I got estradiol pill stickers made! Thanks @deathbystickers.bsky.social

Im joining the collection. (I go by Gem at work. 😂)

My job changed from mostly verify another team did their job right to mostly verifying another team made sure another team did their job right. You wouldn't think that extra layer changes much, but damn is it more stressful. Went from field engineer to program manager 😮‍💨 Suffering from Success.

Ripping my saint bernard's avulsed nail off with plyers was not on my Saturday night bingo card. He seems to be doing better now.

I turned the excess on top around and now I'm Quail Woman!

Doctors orders: Nothing is to rest on the nose until October. Bet.

Im not even gonna read it because my time is better spent elsewhere, but "Trans woman should have any surgery they want but not bottom surgery" is certainly a take. If you're not trans, maybe keep your mouth shut. And even if you are, what someone does with their body is not your business.

I got a Zelda 40th Switch 2 console preorder, but damn is the thing pricey... I might end up just canceling it.

Me earlier today, "I'm fine. I could totally be back at work." Me after running basic errands, "Wow. I definitely overdid it."

Im so ready to rip this fucking thing out of my nose.

I look like I lost a fight with Mike Tyson.

The problem with an "AI Slop" filter for LinkedIn is that all the motivational crap posts that were popular already read like AI.

FFS with Liu part 2 tomorrow! Still ambivalent about the results of part 1. I still have some swelling, meaning it's too early to judge, so I'm trying to remain optimistic. I'm not going to be a model☺️, but maybe it'll lessen the dysphoria.

ben franklin after i tell him about neopussy:

I cannot express this any better.... the frustration is real

"Why dont you call more deadname?" Maybe because it's been 4 years since I changed my name, and you still dont use it. The in-laws who dont particularly like me and are very conservative somehow manage, but my own family can't? 😮‍💨

On my third @scalzi.com book this week. New (to me) Kindle + Humble Bundle have take over my life.

We should invent a kind of canceling where the guy goes away

Razer, I'd love to give you my money for one of your cool collab sets, but I refuse to main a tenkeyless keyboard. I will pay more if I have to, but I need my accountant keys dammit.

Transphobes: They're trying to be pervs in the bathroom! My anxious trans ass: "I gotta make to aim the stream so that it makes enough noise to sound like everyone else in here. Also, gonna wait until it sounds like no one else is in the bathroom to leave the stall and wash my hands. Also..."

On that note, if you haven't seen it, She's the He is now available VOD on YouTube. It's a funny raunchy teen comedy, written, directed and starring trans people. Worth 5$ and 80 minutes of your time.

Im just gonna try to live with as much joy as I can, and transition as long as I can, before the government inevitably comes for me.

Made a new friend this weekend

Vampires fed. Working on my 3rd gallon. 💪

Wife's out of town, gonna get wild tonight! And by wild, I mean order Chipotle and decorate my new FFXIV house since I finally won the plot I've been after! Gemini Alelle, homeowner.

Tiktok ads are convinced I'm pregnant. No, I don't need a preggosaurus shirt and no, I'm not "growing a little firecracker."

Saw "She's the He" in Seattle today. Had some laughs and cried a bit. It's definitely worth seeing if you get the chance.

Bought a box of 100 needles. They dont easily pierce my skin. 🫠 I got my shot done, but im not looking forward to using these.

Took my first fall on the skates. Got a nice, painful streak down my legs to prove it. 😂
