[cw for Christmas, being trans/closeted around family]

so, Christmas happened! As it usually does around this time of year. I spent it with my dad's side of the family, which is also the side of the family where some people still don't know I'm trans and hence I still go by deadname. On the bright side, the unaware part of my family overlaps with the hard-of-hearing part and my sisters mostly used my real name without anyone noticing that shouldn't have.

Around Christmas started the worst part of summer. Heat reliably tanks my mood, trying to compensate for that. I should probably not have procrastinated on fixing my AC...

Also, my apartment doesn't have water right now. fun.
