  • Just got diagnosed last week, and I am well into adulthood.

    It's a bit early yet. I am on starter meds and have a follow up appointment in a few weeks. Already though I have noticed impulse control is much better. It's like I have a time machine that's given me a few extra moments to respond to stimuli. Anxiety levels are also way down, and I don't feel the frazzled need to jump to the next thing, trying to get a dopamine fix.

    Trying now to pursue a 3 prong style of treatment: medication, forming new habits, and mindfulness/observation. I am doing mood journaling to try to capture my experience.

  • Ran (1985).

    Great cinematography, slow burn rising action like the building of a storm, and Lady Kaede is quite possibly one of the most subtly unsettling characters I've ever seen portrayed in fiction.

  • Yeah you get it, exactly. The way they used to describe airplane safety back in the 90s seemed based on "chance to be in a plane crash," and while those numbers were pretty reassuring, the numbers for "chance to survive a plane crash" were not.

  • The way that airline safety is positioned has always annoyed me. Back in the day they used to say, "Your odds of dying in a car crash are greater than dying in a plane crash." That statement never sat right with me because while the aggregate number of casualties is greater for car crashes than airline crashes, it doesn't address the survivability for the passengers of a single incident.

    I forget the statistics, but depending on the type of car crash, passenger seat position mattered in a car, with higher mortality rates for the driver's side vs passenger side, and higher mortality for front seat vs back seat.

    Now what about a single airplane crash? It doesn't matter if you are seated in first class, business class, economy, the flight deck, or in the cargo hold. Survivability rates for the entire plane are low for the entire plane in the event of a crash.

    Yes, planes have less incidents compared to cars, but if a plane has a problem, it's going to be a big problem for everyone on board.

    • Japan.
    • JPY 980 per month.
    • Plan includes up to 3GB per month 4g/5g data, and when going over 3GB, the data cap increases to 20GB for an additional JPY 1000. Unlimited voice and text, global roaming to 90 countries included.

    Still don't get bars inside some big buildings though :p

  • Feels like pressure.

    At times it's just a barely noticeable background level of weight, like sure I can handle this, no big deal. At other times, it feels like a crushing weight, painful, can barely even sleep, and all I can do is seek some kind of gender affirming euphoria to feel some relief.

    Tonight is one of the latter, after feeling like I clothed myself in lies and had to perform all day, the pressure is unbearable. Looking forward to an evening of painting nails, makeup and spinny skirt.

  • Would highly recommend joining a community garden to anyone. I was a total beginner, paid 30 bucks for my yearly plot. There were always people who were willing to give advice, water the plot while I was away, or people even gifted transplants of new veggies I'd never tried. Learned so much from experienced gardeners, got free mulch and fertilizer and there was even a community barbecue. 11/10 experience.
