Glanced at a mirror in passing, I saw an hourglass adorned in lace and flower. Joy blooms in forgotten shadows

The heavy rain and dark skies seems to match my mood, today. I was happy! Yesterday was amazing. Seeing my peer trans women at each other's throats over gatekeeping, one-upsmanship, and somehow *supporting AI use* is kinda pushing me away from conversations with others right now. Time for a book 📚
Rewatching Trek while I'm periodically a captive audience a few times a day, now. I am on VOY S3E2 "Flashback". I absolutely adore the Excelsior bridge, especially the control interface.
1,1,0 Something about HRT altered my tastes. Beef (and pork) are now revolting to me.

Get yourself a girl who makes you cry those warm, wet tears of joy. Become your real self so you can cry them. 💖🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
I knew for certain at 29. At 40, I did something about it. A year later and I'm the happiest I've ever been, and my spouse and I are doing better than ever. Be your authentic self 💖

My spouse just made the most wonderful dinner of tortellini, portobello mushroom, tomato and spinach with a balsamic sauce. I'm the luckiest girl alive 💖🥰😋
mmmm yes.... obtaining a new and cute little notebook will cure me of my mental illness and turn me into a shark eyed type a productivity megafucker... the last several cute new notebooks didn't, but this one will be different, surely.
Ok, that was really, really cute. And it's a little blurry all of a sudden. Why is my pillow damp?
Finally actually started reading Galaxy. Now I want cake 🎂🎂🎂
My spouse caught a great photo of my brief couch excursion. I absolutely love my hair 💖
Pants! Ok, sweatpants, but at least I'm making progress. The cute bunny socks help, too 🐰🧦
I made it all the way to the kitchen and back today. My body is still not used to the blood being in my legs and not my head, though. I needed help getting back, but it felt good to see another space for a bit
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.
When you can feel that pain on oxy, you really don't want to feel it without

What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
Yes, I'm a decade late. Legion has been an amazing watch while bed-bound. This is such a good show. I need more crazy experimental things like this. (No spoilers, I'm not through all of season 2 yet)
I went through the diagnostics for this 6 years ago, because I suspect I have it. It was negative. At the time, my egg had been cracked for years but I hadn't told anyone. I wonder if my diagnosis would be different if I was retested, now that I present binary female.
For decades, ADHD was viewed as a childhood condition that mostly affected boys. Researchers now know ADHD manifests differently in girls, but many still go undiagnosed until adulthood.
To say the obvious part first: if your kid tells you they're trans, they're virtually guaranteed to be right. But there really is a broader point here, and it needs to be said plainly at this point: puberty blockers--the compromise position on HRT--are unneeded. Just let them start HRT.
I get Neelix, now. When he was stuck in sickbay in an isomorphic restraint, he asked for the room to be decorated. I want to cover every surface in flowers 💐
My first (half) cup of coffee in two weeks. It's hard to drink hot beverages at this angle. ☕💖
Nerve reconnection "zaps" are getting bothersome. Especially since my brain still doesn't know what's going on 🧠🤯⚡
if someone is slightly too nice to me I assume they're trying to kill me and that's an actual person. every time an AI has told me I was smart it made me want to smash it with a hammer
Heart-shaped plushies make excellent cervical spine pillows. A cutout to cradle your head, and a lift of the spine to drop the shoulders.
Apparently my body is freakish and is spitting out stitches and staples before I even hit two weeks 🤷♀️
