Well, I am out at work now. Had a meeting with the director and HR, who were both supportive. Dressed full femme (with a padded bra) as well as a trans pride flag pin and pronoun pins. Didn’t get any questions at the weekly coffee break thing, but everyone should be in the know.

Realized that a big part of my trouble with my brows is that I definitely shaped them asymmetrically, so one is higher than the other.

Going to have to go pencil thin to even them out, and then let them grow back in.

Work was stressful, but had a great evening. Tried out a new makeup tutorial and a half-dozen outfits/tops. Shared the photos with friends/dates and got a lot of validation.

It’s a bourgeoisie value system. Nothing can be for its own sake or pleasure, but has to be put towards striving to scramble up the class system.

Well, I thought I didn’tbhave the time or energy to start dating, but then I realized that it was such a priority to try to address my emotional needs that I made time and found energy.

I have a bit of work to do, but otherwise it’s a full self-care day. Going to do some cleaning and cooking, epilate, do my E injection, and then get some makeup practice and try out some clothes that I’ve purchased but haven’t got a good feel for.

Erdogan is not going to do shit about the zionist project, at least voluntarily, but it would be something if the zionists gets too carried away in their invasion/occupation of Syria (like bombing Turkish troops) that forces Erdogan to actually do something material.

Someone made a Create: Estrogen submod for Minecraft Create which adds E pills and patches which give you the power to dash jump. I always get a kick out of people trying to make the game more realistic.

This happened to me when I hit a vein once doing my EV injection. For the next couple of days I was on the top of the world, but then the trough hit hard and I was utterly miserable until injection day.

Switched from the cheaper nail polish ($1-2 a bottle) to more expensive polish ($5-6 a bottle) and it’s actually lasting several days with minimal need for repairs. I guess my nails aren’t too long right so that also helps. I was thinking of taking them off actually so I could apply cuticle oil, but then I realized that you can just apply cuticle oil to the cuticles without getting any on the nails so now I feel silly for not oiling them over the last few days.

Also, piercings healed up enough to change out to new ones (8+ weeks). I was getting a bit worried since I started wearing some hinged loops and I was feeling some tenderness/warmth. I switched back to my original studs and I don’t think I have an injection, but my piercings are easier to clean with the studs in so I am going to wear those for a couple of days and then resterilize any new earrings before changing them again.

Yeah this is rough. I just epilate for the most part so I don’t have a to of hair to shave, and then generally only shave body hair 1-2 a week (or before special occasions) I definitely have to shave not in the shower if I want complete coverage.

Really sorry to hear that he turned out to be shitty and kinda gross.

That sounds delicious

I am attracted to cis men as well (in the abstract), I just didn’t think it was worth the risk/effort right now. Glad you got something lined up! That’s exciting Since I live in a relatively rural area, drive times and logistics means I have to schedule them with a significant lead time.

This is a fight between the Federal Reserve and the White House. We’ll see who blinks first.

You correctly identified the vibe. Bioshock Infinite is definitely a tentpole release in the “badass dad” variant of action games. The game is also not that great overall and was incredibly over-hyped when it came out.

In non dating news, my ears have healed up enough (8+ weeks post piercing) for trying out new pairs. Well out last night with some spiked hoops and some chain earcuffs. The earmuffs didn’t match since I didn’t interpret the multipack product description correctly, but I was able to use a pair of those pieces and mod them into a better option (one of the cuffs has a dangling stud, the other a dangling sword.) I didn’t get any specific compliments on those, but got a ton of compliments on my outfit in general, especially my studded PU leather jacket. I honestly thought it was a bit much or a bit corny, but I guess my inner alt/goth girl knows better than my grown-up woman brain.

I was looking into a new outfit, red leather with black spikes, but when searching for pieces I came across a “Descendants 4: Rise of Red” jacket and it destroyed me. I don’t think I can recover from being called out as a poser like this.
