Oh, I had decent Math teachers and I actually tuned in for those classes. This was not one of those teachers

My average WFH uniform is pajamas

One time in maths class I tuned in and they were talking about politics. And then I go "wait, isn’t this supposed to be a maths class? And the teacher just goes “it can be both”.

That is the only time I ever tuned in for that particular maths teacher. She was not very good

Presses button. Teleports to the moon. “Whelp, that tracks I guess”. Dies of asphyxiation.

Me: My HRT provider is a bunch of fucking vampires, I hate them, they’re so expensive. I should be able to just ask my GP for hormones and then pick them up from the pharmacy the next day. Fuck them.

(I’m sorry what happened when you tried to go get hormones? )

Also me: I love my HRT provider. They’re so compassionate and understanding. I didn’t even get gatekept when I told them I was autistic. Glory be to the vampires, take all my blood, I wasn’t using it for anything important!

Pretending you didn’t hear them often helps. Not always, sometimes they’re right stubborn about it but I’ve been wolf whistled and received some truly odd comments and just not even glanced their direction and most of them do not bother to follow up. They’re looking for a reaction. Don’t make it easy for them

Hell, one time I was out with a group, and they were talking to some kids and they asked if I was a boy or a girl and I straight up ignored them and let the group answer for me. Didn’t even open my mouth. A little scary but I loved the results honestly.

Spread it on your lips and kiss your “boyfriend” on the thighs

I’ve left a lot of friends behind over the years because I rarely put in the effort to maintain a friendship when my effort obviously isn’t being reciprocated, but shout out my best friend from when I was 15 to when I was 25 for ghosting me because he was beefing with someone else entirely and he wanted a clean break from that person.

For about three days before he came back acting like nothing was fucking wrong.

I don’t think about him much anymore, which I suppose is healing. But if his name comes up, I will drop some salt

Gonna be honest, having had the freedom to let it grow wild I’m starting to think its not all its cracked up to be

But having enough available length for pigtails and meatball buns? You can’t put a price on that. So I put up with accidentally pulling my hair that got caught between me and the matress when I stir in the night

Cis girl me would not have my strength of will. Or she’d be an unstoppable nexus of chaotic energy and bad ideas. Neither of which is good

Thanks for the warning. Though yeah, considering they like to titrate you with a low dose to start with that tracks. Probably not even worth trying until they up the dosage

Depends on the trans person. I tend to degender my past self. Which is actually accurate because before I identified as a girl I didn’t really identify as anything with any degree of passion so I consider my past self to be agender and use they/them pronouns for them

In Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games,
one of Amy’s victory lines is “Girl power!”
and one of Sonic’s is “Hedgehog power!”
This implies that Sonic’s gender is
hedgehog

Do you read webnovels or lightnovels. If yes to the latter I’ve really enjoyed “she professed herself pupil of the wise man” in spite of some… shall we say “choices”. That author’s egg is cracking any day now.

If yes to the former, see you on scribblehub, we got all sorts of gender bender and trans stuff there. We got the works of Fern V Bedek, we got whatever Cape and capability is and we’ve also got (ahem) me!

No, no. I just live in one of those silly countries where getting on HRT takes months and costs hundreds. I knew I’d be starting at some point for the past year ish

Lobster too buttery

Like that’s not what you were hoping for but that’s still a win in my book

I’ve been playing this game where I lose a bunch of weight before I start HRT then put it all back on and this time its in cooler places. I started HRT last week but I forgot to end the diet. Oh well.

So in the european union thanks to GDPR we have all these new requirements for encryption of personal data in transit. Which are reasonable on their face. The problem is that nobody knows how to do encryption properly. They’ll put a password on the zip or PDF file during export and the password will be (and I swear I’ve actually encountered this one in the wild) my date of birth in the form mmyy. Fun fact, a decent computer can brute force a 4 digit numeric password in less than a second.

This is called security theater. Its there to make you feel safe. Any incompetent hacker could breeze through it with a chatGPT answer. And ironically we have better systems. See that padlock next to the URL on your web browser? That means your connection to this website is secured by https. That means bad guys can’t see your password just because they’re on the same wifi network as you. That uses asymetric encryption (where the encryption and decryption keys are different and actually unrelated). That’s real security. But I guess that’s only for technical users not the lady from the doctors office.

Real security would be asymetric encryption where only the end users have the encryption and decryption keys, not any of the systems in between like google gmail. Sending via gmail will actually encrypt your data in transit because email can also have SSL protection. But google can still scan your emails, realise you have cancer and push you ads for miracle mineral solution. But use a tool like PGP or GPG to encrypt before sending through gmail… Nobody is seeing your diagnosis without stealing your secret key. And nobody needs to see your secret key to encrypt in the first place.

I watched almost 10 minutes of a youtuber shilling it and my takeaway is “linux for Elon Musk”. The marketing was leaning heavily into “powered by the bedrock of archlinux. Use this and you can have honorary arch cred”. And like, no! As an arch user, I started on ubuntu. It took me years to gain the competencies to be an arch power user. And throughout my learning journey I had the loving embrace of an operating system that didn’t expect me to learn fucking keyboard shortcuts. It ships with a keyboard first tiling window manager, and those are HARSHLY unforgiving. I tried i3 after I’d already moved into my gentoo phase, and I still found it tough and ultimately did not stick with it, realising if I want a keyboard first workflow I can create shortcuts for my stacking window manager and still have the mouse to fall back on. That and its intentional 80s hacker aesthetic just REEKS of I use arch btw elitism. Trash distro. I don’t want ubuntu to stay the face of linux, but I’d rather the title go to an old guard like Fedora, not this poser.

This wants to be the distro you use if you want people to think you’re vewy smart.

Finding out its vibe coded and the creator is an Elon wannabe just reinforces my initial impressions

Hello, 999: I’ve been murdered

Yes. Sorry. I confused ftm and mtf
