This? This is why we are friends. I got you, don’t worry.

The amount of times I’ve tried to pinch-zoom out on an oil painting I’m working on

It’s never too early to start Swedish Death Cleaning, right?

my relationship with my mom was close, but complicated. she accepted me when I came out but died before I started T and transitioned. I wish to hell she could see the man and the father I’ve become. she couldn’t speak. I wish I could have heard her say my name.

I just came out of therapy and I need a hug because it was all about my dead mom, my friend I’ve known since high school who died last year, and my inability to let go of possessions I don’t actually want from my life before transition and emigrating

and also my shitty health. also that.

I know it’s not much but is there anything I can bring back for you and @macaroni.ninja? Little things helped me get by.

coz-moss is killing me

I’ve lived here 17 years and that one is still nails on a chalkboard

Oh I want this.

The emotional regulation issue was so bad it’s why I had to quit them (I couldn’t find one or a dosage that made the shift manageable) but god what I really miss is how they helped with the sensory overload. My antidepressants help a lot with that too, but it was so good on stims.

I feel like I’m being annoying always jumping in but this is still pretty fresh for me - if it’s Thursday, conserve your energy for the interview, a few days isn’t likely to make a difference for those resumes. And good luck!

Howard!!

sure the pope is weak on crime but what do you expect from a guy who worships someone who got executed for sedition and was out on the streets three days later

This was the hardest thing for me about losing a fully remote job. It sucks.

me but propagating plant cuttings

me but propagating my houseplants

I can’t remember what the ad was for but I can remember thinking “wtf is she doing here” so…good job?

I saw Judi Dench in an ad for….insurance comparison? Maybe? It threw me real bad

you and I swapping genders like two ships passing in the night is the only internecine transsexual discourse worth having tbh

Oh I reeeeeallly like this one.

Next invention: "what if I just didn't do that" where something is bad for my mental health, I just don't do it any more

We are, all of us, just trying to fucking get by and kiss our partners and feed our families and blow off steam and listen to the birds. Anyone who tells you otherwise has blood on their teeth.

alas, we are back at the “plain slices of sourdough bread with a side of putting a spoonful of peanut butter in my mouth, immediately followed by a handful of raisins is definitely a meal” levels of burnout

“You’ve met with a terrible fate, haven’t you?”

this is just life in Britain. all the time. everywhere

top notch alt text on this one

This is gonna sound weird, but this also gives me hope, just like your transition did. My life is full of frustrating medical appointments and tests and no answers and I’m so tired and I hurt. At least I’m getting the medical appointments now, I tell myself.

this happens the last week of my Nebido shot cycle without fail and it is AWFUL
