I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they’ll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here’s one for each day of the next week.
Monday
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block
Tuesday
Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks
Wednesday
Fred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread
Thursday
A blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?
Friday
The great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes
Saturday
If you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully
Sunday
Luke’s duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke’s duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes
If you want something normal sounding to say instead, try the Harvard Sentences. Or read a book to someone!

Misgendering, drama in LGBT spaces (not super heavy though).
Went to the local gay/LGBT bar last night for a bit. My gf wore a skirt and tights going out, which was their first time doing that at the bar. She had worn a skirt to work before, but this was the first time doing it in “public” I supposed. Overall, it was pretty chill. The bar itself is kinda lame (the drinks suck), but there were friends there so was fun to hang out and connect. Sunday is their drag open stage, so that was also fun, although there was a bit of drama. Apparently, one of the drag kings is a conservative, and heard that they were being bad-mouthed for being a conservative and confronted my trans masc friend there (also the drag king is friends with the trans masc’s mom who he still lives with, so yeah). I chatted a bit with one of my other trans masc friends whose style I am so jealous of, but he was pretty impressed that I did leatherwork (my gf showed off their spiked collar I made for them), so I hope the feeling is mutual. I can’t wait to finish up some pieces this week and get longer laces for my knee-highs so I can debut a killer outfit next weekend.
A negative thing that happened, was my gf did get misgendered by the bartender incidentally, and I feel guilty since I kinda forgot to check in with them about it. I think that it was corrected/resolved, but I need to reach out and make sure they’re okay.
Serial Experiments in getting Laid
Today was a good day. Saw all my favorite work peeps today, and got to hang out one on one with two of them I’m out to. Which was very nice.
Still have been on the verge of tears all day and idk why :cri
I guess just E.It is frustrating to me how awkward and unsure I feel about how to talk with people about it, what to talk about, I don’t know if that makes sense.
Its funny to me how many of the people I like don’t like each other. The two people I got to spend time with today and was super excited about don’t like each other. (idk if this comes across the right way) I kinda wonder if I get along with kinda unlikeable people, or at least like people that others struggle to get along with.
I am so, so exhausted though.
HOLY FUCK why am I crying like nonstop jesus
You probably have a lot of crying to catch up on if youre like me
This still gets me sometimes. “Why am I crying? Oh right, estradiol.”
I kind of like it though.
13·3 days agoMy mother has called my blahaj “he” and my immediate internal reaction was “that’s wrong” and I’m wondering on the implications of that.
ⓘ This user is suspected of being a cat. Please report any suspicious behavior.
Mine is a he
My two are he/they, and my partner’s mini-blahaj has any/all pronouns.
I spent all day crying at movies… It was… A lot… Ams exhausted… Arf, but a friend showed me how to write my name in arabic script and thats cool; Its been on my list of languages to learn for a while.
I usually do my best crying while listening to songs
I’d do it more often if I had more free time tbhthese movies just kinda hit hard. It was dawn her dad and the tractor, v for vendetta, and palestine 36. By the end i had no more tears left.
I met my love by the gas works croft
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Kissed my girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town
Some people say they get more bisexual after transition. I’m only getting more lesbian.
Same here used to have a preference for men now am totally unattracted to them
:waow-based: honestly don’t know if I’ve heard that before
I have heard some people say they didn’t like the idea of being in a relationship with men as a man, but as a woman it was more of a thing. For me that does not matter, I like femininity. Enbies and feminine men also do it for me, though
Same. And like, every now and then i wonder if theres some mythical man out there id be attracted to. Then i spend time around men and its just like nah, not happening.
+1
real
Some guy started a conversation with me, stared down at my tits for a solid 2-3 seconds mid-convo just kept talking like no big deal, and then resumed eye contact like that didn’t just fucking happen. I’m used to covert glances and quick peeks but this is a new level of audacity for me.
Im biting the bullet (no pun intended) and buying the materials I need to get my .22 back into working condition (and then some lol). I got it back in '20, shot it a couple of times, tinkered with it a little, and a teensy weensy itty bitty lifechanging emotional event occurred and I kinda forgot about it amidst the whole “I gotta unfuck myself also I’m transitioning” thing that followed. Replacing the sights on a traditional style rifle is like… hard because it involves hand fitting and math that is extremely poorly explained and so the ones I put onto the rifle were totally off and unusable in conjunction with a scope rail. I think I did the math right this time. I thought about glass bedding the thing but I think that will have to wait for later.
Also I’m dyeing the wood blue, just for fun.
Hell yeah, .22s are fun and I wish you luck with your improvements.
Going to the store for hair product, then might fuck around and shave my legs??
Also any experiences with IPL devices? I’d like to start addressing the actual growth process but laser/electrolysis are a bit pricey for me atm and epilating would apparently be really bad for my keratosis pilaris
Protip: if you get an epilator get the kind that can also be a regular shaver. Theyre pricier but this way youre not SOL should you give up on epilation altogether.
Source: me, someone who gave up on epilating
IPL can’t do face or genitals, so that’s a big limitation you might want to consider.
I’m not so concerned about the gennies at this point. face would be nice but i figure i could always do that separately
Having smooth legs is really nice.
Sadly the affordable IPL devices aren’t very powerful, so if you want permanent reduction you’re probably better off saving the money to put towards laser/electrolysis at a later date.
I know a lot of the efficacy depends on the color of your body hair. I think mine might be borderline
What exactly did you want to accomplish with the IPL?
i mean reduction and slowed regrowth of body hair, right? I don’t expect it to be total destruction or anything
Fair enough. If you want to make them more effective, you can try going over the same small area multiple times in rapid succession.
3 months on hrt. Horny et. al.
spoiler
I keep getting hornier, like I just saw a painting and had to stop looking at it… Which is kind of nice because it feels different now. Better. So long as I can avoid the bottom dysphoria in the process! And like… wtf is this maternal instinct stuff? Cat kneads boob? MUST HAVE BABIES! BREASTFEEDING! I never had any drive to have kids. I still don’t actually want any but like wth?
spoiler
Yeah, like 3 years in and I only ever have gotten more horny. It dies feel very different for me too! I like it
Formatting thing, you have to have some text on the same line as

With all your text on the next line like you did
Oh woops!! Sorry
ordered some new paints for a minis kit I’ll (hopefully) be starting on soon, and they legit sent me 6x what I ordered. like they just charged me for 1 of everything but sent me 6. it’s nice to have all of this primer but I have no idea what I’m gonna do with so much green ^_^;
bottom surgery stuff and horny
I have a couple more days before surgery!!
I finally got to try the clone a dick thing. I had to get more alginate powder. I dunno what was going on, I think I was literally too thick??? Anyway got one semi successful cast of my gock.
spoiler
That’s super cool. I hope it work’s well for you, both the surgery and the cloned gock. Can the cast be reused? Usually you have to destroy it to remove the finished product (I did some resin products using silicone casts)
spoiler
The alginate is good for 3 casts, but then I have a negative cast for later anyway if I wanna make copies. Honestly, Im not like torn up about it not working perfectly and all. With how annoying this process was, its just making me happier that Im getting it turned into a vagina lol. I have friends whove done it and they didnt seem to struggle as much as I have
Well, I hope you will be happier after the process. It sounds super exciting for the ones who want it. Wishing a lot of happiness for you.
Wait, what did I study electrical engineering for if I can’t make my own laser hair removal device? I might actually try this, but that’d be like a whole summer project
Please be safe when fucking around with lasers
That would uh, be a bold project to undertake.
