Let's see how long I'll be able to keep it up

As much as it sucks for my AuDHD ass, daily practice and gradual improvement over months is the actual way to go.
On the bright side, I've still learned a few things over the years, so I'm not starting from scratch, and I'm already seeing some improvement after 3 days of proper exercises.

I realize now that my past relationship with singing was much like going to the gym and trying to lift the heaviest weight, pulling all muscles in the process, taking weeks or months to recover, and then repeating the whole thing again. It's not my fault I like Freddie, Geddy Lee and others, ok?

If you're currently in Cyprus and want to see cicadas molting, 10-11 PM seems to be the perfect time.

I'm still in the process, and tbqh not the biggest fan of the colors in the NB flag, so we'll see where this goes

There are other things like some degree of dysmorphia around facial/body hair and such, repulsion toward aspects of male socialization (especially the abominable tradition of handshaking), and so on and so forth

Of course, I'm not just trying to be a pick-me, and it's not only about refusing to carry the weight of patriarchy on my shoulders

Shoutout to Sasha Kapadya for helping me come to this realization

Although I think it’s perfectly fine not to be into manly man things and still identify as male, I just got too tired of feeling like I’m part of the oppressive system—even if I’ve never really contributed to it in any meaningful way

To finally address the elephant, I started identifying as non-binary a few months ago. It's partly a political statement against patriarchy, but it's not like the signs weren't there long ago — remember me with Kino as my userpic? Bonus points if you remember the only male character I ever put there

I think I'm doing a decent job, but it's so stressful that I'd prefer to have at least a couple of days off after each interview to recover. And I had 2 today.

I mean, it requires:
- talking to a person while trying to look and act natural
- processing what they're saying
- switching from one question to another (takes me a few seconds of staring into a paper)
- doing all of the above while the person's future depends on you

I'm not built for interviewing job candidates
