    The Earth’s orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, and therefore the Earth speeds up or slows down depending on where on its orbit it is at the time. In turn this means that the duration of the solar day fluctuates from day to day, from a bit under 24h to a bit over 24h and back.

    So if you take a picture every 24h precisely the sun will appear to move horizontally a little bit on top of the expected vertical movement.





  • All labels are imperfect, I guess. That’s the nature of labels: a shorthand for a complex reality.

    I don’t know if the “trans” label is or isn’t a good shorthand for the complex reality of your identity. But the important thing is: your identity is valid and yours, regardless of what labels you stick on it.

    If you feel that you are a woman, be that partially or completely, then congratulations, girl, there you go. Or maybe what you feel like switches back and forth depending on your mood, or maybe you exist somewhere in the middle. That’s valid too. There are other labels worth exploring in that space, non-binary, genderfluid… I suppose the only really useful thing here is to work out which ones resonate with you as a suitable shorthand for who you are.

    Oh and who you are attracted to is irrelevant. Lots of trans gals are lesbians. Doesn’t make them any less trans.
