My name is Maxie (she/they), and I am a non-binary transgender woman. I love playing retro games (mostly an unhealthy relationship with Namco arcade classics), reading comics and prose, jamming out to Dead & Co, DMB and Phish, restoring now-vintage Apple iBooks, and talking about my experience as a trans person in this current cultural moment. I am also a certified English educator, and a proud graduate of University of Cincinnati (B.A.) and Kent State University (M.A.T.)!
I started this blog nearly 15 years ago now as a place to house all of my writing. Since that time, I have been busy furthering my education, traveling around the world, finding love, and most importantly, coming back to myself.
In light of the Trump Administration's heinous attacks on our community, I felt it was the right time, in 2025, to return to writing and to use my blog as a place to document my experience as a transgender woman. I hope that my words will be help to humanize the trans community in a meaningful way. I also hope to use this space as a place to absolutely geek out about classic arcade games and the occasional vintage restoration project I'm working on.
I am so excited to share my life with you!
<3,
Maxie
