have snag tights got worse in recent years? maybe it's just me but they seem to wear out a lot quicker than they used to and the material is less comfortable. I was hoping it was just the odd off batch but idk

I once met her at an event in the houses of parliament my friend brought me to as their plus one and I'd been just reading about her on Wikipedia quite recently and so gabbled on about her music career and completely missed any opportunity to ask about Poirot (probably a relief to her not to be!)

in an attempt to chisel some enjoyment out of life I toasted the oats before making porridge this morning and it's a very cheap way to feel fancy for a brief while

Its quite hard to encounter a cis woman who hasn't indulged in a bit of the old hormone bio hacking. Contraceptive pill, HRT for menopause, fertility treatments, etc etc
Everyone knows its never permanent after taking 1 dose because the messengers need to keep sending messages.

This is incredibly basic biology.
There is no traversing polarity to 'cross' to, its just garbage to make you think HRT cis people take freely is somehow sinister when trans people also take it to get exactly the same set of messengers in their body cis people want.

Cis people, including allies seem to not hear us when we try to point this out, but there really isnt a 'cross sex hormone'. A hormone is a messenger in the body, there are more than the ones included in HRT. Testosterone is not the 'opposite' of estrogen, this is daft.

There is no such thing as "cross sex hormones", its a TERFism.

They tried to make it sound like 'cross dressing' to dogwhistle autogynephilia, and separate it out from what cis people enjoy throughout their lives as HRT.
Its also a forced binary, because it suggests there are only 2 genders.

I've been having vivid nightmares fairly solidly recently, so I suppose this is an improvement, but it felt very sad to even in a beautiful dream realise it was nothing and remember all my real life responsibilities in all their boring unimpressive unaesthetic obligation

dreamt I was watching a film that I had written directed and starred in, in my youth, and it was really good, and visually beautiful, I was so proud and really excited to watch more - and then even while I was still asleep I began to realise it was just a dream and I would wake up and forget it all

people who aren't me probably know this already but you can blend any genre of vegetable with a tin of white beans of some sort and season: boom, instantly a lazy pasta sauce. add water or stock? lazy soup. make twice the amount? both.

if anyone around wants to remind me that the energy i spend on writing isn’t a total waste and that there really are multiple humans out there genuinely invested in me continuing to do it, well, it would be appreciated today 😓

what you write is amazing and makes a huge, huge difference. you often completely transform my understanding of things and I profoundly appreciate that you make the effort to, essentially into the void, not knowing if it will reach people, for free. youve probably changed a great many people's lives
