I'm a beginner, I was having difficulty with moving around my yarn so I decided to lower the tension, but now I'm worried the tension is too low and that my short is going to be... Inappropriate for public use. I can upload more pictures if necessary.
This essay has been a strugglebus so far. Basically, I have to write a 5-page-essay about how our career choice is a good career choice from an objective standpoint, using articles from the school's library. That means talking about how it's good for anyone, not just you.
I was able to write the right draft but I feel like it's just word-vomit and it doesn't really make any sense.
Like, for some people ASMR is like, this transcendental experience, for others (like me), it's viscerally disgusting. Why?
She immediately "went for a fly" outside and almost died.
if you start a wildfire because you couldn't resist your precious pyrotechnics even in the middle of a months-long drought and severe heatwave, I'm blaming you.
I'm not at all interested in PIV sex but I still don't want my vagina to experience atrophy because it can be painful and lead to infection. Is the only way to avoid it to get bottom surgery? To be honest I don't really want bottom surgery, I guess if I ever become interested in sex when I'm older that might change but I'm 18 and I've still never really been interested in sex. I just don't want to get hurt.
There is SO MUCH that you need to have JUST for the first part of getting your name changed. I did EVERYTHING right, I brought in all the papers I needed, they got verified, and I'm STILL not able to get it changed because APPARENTLY your ID needs to have an address to be valid. This means that my passport which was very difficult and very expensive to get is not a valid ID which ALSO means that I'll have to pay for TWO IDs--one to get my name changed and another with the newly changed name.
Even with my fee waiver this whole process has probably cost me around 100 dollars or more--without that fee waiver it would have been well over 200 dollars.
I don't have any proof, but I'm 100% certain this is a form of redlining--making the process extremely arduous and expensive to discourage transgender and disadvantaged people from being allowed to change their own names.
It's disgusting that this has been allowed to continue.
I just bought spore since it was on sale (I already had a pirated version of the game with the DLC but I wanted the online features as well) but I don't have the money to also afford the DLC. If not, that's fine, I can live without it, but I would appreciate it if there is.
I tried to play with the DND club at my school but they treated our meeting time as a "watch videos loudly and make out" time than a time to play tabletop roleplay. The only person I can say actually cared about the game itself is the club leader since she was the only one who actually seemed engaged at all when we actually started playing.
I want to find a group of friends to play DND with, because it sounds fun and I STILL haven't gotten the chance to actually play it proper before but I'm afraid I'll end up with the wrong people--dangerous, transphobic people. I thought, "well, Time Out Youth has a DND night, why don't I just try that?" but I'm scared to actually try just to see they're like my school's DND club or worse.
I see they have the products listed on their website but they don't have even an expected price-point for it. I need to know because I need to know because I'm making a business plan and I need to know how much advertising costs so I can add it to the start-up costs.
I like to build but I struggle a lot with floor plans and stuff so I like to use shells instead of building the whole thing myself.
I love the idea of flower arranging but they're just so UGLY. Like, why are there so many fucking leaves, I thought we were doing flower arranging, and you're stuck with the ugly as sin rectangle pot. I want arrangements that look more like the wedding bouquets with the customizable pots from businesses and hobbies.
This umbrella I used to protect a small tree from getting too much rain which was, eh, very unsuccessful. It got busted up and the arms are broken.
​
There are 3 parts to each arm, a small thin one to support the arm that pushes the umbrella open and the larger ones which hold out the edges of the umbrella fabric.
​
I was thinking I could remove the arms and replace them with thin wood but there's several problems with that. First of all, wood is extremely frail compared to metal, it may just snap on half the moment it meets a bit of wind. Second of all, there need to be hinges attached where the arms connect to both the metal pole in the middle and each other, further compromising the integrity of the wood.
​
In addition, the hinges which attach the arms to the metal pole are inside of a small metal divet I'm not sure how I'd attach a new rod to.
A few days ago I made a post on here talking about how I was stopping my birth control for health related reasons and that I was hoping the testosterone would stop my periods.
Bad news: it didn't.
4 days after I stopped my birth control I got my first period in years and it was *brutal*. The day before it started I was experiencing severe POTS symptoms (Postural Orthopedic Tachycardia Syndrome) such that I was panting from exhaustion just walking up the wheelchair ramp to my school, the day after--cramps, blood, headaches, faintness, delirium. All after just 4 days of stopping my birth control.
So, I'm going back on the birth control temporarily while I wait for my appointment with my GYN to find a birth control which doesn't increase risk of blood clots OR aggravate my POTS symptoms.
Honestly, with how much this has disrupted my life even after just a few days I've been considering actually taking steps to get a hysterectomy. I'm not sure where I would even start, doctors barely even allow CIS women to get hysterectomies, let alone transmascs, and my insurance does not cover "gender-affirming healthcare" which means that I'll either have to convince them it's not gender-affirming or I'll have to pay out of pocket, which will suck because I don't have that kind of money just laying around.
I've been on birth control for years and in that time I haven't really had periods or many, if any, POTS symptoms. However, I recently stopped taking my birth control because my doctor was concerned for my risk of blood clots and, now, I'm having my first period in years. Whereas before my POTS symptoms were just a background factor of my life I didn't need to pay much attention to, since yesterday my heart has been beating like crazy. Yesterday, just walking up the wheelchair ramp to my school building, my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest and I was panting by the time I reached the help desk. Today, just walking down the stairs my vision got all blurry and I thought I was going to pass out.
I've been on T for around 6 months now and in that time my voice has changed quite a bit. It's made it a little difficult to talk sometimes because I need to make slightly different shapes with my mouth to make the same sounds as I used to.
It doesn't really sound masculine, at least not to me, but my dad was on phone call with my sister yesterday and I was there talking about... something, I don't remember, but my sister yelled out "who is that?! You got a man in the house?!" (or something like that, it was difficult for me to hear what she said over the phone). It makes me wonder if I'll pass as male if I join voice chat in the discord servers I used to hang out in. I don't really know how to feel about that either, I don't *really* feel like a man, that's why I identify as bigender, but I think I'll certainly feel better about interacting with them when I'm not the *only* woman in the whole server (obviously I'm not, I'm just the only one I've ever seen (and isn't that strange, it's a lovely community, I never had an issue with it)).
Despite all that though, every time I laugh, or sigh, or groan, or make some other kind of guttural noise I feel... happy. It makes me happy to feel the baritone-qualities of my voice vibrate my chest, like... I don't know. I don't even know how to describe it.
10,000 honkers? It's literally Thursday and even though I've been saving up since Monday I still only have 2,400 dollars.
Why is there even a ghost here, I don't have Spooky.
With underwear and shorts the legs look fine, but whenever I give them a dress or pants, there's this band of glitchy blackness that reaches just a few inches below the bottom of the pants.
