personal worldbuilding notes, calendar/date format shenanigans inspired by a straight up shitpost
Northern Isarthakan calendar (most of Krasma and umAŕneth, Faekak, Tovelen and Ïslekhante in north-central Dorzhen, also used worldwide):
322 or 321 days long divided into 6 seasons consisting of 3 months* (17 to 18 days) each, with the spring and fall equinoxes as their own separate days, with the leap day in mid-winter
typical date formats: yyyy/s/m/dd (worldwide), yyyy/mm/dd (Kǁingarúp-Egyashko-K'epeħa), dd/m/s/yyyy (umVarlakh-thalKanneqith)
Southern Isarthakan calendar (most of Dorzhen, Øttivileq {western umAŕneth), the Ciskrasmic Isles, Auakea, Uyatkuch and Dhaalettu in south-central Krasma):
same year length, but subdivided into 14 months* of 23 days each with one clipped off of the first month in short years.
typical date formats: yyyy/mm/dd (most areas), dd/mm/yyyy (Øttivileq and the Ciskrasmic Isles), mm/yyyy/dd (Auakea, where even the people who live there have no idea why they don't just use a more sensible system)
* Isarthaka doesn't actually have any satellites beyond the occasional temporary asteroid caught in orbit around the planet; these periods are completely arbitrary as a result.
insomnia, complaining about neighborhood (-, obviously)
ah yes, spring is right around the corner which means it's time to be systematically deprived of sleep by the metric asston of pigeons out here again who perch practically right outside my window and make themselves heard to the entire general area 🙃
why do people keep these flying rats for fun and why do I have to share a neighborhood with multiple of those people
dreams, HRT (~-)
Yesterday: an intensely vivid dream involving the possibility of moving to another country, closer to friends.
Today: another intensely vivid dream this time involving me finally getting to start HRT after all the bullshit I've had to suffer from the local gender clinic in the past year, after a total of four years of waiting.
I really appreciate that you're trying to bring me some happiness brain, but it just makes waking up from these suck all the more.
Opportunity (~)
Opportunity was launched all the way back when I was in my last year of elementary school, and has been on Mars for more than half my life. It's... almost unfathomable that it's really come to an end now, after a mission that was only supposed to take like three months in the first place - I can't say I don't feel sorry for it in a way, going out not with a bang, but being consumed by the dust of the very planet it was made to explore.
Sleep soundly, little rover. You did amazingly well. 💙
trans gatekeeping (~+)
update: fortunately didn't need to pull out the big guns to push things in a more favorable direction, one last appointment before HRT most likely happens
trans gatekeeping (~+)
way too many previous appointments to justify not being on HRT already: check
letter full of complaints mirroring mine to a T from the country's biggest LGBT advocacy organization: check
credible threat of self medication: check
backup plan in case I get denied anyway: check
fucks given: completely gone
