Thank you!

Thank you, but I will temper that with it was only the first term of the certificate program I need to get into the diploma I want.
I'm happy I did it once, 2 more to go! 😁

The dude has a black hole on his bridge!

That's a quest cat, if I've ever saw one!

I got a 4.24 GPA in my first term of my pre-interpreter program.

As a girl who never saw herself graduating college, I think it's a pretty good first step. 😁

Yes, but I'm not going to tell you how long I was on this planet before I figured that one out...😬

One of these crows is not like the other!

JFC, I've been watching Youtube for an hour today, (3 vids, 20mins apiece) and I've seen 3 ad's by "Canada Mental Health" with visibly queer people asking "If you're considering SUICIDE... call this number"

Why the f did this get cleared?

WTAF!!???

😡😡😡

Like, hasn't anyone in 'Murica read "Titus Andronicus"?

The best genre you never heard of youtu.be/UDViLupsBGg?...

For sure!

Whelp! It looks like I offended a transphobe hard enough to get suspended from the other site. 🤷‍♀️ Oops!

I guess I should try and do... something over here though. I have been totally neglecting my presence here!

Ugg!
3weeks ago my Dr. & I decided to scale back on my T-blockers (by 50% was on 200mg now on 100mg/day). I was completely suppressing my T and we want to see how much of that is blocker or estro.

I now smell like a boy again and I do not like it!🤬

Things I like in my TTRPG's:

1) Rolling Dice (More clackity-clack = fun)

b) Strange fantasy pets

iii) Ridiculous, melodramatic, over-the-top villains!

Any suggestions?

So…. I just get to look like this now?

We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.

We work with being,
but non-being is what we use.

Lao Tzu, from the "Tao Te Ching,"
as translated by Stephen Mitchell

Daily Tao:

11 ~

We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the centre hole
that makes the wagon move.

We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.

Daily Tao:

4 -

The Tao is like a well:
used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void:
Filled with infinite possibilities.

It is hidden but always present.
I don't know who gave birth to it.
It is older than God.

~Lao Tzu, "Tao Te Ching"
Translated by Stephen Mitchell

Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you.
and when death comes, you are ready.

~Lao Tzu, from the "Tao Te Ching"
Translated by Stephen Mitchell

If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kind-hearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
↓↓↓↓↓

{Trying to be} Daily Tao:

16~
Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return.

Each separate being in the Universe
returns to the common source.
Returning to the source is serenity.
↓↓↓↓↓

It's not quite so bad when you remember that the rest of Canada with have to deal with snow here pretty quick! 😆

Today’s fit:

Do you think anyone will know I’m queer?

Yet mystery and manifestations
Arise from the same source.
This source is called Darkness.

Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding.

~Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Translated by Stephen Mitchell

Daily Tao:

1

The tao that can be told
Is not the eternal Tao.
The name that cannot be named
Is not the eternal Name.

The unnameable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
Of all particular things.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations ➡️

Omg! Such a good turn out to stand up against hate!
