the beauty of nature is sooooo abundant. hope climate collapse doesn't end up happening.

this is so much better than Joker 2

clouds dancing and crimson, gold, and sage foliage swaying. lapping layers of hills of tree and rock.

our walk starts along a still river. no boats or swimmers to disturb the mottled mirror. i'm nestled along with it, a crevice between two hills.

pine needles, dry and dead, falling from above like a flurry. "autumns blizzard"

slipping between rocks to pee. i am afraid of being caught. do people really get put on the sex offender registry for this? i have been taking my HRT again, and i'm worried this relief might be made even more unsafe if i pass. i'm now shadowboxing transphobes and other trans people in my head.

none of that for now-- nature is so beautiful. i love nothing more than dusk twilight peeking between a blanket of clouds and a hilly horizon

genocides are ongoing and my taxpayer dollars are directly funding one of them. nothing i can do about that right now.

that was a beautiful stroll. i almost rolled my ankle on a rock, but that's the price of admission. time to go home.

the last light gives way to the moons more dramatic light. the way it dances with the clouds? it would bring me to my knees if it weren't for the fact i was in a car.

cars are bad but i appreciate how much better they smell. remember how cars used to reek of exhaust? in the 00s? it's better now, right?

i peak the crest of a hill. i'm above the canopy line again on my path home. i can see to the west, through the streaks and blots of clouds, the last bits of twilight.

the sky moves at a pace you can just barely observe, if you stop and spend the time to watch. but i am driving.

the stars were out last night. they're cloyed today. hello stars, i am back home.

that was relaxing. but now it is time to post

You picked up on my lamentations that I was in Car and not Train.
