I think one of the more terrifying things about this is that we then have to just trust that their summary is true and unbiased.

It's getting close to spring time so now I can finally wear my good clothes again. Super excited. My hair's also grown back enough to look normal.

Not sure if the hair is HRT or not. But it doesn't matter.

I'm kinda thinking about my 2025 goals.
1. Be kinder to myself - don't agree to things that cause immense stress.
2. Bike more, bike with others more.
3. Contribute more to things that bring others joy.
4. Keep on transitioning, do what I can to make myself happy with how I'm perceived.

Another "fun" thing I've encountered is having someone who *could* have diagnosed me just... Not, because they didn't believe in it, to my knowledge. I got an official dx in HS after being treated as such by my school since we first thought I was diagnosed.

I feel kinda mixed about self diagnosis. On the one hand, it does *potentially* allow for people who are not ND to take away treatment, or "dilute" experiences. But on the other? Getting an actual diagnosis is difficult, even if really ND. And self-ID takes away stigma from seeking out info.

I've gotten 173 in the past. This is a bit higher than normal. Some of the questions are worded confusingly, though.

Today was sorta kinda productive. I finally installed the flag to cover my window, and dug deep into research about DIY floating docks.

A silver PSP 1000 with blue bottom row buttons. The Sony logo is partially worn, looking like S NY instead. It is playing the track Still Pimpin' by Tommy Wright III, from the album Runnin-N-Gunnin, with the trippy rainbow plasma visualizer being shown. There's a loose micro SD card above the PSP, the lid to a USB adapter, a USB cable plugged in, and a micro SD to SD adapter.

My ipod no longer works, so I've decided to convert my PSP to my music player. I just bought 2 new batteries and a few MS to SD adapters, and am transcoding all of my music from FLAC to mp3 for play on the PSP. I think this will be fun. I've already IPS modded it, and put in a glass lens.

HRT Update: Not much has changed that I can notice except my scent, other than my skin feeling a little different.

A shitload of conservative accounts are flooding bluesky because they have no one to argue with on twitter.

Block them and move on. Do not engage. Simply wait for the inevitable thinkpiece where they are qouter whining that no one will argue with them and that makes them sad.

I’m worried that kids today are growing up without a video game series that teaches them 13 or 15 similar sounding skate punk songs

Same, I've become very careful about lists now.

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.

"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Good night everybody

A block list of people who imported tweets might be worthwhile. I kinda think it's pretty disrespectful.

To all the incoming new Bsky users:

Yes, we have a block button.
Yes, it works.
Yes, it works completely, like scorched-earth completely.
Yes, we use it all the time and we like it that way.
Yes, it can help make your online world here a better place.
Yes, things can be better.

Hey. I need you to know that if you voted for Trump, I do not wish to have anything to do with you. I do not want your support, your commissions, your money, your likes and reposts or comments. Yes I will absolutely break up with friends over politics and then make better friends.

Oh yeah, one more thing.

If you voted for the orange guy?

Unfollow me. Block me, even. Never interact with me again, anywhere, in any capacity! I don't know you, I don't want to know you. :)

I've honestly been pretty confrontational when interacting with people spouting those types of nonsense. It kinda feels like a net negative form of activism, and close to a declaration that one wishes harm upon me and many of my friends.

A spiral staircase taken looking straight down. The hole in the center is taken up by a plant hanging from the bannister. The stair floor is black, and a grippy texture, while the walls are white with red bottom trim. The floor at the top is wood.

Took from my housing coop. I just think it's fun and looks good.

Nobody told me that starting Estrogen would make me want to dance again. That's pretty neat!

So far - definitely trying to develop a sense of style, and building up my wardrobe.
Buying underwear was scary, too.

I'm not 100% certain, but I think yours is also a later one than the one I had. If you try to repair it, be *very* careful - the frame counter is terrible to reinstall, and there's some super tiny grub screws for adjusting the rangefinder. But the mechanism is pretty simple.

Ope, noticed last night that I smell a little different. I think the gril pills are working, if I'm getting girlsmell? Other stuff possibly, too, but I'm not gonna discuss those.

I'll... Definitely be talking to her once I have my follow up.

Not yet. According my dr, estrogen can have a similar effect.

Oh, also, my doctor and the IC sheet created by the gender clinic stated that higher levels don't necessarily coincide with more feminization over time.

Wait, is that gatekeeping? I said I wanted something more between male and female hormone levels, but now I kinda think going mostly towards fem is what I should do.
