I posted a picture of myself on reddit asking for hair advice. My head was turned somewhat to the side so my nose was in profile. Someone felt the need to tell me I had the ugliest nose they had ever seen. I never really noticed the shape before that, but now in my mind's eye it's huge, crooked and has a hook.

A decade later I was getting a septoplasty to repair damage from an assault, and I asked the surgeon if he could remove the hook in my nose. He looked at me with the most compassion anyone ever has, and asked me to point out the hook in the mirror. It was the first time in all those years I finally saw my real nose. It's actually pretty cute, I don't know what that commentor was smoking

Rushing to the boombox when you hear your new favorite song, to record it to cassette

I would definitely never choose to be born a woman again. I've had some really terrible things happen to me because of my birth gender, and while I know some of them can and do happen to men, they wouldn't be in the same context.

My life has been quite a lot better since I stopped presenting as a woman. Testosterone made me really sick, so I'll never be able to present as a man, but the middle ground is good enough for me

I finally caught covid on Sunday while in the hospital :/ I'm vaccinated and boosted, so far I just have a fever, body aches, and post nasal drip. I'm hoping this is the worst of it.

Ace people are queer too :)

And really, some of us have 0 interest in sex please stop asking us. Believe it or not, romance isn't sexual in and of itself, so it's not impossible for us to crave romance and have no desire for sex.

And, many of us are this way without ever having experienced trauma. It's necessary to ask someone about trauma in a relationship, but don't assume it's the reason for the lack of sexual interest. (In many cases it is a or the reason, but that doesn't take away from the fact that a person doesn't want to engage in sex)

The Torah has eleven genders in it. The Jewish God is supposed to be the same one as the Catholic God, so clearly they haven't read up on their own history

Edit: it's the Talmud and it's 8, my bad

I'm an oif veteran, and I honestly don't think we've fought for our country since pearl harbor

Florida has a long history of governors fucking it over

I don't know if you need to hear some tough love right now, but I'm going to give it and you can choose to read it or not.

Being unhappy has a huge impact on your appearance. You look fuckin miserable in that image, and I'm betting that's what you're finding unattractive. You know how people always say they see the light in their own eyes after they start transitioning? It's because they aren't deeply miserable anymore, and they can finally be free to express themselves, not because they're suddenly pretty or handsome.

Sky, please, find a therapist that you feel listens to you. I know you've been told this a lot, but there's really nothing any of us can do as much as a good therapist can to lift you out of that pit of despair. DBT has been hugely helpful for me, so maybe try looking for that. And you know...I wouldn't be telling you all of this if I hadn't gone through it myself

A suggested motive is that he was angry about being investigated for mistakes he made during surgery, so he was trying to make other doctors look bad too. It's in this article

"Operation Iraqi Freedom" in quotes because that's its name, I should clarify I find the name ridiculous because we freed no one

I'd love to go to a sober bar. Sure, I can get non alcoholic cocktails at my local, but it'd be nice to have the atmosphere and know everyone else is sober too

If we ban trans women who've been on estrogen for two+ years bared on genetics, then we should also ban athletes with genetic advantages like Michael Phelps. I'm not in favor of banning people

Is there a work around? I feel like every time I figure out how to keep it from uploading and just save locally, it resets the next time I boot up. I've been using word because the transcribe feature is very helpful for navigating uni with my disabilities

A lot of vets and boarding facilities loop a leash around the neck, so it can choke the animal if they pull too hard.

Wow. I think you just resolved some minor trauma for me. My mother used to berate (and sometimes beat) me for "never finishing things", as in I'd be really interested in something and then lost interest. It drove her up the wall, but since I was a kid all I heard was "stop being interested in everything".

I got dx'd with ADHD at 35. Slowly, and thanks to comments like yours, I'm making sense of my brain and learning to be kind to myself

Covid wrecked me even with vaccination and boosters. Water, and sleep is what helped. I didn't even eat for a couple days. I could barely get out of bed, let alone stand and cook. Just slept and drank what I could

Women can't be gay, so pride month is only about men and people who used to be men. /s

I love the contrast between these two themes

I just realized I haven't listened to Linkin Park in at least a decade. Thanks for reminding me about them

I had to take prednisone for twelve days. On the first day I took it with my Vyvanse and ended up struggling with really bad anxiety all day. I barely felt like I could breathe. So I spent the rest of the days off my Vyvanse and now I'm terribly far behind on everything xD

It takes more time to cut and sew mesh panels into the leggings. Time and more labor. That could be a reason they're more expensive

Thanks for the heads up :)

All my irl queer friends are in the theater scene. I met them through college classes (the theater is attached to the uni), but a community theater might be a good place to start?

I get asked this a lot, because my accent is dissimilar from the area I live now. I think if people were more familiar with the area I'm from, they'd ask where my parents are from because my accent and terms are a weird mix of the two places.

A simple NY style slice with extra cheese. Maybe some Buffalo sauce to dip in if I'm feeling fancy

That's good to know! I have some chronic disorders that cause fatigue and brain fog, so I'm definitely trying to be extra careful with how I choose to heal from this infection

Feels more like regressing than developing. Maybe they should update the labels

Hm, there's no public charging within 100 miles of me. But there is within what I assume is max range at Montana winter temperatures (~150 miles?) .

Thank you for posting this. I'm absolutely not in the position to buy a new car right now. But, it doesn't seem like traveling across the state would be very difficult if I did purchase an EV. (I have to drive up to five hours one way for certain medical care)

Are you thinking of Rush Limbaugh? Who later actually died of (lung) cancer because he wouldn't stop smoking?

Frozen grapes

There are dozens of us that want to convert our Elements!

Let me know when you start the c/ ! I have seen a lot of conversions for Elements, but I think I've read that it's too heavy to electrify
