Yes, I feel that way sometimes. But I try to keep in mind that humans are innately social creatures, and I shouldn’t shut myself off like that. It helps to have pre-planned events with people I know I like, like playing a TTRPG or board game, or volunteering.
Costa Rica! The biodiversity and abundance of nature is astoundingly beautiful.
Eh, not as a kid. I got a phone in high school once I got my driver’s license. But yeah, parents are a blast, huh?
How are you feeling about cops and the government these days?
I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t Nature and its subject-specific varieties considered some of the most reputable and prestigious scientific publications?
Yeah, my parents made us leave our cell phones on the kitchen counter so they could read our texts every night, and they installed software on our computers that took screenshots every 5 seconds.
I wonder why I have issues with authority figures and privacy?
“Gruntled”! The wonderful opposite of disgruntled
And “gruntling” is an excellent old-timey word for baby pigs
Yes, but that would mean that logic has any bearing on what the Supreme Court decides to do
Pretty good! I got my estrogen prescription from Planned Parenthood! It was surprisingly easy. The people there were all super nice and really good about my name and pronouns. The only downside was the “protestor” who tried to tell me about other places for healthcare “for women and men” eye roll
Now I just need to figure out how to give myself injections. Slightly nervous about that, since I’ve never done it before and don’t want to fuck up my dose.
That’ll have to wait a little while though, because I’m going on vacation with my wife’s family. Not incredibly excited about that, because while the vacation will be nice, I’m not out to any of them yet. My mother in law is nosy and starting to pry about my shaving, painted nails, long hair etc. And I know the misgendering is going to wear on me, but it’s not their fault. I’m determined to have a good relaxing time as much as possible though!
Pretty good! I’m off of work for the next week, and I got my prescription for estrogen from Planned Parenthood this week. They were super friendly and helpful! Now I just have to learn how to give myself injections lol
This is awesome, thank you for your hard work! Lack of Voyager support for Piefed was the only thing holding me back - piefed.blahaj.zone, here I come!
Has Sam Altman never heard of parenting books?
There is a dedicated ICD-10 medical code for “eye pecked out by a chicken”. They’re vicious little fuckers.
Idiotic. This whole country just rolls over for whatever capital wants, the wishes of the people be damned.
Yes! That was my favorite moment of the episode haha
Because I already did all the fun things and got fat, so now I need to make up for all the healthy things I didn’t do before
Thanks :) I love going to the Goodwills in the nicer parts of town, you can find some great stuff there! There are a few near me that are usually good bets
Thanks for the tips! It sounds like a thrifting day is in store for me soon :)
Are there any particular styles I should try to avoid? I guess I’m just worried about giving away that I don’t have a clue what I’m doing lol
They are kinda like that. If you aren’t born in the Catholic Church, it’s kind of a pain to get in. You have to do classes for at least a year and have someone sponsor you. It makes sense - they take their belief seriously and want to make sure that people joining know what they’re getting into
