  • I’ve been on injections for over a year now, with an HRT prescription from planned parenthood rather than DIY (for now, anyway…) Blood tests show stellar results, last one was like 27 units (pg/mol or whatever?) of T and 280 units of E. Measured at the uh, whatever it’s called, the halfway point between injection days.

    The first time I did it, I was surprised how little pain there was, following guidance on how to do it right. Pinching around where you’ll inject distracts your nerves so they don’t notice the jab, at least when doing it in the thigh like I do. It’s super easy, though I gotta be nice and calm and collected or I get too shaky or risk forgetting a step (I recently opened a new vial, but got distracted and drew from it without wiping the stopper with an alcohol wipe first, dumb mistake to make!)


  • It always sounded awful. But I don’t even think it’s that, because as far as I’m concerned, if god is anything besides made up, there’s no way it doesn’t just slowly consume souls of the dead.

    Easy food, just subsist off the faithful and keep the train going for thousands of years with infighting and a strong drive to proselytize non-believers. Some kind of cosmic horror shit or something, gotta be.

    Edit: But to be clear, I’m not trying to imply anyone following this or other religions is wrong or anything, or that I actually believe this (I’m in the “it’s made up” camp), I just think cosmic horror is neat and love overthinking :3




  • I don’t like him, he’s too much of an opportunist. When you’re willing to throw lgbt people under the bus, as he’s done many times, you’re willing to throw others under the bus too when it suits you. So I would personally caution about voting for someone based on small aspects of their character instead of the whole (people throught Trump was funny in 2016, and now we’re here).

    If Newsom ends up winning the primary, I’ll obviously vote for him. There’s no other fucking choices. But I have little confidence given his record. I only know that he’d run things less poorly than the fascists, but that bar is as low as it gets.







  • It’s like, if we’re made completely illegal from just existing, outside of rotting in prison without our meds, or worse, then a lot of us would have literally no choice but to defend ourselves. Because it’s literally either that, or just going straight to El Salvador/Alligator-Auschwitz.

    Which is of course, what they want. Either they hurt us when we stay passive, or else we try to fight and they get to say, “Look, see, see, they are violent!” and then they hurt us anyway. It never should’ve come anywhere close to this point. Fuck fascists, and the conservatives that aid them, forever.

    I wish it hadn’t come to this point. Like, I daydream about all these shitty nazis going down swiftly in one way or another. So I might get to live my life in peace in the near future, instead of having to wait til I’m old for fascism to recede again (if I even survive, being a trans woman). But something actually happening has tons of complications attached. I don’t want fucko’s death to lead to some crackdown, or more right-wingers committing shootings (when they already have the near monopoly on shootings, and for all we know Kirk’s killer might’ve been one too) or galvanizing of MAGA shit. And by galvanizing, I mean people who were like “This isn’t what I voted for!” and suffering, suddenly popping back into full cult mode.

    But of course, at the same time, I know it doesn’t matter. Regardless of what happened, they’d find an excuse to do a crackdown, or have trump mumble some shit to rile up the cult. Or they’d just do some more fashy shit with no prior justification anyway if they never got an inciting incident to fill the excuse role.

    I guess I just want all this to resolve with minimal deaths, for the regime to topple and the members and the media/influencers who helped get us here to be tried and convicted, and other ones like the supreme court getting impeached so there’s tons of precedent being set to avoid this happening again in 80-100 more years. But it definitely won’t stay minimal or involve court rulings if we start getting more and more shootings of specific targets and if we start seeing retaliation following said assassinations.

    Though when right-wingers assassinated those Minnesota democrats some months back, or when Pelosi’s husband got beaten nearly to death in his own home, Kirk and Trump, and other figureheads, as well as a flood of nobody right-wingers on social media who are all now up in arms and angry about Kirk’s death, just got smug and cheered and jeered about it. So, thoughts and prayers for dickhead and the family he leaves behind, and I guess we just wait and see what comes next in this little circus of bullshit.
