I feel naff, wanna sleep more

Think I'm gonna try and zone out with more TW: 3 Kingdoms

Gotta get Liu Bei that throne (more likely one of his sprogs at this point)

Respond to all interrogations as to whether you, your body or your needs are 'real' with a weary sigh that no, they are only shadows of their true forms cast onto this flawed material plane

I think this post is an important piece of trans history more ppl should know about: [CW Suicide, Transphobia, Medicalization] http://takingsteps.blogspot.com/2007/01/seam-of-skin-and-scales.html

This piece is very dear to me also.. For similar reasons, and along similar lines, though not trans-specific. (sorry, I can''t find a non-image pdf of it hosted freely atm): https://www.englishwithtuttle.com/uploads/3/0/2/6/30266519/cohen_monster_culture__seven_theses__3-20.pdf

There was a moment during laser hair removal session today where the nurse went "Oh, looks like there's a loose wire.."

And I spent the next few seconds stifling the bone-deep conviction that I'd ended up the target in a Hitman level

hiii..!

So like

After surgery and the GRC was done I got discharged, never heard from the GIC again, etc

Now a few years later, I'm wondering. Cuz.. US trans people apparently see an endo every once in a while? And that sounds.. Uh, sensible?

But this is the NHS, so.. I imagine doing so over here would involve getting re-referred, put back on the waiting list, etc.

Does anyone have any experience of longterm/post-transition trans healthcare under the NHS? Is that a thing that.. Exists, structurally at all?

Anyone had to put a stake through the heart of the Windows update auto-restarter lately, and know of the most recent viable method?

Mine's reanimated itself after various regedits and w/e have apparently been patched out, and now every time I go to make a cup of tea it pops up the doomsday clock

I just saw a top online sold as "frilly, distressed"

100% mood

Sometimes Nottinghamshire just seems like it's going out of its way to be bucolic

Like it overheard someone saying "Britain doesn't really look like in the postcards" and got really worked up about it

NSFW/SFW is a social construct, pals, and not one without pitfalls and power dynamics.

Which identities and their associated traits and behaviours are 'Wholesome, Fine, Self-Expression"

And which are "That's Sexual, Keep It Hidden"

..Is politically loaded, culturally rooted, constantly shifting, and highly weaponizable.

Read up on enough queer history and you'll get a looong timeline of these shifting boundaries and identities

And how people smack each other with 'em to great effect

Cuz:
- Longbat is long, and the cushion's for a standard chair with shorter length, so I had to pad out the back seperately
- Now the rim covers are Green, there's nowhere near enough Purple in the ~aesthetic~. (the standard cushion is in Melancholic Institutional Grey, too)
- My chair didn't come with sideguards, so clothes get dirtied by tires too much. Can do sideguards mounted on the cushion with sufficient interfacing & structure.

I've been sewing a cushion cover for my wheelchair lately, and am trying to remember to like, take photos semi-regularly.
