re: No eye-contact selfie, trying out my first swimsuit 

@Alistor Having shorts made me feel a lot better in my first swimsuit too! Yours looks like it's fitting better than mine did! Having to do trial and error fitting sucks!

My Trans Experience, CW: coming out, family 

Missed my gay cousin’s birthday yesterday. So I sent him a text today.

And then my bravery core overloaded hard enough to override my fingers. And I justified the warnings in the logs by thinking “of all the people you’re related to, He’s probably the safest”. So I hit send on the second message.

His response? “Cool. I’m starting a Pride clinic in Cleveland”

He’s always gotta try and 1-up me. <^_^>

This might go better than I’ve been fearing.

@orrery What'd he do now? Is he being creepily eccentric again?

@Leucrotta That is awesome! That looks so freaking cool! the lighting and shadows take really strong advantage of your inking style and the muted color palette really sets the mood for the scene well too! Nice job!

@orrery @Soreth @makyo@snouts.online Why am I getting paged for this? This isn't even my team. Unsubscribe (a fanfic published on Ao3)

@Leucrotta What is the piece of art you've done that most matches up with your expectations of your own skill/interests/ability? Put another way: What art of your own creation can you say you're unconditionally proud of?

@Motodrachen Do human binary genders really apply well to allistic folks? or are they just getting by on societal inertia?

Kelsey: probably derived from an Old English given name Ceolsige, which meant "ship's victory"

Astra: Greek meaning: "star"
Norse meaning: "divine strength"
Latin meaning: "From astralis meaning of the stars, derived from the Greek astron meaning star"

Kelsey Astra: Victorious Starship.

I love my name.

re: CW: Transition, coming out, pulling the trigger. 

@zx3 *tests leg* Naw, the weld is actually fine. But there is web of micro fractures on the internal frame. This is salvageable and reparable. Should have this ready for pickup in 7-10 T-standard days.*offers itemized repair estimate, including free diagnostics, 90-month repair warranty, and a friends discount*

CW: Transition, coming out, pulling the trigger. 

Yeah. This seems like the perfect time to do this. 35 years of uptime next Saturnday. My dad is getting his dialysis shunt installed on the 3rd.

I'm sick of seeing Drafts (1) in my email. I want to be me, and I can't keep putting it off.

Mom deserves to know why I've been sounding happier when I call her.

@starkatt I might start calling you a Hanar fox out of reflex, but that would be an interesting twist on language use!

@zx3 Convoluted reference at least 2 layers deep? We should talk more. I figure we could be pretty darn good friends.

CW: Personal health, HRT, progress 

Latest labs are back. Results:

AC1 is down to pre-diabetes range, so my diet controls have been working.

My T levels are still elevated, so I'm doubling up on my T-blockers. I should probably switch to my insurance's mail-in pharmacy, so that I can get bigger supplies.

Weight is still trending downward.

Boob Weather Update: A top-shelf is now visibly forming, with accompanying jiggle physics during jogging and stair animations. Also, OW!

As a dog person:

Cones are not for shame.

They are cones of protection.

There is no shame in having been cared for.

Fellow dogs: Wear your cones proudly and without stigma!
