As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

My wife is judging how much moisturizer I use

I don't like how most of my life lessons have come from video games and media, like I do have a life debatable but it's just so easy to say this reminds me of one of my video games

pirated oblivion remastered and having a good time playing it with gf. the game passed me by back in the day and i don't think i could ever get past the look/art style of the original so this is ideal for me tbh. obviously wouldn't pay money for it but kinda glad it exists?

All the mention of elder scrolls been looking into daggerfall unity, is free and my laptop can handle it so gonna figure out that later when I'm done with some stuff today

Luckily my work's internet doesn't block ao3 yet

me talking to my wife about plants

oblivion is fun despite being the worst game ever made

holy FUCK girls are SO FUCKING pretty

I have recently become aware of a most cursed study from 2018 concerning willingness to date trans people.

I keep my phone at arms length when I message someone and see them typing, I'm such a dumb child sometimes as if the phone will hurt me lmao

Trying to figure out what's the next scary unknown will be so I can anticipate what the next spiderman origin will be, first radiation then genetic, then quantum stuff. Maybe we'll get communism or gender as the capital hedgemony unravels for how the spider bite works next time

Trans mega stay winning 😤😤😤

My phone's text thing always has the pleading emoji ready for me 🥺, if no one else has my back the predictive text thing does

Need to find some canned vegan food or something, I do miss the convenience of like sardines or tuna (minus all the Mercury) tins around I can dump into some rice with veggies. Closest quick thing I found once was like these packets of miso soup you just added into hot water

If i had a nickel for every time i fall for a woman who can give absolutely incredible amounts of affection and care, but struggles to receive and accept being loved due to past trauma, i'd have two nickels. Which isn't much, but it's funny that it happened twice and by funny i mean i wanna strangle the one that did this to her so badly rn.

I've had so much trouble shopping for this specific nail polish since a lot of shades are either exclusive to a specific retailer or sold out from my local stores. However, finally found the shades I need to complete both trans pride and bi pride colors.

No thoughts go through my head as I eat my oatmeal
just bit of background radiation of sweater song by Weezer

I DID SO MUCH TODAY AND IM STILL UNDERSTIMULATED WTF

Did my first injection, please clap
The injection itself wasn't that bad, I've always been okay with needles. But drawing was a pain in the ass, I had the needle in there for probably 5-10 minutes, constantly pulling and pushing the plunger back and forth to coax the stuff into the syringe. I even did the thing where you inject air into it, but maybe I didn't do it right. I just hope I didn't damage the vial or contaminate it or something

My bedtime is utterly fucked, 4 hours of sleep tonight maybe less because I'm a dummy

Xia updates:
I'm a trans woman. Not non binary. Not a fruity guy. I told my partner who has been checking in weekly re: pronouns and she were basically like "really took your time there". Told some old friends and it went well. I assume everything is going fine for trans women? I've been out of the loop.
I had a haircut, the shortest in years, but now to my shoulders, looks great, and it's easier to wear down, I still can put it into a neat bun/undercut combo.
Last night I had a dream I was several years into a zombie apocalypse and I met an old work colleague who was at a fortified hospital looking for a cure, she was like "hey by the way, I heard you are woman, congrats" and we hugged as zombies battered on the boarded windows.

I did a photoshoot today and im simultaneously really happy with the images and absolutely hate them.

Played silent Hill 2 for the first time (PS2 version emulated) it's real good and scary. Still shaken a bit and it might affect my dreams but worth it

got a question about HRT injections
are you supposed to pierce the stopper at the same spot every time, or go for a different spot each time?

I just wanted to borrow a bit of e because i was running low, so i headed over to her place and did my shot, we made a little smalltalk and then she kinda just fell into me and we started cuddling. And kept cuddling and giving headpats and scritches and holding hands and hugging each other for an hour and a half. God, i'm still gushing when i think about how good it was to hold her like that. How good she smells, how soft her skin is. At one point, she fell asleep in my arms and she started twitching like a dreaming puppy. It was so cute. She's so precious. I'm so glad i have her in my life.

Excellent haul at the thrift store today. I am still too self-conscious to try out clothes, so I got lucky: everything fits well! Got a couple plain color t-shirts with varying necklines, a yellow shrug, some flannels, and this really cute Torrid purple plaid blousey midi dress that fits perfectly.

Might buy the accursed Amazon skirt since no online retailer has decent ones.

why is the bbc so fucking transphobic who are these people why do the care so much

The News Mega is winning

what the fuck is a jelly bean

TikTok has picked up on my loneliness and keeps giving me ads for dating apps and holy shit there are a ton of these things. I've had it push like half a dozen different ones in the last day or so. I hadn't heard of any of these, why are there so many f#cking apps

It really feels like the average terfs conception of trans woman is just like…The Rock in a wig.
Meanwhile I’m like…shorter than my wife’s mother and can’t even lift 50 pounds.

i was complaining last week that my tits haven't been hurting much and i was scared they stopped growing
OUCH OOF OWIE i guess they listened

Do not understand people into selfcest.
How would that even work?…who would make the first move?

I'm finally closer to being a transwoman y'all
Done:
programmer socks
learned Rust
puppy collar
actually transitioned (not as important, really)
installed arch a bunch of times
and, finally, a "real" mechanical keyboard, as of yesterday (ok its a prebuilt but its a hotswap TKL so I think it counts)
Todo:
ancient thinkpad
probdbly some other stuff I'm forgetting

If gender was a food ::: spoiler spoiler Idk but people need to respond to me, I got rid of my upbear count so the only engagement I see is people responding to my comments 😭 anyway respond with your favorite food and I'll associate that with your gender going forward :::

got given my granddad's 40 year old jade and it's in really bad condition

Saw a job posting I actually want which I have the qualifications for, time for a couple of weeks of excited joy before inevitable disappointment

Spent past my bed time chatting with a new friend and now I'm paying the consequences, still need to get my morning cardio in before I can sleep

Need to mention here I got ma'am through text alone. I normally get that on the phone but that was a new one, it is misgendering but
beats being called man or sir since I'm

I have to stop waking up at like noon, but I feel kind of sick

Wow I have changed so much over the past year. And not in the way I wanted to. I've gone through some real awful shit, I came pretty close to dying, I've tried to decide who I am and what I want to do with my life. Shits been crazy. The main thing I've realised is that I'm so young. I'm 22, I don't need to know everything yet.

My boobs are still barely boobs but they’re bigger than they’ve ever appeared and I can’t look away 🥹
- Your eyes are up here.

Found a packet of blooming green tea I got forever ago, gonna have to look through my kitchen for my fancy glass pitcher with the base for the candle later if I want to do it justice

- What do you think about wearing pronoun pins?
  
  I have nothing against it, but nobody ever reads my name tag anyway, or when they do, they still can't figure out that my very she/her ass name is a woman. customers don't read shit and I sincerely doubt that a pronoun pin will change that

Making people angry on
is good not gonna say owning the libs but it damn feels like that
