I wrote a really pissy post about being disappointed in Americans, but it went into the void and I had trouble logging in and had to fix some errors with the hosting service so it’s gone. Maybe for the best, I’m not sure they need an anti-pep talk right now.

I’m heading to Lisbon tomorrow to show Dreams of Sunlight Through Trees at the Queer Lisboa festival. It’s screening in the Trans Shorts program at 6pm, in Cinema São Jorge. So if you happen to be in Lisbon please come see it! I will be there to have a conversation afterwards.

I’m doing ok, in a bit of a crunch money wise as I still haven’t heard about my travel grant (which always happens) so if you have some cash to donate to a poor trans artist you can paypal or etransfer me at tjcuthand@gmail.com. I have already paid for my plane ticket and lodging, but I still need money to eat and also to use transit in Lisbon. So anything helps!

I’m tired of being poor. After this trip I should know if I got my grants and if not I will be trying to get some editing jobs. But clearly I can’t work this week because I am already working by going on this work trip.

I’m also reading research my research assistants have been gathering for me on the trans climate migrant doc series. So that’s been good.

Today is not super exciting, I have to clean my apartment for my dog sitter who is staying with the pups, it isn’t very dirty though it just needs a pick up sweep and a floor wash.

My stove lost electrical power and I had no idea how to fix it and sent in a work order. But then I realized I could reset the fuse in the electrical plug which is attached to the same circuit as the stove plug ALSO and now it’s fixed. I was really sad though like ha ha oh no I can’t use the stove and I need it fixed for my sitter! But it’s fine it’s fine!

I have to do some laundry today too.

Anyway wish me luck on my travels!
