French fries in a milkshake is the only thing I can think of haha. I’m not terribly adventurous with food. I can really easily just get the ick and have to throw out whatever I’m eating entirely. Probably the ‘tism

I’m sorry anon 🫂 It is really hard to navigate these kinds of relationships with family. It’s unfair that it feels like we have to sometimes accept these uncomfortable and hurtful things. I try really hard to focus on intent and giving grace to people who are genuinely trying, but also remember that we can take space when it’s overwhelming

I’d like to spend more time in Europe in general! I’ve been to Spain a couple times but I would love to see France and Italy. I’d like to see more of Germany. I’ve never been to Netherlands or the Nordic countries. Ireland. I’ve also never been to Asia or Oceania at all. Basically anywhere that I’m not illegal or in danger to go, I would like to see it

Someone left some shitty transphobic comments about my body 🙄 Don’t know what the point of that is tbh. How insecure must you be to want to tear down others? I’ve never felt more attractive in my life. I doubt that anon can say the same 💁🏻♀️

Like 5’9”ish. 5’10”. (~176-177cm). Sadly much taller than the women’s average here and also much taller than other women in my family. My mom is like 5’3” (160cm) so I’m a giant next to her

I do not. I canceled my Netflix a while ago. I mostly watch anime tbh. I finished Horimiya recently and The Girl Next Door Spoils Me Rotten. Also currently watching Demon Slayer and Vinland Saga. Explosion On This Wonderful World has been cute. Oh In/Spectre I saw recently and that was good.

Apple TV+, Extrapolations is good and pretty wild. It gives Black Mirror vibes kinda. Shrinking was cute. Big Door Prize is alright but I haven’t been like hooked on it.

Lmao, something something character limits. Also, what counts as an ex? I feel like the older I get some of the relationships I’ve had feel a lot less meaningful and being completely honest I don’t remember the names of everyone I’ve dated anymore 😅 I think the most important question I ask myself about my past relationships is if I learned and changed and grew, whether that means I fell short as a partner or learned not to accept less.

Honestly I’d rather fucking not. I know how to fire a rifle if it comes down to it, but I’m old and have problems with my breathing

I don’t know :( it’s frustrating and it makes me sad because I love California and I love Sacramento and I hate being afraid that the rest of the county will affect us. I really want to believe that there will be a breaking point and it get better somehow

Oof. I’m so sorry, anon. Hope it gets better 🤞

I’ll play it obsessively for like a few days straight. Like losing sleep, just pouring hours into it. And then I’ll forget it exists for a year or so lol

Oh noooo. Is it weird that I think this is probably only appropriate to use with someone who does have a chronic health condition?

Not sure I understand this statement. Trans people are more likely to be unemployed, poor, or face homelessness. Four times more likely to be assaulted, including sexual assault. 3 times as likely to go hungry. That’s before getting to the issue of accessing healthcare, so there are some big material needs issues in our demographic. Access to counseling is super important, but given the choice between therapy and a safe home with food and HRT, I know which one is more important to me

It’s understandably difficult to feel like part of an out group. Remember not all cis girls get periods either. But there’s also other symptoms associated with a period besides just menstruation that many trans girls do experience. Might be worth tracking changes in sleep, mood, appetite, watching for symptoms like headaches, night sweats, dry skin, diarrhea, stomach cramps, fatigue, acne. You may be having a period, it’s just much less obvious if you’re only looking for menstruation

Mexican on my dad’s side and Irish/English on my mom’s side

Haha thanks, anon. You might not see it, but I do make an effort to hand out compliments liberally :) but in case you haven’t gotten one from me lately:

You look cute, you did a great job, and I’m proud of you! I’m glad you exist and I appreciate that you use your time to make this world just a little bit nicer to live in. Thank you 🩷

I’m not gonna post the image here, but hopefully the response makes sense without it:

I don’t think we should speculate on or out someone as being LGBTQIA+ (full acronym here because it’s an important reminder of who all is included) regardless of whether or not they are a good person. It sucks that there are queer people who use their power to hurt other queer people, but I think it’s important that we don’t use queer acceptance as a reward for good behavior.

It’s wild that there’s enough of us for it to be kind of a trope, but ultimately we are a minority within a minority within a minority. I’m not sure I have helpful advice since I’m in kind of a unique and privileged position with work. It is definitely frustrating to face transphobia, homophobia, sexism, and ableism all at once when you’re just trying to get your work done. I’m sorry that you’re having to deal with it all 🫂 I rely pretty heavily on therapy personally

I could probably do a whole thread on what to do about Christian nationalism, but I don’t think that we can fight oppression with more opression and especially not against a foe who fantasizes about being an underdog. Lady justice is blind. We should create laws to protect ourselves from religious extremism, but singling out a specific religious group in the law isn’t the way to do it imo

Haha well the imposter syndrome is powerful so I don’t always feel particularly skilled or accomplished. Sometimes I get stuck on something and I feel like a total noob. I spend a lot of time reading documentation or other people’s code to understand things. I’m not sure I deserve to be put on a pedestal or anything 😅 but thank you for the compliment 😊
