In the last 24 hours, I posted the following to Twitter:

Thursday, 0023: I enjoyed a BRISK WALK in DOWNTOWN SAN FRANCISCO this evening, as FUCKING #SPRINT NAVIGATION cannot tell the 200 block of Howard St from 600
Thursday, 0030: I ... am amazingly uncomfortable with performative femininity above and beyond my usual standards. #epiphany
Thursday, 0033: I thought "I will perform gender if the fun things are over there" ...but no. I will perform masculinity if that's what's needed to play.
Thursday, 0034: I will perform femme for my own entertainment; I have long hair, wear skirts, lipstick.
Thursday, 0035: If it's said/implied that I need to be at least this femme to enter, and it's above my baseline, I dig my heels in & go *hella* butch.

Thursday, 0036: @mathsie A lot of gender roles are "do this thing, because this is what $your_sex does" -- like women wearing skirts & lipstick.
Thursday, 0040: I inhabit some mostly-male spaces with enjoyment and grace; I feel inherently unwelcome in deliberate non-bathroom female-only spaces.
Thursday, 0107: @mathsie It's often less imperative and more bullying when the required level of femme isn't met.
Thursday, 0108: @gameboyguy13 Google Maps is what got me there ... after I parked. Though am unsure how to make Google Maps function as satnav, if it does.
Thursday, 0111: @Back2Bethel Any female-only space has to be incredibly welcoming to butch and genderqueer women for me to feel OK there. Most don't succeed
Thursday, 0115: @Back2Bethel We sure were! Though we were all-girl by default, not intention: we didn't kick any men out or deny any men entrance.
Thursday, 0117: @mathsie I prefer hanging out with geeks, writers, and fans. The all-female #mythbuilders crew was/is amazing and all-geekfan.
Thursday, 0223: Have declared Mike's themesong for the Regrettable Wedding is Green Day's "21 Guns". Mike declines to comment, glares. #amplotting
Thursday, 0237: Now am getting STORYBOARDED FANVID. Except this is backstory, not main sequence, and there is no video source. (Head says watercolor stills)
Thursday, 0244: THERE IS A BAR BRAWL IN MY HEAD.
Thursday, 0428: http://filkertom-itom.blogspot.com/2008/03/sounds-familiar-sheep-marketing-ploy.html
Thursday, 0738: @marcelle42 Again, depends on the queer/feminist space. If it feels like if I told it some days I'd try Betan surgery they'd bounce me...
Thursday, 0742: @marcelle42 Er, do you read Bujold? If you don't: Beta Colony sets the Galactic standard in (expensive but) easy, effective reassignment.
Thursday, 0757: @marcelle42 Bujold is tasty space opera that's queer-friendly like TOS Star Trek is diverse and feminist.
Thursday, 1016: Got fruit, waiting for aunt http://dailybooth.com/u/3974j
Thursday, 1031: @semanticist try now?
Thursday, 1038: @semanticist Will poke when not on phone. Can you unfollow/try again?
Thursday, 1101: Feeling ow and therefore miserable. Suspect I will call off walk with aunt.
Thursday, 1105: Aunt still in farmers' market. I want to go home asap. Suspect woe and TMI will ensue and I want to be there before it does.
Thursday, 1136: Home. Woe and TMI.
Thursday, 1138: @the_wanlorn COCK!
Thursday, 1204: Let us hear it for ginger ale.
Thursday, 1732: Yay feeling almost human again.
Thursday, 1758: Via #dreamwidth (the channel, not the hashtag): http://manpacks.com/packages
Thursday, 1836: w00t! http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/06/penny-arcade-expo-fans-come-out-against-booth-babes.ars
Thursday, 1956: @gameboyguy13 Think of it as a cronjob. IN YOUR PANTS.
Thursday, 1959: @dianafox Break out the laptops! Most meetups of my usual IRC crowds winds up half audible, half typed. T walked into a room of people...
Thursday, 2002: @dianafox ...who saw each other once a year in person. 11 laptops, complete silence. He thought WTF, then one minute later there were 12.
Thursday, 2009: BART, new phone, happiness. I am still not entirely human, though. I may not actually talk tonight. Throat unhappy w/ today's extensive woe.
Thursday, 2029: Flowers. http://twitpic.com/1vpgva
