When it comes to news, I already know that very few possible events would have facts that were notable enough to change how I feel overall about the topic/event.

But, since I intentionally consume way less news than I used to, other than some Jon or John clips, I read my news.

Any fact finding I end up doing it just a hodgepodge of finding what I can through search, relying on primary sources where possible obviously.

So, when it comes to news, reddit was, and Lemmy is the place I go to be aware of events that I’d see if I watched legacy media / social media. And to just vent and maybe learn something.

I’m a title only kind of gal these days. Anything more, and I’d end up as a headline myself in short time.

See my reply to the other comment, but yes, and also no.

Typically though, for mtf post-orcheictomy and post-feminization from hormones, many women reduce the dosage of estrogen. After it becomes apparent that the major physical changes have stopped while taking the highest safe dosages, continued usage of estrogen suppliments is no longer for transitional purpose. At that point, its taken and prescribed for the same purpose as any other CIS woman, and therefore can often be reduced in dosage so as to preserve kidney function better.

All i’m saying is that, at some point, I’d prefer to be done thinking of myself as “transitioning” to just “woman” or at least post-transition in a medical treatment sense (y-chromosomal issues outside of hrt are obviously unrelated, like ex. Prostate cancer etc).

I would think that, at least in some cases, stopping treatment isn’t as much a “halting” of treatment, but more like a “finishing” of it.

I know in my case once i’m rid of T-producing organs, I plan on stopping my related meds. And once I’ve achieved all the feminization Estrogen injections can provide, I’ll no longer be taking it for any transitional purpose. (Likely just going to be whatever level feels right for emotional/mental support, which I’d argue isn’t in most peoples concept of transition treatment.)

If you like romance literature, I can name a few, but suffice to say, my favorite narrators are really great at lending each character their own tones, inflections, and cadence, while not being too disracting to listen too.

In traditional reading, you get used to the idea that (“) before a sentence indicates that what follows is said aloud by a character, and you often don’t need any context to figure out who said what. And the (”) at the end indicates that what follows isn’t said by them. Your brain hardly even notices them and yet you very rarely are reading dialogue without knowing its speaker, unless its the purpose of the author that you don’t.

Any narrator who can help convey the concept of quotation marks as seamlessly as my brain can while reading text is very appreciated in my books.

Because everyone’s is already being recorded if you’re in the US placing a phone call. Not cuz they were accidentally just happened to catch you and some other guys wiretap. They don’t bother with wiretaps except to justify what they’re already doing in front of a court.

I hadn’t really ever directly connected the two, but yeah the Democratic party has always had problems organizing. Hopefully, if we are forced into a similar situation, we get it right this fucking time.

No parties like this bullshit two party Winner Takes all bullshit, if we’re going to pretend like democracy is a viable option. If anything can be said of the differences between back then and now, I would guess that overall the Democratic party at least appears to be more humble in the past than it is now despite being humiliated by a clown is such as Trump. The party’s and this country’s eventual downfall I think could be boiled down to everyone that isn’t in the Oligarchy’s Breast Pocket, being unwilling to compromise or even speak their neighbors, who might disagree with them.

Either the left bites the fucking bullet and humble itself enough to figure out some way of getting through to at least a chunk of the Republican voter base, or get really comfortable with becoming fascist itself and propagating its own brand of violence, to the point of killing.

Best not to use to academic language when dealing with those that Academia has failed so thoroughly. Or the ones who already know and don’t care cuz they got enough of a kickback from kicking down.

I’m sorry but how is that unique to the US, that’s literally all of human history and all humans in human history have always had an “other’”.

What makes the US of any more note, if anything, is just the level and formalization of such disgraceful treatment of the “other” that, started with the colonialization of America and the slave trade that boosted it.

Do I think it could be said that this is not the first time that such a thing has happened in history? It’s just this cycle, who knows how long these Cycles go, and hopefully it’s when we eventually evolve to get off of.

That’s wonderful news I’m actually happy to say that was full honesty. Surely you learned in your talk therapy that you and your problems are unique Ergo so your solutions would be as well…

💜🥺 Thank you.

I’ve never wished to have had my shit together for another’s benefit… i’m broke.

This kind of shit is exactly why I left texas. Idk where I’d be if it was the whole US. And as a “child” no less!

Which is a real doozy when you think about the duplicity it is to no longer allow a convicted citizen the right to vote, which is so strongly held by some people on all sides, almost evenly I’d say.

How it must feel, to be so cool to allow yourself the privilege of not participating, just like the criminals politics generates. 😎

Football Jerseys from a bygone era on Saturdays isn’t the only indicator that someone never really grew beyond highschool.

This is so me for the last half year or so. Doesn’t it feel, like, equally terrifying too to you?

If you have an android, check the Fdroid store, there are several apps that show you the raw output from every type of sensor on your device. I was surprised to find out several features on mine.

Exactly. I hate the sun. Too bright and too hot.

My favorite color too!!! Whoohoooo!

Bingo

Exactly. The source and the setting make the difference, not the looks.

Some big wig isn’t going to raise a hand in a board meeting and ask to go to the bathroom. Why not? Because they’re an executive and this isn’t a school room.

I’ve not once ever heard or seen represented any person ask something like that… likely because its pretty easy to have the social skills to know better. So why are there so many loud men who want tk instead blame their looks when its just a refusal to abide by the same social skills?

Additionally, NASA is seeking to foster a commercial economy in low-Earth orbit. To that end, it is working with several private companies to develop commercial space stations that would be able to house NASA astronauts, as well as those from other countries and private citizens, by or before 2030. By setting an end date for the station’s lifetime and sticking with it, NASA can help those private companies raise money from investors.

Emphasis mine.

I propose we bring back the age old traditions of liberated piracy, just, in space. That is all.
