I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they’ll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here’s one for each day of the next week.
Monday
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block
Tuesday
Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks
Wednesday
Fred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread
Thursday
A blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?
Friday
The great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes
Saturday
If you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully
Sunday
Luke’s duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke’s duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes

Misgendering, drama in LGBT spaces (not super heavy though).
Went to the local gay/LGBT bar last night for a bit. My gf wore a skirt and tights going out, which was their first time doing that at the bar. She had worn a skirt to work before, but this was the first time doing it in “public” I supposed. Overall, it was pretty chill. The bar itself is kinda lame (the drinks suck), but there were friends there so was fun to hang out and connect. Sunday is their drag open stage, so that was also fun, although there was a bit of drama. Apparently, one of the drag kings is a conservative, and heard that they were being bad-mouthed for being a conservative and confronted my trans masc friend there (also the drag king is friends with the trans masc’s mom who he still lives with, so yeah). I chatted a bit with one of my other trans masc friends whose style I am so jealous of, but he was pretty impressed that I did leatherwork (my gf showed off their spiked collar I made for them), so I hope the feeling is mutual. I can’t wait to finish up some pieces this week and get longer laces for my knee-highs so I can debut a killer outfit next weekend.
A negative thing that happened, was my gf did get misgendered by the bartender incidentally, and I feel guilty since I kinda forgot to check in with them about it. I think that it was corrected/resolved, but I need to reach out and make sure they’re okay.
