With all the discussion of gay kitties lately, it brings me no joy to confess that not only are my cats heterosexual, they are in a problematic age gap relationship (~3 years).

(In all seriousness, they are adorable and love each other very much.)

That’s too bad. I’ve been tired with dealing with stubble, and I saw the waxing/epilator conversation earlier and had some hope.

Any recommendations for products for home wax facial hair removal?

I agree on informed consent, but getting a prescription would make sure that it’s covered by my insurance (although maybe informed consent will also be covered? I will need to figure that out.)

Reading this unlocked a memory of how badly I wanted a Princess Luna My Little Pony plush when I was in high school, which in reflection is another indicator of being trans I surprised.

Gonna get one. Maybe a Blahaj as well.

I came out to the first time to a person outside of Hexbear. She’s also a trans leftist, and an online gaming friend. I had this massive pit in my chest, but she is super supportive (which should have been obvious to expect, but I have bad anxiety).

So, I am happy, and I hope that it keeps getting easier.

Yeah, things get worse until the end of the game, and then you beat the game so it’s over.

It took me a few runs before I understood the mechanics well enough to make sure how to keep people warm enough. Figuring out the right balance of resources is critical, as is making sure you keep up with research.

That’s terrible.

Played Frostpunk 2 this weekend. Not as good as Frostpunk 1, and uninstalled it after finishing my first playthrough.

Well, my issue is that Hexbear is the only place where I’m really out. Not really planning on coming out to any meatspace friends for a couple months at least, since I need to get some ducks in a row. I have some trans online friends that I’m close enough to, so I guess I can ask them when I come out. Not really sure what’s holding me back from coming out to them, other than I don’t want to be a bother.

My first skirt came in. Like with everything else I’ve been doing (shaving face/body hair, painting nails), it’s a mix of euphoria and dysphoria to wear. Still, cannot wait for the rest of the outfit to come in.

The MSM mentions PIJ pretty often as well. The point is to make it seem a like a religious conflict between (scary) Muslims and Jewish people, as opposed to a national liberation conflict between settlers and natives.

Curious if folks have recs for online graphic tee shopping (North America). I want to get some new ones. My pre-eggcrack mainstay was Into the AM, but all their current designs are pretty masc and I’d like to try someplace new. Would prefer more artsy designs than pop culture stuff.

I need to rewatch it. I had really strong feelings about the movie and loved the soundtrack, but because I was deep in the closet my memory of why it resonated so much aren’t we defined.

The hoodie that I really wanted is sold out in my size. I was able to find a different one that I also like, but it’s twice as expensive and the accent color is different so I have to modify some other parts of the outfit as well.

Really excited to see it come together though! Now I just have to wait for all the pieces to arrive.

Despite doing a bad job at it, I am surprised with how good I feel about painting my nails for the first time. I didn’t think I wanted to buy any girl clothes until I lost more weight, but now I am already thinking about outfits and how to paint my nails with them. I found some plus-sized thighhighs and skirt online that should fit (need to get a tape measurer to double check, can’t find the one I had). For the top, just looking for an appropriate graphic hoodie.

I also need to course correct a bit on my diet. I lost 5 lbs in 1 week (~1000 kcal intake/day + exercise + a job that keeps me walking most of the day), and was starting to feel a bit ill yesterday. So, took the day off from the gym and made some vegan imitation chorizo + roasted veggies.

The uncommitted movement said they weren’t endorsing her, but they also said that people should vote, but not vote for anyone other than Kamala. So, they effectively endorsed her.
