@mcmoots@a.weirder.earth didn't see this in time but happy pie day!

I have been in a tea shop for an hour+ and the shop owner has never once gendered her child despite having referred to them like several times even ten minutes this is amazing.

@ElectricKeet I am not sure. The ones I have generally have sleeves that are slightly too long for me, but I'm a few inches shorter than you so. :3

@ElectricKeet Let me sing you the ballad of "we carry plus sizes up to 5X but what we really mean when we say 5X is size 14". *raaaaaage*

@ElectricKeet I have had good luck with Wilson's Leather Outlets in the past (in meatspace though). They have sections of women's not-leather coats in the back that goes up to 3x/4x.

@typhlosion the responses I've seen basically fall into one of two camps:

1) omg $10000 for cardboard what kind of idiot would buy it this is stupid
2) omg I wish I had this when I was a kid but hey it's not too late!!!

Healthcare, Body Shaming, Medical Trauma, MH (--) 

Currently the only way for me to get HRT covered by insurance is to switch my PCP to someone 1) whose clinic is 45 minute from me and 2) reminds me very much of the doctor I noped the hell away from for reasons including large amounts of body shaming and making very inappropriate comments about my body while doing examinations.

Casting net wider and reaching out to more people now, but honestly I just want to go cry in a corner forever right now.

@auntiekiki@witches.town Amazing Grace to Pokemon theme is a good classic.

Consent, MH (???) 

Adding to list of things I need to talk to my therapist about: why am I making myself read the comments of an article about that startup that is using blockchains as a substitute for consent?

Work Vent 

I got home from exhausting work trip and what do I find?

The weekly work memo that used to be plain text but then became a Publisher file attached to e-mail got worse.

It's now a kanban board.

It's a read-only kanban board where each column is a section of the memo (e.g., this week's events) and what used to be a bullet point (e.g., Tues 4PM all hands) is now a card, and because the columns are tiny a one/two line thing is now a wall of text.

I can no longer even.

Lewd? 

@faeylayn it means I am cute af during the day and sleep a lot at night

MH (+) 

Honestly this has been the most emotionally exhausting weekend I've had since pretty much forever.

I feel extremely vulnerable and terrible but also actually hopeful for the first time in a long time.

Also I may have said that I'm happy last night. At least for a moment. I don't remember saying that in over a year maybe more before last night.

Part of me wants to do more Fun Things now that I am done with work. But I think I'm just going to take a bath and sleep.

Bathroom and The Using Thereof, TMI!, CBT (The Kink Kind) 

Like there's still that weird "omg a public women's bathroom is the most sacred of spaces only Real Women (tm) and maybe their castrated servants may enter and you have gone through neither ritual so if you go in the gods will smite you" thing going on in my head.

Except you know it's a fucking gross public bathroom and it's way the hell more forsaken than sacred.

Bathroom and The Using Thereof, TMI? 

Ended up using the girls room after everyone else has left the conference or ran to the last session. Victory!

Afterwards though I just used the men's rooms at malls / tourist attractions because hiking up a dress and a skirt to pee at a urinal is so much easier than waiting six hours for the women's room.

Why is peeing so complicated.
