Those are quite cute! I was thinking about a silicone veil that pushes back against the skin but veils the needle. It seems like a considerable amount of waste though.

My ex solved this by tattooing the area he'd inject. Well, not solved, it's never solved. Just found a way to cope, like it seems you have as well. I think some people really hate hurting themselves. Needle pain is such a specific pain, because it's piercing. I am wondering if a simple addition could assist people as they need to self-administer medications. Something as simple as a translucent colored tip. I am not sure, it'd probably would not only fudge with the mechanics, but also add too much waste/cost. It's just that you are not alone in this. Plenty of people need to inject themselves regularly, and there's probably some simple solution that could assist in making these medical devices just as functional while being a little less intimidating in form.

Mind you, I know they're not toys.

Hehehehehehehe!

Right back at you! Very lovely response.

I understand your mom's madness. You gotta keep the rotation going with beans, or you could run out! Since they've gotta soak and what not. The best foods are the simplest, it's always that way! I've got a book that I use most days. It's got the ugliest cover that ever lived, but I don't really care about that. I just open the thing, pick the area I want to focus on and go. There is not one pretty thing about the whole process, but it gives me a physical tell which is actionable. I have some cork blocks, but the mat can suck eggs. Anything needing particular padding I use a throw for.

On the big sads, I think that the various internal/external adversities we can face as humans can cause a multitude of issues. To the point where you can solve one, and even if it was the "biggest" one or the one that caused the most pain you'll find your battle isn't over yet. While things are hard to find, I swear to you if you can find someone who you can work through these things with it helps a lot. It doesn't really have to be one person, if you can find a group it can be like...queer magic!

Don't forget to be kind to yourself. Incremental gains and patience are best practices. It helps keep you from getting overwhelmed and being able to manage your time and energy. As someone who goes from 0 to 100, it has been a painful gain but it's helped so much. GL sis, you're gunna be fine!

True story, wasp attacks are insane. Not one of them, but the brutality of their union.

Are these the big chunkas that grab on to the whole bodies of grasshoppers and pull them into their nests for the bebes?

This is the music the robots will listen to when they take over.

My blackout curtains have white on the other side I am not sure much about the science behind them but they make it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They're quite dark on the inside. I got what I paid for. I don't think all curtains are made equally.

It's just as brainless.

This might sound funny, but I swear the four walls help. When I lived right off the water a dehumidifier helped with the high-humidity. Black-out curtains help keep the sun out, but they also keep the sun out if you catch me. Outside of that, I've heard ventilation. Don't forget to drink water, keep your electrolytes solid and take care of yourself.

Was this taken before, or after you died?

I mean, how can you not? My papi used to cook them for me many moons ago, and I still very much so think fondly of them. I have been thinking, so often, about how easy it is to be trans and have an eating disorder. I know this sounds awful, but I have been wondering how many parts dysmorphia are linked. As most of the trans people I have dated or befriended have had one. The masc ones tend to have one to keep andro/masc features. Fem tend to have them either linked to pain or control it always seems. I wish I could say there were some magic way to make folks gain weight where they want. I mean, I guess surgery or working out. I meant more so eat some beans, get some boobies! An ex of mine started taking her hormones properly, and because estrogen loves saving calories for a rainy day, she did end up getting a pair. She gained weight as a whole however, and then lamented that because not all the areas she gained them were where bio-gals tended to gain them.

Now on the fainting and what not, are you okay? Are you eating what you need, as often as you do? Can you integrate small and smooth low impact exercises to work on helping build endurance? To be honest with you, while people are pigs about transwomen (mostly, I think they think transmen don't exist?), they're seemingly still knocking on their doors for the sessy. I can't tell you a damn thing about dating. Likewise, that was super pig-headed because the person you look good for first and foremost is yourself! But I see you know that. You good mami, no worries! Just love you for you.
