Ah! There it is! I would like to make the mega for the week of 8/18-8/24
Also I'm pretty sure I'm some flavor of asexual and some variety of aromantic. That was a nifty discovery.
where do i sign up to do a megathread?

Apparently the state department is intentionally defying the court order to let trans people have correct gender markers. Past few weeks have been pretty tough and I keep catching L's. I can't wait until I get that shit in the mail and have yet another emotional episode about it. Im mostly angry at myself because none of the bad stuff would be happening if I just stopped fucking up all the time.
The new blue sugar free monster tastes fucking amazing and I can't get enough of it.
From every account I've heard (including my own) it depends on how high the dose and for how long you were taking them. In my experience going cold turkey was pretty similar to quitting nicotine, the first two weeks being the worst but everything after that being much easier. You can expect to get occasional zaps for a long ass time after that. I will occasionally feel something and go "wait was that an ssri zap?" even two and a half years off lexapro.
It depends on how high your dose was and it can vary from barely perceptible and infrequent to nauseating and near-constant. Tapering off can help make it less intense but at some point theyre going to be unavoidable. SSRIs are ass.
That was so uncomfortably impotent. Like listening to my father read off the emails he sends to his congressman.
I think you posted the bluesky thread as a number of comments in this thread? Its confusing and out of order and probably would have been better if it was copy pasted into the body of the post instead.
OP, I don't want to be mean, but the way you made this thread is deeply confusing and you should not make threads like this in the future.
You are enough as you are now and you should be kinder to yourself.
Now for some suggestions:
Regarding glasses I suggest getting two pairs, if possible, for the purpose of redundancy. If one is broken or gets lost having a second pair will prevent it from becoming a catastrophe. One of those pairs should be fun. Fun can mean a lot of things, it can be an interesting shape or an uncommon color or something else. There are guides out there about matching face shape to lens shape but its all up to you, trust your judgement.
Accessories! 4th Reich dudes dont really go around with bracelets and necklaces, and they tend to avoid piercings. If you want to get your ears pierced its inexpensive, the aftercare is easy and the healing process is quick, plus there are a zillion options for earrings. If you've ever considered something more adventureous like a brow piercing or what have you, go for it! It can be a very liberating experience.
Pins are very explicitly state where you stand and what you believe in. Its extremely rare to be challenged for whatever pins youre wearing and it is very common to recieve compliments over them. I can personally attest that many trans people notice, and greatly appreciate it when people wear symbols that indicate their allyship.
I also think that you (and many others) would benefit from developing a personal sense of style. Confidence in the way one presents themselves translates into confidence in general. It's easier than you might think, although it takes time and a little effort. I have some pointers on that if youre interested.
Addendum: yes also wearing masks is a pretty strong signal AND they serve a practical purpose. Its really nice basically never getting sick.
What these ghouls fail to realize/intentionally ignore is the fact that socialization is vital to human growth and development and that is a significant part of the value of schooling. Teachers aren't just fact dispensers or paper graders or presentation-givers, theyre (ideally, lets be real here) mentors and mandatory reporters and role models but most importantly they're people.
These pricks want to alienate and isolate some of the most vulnerable people in the world because they could make a buck off of it. Assholes.
Timothee Chalamet was a surprisingly good Paul Atreides but WTF happened to Zendaya? She looked nothing like this in Spiderman. The end of the movie wrapped things up pretty good so is part 2 an adaptation of Dune Messiah or something?
Pic related.
Shoutout to Tervell for keeping this comm active. If it weren't for him this place would be SPARSE but instead we've got multiple posts a day of interesting gun pictures. He's pretty cool for doing that.
Thanks dude!
Pic unrelated, it's a Cuban soldier, the optic on the AKM is the domestically produced Visor Patria.
Wall Street Journal Article archive.ph link
Boeing has been awarded the contract for the NGAD program, and will produce the next generation of fighter jets used by the United States. The aircraft is said to be the first 6th generation fighter, said to employ novel technologies such as AI assistance. It will be part of a new "family of systems" that will include unmanned "loyal wingman" fighter aircraft . The designation F-47 appears to pay homage to Donald Trump, the 47th president.
The Wall Street Journal says that the price tag per aircraft will be "several hundred million each", for reference, the final cost per F-35 is around $80 million.
This feels like a story from The Onion ngl.
Audibly cackled when I saw this one today, it's got about 32 hours of relevance left lmao

Thank you!
Are there any restrictions on what topic I can write about? I was thinking about writing an article on obscure weapon sighting systems.
