE TRANSMASCULINE ATHLETES MADE THE PODIUM AT IRONMAN, OCEANSIDE CALIFORNIA USA !! SO COOL!!

schuyler bailar (swimmer, he/him), chella man (cyclist, they/them) and cal calamia (runner, they/he) came third place in the men's section and they ran wearing the trans agenda (aka flag, colours and/or messages on their clothing)

huge win for them as athletes and a powerful sign that trans people belong in sports!! as someone who's gotten more into sports and seeing themselves as a sporty person within the last few years it's so encouraging to see these 3 smiling after a podium placement!! literally giddy with joy on their behalf

full article with their interview answers pre- and post-competition is here:

day 11/25 of productivity

im inching my way to 100 days of productivity but i cant go all in or ill get overwhelmed.

cleaned and cozied up my room today so please enjoy a pic of my bed, where i spend a lot of my time as a chronically ill and fatigued person. as a chronically ill person i often feel lime my days come out of order. today i woke up, had an appointment with my psychiatrist (for top surgery!!!! this was the last hoop i had to jump through!!!!!), got my phone fixed, and bought groceries. i got home around noon and ended up sleeping for 6 hours before waking back up and spending the evening tackling the rest of my to do list, mostly cleaning because ive been too busy to.

i try to not hold myself to abled standards and have instead been focusing on working within my own limits and some days that includes a midday six hour nap. i know my fatigue is going to be worse the next week and a half because for the next six days, every day i am either going to be doing my kitchen job pr instacarting to make up for lost time from my phone being broken, and will have possibly one day off before another stretch of working.

i hope you're all taking care of yourselves, however that looks for you <3

thursday // 02.20.2020

This is the first week of the Spring Quarter at my school. I start TA-ing for the first time for a class on Music and the Holocaust.

31st March: Do you like exercising? What have you been doing lately to take care of / maintain your health?

Ok I kind of fell off the wagon for this March Challenge but I figure I’ll at least do the last day.
