Hi! I've been extremely tired this week and nearly forgot that I was hosting one so I'm writing this last minute! I couldn't think of anything so I'm going to write about one of my hamsters who is not Biggs; Meredith

Meredith was another hamster of mine from a few years ago during the early days of COVID, and she was the absolute sweetest little creature I had ever met. Very friendly, very gentle. She loved exploring anywhere I put her into and never bit me ~~okay she did once ever~~. She was an absolute sweetheart and bundle of love and was with me during some of the rougher parts of my life

She unfortunately died very suddenly out of the blue one day at a terribly young age showing no symptoms of anything wrong with her prior, which breaks my heart to this very day

I never had her as long as any other hamster of mine but I don't think I had any other hamster touch my heart in quite the same way. I miss you, girl

Happy-Sad Sincere Posting (CW Dysphoria, self loathing)Last week my partner and I had been listening to some Sufjan Stevens, so the algorithm hit me with the song Chicago while I was driving and I unexpectedly started sobbing. It's not really one of his sad songs (Romulus always fucking gets me), but it is a song I listened to a lot as a teen and one of the few things I guess I felt emotional about while I was quietly disassociating through high school. And I felt this profound sudden connection and understanding with my younger self.

And I reflected that for years I had really hated myself, as a teenager, as a young adult etc. I had chalked it up at the time to things like "hey maybe I am a piece of shit", "maybe I had undiagnosed mental illness" and later "maybe I had internalized homophobia from an insane Christian conservative upbringing" (which was partially true too). But like duh, I hated myself because I thought I was a man, really fucking obvious in hindsight! I felt overwhelming forgiveness and compassion to my old self, but especially that sad lost teenage girl.

So like I'm feeling pretty amazing in a raw AF way.

Follow up revelations from my self-reflection CW grooming SA. DysphoriaI also realized as a teenager ~16-17 I was groomed and sexually assault by a woman in her 30s that was part of a social organization I was involved with over the course of several months. Inappropriate stuff like groping, touching, cuddling, kissing, not things I considered at the time to be actual sex or sexual assault. Plus stuff like being bought gifts, frequent text messages and being given alcohol at social events etc. I didn't have a framework to understand that a woman could assault a "boy" and also how in hindsight I was additionally vulnerable as an unaware trans girl.

Though in a darkly funny way I think my dysphoria around sex and being perceived as masculine prevented me from being victimized further, because she'd be like "do you want to come to my place after school" and some male friends would be like "she wants to have sex with you, that's cool" and internally I'd go "oh I don't want that" and make some excuse every time.

I'm processing this and actually feeling okay because I feel more insightful too about my old self. Also in a deeply fucked up way it's kind of gender affirming.

clocking in for another shift in the posting mines

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Think I'm on a new arc where I'm just not gonna correct my spelling no more, it shows hesitant and weakness to go back and edit things.

Back in high school all the cool gay kids would listen to like lady gaga now they listen to walls of noise broken up with old radio number stations or whatever.

Yesterday and today, there have been ravens near the tree line -- they are so silly, and loud. Just over there "Ah!" "Ah!" so cool. A goth lady came over yesterday, I told her about the ravens and she said "Oh, that's a good sign!"

Thursday when I looked I felt mixed and numb
Friday when I looked I wanted to die.
Today when I looked it’s feeling more like Thursday.

I don’t want to go out tbh, I don’t want people to see me.
This is the longest I’ve looked at myself in years and sometimes from some angles I look fine…but I still look like some awkward thing in the middle.
My lips and smile are so weird and idk how I would even fix it.
My hair is…idk how to even describe it.
I dunno…I won’t say it feels hopeless, but I feel pretty lost at what to do.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's pretty good progress! You're feeling better than Friday, that's good! Maybe as the days roll on, you'll feel less numb again and start to feel more at peace and happy. But you've been through Friday low and come out the other side.

Hair can grow or be cut, you can use products, hair is a fun one to experiment and play with! You might look pretty cute with french braids, plus having a partner do your hair is a really nice activity. Maybe your wife can curl your hair or braid it. Even sleeping in braids can give you fun bouncier curls the next morning, no need to go out with them.

There are options for lips if you feel it'll help you be in your body more. There's the simpler options of lipstick and lipliner. As you continue on with E it will continue to change your face, just slower. Or you can get filler injected, aim for more subtle over big big look - it doesn't take a lot to change your lips. Your smile is, I'm sure, quite charming. This is useless advice but try not to get in your head about your smile. Smizing is a meme (the wrinkles in the corner of the eye from a genuine candid smile) but you could try it and see how you feel.

Finally bought and played helldivers. Honestly I think this type of game isn't really for me. Better then payday or warframe though. There's so many of the exact same thing in these games though.

Also playing with "the guys" has lost all joy for me. I'm only out to one. Honestly forgot how much I hate being in a VC with a bunch of guys. I feel so drained.

Also the one I'm out to, and actually like, asked me my new name a while back because my old nickname felt weird. Still calls me that. My trans-ness still comes up basically every time we talk though which is nice and it feels affirming. Just a weird thing ig. If you didn't actually want to call me a fem name why'd you ask...

Dreamt I was fighting a witch vegan-seitan, was doing fine but should have pulled out more shinangans earlier in the fight, had I pulled the pretending to be a dweeb I could have finished it earlier. You gotta fight with shinangansbugs-stalin

Been getting some good sleep with this cheap eye mask I got, it's real cute with various butterflies on it. Honestly should have gotten and used one sooner, part of me wants to be vigilant but the other part of me is catgirl-flop

Skincare is so underrated. HRT is magic of course, but a good skincare routine has made such a difference

Bi-cycle is slowly turning towards women and I don't like it doggirl-gloom

sex and stuffFeels like I'm a lot more "compatible" with guys. I refuse to top anyone ever, and with guys that's just expected so I don't even have to discuss it, but last time I dated a girl it was kind of an issue and I felt selfish and it was just an awful situation and I don't want to experience it ever again.

I just know if I start saying "what the gender?" instead of "what the fuck" it'll be a week maybe less before I start doing it unironically that's how fast I develop my brainworms

my appearance, dysphoria, drugs, hopeI recently realized I am very pretty :)

My hairline is trash, I'm like 40 lbs more than I want to be, my feet are huge, I've got bad skin, I often have visible stubble, I don't shave my body too often cuz it's a pain, I have crows feet, and lots more stuff like that.

All that stuff used to bother me a lot. But while on shrooms I decided I was pretty any way. And now I feel like I am pretty all the time.

And other people think I am too! People don't actually care about that shit. I literally have visible chest hair in my cleavage showing pics on my app profile. And shit is going great.

To the girl reading this, what color is your favorite color?

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably purple, like this kinda shade. Although it depends a lot on context too.

I shouldn't have read about how smart cows are : (

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How smart someone isn't shouldn't have any bearing on how well we treat them or how much empathy we have for them.

Want yalls opinions because I don't have cool enough freinds to ask opinions on collars, which option(s) do you like better? I really like the rainbow one but it's $45, and I'm unsure if its too flashy. Then there is the other style that is $15 that I'd get that with a burgundy strap and unsure on either a dark nickel or "gold" chain. Going with the $15 collar also gives me the option of adding a leash for $15, and I will spend less money overall. And then also then I have a leash for doggirl-kiss

CW for leather, also maybe NSFW because collar (also if you know of something similar to these that is vegan lmk)

Also before anyone comment about it, no I'm not too concerned about opsec for posting potential collars I might be wearing
