This is a PSA for any of you going through HRT. Please when you are prescribed anything from another health care provider. Check the potential interactions yourself. They may not know how to treat transgender patients, and they definitely don’t have time to do research for you.

Last week I started having muscle pain and stiffness that quickly became severe. I blamed the progesterone, and discontinued its use. My symptoms over the next four days got worse with occasional 8/10 pain, elevated blood pressure, and difficulty walking. I never thought much about what I got prescr

I got a potentially dangerous combination of Clobetasol, Triamcinolone, and Ketoconazole from a dermatologist. This combination even without hrt can suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, potentially causing adrenal insufficiency and other severe endocrine issues.

Then in my case I was also on estradiol, progesterone, spironolactone. Those of course are already messing with my endocrine system, but I had been on them for months without issue.

FA being told by advertisers that the most mundane of art is just too risqué to work with should be a good indicator why trying making your fandom squeaky clean to appease people, who will never be happy, is a shitty idea

Band Sketch What do you think the name of the band should be? I sat down this evening just wanting to work on an icon… oh well. #furryart #sketch #singing #dragon #female #arwen

I got a new primary doctor who will take my transition more seriously. She’s starting me on progesterone; I’m told it might make me moody:-p. It’s crazy next appointment we’ll be talking consultations for bottom surgery. It’s two years out in some highly sought after places.

My Audio Dork Journey. I found one of the models I really wanted in the wild (WM-F200). It’s not perfect and it’s as old as I am. Next I’m sending it to Prell Electronics for restoration. #walkman #vintageaudio #cassette

My thrifting got out of hand today. But here’s to owning my own media. I was actually on the hunt for a cassette player because I sometimes get on with a digital copy from Bandcamp. #physicalmedia #compactdiscs #thrift

There’s three data centers going up around me. I did my best to pull out of investments associated with AI: which is like trying to find a hundred dollar bill with no cocaine on it in 1988. I’m powerless to influence anything. I think my escape plan will be to move to Port Angeles and buy a sailboat

Venom sucks! It’s so stupid. I’m not physically damaged. There’s just protein making my nerves fire pain signals. I got hit by a hornet on my big toe, and it still hurts 12hrs later.

Looking for PNW Native Artist! I ran across a furry artist that worked in a traditional style last year. Does anyone know them? I believe they were a member of the S’Klallam tribe. #pnwart #indigenous #furryart #furryartist

I did some cleaning today, and personally feel better. Tictok account deleted and I moved money out of funds that were heavily invested in AI. I’m sure it’s not perfect, but it feels good.
