That dysphoria of seeing yourself on the edge of a pic taken with a wide angle lens

Hennepin is amazing now and Lyndale is still terrifying to be on without two tons of steel surrounding you

Progesterone definitely helped my breast growth but I think I must be one of those people whose body converts some of it to testosterone because my body hair gets thicker when I’m on it. It also reversed my ability to take a lower Adderall dose that I gained when I started HRT.

If you want to save energy and have your clothes last longer get a drying rack and/or clothes line and don’t put them in the dryer. It’s probably the most inefficient machine in your home while being one of the main causes your clothing to become fast fashion.

I’ve come to the conclusion that whenever someone says “be so for real right now” it means that you should do/think the exact opposite of whatever bad take they are giving.

Ok that was fun, back to deactivated

I think it’s irresponsible for journalists to discuss cancel culture with the assumption that every attempt at cancellation has a solid material impact that results in the person being “canceled”.

When I am president all media will have trigger warnings for heterosexuality in big red letters followed by the "🤮" emoji

ai descriptions on posts that explain the joke in the blandest manner possible are so obnoxious

Wow, these BD Luer-Lok syringes the mail order pharmacy is giving me are much nicer than the Easy Touch ones Walgreens gave me.

one of the worst developments on the internet is people needing to post in reddit every time they receive a defective product instead of just returning it

I love being a transsexual woman. I wouldn't choose to be different, and I wouldn't even choose to be born a cis woman if I could. I like being what I am. Me. A trans woman and a lesbian. It's the rest of society that needs fixing.

I’d be more interested in being active in the DFL if they didn’t have a TERF caucus.

I wonder how many times of oral progesterone causing my body hair to come in thicker it will take for me to stop being lazy and taking it by that route from time to time.

Is AI the first tech to start off in the enshittification phase?

First time nicking a capillary or vessel during my e injection. Amount of blood kind of scared me even though I know it’s almost certainly not a big deal.

I feel kind of like I’m in a Kate Chopin story but the conflicted joy is coming from getting laid off instead of thinking my husband is dead.

For the Star Tribune, it's always city council's fault.

Finally got hit by tech layoffs. Time to evaluate my next steps I guess

“i was merely being transphobic, i wasn’t weaponizing it” is certainly a take

Chiming in on the Dr. discourse. I’ve been pretty fortunate with my doctors but it’s largely because i do the research for myself, tell them what i want and am lucky they are willing to just go along with it. I am scared though of what will happen for emergency procedures.

Psyop doesn’t mean marketed by bots

If only there was something I could do with all these e tablets I have leftover from before I started injections that expire in August...

Google chat on a Mac not having “minimize to taskbar on close” is infuriating. I know I should just hit the minimize button but every chat program I‘ve used back to the 90s had this feature to avoid accidental closure. I can’t just unlearn 30 years of habit that easy.

Me: “I’m going to write a wholesome sapphic romance with medium spice” Also me: writes pet play into the first spicy scene

i sometimes hate missing out on books that are amazon exclusives but i just can’t bring myself to order from them these days. self publish exclusivity should be regulated out of existence.

Ah yes, Nixon who was famously never linked to the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction

Not to read too much into a single election but I really hope the Hungary results indicate a shift in the tides against the European right that has been expanding this past decade.

I know we’re all supposed to whine about the demise of uptown but I kind of like sleepy uptown. I don’t really want it to be a busy bar district combined with an outdoor/indoor shopping mall again.

Is it too weird to have sex scenes with characters who won’t end up together in a queer romance? It would be fine for a serialized story, but in a single book it seems more like something that just isn’t really done. I kind of want some more spice up front than this narrative would allow otherwise.

Why writing off everyone who doesn’t perfectly align with your politics is a losing strategy. Few people have politics that align perfectly to a specific framework/platform and most people can be swayed in one way or another. We need them swayed to our side and that is done through joint struggle.

I think one of the appeals of fantasy romance is that it doesnt end the moment the couple gets together. There’s usually at least a big epic battle/rest of a heroes journey left so you actually get to see the couple be a couple without getting bored that nothing‘s happening.

After how much time I’ve spent shuffling between the dr, the dentist, and the physical therapist the past few weeks I better be healthy for a while.

I refuse to stop using this site like it’s 2016 and we just share our random thoughts and observations. Tired of the weirdly serious yet irony pilled internet

remember when some asshole made up game theory and everyone just went along as if it was a totally legitimate framework?

The latest Dorley chapter made me ugly cry in the bathtub. Thanks a lot @badambulist.bsky.social

so close to being able to rinse my mouth out again after having my tooth removed. 24 hours with no rinsing or brushing is so nasty

I’m so glad I’ve already blocked the majority of people y’all dunk on

Feels like years since I went to a Walgreens where the pharmacy was adequately staffed.

Just got this new fountain pen ink, Platinum Citrus Black, for my yellow Lamy Safari and it’s awesome to have a yellow that is actually legible without perfect lighting.

Higher ed isn't "out of touch" because it's not career-training-focused enough. Higher ed is out of touch because most faculty and administrators are from multi-generational academic families and received elite private educations that left them incapable of understanding normal people's lives.

It’s fucked up that trans healthcare is still easier to access without long waits in much of the US than in the EU countries that are supposed to be super lgbtq+ friendly. Why the fuck do people need to visit a gender clinic? Just let regular doctors prescribe hormones with informed consent.

I love how the losers running this place have basically decided to skip straight from early Twitter to the slow sunsetting of Tumblr without any of the money-making in between just bc they're pissed off they attracted fags & furries instead of other crypto losers.

Considering bluesky was vibe coded aren’t we all kind of supporting AI by using it?

It’s almost like ”separate the art from the artist” was just an excuse to reify predominate social structures by making sure awful people never face consequences for their actions.

Nudity without sexual intent is not an example of someone harming you you puritanical weirdos

Growing up going to a Unitarian church with pagan parents, we would go every week except Christmas and Easter so we could dodge the overly Christian services.

Being “color blind” or “gender blind” or any other oppression-blind is like being nose blind to the smell of dog piss in your rug. The smell is still there and your only friends who still come over are the ones whose house also smells like piss.

I don’t think it can be overstated how many of our society’s perceived virtues are based on generational trauma from past wars.
