Cuz he was quieter. When I used to think he might be smart is when I never watched any of his interviews or read any of his tweets.

Better to keep your mouth shut and be called a fool than to open it and prove them right.

The top left pic was six months into social transition and three months on HRT already. I have a much more radically different before pic somewhere, but I more wanted to highlight the difference between years 1,2,3, and 4 on HRT and letting my hair grow.

My main advice for new trans folks is this:

1. The hormones will not do everything. You gotta put effort into your wardrobe, your movements, your voice, your accessories, the ways that you sit, eat, etc. My whole life I was putting effort into stopping myself from being too femme because I was being made fun of. I trained myself out of a lot of those natural-feeling movements and had to retrain myself.

2. be healthy! You’re in the right gender now, so take care of yourself! Eat right, brush your teeth, use good shampoo, clean your house and your bedding. These things will make your skin clearer and generally help you feel overall happier. This, too, is part of transition

3. be patient! And be kind to yourself. The changes will not happen instantaneously and there will be days when all you can see is your old self. Learn to forgive yourself for this.

4. get therapy. Helps with point 3 and 2. And there’s usually some other stuff going on behind the scenes mentally. Transition will not solve all your problems, but I can make your problems feel worth solving.

Good luck! You got this! 💪

LMAO! Thanks! 🥰

So pretty! Hell of a change! You look much happier!

Goddamn it… A Splatoon adventure game is the exact type of shit to finally make me want the new system.

I ain’t buying that shit at full price tho! You can’t make me!!!

Fun fact: I have never actually seen a clip of this with audio, so I always give this guy the Skeletor voice in my head and I just realized he probably doesn’t sound like that.

Sapphic, perhaps.

Buy local, in cash.

Every card transaction benefits the big credit card companies, all of which are complicit. Local businesses are some of the ones hit hardest from all of this and will need your support.

Avoid chains owned by local folks, too. Those big chains still benefit even if it’s your neighbor that owns the local McDonalds.

Support things the government is trying to destroy, like your local library, and your local stores that sell LGBT positive merchandise.

Make friends with your neighbors. Grow things in your yard that they need and trade for stuff you need. Many folks that seem in agreement with all of this really aren’t if you know them. We are stronger together.

In regards to home gardens, Not everyone needs everything, but everyone needs something. If you can get chickens or some kind of egg laying fowl, then that’s a possibility as well. Guineas are fighters and do well in areas without a lot of brush or low trees.

Bike as much as you can. Avoid gas as much as you can. Ride the bus or a train. Don’t fly anywhere. Install solar panels if you are able. Capture rain water and use it for your garden.

Buy used as much as possible, especially clothes.

Replace your single use materials in your home with reusable ones. Rags instead of paper towels, glass containers instead of plastic ones, metal straws, and a water pick instead of floss.

Make things. Anything. Don’t monetize your hobbies, share them instead. Trade homemade goods and art for other stuff.

Avoid the dollar as much as possible, and use cash when you can’t.

It was my FFXIV character’s name first.

Mint cuz I’m a newbie and it was recommended.

I tried KDE Neon Plasma a while too and it was doing a weird stuttery jitter thing with the mouse that I didn’t like so I switched back.

Mint just hasn’t had any huge frustrating problems or anything wrong with it that I couldn’t fix in the settings menu. Just how I like it.

Pastel Goth!

oh, this is amazing, actually! What an awesome treat on the first!

I wonder, then, if the move is to type your comment, run it through a translator yourself, then post both? I saw that move a lot on Rednote before it added its own translator.

This feels like a top notch streamer game!

They talk about this shit like it’s a video game. I hate it here.

I played Gen 1 as a kid and didn’t play Pokemon again til Black and White. It was an amazing leap to see the first and last pixel animated mainline Pokemon games, and both had their own unique set of 150 Pokemon. It’s like a showcase of how much the series had grown.

Incidentally, it was the last mainline Pokemon game I actually enjoyed.

Yes! Dems have any spine at all challenge (impossible).

Dems are part of the ruling class. Always has been.

Covid Vaccine.

The timeline works, actually.

Gen:Lock season 1 happens, lol
