It definitely morphs and changes over time.

I used to never have any dysphoria from having a beard.

Later, the slight hair growth I got in between laser sessions made me feel hopeless.

Now, I don’t love my facial hair but also feel sort of good at being more visibly trans when my facial hair is having its bad/intense days.

It’s also common for folks to not have genital dysphoria for a long time, only developing it years into transition when everything else is dealt with.

I wonder if your brain is finally accepting that things will change and the impatience is manifesting as dysphoria.

I hope it gets better soon!

• Being vulnerable, but not oversharing / overbearing, will actually provide an opportunity to deepen your friendships. They will appreciate knowing what you’re feeling and folks respond better to vulnerability than you expect.
• The right time to reconnect with an ex is when you are better and over them. If you still feel incomplete without her, then it’s the wrong time. Cliché but true: you must love yourself before you can be loved.
• Therapy could really help you work through these feelings. If you cannot afford therapy, look for support groups in your area. Just hearing other people going through similar situations can help.
• Build up non-romantic relationships while you are still so raw. A.k.a. hang out with your friends, open up and ask for their support, and be there for them. If you try to find romance while you’re not over your ex, you’ll make mistakes and maybe open old wounds, compare your new partners in unfair ways to your old ones, and just generally have a bad time.

I wish you luck. A breakup is never easy and it sounds like she means the world to you. It’ll never be right, but it will be okay.

Desired paths sounds weirder to me. I think desire here is a noun and not a verb, like “love affair” vs “loved affair”.

The law change will introduce a minimum age limit for using the devices at 15 years old, as well as placing a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit of 0.5 g/l on scooter drivers.

They also pointed out that other countries in Europe set the age between 12 and 16.

I have mixed feelings about this. When I was that age, I had a bike and used it as my main mode of transportation. Is a scooter significantly more dangerous? I suppose it must be, if kids are getting injured at the rates they are.

And kids can still operate non-motorized bikes, scooters, etc.

Even though he tends to update it once or twice a year, I switched to Voyager.

My white whale was full quality images when clicking thumbnails from the main feed.

I generally use queer.

It’s often used in the names of university programs (e.g. queer studies), so I think it’s been pretty well reclaimed.

It is also intuitively inclusive of romantic minorities, which gives me the sense it will continue to be inclusive as the aforementioned acronym continues to grow.

An aside, I’m also all for reclaiming the t-slur (I am trans) but I don’t use it unless I am certain the people around me won’t be hurt.

This was a very wordy article and I’m not sure I got anything out of it. It’s in our best interests to act in long-term thinking but politics favors short-term thinking. Whatcha gonna do about it?

Does air dry curl cream work for you? That’s been what I do most of the time.

Finally some good news on this topic! Let’s hope the courts listen to the science, here.

Norman Layout

Settled on it after 2 years of Dvorak, 1 year of Colemak, and 1 month of Workman.

Though, I mainly use Plover stenography when I’m working, Norman for gaming, and Qwerty on mobile or as-needed (e.g. other people’s computers or while taking notes on my iPad for D&D)

Yes, the joke is that they promoted him for using AI while that AI is used to justify not using AI.

I ate this onion so hard

Maybe time to make one of those furnace filter + box fan air purifiers. It should help with the scents and any dust.
