  • Thanks for the share, I would have had no idea =)

  • So happy this guy is still making music =)! Idk. this is a banger of a video and a jam of a song though.

  • Hehehe, I tried looking up pics. Idk why I didn't think of archive. Gave a glance, I thought - these are a great base. I have often thought how much of these things can we reuse as a people if we collected enough of these materials. I feel like this is a premium example of this.

  • Filament? 3D printer? Why do they need to be dry? I am just interested, I don't know. But I'd like to know =)!

    Also yes, shoe box gang rise up! They're just so convenient for storing loose things. Their different branding makes it easy to identify what's got what in it.

  • Oh yeah, this is a good idea too. When I used to work at a mom and pop we did this. I forgot about it until you said something. We did use our own air compressor and bubble wrap (not sure what to call this packaging otherwise, but it's those tubular inflatable packaging materials) for delicate glass materials. Otherwise everything else was just a reused product. Solid suggestion =)!

    Have any visuals for the collages? Would love to see them with my peepers.

  • I had no clue where this was or what this was but I did dig it. It felt kind of like a Windows 98 wallpaper or something. Did you do a hike here? Or just a drive-by.

  • Hehehe! I move a crazy amount, and swear by utilizing cardboard for jank-furniture. I have a cabinet I made to squirrel my things away with a bit of fabric, cardboard, and tape. I love stuff like this. Thanks for the share =)

  • Ooo, got any resources? Pass the deets m'friend! Thank you by the by, for the suggestion =)

  • To be honest a lot of people can't quit alcohol. I am not saying every alcoholic can't. I don't know the science, but I think it can be quite like opiates in which there is a point where maintenance might be required to either sustain/er...step-down from your addiction. I don't know much about it. I just know that I had a friend who drank a handle a day, was bi-polar and unmedicated, and attempted to go sober solo and ended up in the hospital because they ended up having a seizure/puking all over the place. A lot folks who work in kitchens are addicts, and when I worked in them folks were fairly often functional alcoholics and we had a couple folks seizing out too from time to time. Shit is scary, but I do know there's help - so you can like...look for it. Just be careful, this might sound funny but someone I helped personally made a rule to be friendly but not befriend folks at recovery. Another person I knew who went to recovery ended up sort of fueling themselves up with another person's addiction (as if they were each others hypemen) and ended up addicted to opioids before dropping the program. If you want help, there are ways to find it out here. Just gotta take those little baby steps necessary to fuel whatever habit you're trying to form. Good luck!

  • I actually know someone who feels this way and I think it's really to each their own. I think you can be an alcoholic and still meter your drinking in a way that you can be functional. I also think that there are people who have absolutely zero control over their drinking habits and it's actually quite destructive for them to think like this. It really seems to come down to the individual, although I think most addiction revolves around impulse control issues (er, among other things). Which means you could be playing with fire keeping a lax mindset. Most people who have felt the depths of addiction who want to be in recovery (versus active addiction) tend to keep things as sober as possible because of it. I personally agree, that it only takes a little of a "good thing" to turn into a bad thing. I really do know people who can functionally indulge from time to time and not have much issue although in the past they were absolutely monsters.

    I've also known a person who drank themselves to death (literally), an addict from a young age. Another who ran their *life into the ground and ended up homeless and smashed by a semi. So I always keep these things in mind.

  • I have some comments, but I am not mtf so I can't give you more than that.

    • It is my personal belief that genitalia has very little to do with gender as I have seen time and time again that while it correlates for some, it's not always par the norm. I have loved a variety of transfolx throughout my lifetime, and when dysphoria hits it always seems to help to remember this. I can understand that it feels awful to have a disconnect between what you see in your minds eye and what you're currently trapped with. In these instances, sometimes just wearing cute clothing can help. Minimizing time around mirrors seems to help as well. I wish I had the magic key, but I don't. I just figured I would say in my own life I have found the best coping/healing comes from being kind to myself instead of burning my bits to the ground.
    • As for the fetishism, I have heard it never stops. Basically regardless of what genitalia you sport, there will always be an element of queerness within your relationships. Which I suppose could be good or bad depending on how you feel about it. I will say I have heard there's far less folks knocking on your door pre/post operation but I think others can give more input on that than I can. I just figured it's worth noting, because while this is something I have heard I didn't even think about how this could transform an individuals er...suitors in such a way. I will say that there is a beauty to life in that people seem to sort of fall into one another and hopefully pending you're feeling loved and supported by said individual(s) it doesn't seem to matter much what cards you have to play. Just as long as they fit into whatever said individual(s) are down to hang with.

      • Plan for kind things to cover your recovery. I heard it's a sob to sit upright for quite some time. Perhaps figure out how to have the technology you want to access accessible via a comfortable position (laying down?). Get your setup done in advance, so you don't have to worry too much about it. Grab what you need to keep yourself clean and regular (as in, going to the bathroom - think about what you need to be able to go to the bathroom). Figure out who/what support you will need in order to sustain yourself on the road to recovery. Likewise how (remote work?) you can sustain yourself. You might have to move things around in order to get from a->b. I myself have had surgeries that have impaired me severely and just getting to the bathroom was a feat. It's partially why I mention it, but also things I have heard through the grape vine yet again.

    • I know several people waiting for gender-reaffirming surgeries and you sort of just have to toss your hat into the ring and be open to not having specifics. One was told they'd be able to get an orchie in 3-5 months but they're still waiting and it's been more than that. So I suppose it's just a waiting game. I think Covid kinda messed up the time line of a lot of things. When a doctor needs time, I figured it's always better to give them it than to have someone burnt-out and prone to making mistakes. Just kinda be accepting of the wait, at least is how I have experienced it. I wish I had better advice.

    Idk if any of this helps, and as previously stated I am not mtf. Just know that I mean it all in kindness. Equally I'd say finding a support network (here?) helps. If you can't find it, maybe dedicating some time to creating it could not only help you, but others as well. The world is cruel to transfolx, it's kinda crazy though, cause like...they also seem to be obsessed with them? Shrugs. Just do your best to stay safe, cultivate kindness and peace and turn off whatever you need to turn off in order to be well. Good luck, sis! You're gunna be fine either way. Just remember to be kind to yourself =)
