Drank last night, so puffy today. This means lots of stares on the street. 😑

The tolerances for passing are so fine, all it takes is a bottle of wine the night before to push the needle to the wrong side of the divide.

Or sugar
Or an edible
Or carb loading
Or hormonal fluctuations

🤷‍♀️

Keep hydrated; do cardio; say no to ice cream; learn to live with it.

Showed up to movie night a little early. Killing time until I walk the last 350 feet.

Someone was snickering about "pregnant person", and I as like. Dude. We use inclusive language all the time in math. There's literally an infinite number of positive numbers, and yet we still use "non-negatives", because we specifically want to include zero. It's the same fucking thing.

AT&T Long Lines Oak Hill Tower, San Jose, CA 2021.

This unusual Brutalist tower was part of the former AT&T terrestrial microwave network that once carried the bulk of US long distance telephone traffic. The (long since disconnected) horn antennas are too big and heavy to remove.

@SleepyCatten beginning the prilocaine hunt! TU!!

@SleepyCatten yup, gobs of 10% lidocaine all wrapped tight in plastic.

Seemed to work well for the first half hour, but at some point it just started to feel like a prolonged stitches session.

Going to try application a little closer to the actual appointment time to see if that helps (one hour before, versus two).

At the end of the day, I’ll do whatever I have to, but I admit to being jealous of those who have access to lidocaine injections—that’s supposed to be entirely pain free.

Started surgical prep electrolysis today, and yuuuup, that hurts exactly as much as you’d think it would. 🤣

Supposed to get easier as you go, which is good, because I’m going to be doing this every week for at least a year. 📆

@h5e yup, all those little dead hairs need to work their way out. Your face might end up looking a mess for a few days after—I know mine sure did.

@nicole@myna.social It’s funny. I’m one of those people who has incredible difficulty naming their own feelings, but anything involving harm to an animal triggers immediate and overwhelming emotions with perfect clarity.

I have strong anecdotal evidence that the same was true for my maternal uncles and grandfather.

It’s always been like this for me, but I feel like HRT dialed it up another couple of notches to the point of near absurdity.

Is crying on demand a useful party trick?

Here's what I did with my weekend. Still some finishing to do tomorrow, but it's coming together.

I'm really pleased with how the laser etching came out on the sleeves and shoulders (it took a lot of work, please clap).

Yeah, so a fictional robot dog died in an anime today, and I spent 10 minutes sobbing about it, 20 minutes fixing my makeup, and an hour holding Chibi tightly to my chest. 🤷‍♀️

Chibi’s like, “the bleep’s wrong with you, woman?”

You might spend the first few years of your transition trying to convince the people around you that, somehow, you’ve materially changed; once they realize that this is true, you can then pivot to trying to convince them that you’re the same person.

Strictly speaking, neither are true.

TIL I need to recalibrate my JPY to USD heuristic. I’ve been using 100:1 for 30 years, but I knew the Japanese economy has been sluggish for at least that long.

The conversion today is 150:1.

Has anyone tried the new Activity Pub plugin for Wordpress?

It’s out of beta now.

I have a Wordpress site (which I need as an author) and a Mastodon instance (which I need because I am a control freak).

If Activity Pub works as it should, I won’t need both — but we can’t get Activity Pub to work on a Wordpress site.

Has anyone tried this?

I will trade legal analysis for technical help. (Fediverse economics)

It’s October, so I’m squirreled up with a small press collection of creepy stories, The Faces at Your Shoulder.

The first story turns out to be an even more-Lovecraftian spin on Campbell’s Who Goes There? (i.e., The Thing). It’s set at the tail end of the Gold Rush, but, other than its setting, it’s derivative as all get-out.

Doesn’t matter: the literary equivalent of a Spooky Sounds CD is exactly what I was looking for. 🎃

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
