How else would you get exclusive skins for your bread?

Update on a new era of having emotions:

I’m learning a lot about moss and how it retains moisture and what the different shades mean for its health and how it feels when it dries out. For now my only way to wet it is to dunk it in floodwaters. There’s probably better ways to do it, but those will take time to build. Through trial and error I have a rough idea of how long to let it soak, how long to let it drip after, and how long to go between wettings. There’s still a lot to learn about how factors in my life affect it, but as I’ve put together the basics of a healthy environment for it, I’ve seen it start to grow. I’m not going to try to anticipate what it will grow into.

Absolutely. It's lovely

I talked last mega about how the dam of my emotional repression was cracking, and was going to break under the rising waters of estrogen.

Instead I went out deep in the forest and picked up a clump of moss. It slowly crept along my skin. Now there’s a thick layer over my whole body. My memories from before I was a moss creature feel stranger and stranger.

About your question of definitions more broadly, generally when a~n~ is defined, other subscripts a~i~, a~j~, a~m~, a~xyz~, are defined in the same way, even if that isn't specifically stated.
The a is what carries the properties of the sequence, and any variables in the subscript are just different ways of referencing the index. That can be to communicate a separation between concepts, or to set up relationships like i<=n that will be needed later

UTC-5 and UTC+4375

a_i and a_n are defined the same way, they're just examining two different numbers in the sequence, but each can only be defined after the previous numbers in the sequence have been defined. In your example, after determining a_0=0, you next have to evaluate n=1. This shows a_1 can't be 2, it has to be the largest integer such that 0+a_1/2 <= 0.32, so a_1 has to be 0. Next you evaluate a_2, which given a_0 and a_1 has to be 1.

This process is essentially expressing a number in a different base, but focusing on the non-integer part. What it's asking you to prove is similar to proving that a number in binary will only have digits 0 or 1, and a number in octal will only have digits 0-7.

Woke up this morning and my gender was swollen. I did use it pretty rough last night. I’ll have to go easy for a few days and work on my technique.

My number one reason for starting hrt was the emotional changes. I had some at the start, but I was disappointed that my years of repression and my trauma-driven fear of losing control and expressing an emotion were mostly able to hold back the changes. Estrogen kept up the emotional pressure, though, and exposed tensions that I could work on in therapy. Today I think there are serious cracks in the dam, and I’m getting to taste the water on the other side. It’s terrifying and I’m so excited.
