Hi! I’ve been extremely tired this week and nearly forgot that I was hosting one so I’m writing this last minute! I couldn’t think of anything so I’m going to write about one of my hamsters who is not Biggs; Meredith
Meredith was another hamster of mine from a few years ago during the early days of COVID, and she was the absolute sweetest little creature I had ever met. Very friendly, very gentle. She loved exploring anywhere I put her into and never bit me okay she did once ever. She was an absolute sweetheart and bundle of love and was with me during some of the rougher parts of my life
She unfortunately died very suddenly out of the blue one day at a terribly young age showing no symptoms of anything wrong with her prior, which breaks my heart to this very day
I never had her as long as any other hamster of mine but I don’t think I had any other hamster touch my heart in quite the same way. I miss you, girl

I got approved for bottom surgery!!!
Hurray!
So glad for you!
Congrats!! Excited for you!!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
So happy for you! It is one of the best things to ever happen to me, even only a month and a half out.
Apparently my partner’s queer org got kicked from their original space due to being too anti-genocide and pro-trans that it made the libs who owned that space lib out.
pro-trams
Fuck liberals and their hatred for public transport.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand i’m thinking of how my crush nerds out about her favorite Soviet locomotive again lol
Is it even legal to be so cool?
I have no idea, all i know is that i want to order a Uhaul truck and start packing when she starts going off about city planning
Fixed. Lol.
Came out to all of my friends today, they all knew me as a trans nb they/them
Now they know me as a woman
When random people I don’t know well bring up trans rights stuff while talking to me I’m always a bit suspicious that they clocked me and that that’s why they brought it up.
me with my two friends that i will definitely make within the next two years inshaallah
Came out to her. She is accepting. Talked about it a little bit. I didn’t tell her my name though. Don’t know why. But yea, went well and I feel good about that. Its nice not feeling so alone.
Was I always a woman? Did I become one?
The secret is my pre-transition gender is whichever is funnier for the joke I’m making right now.
Been reading too much Dorley Hall because I went “this is so Bethany coded”
I was leaving the bathroom as some guy was going in and he had to go back out to double check that he was in the men’s bathroom lol
Reminds me of this time I was going to the restroom, and there was this old white dude behind me going there, too. I was thinking that he was just going to wait his turn and go in after I left, but when we got to the bathroom doors, he just tries to go into the men’s restroom first, and I let him. I wait outside for him to get out, and he sees me standing there and says, “Oh, you were trying to use the men’s restroom?” with a pretty baffled face and tone. And I just responded with a masculine voice and said, “Yeah…”
What gets me is that this was much earlier on in my transition.
On this note, fuck these gendered single-person restrooms especially.
Injection time
Taking an E injection feels like taking a drag off a cig in the first warmth of morning sun on a cold day after work
You’re telling me that you clocked in for this shift BEFORE your injection?? You’re injecting on communal time???
You’re telling me that you were clocked in for twenty whole minutes before your injection?? So the commune got twenty minutes of you not being your best self??
Self. Crit. Now.
wrote 3 pages for a group project and then i see it in the final report and it’s not at all what i wrote. I ask my group member whether he edited it using chatgpt (clearly he did because it was trash), and he says he “tried to enrich it”. god help me avoid homicide this semester
Ugh. Even forgetting the chatgpt thing, I did a group assignment a few years ago where one of the obvious tasks to carve off and split the work up was way smaller than the rest, so I volunteered to do it and also take everyone else’s notes and write the rest of the report from that (so they would still do the most labour intensive part, but my contribution would be somewhat more even, worked pretty well) and I felt bad about reworking people’s writing in that context. I can’t even imagine taking someone else’s work and doing anything more than basic spelling and grammar edits.
In my more charitable moments I think chatgpt does have its uses (and it’s apparently not as wasteful as I had been led to believe in terms of energy use), but stuff like this and all the lawyers apparently using it to do their job really make me question that instinct.
Utterly disgusting. I assume your school policy/prof is pro-AI? If not I’d just tell the prof and watch the fireworks
how many yall like E?
Me. It’s lovely, every moment and every change is blissful euphoria.
I don’t know but I hate T to death. So hopefully.
it’s alright. wish it did more tbh
dysphoria
If it would just fix my voice too I would be so much happier
the hormone or the letter?
big fan of both tbh
Pretty cool. Looking forward to E 2.
I got called to set up a gynecologist appointment in a few months 😵💫
My lips too small; my teeth too big. I’m a mouse girl now.
I was just reflecting on the day I came out to myself as a trans woman and I feel all the emotions flooding back to me and now I’m sitting here in bed bawling the happiest tears I’ve cried in a long time. This feels like pure trans joy and catharsis.
family nonsense
My mom has been absolutely horrendous to me ever since I came out. She’s refused to talk about trans stuff with me even though I have asked 6 times now. She has avoided it every single time. She’s been guilt tripping me and acting like I’m being unreasonable and needy when literally all I’m asking is for her to call me by my name, or at the very least tell me why she won’t. It’s been a thing for like a month and a half now. Since she was ignoring me when I was trying to talk to her, I ignored her when she needed information from me, and it led to a 6 hour inconvenience on her part. Now she’s gotten it into her head that she’s been nothing but supportive and great this whole time and I’ve gone no contact at the slightest push back from her, when in actuality, I actively tried to talk to her for a month and a half and she ignored me. I guess she’s getting what she wants, because I’m not planning on talking to her again after this. She’s acting like I never gave her a chance, but I did. That was it. And she stepped all over it.
