A bathroom mirror selfie of Riley. He's wearing a magenta cut-off tank top with the word "TRANSTIFA" on it. His face is beet red, his hair is slicked back with sweat, and he is sweating through most of the t-shirt.
A pair of tabby cats (one an orange female named Georgia, the other a grey male named Auggie) lying on different sections of a cat tree. They're reaching out to one another, an echo to the painting "The Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo.
A screencap of the Nintendo Switch game Tomodachi Living the Dream. Two characters (the drag personas of the Game Grumps) are on the screen, blushing. At the top it says, "Sweethearts for 1 day"
A quote from Tim Balk about the closing of Iowa's primary election, on June 2, 2026. The text reads: As polls closed in Iowa, the campaign of Josh Turek, a moderate Democrat running for U.S. Senate, responded to a claim by Ashley Hinson, the Republican candidate, earlier in the day that he was "extreme on gender ideology" and supported "illegals over Americans." Hannah Goss, a spokeswoman for Turek, said in a statement that he "does not believe males should be playing female sports" and that he supports "bipartisan legislation to address immigration."
A screenshot of the Great Value brand whole milk on the Walmart app on March 12, 2026. It's listed at the price $2.50
Context: Seven years ago, I commented on a local news article about the Gillette commercial about a trans man being taught how to shave by his dad. Becky then replied to my comment with this. The comment reads: "Transgender people are bullies who get turned on by being bad. Period. They believe everything evil is hot or they wouldn't do that."
A comment from Steven Owen on Facebook. It's in all caps and reads: "OMAR MATEEN DIED A ABSOLUTE HERO FOR THIS COUNTRY!!!! HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN . PROTECT OUR YOUTH" Context: Omar Mateen was the mass shooter who killed 49 people and wounded 58 others in the Pulse shooting in Florida in June 2016.
OP is a transmasc, hairy, white, and fat individual with glasses and short black hair/beard. He's wearing a knitted short-sleeved cardigan over a black tank top with striped black & white high waisted pants.
A feminine person (Chelsey Petersen) painting in a timed art competition (Art Battle Omaha).
The front page of a Baptist pamphlet left on my car while I was at the parade. It reads: "HEAVEN'S CHECKLIST TO DO [all items below are checked off] - Do good things - Be baptized - Go to church - Keep the Ten Commandments - Love others - Give to charity - Receive communion - Say prayers - Read the Bible"
A friend texted me today (May 4th, which is also Star Wars Day), "May the fourth be with you!" And I responded, "And also with you!" (Which is actually what we used to say during our early 2000s Catholic mass in response to the priest saying, "Peace be with you.")
A chubby greyish/brownish tabby cat with a little white & pink spot on his nose and light green eyes. His name is Auggie and he's a menace.
A series of tweets by Za Bunni @its320am. They read: "Sure I can do casual" "I'm jk I can do casual:)" "Tbh I can't do casual" "I can definitely do casual" "I was lying I can't do casual"
Super Sonic says: "new rule: never trust how you feel about your life past 9pm"
A lamp, sitting on a chair. The lampshade is old, suede, and brown. In its old state, it was painted a dark, tarnished gold for the base and bronze-ish on the ram's heads. Oh, yeah, also there are ram's heads all over it. In fact, the bottom base of the lamp has hooves to hold it up.
A shared Facebook post by OP. It's a frog muppet holding a sign that says, "Let's Make It EARTH DAY EVERY DAY!" The added caption (seemingly by the OP) says "Just soaking up all the good vibes." In reality, this caption was added BY FACEBOOK, AFTER the post had already been shared, generated by Meta's AI.
A question on an Indeed job application that reads: "Name three retailers you look up to or admire. What does each one do best?"
A tall sculpture in the shape of a giant syringe and needle, made of paper mache but unpainted. It's standing on its bottom plunger.
The cardboard and bare sculpture of the syringe, sitting on top of a recliner chair. It is very long, and each joining piece is covered in blue painter's tape.
A screenshot of a shitty transphobic tweet by Richard Dawkins back on April 10, 2021. It reads: "In 2015, Rachel Dolezal, a white chapter president of NAACP, was vilified for identifying as Black. Some men choose to identify as women, and some women choose to identify as men. You will be vilified if you deny that they literally are what they..." The quote tweet above it (likely by @ranting_trans on Twitter, a really cool trans lady I used to follow), posted the very next day, says: "In 2010 most of my penis was incinerated at a Thai hospital, aerosolizing it into the atmosphere as carbon particles and disbanding throughout the world - particles which have almost certainly been inhaled by Richard Dawkins, making him Dick Dawkins the Dick Breather." Captioned above both tweets is large red text (added by me back in 2021) that says "FUCKIN GOTTEM".
An offer on the Verizon app. It clearly says, "Upgrade now and leave your old balance behind! Terms apply."
A selfie of Riley. He's a fat, hairy, white transmasc with dark short hair, a beard, and glasses. He's wearing a black button-down shirt with abstractly-patterned grey and black shorts. He's got both his hands in the air making the devil horns "rock-on!" sign with both hands.
A black and white illustrated self-portrait of the upper half of Riley, on a trans flag background. He's wearing a dark surgical binder and has a couple of drains attached to just under the binder in both sides. His tummy is big and cute, though not as hairy as it used to be (because they buzzed my WHOLE TUMMY BEFORE SURGERY CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??).
Four photos of Riley as a young child with the words "still nonbinary" affixed over them
Two selfies combined into one. The top half is an old selfie of Riley from a decade ago, pre-T. He has short reddish hair with a shaved side, metal framed glasses,extremely pale skin, and barely any body hair. The bottom half is a selfie of his sleeveless, tight crop top, which is white with black stylized lines all over it. His chest is very large.
A stylized countdown that says "6 Days To Top Surgery" with a sunset in the background.
News headline: "Idaho Republicans pass bill making it a felony for transgender people to use public bathrooms"
A list of emails from Disney+. All but one of them threaten "your subscription will soon be cancelled" in the subject, while the most recent one finally says, "Your subscription has been cancelled."
A photo of Riley. He's a white, fat, hairy trans guy with glasses, a reddish brown beard, and black hair with a receding hairline. He's wearing a purple tight neckline sleeveless top under a black spaghetti-strap tank top with buttons and holes in it, and black baggy jeans that are unbuttoned but still zipped. He's staring at the camera with a zoned out look.
A selfie of Riley. He's white and fat with short brown hair, a reddish brown beard/mustache combo, and blue eyes with his tortoiseshell glasses on top of his forehead. He's wearing a mustard yellow turtleneck sweater with a long necklace chain over it. He's smiling.
A prescription for a pack of 50 test strips for a glucose monitor, priced as $74.98 without insurance
My Animal Crossing: New Horizons in-game passport. My character's photo here has a pink spiky mohawk, purple glasses, and a black shirt. They're smiling and throwing confetti.
A screenshot of the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Riley's villager character is standing in a little flower field surrounding a brick well. He has a pink spiky mohawk and glasses, and is wearing a black sleeveless bodycon dress on and tennis shoes. He is also bowing to a garden gnome with sunglasses.
A photo of my sweet orange medium-hair kitty, Georgia. She looks very chumby but half of it is fur fluff. She's lying on her side on the couch, her eyes peacefully closed as she sleeps.
A video of Riley going through the finished pages and covers of his junk journal, playing at 5X speed. Some of it is endearing and sweet, while some of it is weird to be seen plastered on a notebook page. None of it is aesthetically pleasing, but all of it is Riley.
An old photo of Riley from March 2013, pre-transition. He was white, plus size, and very fem-passing, with blue eyes, rosy freckled cheeks, and thin-framed glasses. His brown hair was grown past his shoulders with blond highlights, and he wore a black knee-length dress with a light teal lacy, see-through short-sleeved shirt over it. He's standing on a stage with a spotlight on him, holding a microphone with both hands and singing as he gazes off into the audience.
Seven emails from Disney+, spanning from January 21st to today (February 10th). Each one has the same subject: "Your subscription will soon be cancelled."
My Finch bird (named Jack), joyfully throwing his little arm into the air, saying, "Now I'm just the right size for the tea party! Does eating shrooms always make you feel better, cheep?" (Context: this month's Finch event is an Alice in Wonderland theme)
A selfie of Riley. He's white, fat, and bearded. He's wearing glasses, a brown slouchy beanie, dark grey denim overalls, and a bluish-grey sweater with a black buttoned shirt collar peeking out from under the sweater. He's propping his head up in his hand and looks kind of bored.
A meme of Squidward getting dragged to hell by Spongebob and Patrick. Squidward almost has a zen expression, like, "well, things can't get worse than hell I guess"
A selfie of Riley. He's white, fat, bearded, and hairy. He's wearing a brown slouchy beanie, a black spaghetti-strap velvet dress over a brown plaid button-down shirt, and tortoiseshell glasses. He's smiling at the camera.
that meme of spongebob naked and hiding behind a big piece of coral, edited so that he has a lot of tears welling up in his eyes
A screenshot of the app Finch. There are two birds on the screen, and they are both too big to fully fit in the frame. (Context: the first challenge for this month required drinking a mysterious potion that ended up making your bird grow exponentially, just like in Alice in Wonderland.)
A four-panel comic of a black and white bird with a red spot on its head (possibly a downy woodpecker?), drawn by falseknees on tumblr. Each panel has a speech bubble, implying the bird is speaking... as it simply misspells/mispronounces February over and over again. Panel 1: "Ahh... febuary" Panel 2: "febrary" Panel 3: "Febberary..." Panel 4: "Frebrury"
This is Auggie! He is a grey (brown?) tabby cat with green eyes. In this photo, his big long front legs are stretched out across a yellow blanket as he lounges. (Don't yell at me for the lack of sheets on the bed, I was doing laundry.)
A screenshot of the Finch app, a self-care app that helps you manage chores/tasks while also helping your pet bird explore the world. My friend's bird, named Nemo, has two notifications of progress on their page: 1) "NEMO disocvered Where is everybody?" 3 months ago 2) "NEMO discovered Entering the Maze" 3 months ago
An edited selfie of Riley. He's wearing a yellow cardigan over a dark pair of overalls. He's fat, white (very pink in this particular photo), and has shaggy green hair that's shaved low on the sides. The text above him reads, "Riley's getting tol surgery! amazon wishlist for post-op recovery is in his linktree in bio!"
A black and white selfie of Riley pre-transition. They have a short undercut haircut, are wearing a sweater, and have noticeable lipstick on.
