Wait a second here… I assume they licked the weird rocks to see if they were nummy first.

Numminess thus confirmed, they decided to add said numminess to otherwise bland food.

Queue Pixar graphics.

I hope it extends even later than 30s, or else I would have wasted my bust enhancement money for no good reason!

to be fair, that's how most pensioners just naturally go through life... severely judging everything (but themselves!)

Before transition - you look great!

After transition - you look great! But I'm also worried about your gorgeous top, I've had clothes ruined by cooking in front of a stove when doing sauteing / pan-frying... having a splashback or popping cooking oil on the clothes can be horrible. 😆

I mean… time-consuming, inconvenient interrupting gender affirmation is still time-consuming, inconvenient, and interrupting.

The FWIW is that I get stuff directed at my father and we’re not even the same name, so I _really_ feel for the volume you deal with.

This is also the logical conclusion for trans broken arm syndrome.

It’s so funny that I take such better care of myself now compared to before… like, the old dude would’ve had a ton of stuff on the list. I, on the other hand, have pristine health markers for being on the downhill of my 40s.

Here I actually thought you mean "more active Bean".

And yeah, it's not easy to have to dial back the exercising during recovery. It always felt to me like there's so much energy to be harnessed and utilized, but no outlet to plug it into!

I mean… definitely not my best pic, but there’s absolutely forces at play that will almost certainly result in me posting more selfies.

So here’s a preview!

Is this because every trans woman knows practically every other trans woman (like "hey, you know Gord from Canada?", instead it's "hey, I know Luna from Seattle too!") and therefore this just boils down to we all have that one friend with the killer Hank Hill?

In other words, allow yourself to be as open and as teachable as a child, especially in the context of understanding who you are and where you can go... and believe in your potential.

I needed to reply to say that this comic is fantastic and it gave me a smile on an otherwise shit Monday.

"they're running a special on transmission fluid..."

What else are you going to do? Sleep?

(I managed to a couple times, at least, but it was definitely dependent on _where_ the electrologist was currently treating.)

I mean... I feel this more than a bit. I know that I've been the "rah-rah cheerleader" one day and the "what the hell's the point?" the next day too.

I guess this has been one of the most fascinating things about both my newfound "feeling of emotions" bullshit... and also about the community.

Hey, I get to drag this out again! And I get to realize that it's only gotten worse instead of better. Huh. Wonder why. Couldn't be because of takes like this.

As promised. Between just being out of recovery, haven’t run in a bit, and fighting the last bits of a cold… put together a 44 minute 5km “run”.

I look forward to better times. In the many ways this can be construed.

Someone finally got cleared to get physical. And there's finally a +50°F day today, so someone's going to be running soon...

So hopefully after my run you'll get a sweaty Serena picture, because someone has a lot of reasons to get sweating and to find some mental relief.

I'm rooting for you! Bottom surgery was something that I had a lot of emotions about and in trans company, I'll discuss how it is very much a thing that is still good but at the same time complicated...

...but, *good* overall in my experience and I hope that all trans gals who need it can get it.

The good news would be that the courts would invalidate the law and there's absolutely a chance that the Supreme Court wouldn't take up an appeal that may overturn the law.

The possible bad would be a Supreme Court decision against this... but that's something we build support against and run with.

I hope that I was a reasonable stopgap measure. 😅😅❤️

Honestly, being careful with the supply (and a few well-placed “stories”) has allowed me to get enough of a stockpile to weather some not-great situations… especially with where trans care is now moving towards too.

Oh? I’m unsure if I’ve ever not used a full vial, for me @0.2mL doses it’s about 24 draws, times 5 days in between == 120 days. (And that’s if I’m a good responsible girl who never misses a dose? 😅😅)

I know it has an “expiration date”, but… I’ve never cared about that in almost six years.

One (1) attention as requested! 🫡

I hope that your weekend has better outcomes.

I am here for the High Femme Katelyn arc.

Next week, promise. I’m almost done with recovery protocol… I’m dreaming of a glorious glowup in a few days’ time.

Oh my goddess, is _that_ why hormones have been so uneven and wonky when I'm attempted to install a new shell? Damn, did I end up with Debian or something?

I agree, and I've been really unhappy lately because I've been on gym restriction from surgery I had a month ago... I'm hoping to be lifted (ha!) from restriction by next week, and I'll be so excited to get back to work!

(surgery that works on core is definitely a process.)

Obama’s bow in Japan sparks some criticism Some American conservative commentators are seizing on President Barack Obama's deep bow to Japan's emperor during the weekend, accusing him of groveling to a foreign leader.

I remember when we were told that Americans shouldn't bow to _anything_.

Thank you Aesthr! ♥️

There’s a reason trans women used to be revered as seeresses.

I mean, I'd actually very much want this depending on where exactly they grow in.
