I can love as a woman in a way I cannot as a man, not because men cannot love but because I am not a man. My heart sings in the way it can because it is free.

Also I’m beautiful? It took me a while to understand and appreciate it. I am so grateful for surgery correcting some of the ways my first adolescence changed my body, has given me the ability to have sex the way I want to.

Being on the right hormones is amazing, it’s the difference between being a desert and a rainforest.

The company of other trans women is one of my favorite things in the whole world.

We have gifts and insight few cis people truly appreciate. We have the light of the divine in us.

I’ve been thinking this.

Happened to find myself in the Jewish neighborhood of LA so I stopped in a bookstore to get a couple books, and I emailed someone at the synagogue I used to attend to say hi and she invited me to the service she would be leading where a baby will be named 💜

The only real reason I stopped in my conversion was the isolation of Covid that made me feel so cut off, which looking back seems like such a bad reason but it felt pretend, empty. I didn’t know how to continue in a meaningful way.

i don’t get it

Feeling a ridiculously strong pull back towards Judaism

I have two names depending on context (official and personal) and they’re both names that fascinated me when I was a child. Neither is the name of my miscarried elder sister who I believe myself to be a reincarnation of. I may at some point choose a religious name, if I can actually do a religion.

The weary scorekeeper looks up then down, pinches the bridge of their nose and sighs deeply: “1000 more points to Bitdizzy.”

In Los Angeles for the second time ever. I like this place a lot more the second time around, but also I was barely here the first time so that doesn’t mean much.

I’ve seen this a few times and while a “bang” and a “splash” were definitely observed “near a bulk carrier” I don’t see anyone other than Iranian state news reporting the destruction of any vessel.

I don’t think this is true.

This breaks my heart and makes me so mad.

as expected, i got a bit queasy once i started pushing the plunger but it wasn’t too bad and i suspect that response might fade over time.

yr girl just gave herself her first injection

so far I’ve only done pills, because needles can make me queasy

but between being aware of health risks, knowing vials are easier to get ahold of than pills, and wanting a more stable, bioavailable dosage, I’ve been thinking of switching.

The American Century of Humiliation is coming along right on schedule.

I don’t see the relevance?

Given its ubiquity I knew there must be a mechanical reason for it, not an aesthetic one. Turns out this design allows the wheel well to be set slightly further to the sides, allowing the wheels to be wider (and thus more stable) while not expanding the body of the car outwards!

I have wondered this for years: do you ever notice how virtually every modern car has this flat section surrounding the wheel?

Fact has no bearing for these people. It is the number of the beast, which his acolytes cannot help but inject into everything.

took me a minute to dig up, but it’s this guy bsky.app/profile/rory...

Another economist/oil expert dude on here was saying it probable that we hit $200.

I also suspect a portion of this may well be internationally-driven influence campaigns designed to stir up more hostilities.

To be honest, I think for the most part it’s people lost in the social media spectacle, people who in the long run are not particularly influential.

However, I do think a sizable portion of that influence come from repubs who quit the party, rebranded as dems, and started bluehat Influencing

Entirely possible.

Yes, Trump is very skittish, but he may die any day and I do not really have faith that Vance is similarly wary.
