As we've discussed, #MemorialDay in the #USA is a day of #remembrance of those who died while in active #military service.

I have #family and #friends who served, but they all walked #home with their papers. I personally don't know anyone who gave the ultimate #sacrifice.

So I open up this #thread to you. Do you have someone you #remember on this #HolidayWeekend? Tell us their story.

I'm thinking of starting my own #Calckey instance for my #family, and I am wondering what custom #emoji packs I should use. My instance will be a general purpose instance (that will comply to more strict rules, kind of like Mastodon.ART) for a small number of people (probably below thirty users, excluding an admin user and instance actors) FYI.

Although people may initially react to you speaking honesty, your honesty has the potential to raise the relationship to a whole new and healthier level.

When I changed the way I was by daring to speaking honestly to my mother, I could not have forseen or controlled my mother's reaction.

The relationship would grow, either that, or release me from the unhealthy and toxic relationship in my life, my mother.

She said, "Drop it", and so I have.

During the lockdowns I started working on family relationships, because I didn’t have anyone else. But there are only so many times you can speak up and try to educate them, before you realise that you can’t change their homophobic and transphobic default.

Of course, deep down I knew this, but they appeared to be trying to change and listen. Of course, once lockdowns were lifted and they could get back to their ‘normal’ I wasn’t important anymore, and they couldn’t be bothered.

#positive #trans #family things:

Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of my coming out, and really starting this show like my Captain just told me to engage at maximum warp. It's an extremely important day to me, a lot more than my actual birthday. But it's generally even less noticed than that.

Well. Can't blame anyone if I don't tell anyone, so I had a quick phone call with my mom (so far 1 of the only 2 supportive family members) that, hey, this day is pretty important to me, could we give this more importance next time?

And she just said "Sure, I remember that day had to be some time around now, I'll note it in my birthday calendar so I'll remember!"

So easy. So simple.

And for reference, my mom is in her mid sixties now. Age isn't the issue.
She preaches in church. She was happy and proud when I showed up to her 25th ordination anniversary, trans and pagan as I am, just as her daughter. Religion is not the issue.
She doesn't know much about being queer or trans or nonbinary. She'll run media by me to ask if it's reputable, and looks for ways to use inclusive language beyond a third, awkwardly tacked on box for all other genders. Not knowing is not the issue.

Photography. A black and white photograph of a group of people sitting on a train. On the right sits a blonde woman with white sweater, jeans and jacket on her lap, looking interestedly into her smartphone. The same goes for a dark-haired man in jeans and a dark jacket on the right of the picture. In the middle, a toddler in a baseball cap and striped stockings sits holding a daily newspaper. It looks interestedly into the newspaper, which it holds upside down. Two generations. Two problems. The photo is not posed, it was taken by chance.

My sister found this picture of us from the mid 90's and we can't get enough of it. The hair, the glasses, the eyebrows, the copious fabric -- we love it all.

Caught on film is our family's legendary side eye -- leveraged the most when surrounded by cis het patriarchal Baptist nonsense (as we were that night - we came home from being out and our father had some of his church guys over the house. I believe this was the night someone told me I'd want kids once I had them. Assssssssss.)

Even better is that I think my mom took this picture.

The GOP's anti-LGBTQIA+ stance and hostility caused three of my extended relatives to come out this year for moral support from the family.

All three are in red states. Two live in southern states.

I’ve been #TechSupport for my #Family for as long as I can remember. I’m sure many here can relate. Today a thing happened.

My mother-in-law was asking a couple setup questions on her #iPhone. Before I could answer, my teenage daughter jumped in and said ‘I’ve got this’ and had it handled.

Friends…let me tell you…I have never been so happy to pass a metaphorical baton in my life.

I feel like I should warn her about what she’s just done to herself…but she’s young…she’ll learn. #Parent #Kids

Thinking how dictators, like #Turkey’s #Erdogan, are like abusive parents — I recall I’d cringe when #Egypt’s Mubarak would refer to himself as ‘our father’.

Like abusive parents, they humiliate & oppress their ‘#children’ behind closed doors, shaking their confidence & gaslighting them, then put on a fake smile & share fake #news with the world that all is well & we are one big happy #family

Do not be deceived, listen👂

I don't like it at all when people apologize, say "that's so sad" or some variation, "she must have loved you", etc when I talk about how I'm estranged from my mother. The truth is, I'm glad I am! It's one of the best changes in my entire life that's ever happened, and I don't see things ever changing.

I want to counter the narrative a bit that estrangement from a family member is always this sad thing, because for me, it really was and is happy and good. There has been so much relief and improvements to my health with the estrangement, so much extra room in my life opened up to just live to my fullest extent ever since then, and I don't regret it at all.

The estrangement made me stronger, happier, healthier, better. Not broken, damaged, or someone always doomed to be messed up about it. I think it's time that as a society we broaden some of the narratives we have around estrangement

i used to think of codependency as "2 people who are dependent on each other way too much so that they become overly-enmeshed."

but once i learned about the term's origins in the world of substance addiction, it made more sense: in a family or relationship, the "dependent" is the one who is dependent on a given substance (aka "the addict", but can also be "the narcissist", etc.). the co-dependant is the significant other, or a parent, or some other family member, who is the main person dealing with the fallout of the addicted person, helping them, carrying them, taking their abuse, & whatever else.

in this short video, our ole pal patrick teahan talks about codependency as being about keeping the ship floating at all costs. and you know what, i love this description. it definitely describes my mom (who is the main co-dependent with my narcissist dad) and hopefully it will be a helpful framing for you as well.

A lot of #solarpunk ans social #scifi books are exploring non-nuclear #family models, whether through #polyamory , different kinds of found families, co-living etc.

What's your favorite vision of family in speculative fiction?

I really like the bash-es from Ada Palmer's #terraIgnota , which are strongly implied as start of the great social transformation in that world.

Ruthanna Emrys' #halfBuiltGarden puts a very global focus on family models, differences between humans other civilizations.

Sometimes you meet someone, and it's so clear that the two of you, on some level, belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you're in love or you're partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive.

Streetartwall. On an old beige street wall is sprayed / painted the charming mural of an Asian family. Painted in comic style and with yellow skin color stands in the middle a woman with red-yellow plaid dress and black hair bun. In her arms, she has a little boy in a blue romper suit. To her right stands a young man in jeans and plaid Shirt, hugging her and the child. His leg is embraced by a girl in a pink dress with a white collar. To the left of the mother stands another young man in brown pants and green t-shirt. He has a small dog in his arms. All are standing close together, in a happy atmosphere, looking at us.

OSGEMEOS are twin brothers based in Brazil. Influenced by hip hop culture and popular culture, the artist duo has established an exuberant and singular style inspired by their own imaginary universe called Tritrez.
The duo’s high-profile projects include painting a GOL Airlines plane in 2014, and the façade of the Tate Modern in London in 2008

I am thankful for living to see another Easter sunrise and I will use this day to help everyone I can.

#photography for today is my family.
