I do read a bunch, and I’ll check these out, thanks! Also the movie recommendation is interesting, I wasn’t very positively predisposed seeing the promotional material, but you’re not the first person to praise it. I gotta give it a chance
Also, yeah, it seems hard to find tv shows or movies for trans joy, because of the ol’ capital problem, but, some things some people do, like charlieecharmine’s apparently thesis film… I don’t know, it’s incredible
Everything ceicocat related ❤️
I found her when I didn’t even yet know anything about my sexuality, much less gender. There’s something incredible about vibing with people and art before you know why.
And lemme ask, how long is “soon” in this context?
First of all, I love the Mama Bear energy of you writing this incredible two-max-comment size Guide On Dysphoria 101 in response to a panicky post.
Thank you, it really makes me feel cared about.
I have been with a therapist for a long amount of time, and she’s great, and I’ll probably be telling her about my latest egg-cracking, so that will help, as well as the support from the few really good people around me I can trust with this. Also the SSRIs I’ve been on for a year are probably playing their part.
So, this is more of a poking-your-brain moment if you’d like to answer, but…
My dysphoria isn’t really… Motivating me. It’s a cold slush. I see you wrote about how you socially transitioned as soon as you found out, “out of fear of going back in the closet for a decade”. For myself, right now, I think I see enormous value in starting HRT, because that might be one of the few ideas/things that make me feel motivated, while everything else is scary and makes me go limp. It’s probably the anxiety. But I think I have a particularly hard time surviving euphoria, not dysphoria lol.
So I wanted to ask, how have you experienced the joy? What has felt good enough to you, to brave it all?
I’ll start by sharing my recent watch that made me feel life is worth it, a video essay on “I saw the TV glow”, by Media Processing
The amount of literally years-old commented-out-but-not-deleted functions and code blocks in my code, says it wants to chat with your meme.
You know. Just in case.
So now the government has absolute detail on every single thing you need to authenticate for, online. Nothing could go wrong there.
I don’t think there’s any good safe way for verification to even be achieved, even if there was a good reason for it, which, honestly, I think there isn’t.
I would appreciate an explanation, honestly, cause I got no idea what in looking at, but it feels like nerdy autistic inside jokes and I’m all for that shit
I mean, tax fraud is very enjoyable, yes.
Don’t give up! It’s objectively harder to reach the “feeling good” stage in comparison to the man-handle, because if you’re tense, the muscle in there hurts because it tenses and is really strong. It tensing around something non-soft, makes it hurt, it hurting makes you panic, and you panicking makes you tense more.
And when you’re panicking and hurting, you can’t really get horny. Instead you have to work it and explore it slowly, so you’re relaxed throughout, in order to reach the feel-good stage first, and then it’s mostly downhill from there haha
Sure. Only, what you’re saying reinforces what I said. Rich immigrants like you, from higher economic class, as well as rich locals and those capable of serving them, enjoy tourist towns. Duh.
No need to take into account those locals unable to work in those industries.
I get the sense that the post is ironic, and op has the same opinion as you. But hey, nothing is too explicit on the internet, it’s probably better to state it all clearly.
Sounds to me like you weren’t dumb, you were just doing a bunch of Shit trying to heal from a shitty hand dealt by life. Healing requires dumb shit I believe. Were you not doing your best by the people around you? That’s what I would call dumb shit instead, if so, yeah.
But your comment shows a really stand-up side of you, so damn, congrats on becoming this person after all.
If you’re a quasi-rich sociopathic pedophile, it pays dividends to get richer, to be able to avoid consequences.
That’s a general rule in capitalism and maybe society in general. If there’s a way to receive less consequences for shitty acts, those that want to do shitty acts will flock to that path.
The shitty acts then becomes a pseudo-reward for power, and community forms around that.
Because you seem like a person wanting to learn and not a bot, here is a video by John Oliver, 6 years ago, about the actual local situation in Everest.
The causes will be varied, and the housing market is not threatened in Everest because tourists don’t use houses in Everest the way tourists use houses in Europe (Airbnb), but they’re is always incredible damage in whatever thing, local owners use tourist money, to fuck local workers about, not caring for the Shit and damage left behind. In the case is Everest, that Shit is literal. In other places, that Shit is off-season ghost towns, underfunded schools and local necessities, and corrupt local politicians.
This is just capitalism by design, it’s not unique to tourism. It IS the owner’s fault, not the tourist’s, but the tourist buys the meal that the local no longer can afford, because tourists by definition go be tourists in cheaper countries than their own. Do you understand what that means? The locals that serve the tourists, get so little money in comparison, that it’s not even funny.
Tourism economy is the best economy, for the tourists and their white western touristy values, not the working exploited local class who gets priced out of their life by rich owners.
Rich owners get disproportionally richer by tourist money (by definition much more than the locals, because that’s what makes tourism possible), and then the local economy bends around them.
“It’s up to locals to learn to manage it well and not get corrupted” - my brother in Christ this is basic individualism and victim blaming in a trenchcoat. “Corruption” isn’t a magical thing, it happens because of the proportionally obscene extra money in the pockets of the few.
It’s basically this: tourism doesn’t happen between equals, and the money of the richer tourists goes down the road all money does in capitalism. Concentrated further unless redistributed via politics, and politics bends to money over time.
If you live in tourist towns, as in going around exploring instead of having your future stolen and become nearly unable to both live and leave, you’re part of the people rich enough to enjoy the benefits, whether you know it or not.
It’s not a House-made soup, it’s Home-made.
A House is a building. A Home is something more. It’s a place where you find family.
Therefore, Homes are composite organisms, whose member organisms are capable of acting on behalf of the total.
It’s therefore correct to say, that yes, a Home did make that soup.
… So? How do you feel?
One word: “Zippers”.
Gotta get me an epilator, it literally sounds fun. Maybe that’s the masochism talking, but still lol.
Also Infinity Train, all 4 seasons, has been a fucking cultural godsend, I loved all of it
