Lime(stone) Trans Megathread from April 14th, 2025 to April 20th, 2025
Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells đ„, seashells đ, and pearls đŠȘ are made out of.
In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:
HáșĄ Long Bay in Vietnam
Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar
The Li River in China
Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (Veryovkina Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations
Mammoth Cave in the United States
Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)
As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

cw: suicide
::: spoiler spoiler
yesterday i found out my ex girlfriend (trans) killed herself. we had a horrible breakup 10 years ago and she treated me terribly and I cut off all contact. i hate how she just became another trans suicide statistic, but despite all that I still weep for her.
edit: come to think of it, i was posting on the trans mega for a couple weeks before making this account. i've been trans on hexbear for a little longer than this

Everyone thinks this fuckin bird comes from somewhere else

Similar to the Spanish Flu, which every country named after some other country.
In honor of this tradition, when Covid was at its peak, we jokingly referred to it as "the Cordoba virus" instead of "the Coronavirus." Because all flus have to come from Spain, for some reason.

okay random as fuck but I saw a tweet which made me think about those MySpace bulletin surveys you used to do back in the day and, being the hoarder that I am, I actually found some that I had saved as text files
and holy shit, one of the first answers slapped me in the fucking face. I won't quote it verbatim on the off-chance that someone has a pre-wipe MySpace database, but it basically reads
::: spoiler internalized (?) transphobia (is this overkill pls advise)
I look female and feel female, but I have a dick so I guess I'm male :P
:::
LORD SOMEONE GO TELL THIS CHILD THAT TRANS PEOPLE EXIST
that aside, I honestly had no idea I that kind of explicit eggy sentiment that early on. Sure, it's very flippant, but like--that's a weird thing for a cis guy to say, right? Wish I'd kept a diary, but I guess MySpace surveys will have to do

::: spoiler waffling about sexuality, possible HRT changes or maybe just possible life changes
over the past two weeks on multiple occasions I've found myself referring to myself as "straight" in my head and I can understand why. Let me be clear, I'm not straight, I'm bi. I've known I was bi since I was 16, but recently all my sexual/romantic thoughts have fallen almost exclusively towards men and I... don't really know what to feel about that at this point. I don't really think HRT "changed" my sexuality. I know perfectly well that for years of my life I spent pining after women to attain a femininity that I craved but couldn't have in myself. But as I've grown far more comfortable in my place in life as a woman, I feel like my attraction is actually what I'm looking for in a partner, and that's something that feels... like I want a man.
and I'm just not really used to any of this and don't really know what to make of it tbh.
::: spoiler extra sad
i've fallen asleep every night for the past two weeks to the thoughts of men doting on me and making me feel special. making me feel like they want me and care for me. my bed remains totally empty but with a new flavor of sadness that i never really felt before

::: spoiler paranoia, dysphoria, transphobia, ableism, and genocide
I'm extremely fucking scared right now. i had a nap earlier and there was a dream where my mom went into my room and found out (again) that I'm trans and was scolding me or whatever and i kept waking up and going back to sleep and thinking it was real, I went to sleep before that earlier thinking about what's happening in the USA and stuff and being horrified of the thought of a genocide happening. I'm so tired of my family too, all their transphobia is so tiring, and school too. I have to say nothing every time I'm called by my deadname instead of Sally and not say anything when people call me "sir" or "mr" or "young man" because if I do I'm in danger because of how fucking stupid Texas is. Brother back in March tried to literally gaslight me into thinking I'm not trans, saying "it's probably just an identity crisis" when I've identified as trans for 5 years now, he's the type that thinks you're "vulnerable" and can't decide for yourself if you're neurodivergent or something I think. I just want it to be 2027 or 2028 already so i can escape and be myself, why do I have to go through so much pain just to some day get to a point where I can hopefully be myself?
edit: i accidentally posted this suddenly and it scared tf out of me when i wasn't ready hopefully this is ok to post here though idk I'm an extremely paranoid person about everything

I even sent a support ticket asking them what the h*ck is going on. But on the way home, for no reason at all I thought "maybe I'll check the mailbox before going in" (not something I typically do), and lo and behold, it had arrived

::: spoiler sadposting, suicide
Well, we're suicidal again. We had hoped that it was finally gone after starting HRT, and it was for a time, but looks like we are right back where we started mentally. *sigh*
Maybe it's just due to a bunch of traumas getting triggered today, but we doubt it given it's been like this for the last week or so and it seems to be getting worse not better.
We've also had to come to terms with the fact that trying to have a community is futile. All attempts at doing so have proved pointless and a net negative in the end. We are just too good at making everybody hate us we guess.
We guess that's kind of why we are posting this here, don't really have anywhere else to go. No community to be had. All of the friends that say "If you need me I'll be here for you" are nowhere to be found, as usual. We don't blame them, we are too much to handle and we know that. We can't even handle ourselves. Even if they were there they would just say they can't talk about this.
::: spoiler extra suicide and sadposting
We really just don't see the point in being alive. Between our many disabilities and trauma we will never be functional, let alone happy. Better off just dying now than going through even more pain just to die later. Nobody would really miss us anyway.
Sorry for wasting everybody's time writing this post. We try and keep it positive but we just don't really care anymore.

I'm not from the UK so I'm trying to not be too ridiculous over this. But it sounds really bad and I worry. I'm scared and I hate this. The US is following the UK's lead as far as I can tell too. And a lot of what people say on the topic strikes me as cope. Can't blame them but it doesn't help me.
So unfair. All I want now a days is to be (seen as/feel like) a woman and I don't know when I will feel like that will happen. And for some people in my life they probably never will. Like I get that you're so fucking bothered I have a dick and went through male puberty DO YOU THINK I FUCKING LIKE IT EITHER?? WHO DO YOU THINK IS MORE EFFECTED BY THIS?
::: spoiler si

Yea and it sucks and I hate it and it makes me want to kms. Has for a while.
other people have it worse then you
Yea and that sucks for them, and I hate it, and it makes me want to die. I've felt fucking horrible about it forever but its not like I have any real power.
Why do people continue this circle of suffering. I do not understand. I would kill myself if I forced a child to suffer like this. Maybe other people are less bothered by suffering?

XiaCobolt [she/her] - 1.3yr
I've been thinking about RuPaul's Drag race recently and basically 2 points that might be connected or coincidence.
Firstly you never fucking hear Cishets talking about it anymore. Like a few years back it was a thing they would always bring up when someone was gay or trans (unfortunately). Despite it being on it's 17th season and having like 20 something international spin-offs. Like that's not necessarily a bad thing, except...
Secondly the show has done a real 180 on how shitty and transphobic it was. RuPaul still sucks for fracking and other reasons (but he's only on like 3 of the shows, and no one watches to see him phone it in each week), but he's basically recanted most of the transphobic shit he said. Each season has multiple trans women or non binary performers, even one trans man has competed. The top finalists of later seasons are frequently trans, several trans women/femmes have won the show (mainline and spin-offs).
It's lib/idealist AF but this quote from Vulture is still pretty true.
But something else that is true is that there is no other program on TV, period, on which a convicted felon can come and be celebrated for his love of his gay, drag-queen son. I also canât remember the last time I saw a transphobic mother work so hard to overcome her biases and reconnect with the daughter she threw out of the house. Even Sam Starâs mother, a deeply southern woman who has a fearsome dedication to her child, is a revolutionary figure right now. The world is terrible, corporations around the country are dropping queer people left and right, but Drag Race still exists. Itâs nice.
And guess circling back around to my first point, the show got better about trans people, and then it sort of dropped off the public's radar.

Update on coming out to my friend. I haven't seen much of her in a few years but still counts. She's proud of me, glad I told her, and I got to tell someone else my name. (which she loves for me and I am riding that wave, holy hell I forgot how much I like having my name complimented). She's actually got a trans member of her extended family, which I didn't know about. So yea, very nice to get to talk with her about it a bit.
I still (kind of, complicated obviously) come out to my main irl friend. Don't know when that will happen though.

At least youâre smart enough to wear one. Earlier in my transition, when I was still somewhat masc presenting, I once had the glorious idea of going on a hike without one, because it was really hot outside.
The top of the mountain was quite crowded and while I was enjoying the view, I started to notice that the people there were looking at me in a funny way, especially the children. At the time I thought it was because I was wearing a headband to keep my hair at bay, which made me look very feminine for a "man". Until I saw the photos afterwards...
You could see EVERYTHING! 2 little boobs poking out of my shirt in all their feminine glory.
I never realized until then how visible they were, because of them growing so slowly. But after giving those people a little genderfuckery show, I started taking my momâs advice of wearing bras more seriously.

I made a similar mistake when my brother invited me to jog with him and I just thought I'd throw on a T-shirt and it would be fine. Realized it was quite unpleasant pretty quickly, but decided power through it for a little bit. That's how I found out they could produce a bit of fluids.

Do people ever go from prescription to DIY HRT? I'm thinking of doing so. I'm on prescription, but I already have all the stuff I need to start DIY, and I'm not happy with the prescription system rn, so I'm thinking on just switching already. There's:
the general inconvenience of dealing with bureaucracies to sign off on your shit every few months. the very last refill involved me going back and forth with the doctor and pharmacy for a few days before I could pick it up.
the awkwardness of picking up estrogen as someone who still presents male in public. I guess this will theoretically go away when I eventually start making more changes in how I look...
I temporarily got cut off last week because the people running PP AZ are a bunch of hoes for trump, and I don't trust that this won't happen again in the long term. To me, this to me is the strongest reason.
Price - I pay like $33ish per month for what I'm prescribed, but a $75 vial of injectable estradiol should last me at least 6 months, if not more.
I'm probably still going to stick with PP so I can get blood tests, and advice, and prescriptions for other things as needed (like progesterone if/when the time comes, or estradiol if my DIY sources abruptly shut down).
Also if I do switch, should I bother getting hormone levels tested right before switching? I'm due for the first one since I started only a few months ago, but I've read that switching methods can change hormone levels, so I feel like whatever measurements I might get would be meaningless in the long run if I switch.

Parents (transphobic, not out to) visiting for Easter has fucked my mental health. Just feel dysphoric and ill for needing to boymode. The cruddy weather isn't helping. Feel too depressed and anxious to text/reach out to any of my friends or dates. Was able to slip out of their hotel and ditch them for now, but don't feel like doing anything. Just want to curl up and lay on my bed. It doesn't help that everything but the Walmart is closed down for Easter, and that was out of the pink nail polish that I specifically wanted to pick up to do trans pride colors. Cannot wait until they leave so I can paint my nails and do some makeup practice to feel better.

I think the funniest form of misgendering is when people call my skirt a kilt. I wear skirts a lot, and, to be fair, a lot of my skirts are plaid (though they definitely aren't kilts). And sometimes when strangers compliment my outfits, they say things like "I like your kilt" or "nice kilt, that's the right word, right?". Like they see me wearing what is clearly a skirt, and want to compliment my outfit, but I guess decide that I look like a man too much for me to possibly be wearing a skirt, so they call it a kilt to not insult me, I guess. But that ends up being kind of insulting, although I don't think people are doing it out of malice. Idk, kind of funny tbh

Lot of shows like you know who you're supposed to be sympathetic towards and who gets humanity extended towards them vs who's supposed to be a one off villain/thug.

Last fun tinker project was a 5 dollar mini roomba knockoff, too bad my cats had it out for it and went full Butlerian Jihad and send that robot straight to the litter box somehow and showed that bot how they really felt about it, not sure how since the litterbox is a good 3inches off the floor.

I can't do what I need to do to be perceived correctly. I barely could keep up with what I needed to do as a guy.
I am very bitter towards everyone who was born right. Who wasn't destroyed by the wrong puberty. I kind of hate them. Also like 95% of them want to have some say in our shit, mostly to defend their own from this hell.
I'm bitter, and I can't do it (even basic stuff), and I have to get up early tomorrow. Fuck waking up (early, of course).

Any comrades know much about Yazidi culture/Religion wanna help me find some sources to understand this a bit better? They're super nice, and I'm sure they'd explain if I asked, but I'm kind of embarrassed to know them so long and just now realize I know less about their religion than I thought. And Wikipedia is useless, and other sites that come up on Google are giving very conflicting information.

Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells đ„, seashells đ, and pearls đŠȘ are made out of.
In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:
HáșĄ Long Bay in Vietnam
Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar
The Li River in China
Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (
VeryovkinaKrubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formationsMammoth Cave in the United States

they should rename greece to south macedonia and macedonia to north greece
that way no one's happy
Also we should rename the bird to "tĂŒrkiye."
In French, its Dinde (really really close to d'Inde, it would mean from India). In India it's called a Tarki or Piru (Turkey or Peru). In Turkey they call it Hindi (India).
Everyone thinks this fuckin bird comes from somewhere else
Similar to the Spanish Flu, which every country named after some other country.
In honor of this tradition, when Covid was at its peak, we jokingly referred to it as "the Cordoba virus" instead of "the Coronavirus." Because all flus have to come from Spain, for some reason.
In Portuguese it's also Peru. Someone should claim this fuckin bird already
I love trans people, I love people who take their self-expression into their own hands and do what makes them happy.

Holy shit, so I just randomly ran into a friend from more than a decade ago and caught up a bit and it was really sweet and crazy unlikely and I was a whole ass different person when we were last friends and he was super sweet and positive about it and I have a lot of feelings about it and am kinda overwhelmed

okay random as fuck but I saw a tweet which made me think about those MySpace bulletin surveys you used to do back in the day and, being the hoarder that I am, I actually found some that I had saved as text files
and holy shit, one of the first answers slapped me in the fucking face. I won't quote it verbatim on the off-chance that someone has a pre-wipe MySpace database, but it basically reads

that aside, I honestly had no idea I that kind of explicit eggy sentiment that early on. Sure, it's very flippant, but like--that's a weird thing for a cis guy to say, right? Wish I'd kept a diary, but I guess MySpace surveys will have to do

::: spoiler waffling about sexuality, possible HRT changes or maybe just possible life changes over the past two weeks on multiple occasions I've found myself referring to myself as "straight" in my head and I can understand why. Let me be clear, I'm not straight, I'm bi. I've known I was bi since I was 16, but recently all my sexual/romantic thoughts have fallen almost exclusively towards men and I... don't really know what to feel about that at this point. I don't really think HRT "changed" my sexuality. I know perfectly well that for years of my life I spent pining after women to attain a femininity that I craved but couldn't have in myself. But as I've grown far more comfortable in my place in life as a woman, I feel like my attraction is actually what I'm looking for in a partner, and that's something that feels... like I want a man.
and I'm just not really used to any of this and don't really know what to make of it tbh.
::: spoiler extra sad i've fallen asleep every night for the past two weeks to the thoughts of men doting on me and making me feel special. making me feel like they want me and care for me. my bed remains totally empty but with a new flavor of sadness that i never really felt before :::
::: spoiler paranoia, dysphoria, transphobia, ableism, and genocide I'm extremely fucking scared right now. i had a nap earlier and there was a dream where my mom went into my room and found out (again) that I'm trans and was scolding me or whatever and i kept waking up and going back to sleep and thinking it was real, I went to sleep before that earlier thinking about what's happening in the USA and stuff and being horrified of the thought of a genocide happening. I'm so tired of my family too, all their transphobia is so tiring, and school too. I have to say nothing every time I'm called by my deadname instead of Sally and not say anything when people call me "sir" or "mr" or "young man" because if I do I'm in danger because of how fucking stupid Texas is. Brother back in March tried to literally gaslight me into thinking I'm not trans, saying "it's probably just an identity crisis" when I've identified as trans for 5 years now, he's the type that thinks you're "vulnerable" and can't decide for yourself if you're neurodivergent or something I think. I just want it to be 2027 or 2028 already so i can escape and be myself, why do I have to go through so much pain just to some day get to a point where I can hopefully be myself?
edit: i accidentally posted this suddenly and it scared tf out of me when i wasn't ready hopefully this is ok to post here though idk I'm an extremely paranoid person about everything

::: spoiler sadposting, suicide Well, we're suicidal again. We had hoped that it was finally gone after starting HRT, and it was for a time, but looks like we are right back where we started mentally. *sigh*
Maybe it's just due to a bunch of traumas getting triggered today, but we doubt it given it's been like this for the last week or so and it seems to be getting worse not better.
We've also had to come to terms with the fact that trying to have a community is futile. All attempts at doing so have proved pointless and a net negative in the end. We are just too good at making everybody hate us we guess.
We guess that's kind of why we are posting this here, don't really have anywhere else to go. No community to be had. All of the friends that say "If you need me I'll be here for you" are nowhere to be found, as usual. We don't blame them, we are too much to handle and we know that. We can't even handle ourselves. Even if they were there they would just say they can't talk about this. ::: spoiler extra suicide and sadposting We really just don't see the point in being alive. Between our many disabilities and trauma we will never be functional, let alone happy. Better off just dying now than going through even more pain just to die later. Nobody would really miss us anyway.

this is my second week taking injections instead of drops. much preferable. never going back.
I've been thinking about RuPaul's Drag race recently and basically 2 points that might be connected or coincidence.
Firstly you never fucking hear Cishets talking about it anymore. Like a few years back it was a thing they would always bring up when someone was gay or trans (unfortunately). Despite it being on it's 17th season and having like 20 something international spin-offs. Like that's not necessarily a bad thing, except...
Secondly the show has done a real 180 on how shitty and transphobic it was. RuPaul still sucks for fracking and other reasons (but he's only on like 3 of the shows, and no one watches to see him phone it in each week), but he's basically recanted most of the transphobic shit he said. Each season has multiple trans women or non binary performers, even one trans man has competed. The top finalists of later seasons are frequently trans, several trans women/femmes have won the show (mainline and spin-offs).
The most recent show had enormous representation in Lexi Love who was/is a complete train wreck (but still a top 4 finalist). Drag Race Canada this most recent season had Jaylene Tyme a two-Spirit First Nations and Métis Indigenous trans woman, who was a sixties scoop survivor (Canadian stolen generation equivalent).
It's lib/idealist AF but this quote from Vulture is still pretty true.
And guess circling back around to my first point, the show got better about trans people, and then it sort of dropped off the public's radar.

Update on coming out to my friend. I haven't seen much of her in a few years but still counts. She's proud of me, glad I told her, and I got to tell someone else my name.

She's actually got a trans member of her extended family, which I didn't know about. So yea, very nice to get to talk with her about it a bit.

wednesdays are for the boy(moder)s
Went out today wearing a sports bra. I am 90% sure that everyone could see a conspicuous roundness in my chest area, but nobody commented.
At least youâre smart enough to wear one. Earlier in my transition, when I was still somewhat masc presenting, I once had the glorious idea of going on a hike without one, because it was really hot outside.
The top of the mountain was quite crowded and while I was enjoying the view, I started to notice that the people there were looking at me in a funny way, especially the children. At the time I thought it was because I was wearing a headband to keep my hair at bay, which made me look very feminine for a "man". Until I saw the photos afterwards...
You could see EVERYTHING!
2 little boobs poking out of my shirt in all their feminine glory.
I never realized until then how visible they were, because of them growing so slowly. But after giving those people a little genderfuckery show, I started taking my momâs advice of wearing bras more seriously.
yes the biggest mistake most creatures taking E make is not wearing bras soon enough xP
I still donât like wearing them, but at least nowadays I can get away with it.
I made a similar mistake when my brother invited me to jog with him and I just thought I'd throw on a T-shirt and it would be fine. Realized it was quite unpleasant pretty quickly, but decided power through it for a little bit. That's how I found out they could produce a bit of fluids.
cissy here, went to a protest against the recent UK ruling, very good turnout for the size of my city :)
God I love drugs. Thanks for helping me love myself again Ketamine đ
Through dialectic material struggles I've come to understand the wisdom of bedtime, endless scrolling won't cure my unhappiness but a good night's rest will make me feel better especially when I got my plushies
hitting up different FFS surgeons for consultations and asking them increasingly absurd requests for what to do with my face just to see what I can get away with because I'm bored
"okay yeah, feminize everything about me EXCEPT my jaw and chin. give me a super defined, broad jawline like those gigachad meme and make my chin stick out like the crimson fucking chin"
Attended a protest here in the UK about the recent ruling. Good times, was a nice show of solidarity between trans people and local allies and other queer communities.

Do people ever go from prescription to DIY HRT? I'm thinking of doing so. I'm on prescription, but I already have all the stuff I need to start DIY, and I'm not happy with the prescription system rn, so I'm thinking on just switching already. There's:
I'm probably still going to stick with PP so I can get blood tests, and advice, and prescriptions for other things as needed (like progesterone if/when the time comes, or estradiol if my DIY sources abruptly shut down).
Also if I do switch, should I bother getting hormone levels tested right before switching? I'm due for the first one since I started only a few months ago, but I've read that switching methods can change hormone levels, so I feel like whatever measurements I might get would be meaningless in the long run if I switch.

It doesn't help that everything but the Walmart is closed down for Easter, and that was out of the pink nail polish that I specifically wanted to pick up to do trans pride colors. Cannot wait until they leave so I can paint my nails and do some makeup practice to feel better.

::: spoiler New hormone levels just dropped E 52 -> 92 pg/mL
T 8 -> 7 ng/dL
My T is still ridiculously low despite lowering my spiro from 100mg to 50mg. I was hoping it would be somewhere around 30-40. And my E is better but still on the lower end of "normal". I'm guessing my doctor is going to take me off spiro and I'm wondering how much my T will rebound
I've been reeeaal sleepy and fatigued and would like little a T, as a treat

I work for a very small company, almost entirely remote, but weâre doing our yearly-ish in-office work week next week.
I am not out at work. I previously was just boymoding at work. I now have enough tiddy that they canât be hidden with a simple sports bra and baggy shirt combo. Iâm gonna have to come out at work.
anyone have advice or experience? especially for a small/tiny company?
Saw a really cool looking gendery person at the grocery store with a rad gothy punk outfit getting flowers for someone and thought it was really sweet

You, too!
I visited my friend in [large city] and went walking/clothes shopping and got so many compliments on my fit from people just walking down the street
I ended up spending two hours in one shop chatting with the very ND owner and trying on almost everything. I think they were hitting on me but I'm also ND and kept telling myself they were just being nice because they want to sell me clothes. But then they gave me a hug when I left
Next time I visit my friend I'm going back to that shop and asking for their number (maybe, idk, sounds scary).

The Protracted Trans People's War against the cis.
Yesterday's transfem spicy noodle challenge made me realize once more that there's two types of trans girls:
can't handle any amount of spicy, makes me want to protect her from roaming pepper corns wandering into the area
loves spicy and makes me want to egg her on to try more of the good stuff
Oh and then there's chili fox girl who just seems to be immune to capsaicin. I was crying and blowing my nose nonstop from my noodles and had a spot below my lips that actually got a little chemical burn and she did not only have the same amount of the hot sauce, she also put the carolina reaper powder on it that she likes to bring along and she didn't even break a sweat.
Walked into my siblings room just to declare it being stinky in there, I may be
now but still got that lil bro energy in me (I did help them open up their stubborn window)

::: spoiler misgendering I think the funniest form of misgendering is when people call my skirt a kilt. I wear skirts a lot, and, to be fair, a lot of my skirts are plaid (though they definitely aren't kilts). And sometimes when strangers compliment my outfits, they say things like "I like your kilt" or "nice kilt, that's the right word, right?". Like they see me wearing what is clearly a skirt, and want to compliment my outfit, but I guess decide that I look like a man too much for me to possibly be wearing a skirt, so they call it a kilt to not insult me, I guess. But that ends up being kind of insulting, although I don't think people are doing it out of malice. Idk, kind of funny tbh :::

Big shout out to limestone for nixtamalization. Makes maize yummy and ready to make masa.

::: spoiler strength, exercise Ive been playing it low and slow with weightlifting recently, been keeping my weights low and my reps high (8-12 reps per set) to adjust slowly, but today I pushed my curls to 3x8 20 pound dumbbells and fuck that felt so good. I had to push and really try to get those reps while maintaining good form, it felt amazing to challenge and push myself and really feel my body put in a lot of work to move weight. I feel so powerful pulling off harder lifts, the feeling of strength is kind of intoxicating

Rewatching Uncle from another world, main character is a sega maniac
so that's cool. On the real while it kind of sus in some moments I do like how it goes against the "beautiful people are good ugly people bad thing" not ground breaking but whatever. Lot of shows like you know who you're supposed to be sympathetic towards and who gets humanity extended towards them vs who's supposed to be a one off villain/thug. There's some overlap with racism and dehumanization there that gets explored I feel. Honestly might check out the webcomic tomorrow since I like where it's going.
I cannot regulate my emotions in a healthy way
Uncle from another world has an episode where the titular sega obsessed uncle uses magic to transform into a hot elf woman, so like that's a thing. It does handle it all tastefully and since the series takes place during 2018 it's sort of before vtubers I think. It's shown the longer one transforms themselves the less likely they'd want to go back and how a new body will affect how people think so that's cool.
All my friends have made up fake girlfriends so I think I should get in on the bit too, seriously number of them have committed to the bit to the point I worry.

Been watching
06 speedruns recently, got me thinking most of the speedrun records are for the xbox360 version leaving the ps3 version (the one I play) untouched. A lot of it is because the ps3 version was the worst one but in terms of spawning objects it's slightly different and these small differences can lead to faster times in some levels.
fuck my chungus life
I got one of those knockoff smart rings for like 12 bux, I figured it'd be something fun to tinker with especially since this one has super accessible firmware. I know this thing isn't accurate for fuck since its guesstimating on sleep cycles vs pulse, oxygen, motion just like the real deal does, though heartrate reading seems pretty accurate, so I can try old school workout vids with it.
Last fun tinker project was a 5 dollar mini roomba knockoff, too bad my cats had it out for it and went full Butlerian Jihad and send that robot straight to the litter box somehow and showed that bot how they really felt about it, not sure how since the litterbox is a good 3inches off the floor. Wouldn't charge after that, also ew. They loved to swat at it and push it around the house via swats before the litter box incident, gluing googly eyes slowed them down but ultimately didn't save the machine.

And Wikipedia is useless, and other sites that come up on Google are giving very conflicting information.
