Getting the urge to put up Christmas lights, it's already so dark and wet outside 🥺

Sports orgs doing Normal things again... (In this week's episode, the IOC has telegraphed their intent to break their own charter by hiring an "expert" to produce a review advocating for a ban on all trans women competing, despite a wealth of published evidence to the contrary.)

Surprise transfer for Stroll to McLaren?

Is it just me or do they look AI-generated in this picture?

Love messing with my meds and requesting additions to my blood tests because the doctors sure don't seem to be interested in why my T is still out of range so I guess I gotta find out myself

Nurse: hmm it looks like your testosterone is too high Also Nurse: idk if we can give you your testosterone blocker then Me:

Wow what a great idea to have internet infrastructure dominated by just a handful of companies, I'm sure that won't lead to widespread issues whenever one of them has a problem...

I had forgotten about Win10 going out of support today, conveniently I finally set up my replacement laptop last night. Timing! (I had had the old one since 2012 and was quite attached to it, but the screen died and there are no spares available, rendering it useless without an external monitor 😔)

My body baffles me honestly

*"While you were making it cry or sing, he studied all the chords."*

I will semi-regularly mention something that happened to me and have everyone in the room give me the "wait, what?" look, and only then realise that it was totally off the wall. My IRL friend group calls it Cambria Lore 😅

Reskeet the clean and functional bus network to scare an American

In other extremely neurotypical news, my partner and I just broke out into an impromptu acapella version of the Mii Channel theme tune. We are very normal.

Freya Emerson, 35, reportedly failed to respond to your casual request for a coffee as she didn’t know how to explain to you that she was overwhelmed and unavailable without making it sound like she didn’t like you – and has felt terrible about it ever since.

I think I've radicalised my partner, the holiday rental only had coffee pods so she insisted on finding specialty coffee to go in the cafetiere. We're only here for 3 days.

> Be Me > Be stressed because my ADHD keeps making it harder and harder to function > Get to top of ADHD medication waitlist after 26 months > Discharged because my blood pressure is slightly too high... due to the stress of dealing with ADHD 🙄 Don't know why I even fucking try tbh 😞

twenty years from now there’ll be so many cis directors making oscar-bait films about us

There is a guy waiting at the crossing next to me who normally I'd try to avoid based on looks alone - backwards cap, buzz cut, sagging so far you can see his whole ass, clapped-out shitbox of a bike. Except for one thing: he's belting Cyndi Lauper, in public, at 4pm on a Monday afternoon

giving the LLM dysphoria because i keep telling it that it would look cuter in a floor to ceiling vacuum tube mainframe instead

One day I will manage to leave the flat on a bicycle without a middle aged man with anger issues attempting to visit vehicular homicide upon me, but today is not that day

Spoke too soon, we got one. Privileged cissies who are not having violence incited against them on the daily sit down and listen for once challenge (impossible)

News just in: Ed Davey thinks it's fine when an influential right winger calls for trans people to be shot and/or lynched because that's not actually violence in his book, but when the stones the man throws are thrown back at him that "should have no place in society." Cooked in the head.

If nothing else, the fact that I have seen zero friends doing the "bUt PoLiTiCaL vIoLeNcE bAd" schtick at least proves that I seem to run in decent circles these days

charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined

is it political violence when a trans woman dies because she was denied healthcare

moment of silence for all the dolls who paid $5k for tracheal shaves cus i guess in utah theyre just givin em out for free

Deeply feel the things Dee talks about in this thread as someone who has also struggled specifically with employment since coming out. It's hard to know if the refusal to acknowledge it is ignorance or simply cope sometimes 🧵⤵️

Watching an American MTB video for the first time in ages and they keep talking about wet roots and I just... this is why y'all's trails being closed any time there's rain is a problem. That's a *normal* situation in Europe.

If you're wondering how my mental health is doing, I've recently started drinking straight double espressos 😶

Lmao apparently a woman wearing a sports bra to do sports is "sexual content" according to Strava and they also decided to email my deadname about it despite it not having been on my account in like 4 years 🙃

I am a trans woman in the UK. My most influential enemies are the guy who co-created a sitcom about Catholic priests back in the 90s, a woman who wrote some children’s books about wizards, and the prime minister. Sometimes I feel a little crazy about this.

No. There is no hope for us.

It's the start of the month, y'all know what that means (400mg of progesterone is what it means)

"HRT will make you look like your mother"

This is NOT the greatest tonic in the world. This is just:

Temu Pink Pony Club?

Museum guide has a HP pin 🤢

My sister-in-law, circa two nights ago when we got to chat 1-1 for the first time ever:

When he's telling the homies about me:

The fit in play at the time. I was literally at a family dinner!

It's still a really weird feeling to have people actively hit on me. Literally had a woman at the next table in this restaurant making eyes at me all night and then grabbing me just outside the loo to ask for my socials, like um? Sorry? Me?

Trans women threatening this dynamic, not because we were "raised men" or whatever but because we infiltrated men's social spaces from birth and have enough examples of the contrary to prove the lie.

I should not be left alone with a bank account and access to Lucy & Yak sales, it's dangerous

We must all do our bit to help bring in the harvest

"It's only by having these discussions out in the open... that we can create something that looks fundamentally different" Ok, so why the backroom agreement to suddenly be silent on trans rights then?

Can't believe they gave the AI a 'phobic supervisor just like they did to me 👀
