HRT is available for cis people already.

HRT should be available for cis people btw. You shouldnt need to hate your body to modify your body in the way you want to. Gender isnt real. God isnt real. We have the technology to improve so many peoples lives on a whim. Give estrogen to femboys. Give testosterone to tomboys. Let people improve themselves

Mebic iis it ok to eat more than 1 vitamin chewable if the chewables tasted like candy (I ate 12 of them)

dont take more than the recommended dosage. of course it depends on the vitamin and your age and a couple other factors but too many of certain types of vitamins and minerals can be toxic

just typed out a war and peace style post about wanting there to be an equivalent of body neutrality in feminist spaces re: periods/childbirth/etc and though there are so many caveats to what I have to say, I think that there can and should be a middle ground between "your divine feminine body was built for these processes and you will embrace the pain with grace/this is easy for everybody" and borderline misogynistic fearmongering surrounding standard bodily phenomena

I know I've promised to share the Naruto meta analyzing key aspects of the series through several academic lenses that I've been writing, and I have shared the rough draft of the introduction. I'm posting this to let anyone who's been waiting for it know that I'm going to have to take an indefinite hiatus. I need to focus on my health, which has rapidly been declining, with no answers. All of the tests and specialists I've been through; MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, bloodwork (a LOT of bloodwork), urine testing, everything. I've been to a rheumatologist, a neurologist, a gastro surgeon; hell, the emergency room several times. I was fired from a job I really liked because I was missing too many days due to health issues. I had to withdraw from college due to my health. Everything is coming back normal, but my health worsening is NOT normal. I can barely even get out of bed without throwing up or needing to almost immediately lay back down because my heart feels like it's going to explode, so naturally, writing has not been my highest priority; hopefully you can understand.

Watching a video from a YouTuber I follow discussing how they picked the sperm donor for their child and I have to admit I have more questions about some of the comments

Like 'you talk about selecting donor traits like you're picking something at the supermarket' okay well first of all I genuinely don't know how you can discuss picking traits in a donor any other way? In a system that gets you a ton of info detached from, you know, actually knowing the person, at some point I feel like a level of detachedness is a bit inevitable

Also, let's be honest, picking donor traits is a thing that happens for kids born of consensual sex, it's just that at the time you do it you're thinking of them as things you like in a sexual partner? I mean like, there are people out there who refuse to date blondes or absolutely will not romantically engage with a Taurus, and personally I think they're the same vein of choices just less explicitly so?

I'm also kind of amazed that people seem to assume meeting the donor's other children is either a big yes from the get go or a permanent no like. The YouTuber in question's child is 3, are we really saying it's unethical not to send them to meet other potentially significantly older random kids yet? There are nuances there idk

I did find the discussions on the child's perspective interesting, and definitely it's worth looking at in more depth definitely

A little funfact

I headcanon PK as an introvert (I mean. Duh. Being a recluse is like one of the few things we know about him) and Flower as extrovert/ambivert with severe anxiety

I’ve always had trouble justifying why the Fallout pre-war society would be so normal and why people wouldn’t be quarantining like crazy because of the New Plague/Blue Flu but in the “post” Covid era it makes perfect sense. The quarantine for the New Plague first went into effect in 2053 so by 2077 of course people would be back out and about acting normal even if the sickness was still largely uncured and problematic.

I’ve been having a rough few days, but I’ve been feeling a bit better so I decided to make some lil thingies for some spiraling upwards kitties :3

[reinemichele]

I swear I'm trying to type out the thing about my brain but I'm really not sure how much detail I feel comfortable going into... I used to be so open on here, but then uh, I had several big falling outs with friends and a couple of them started stalking me, so I left my blog on queue since 2014 and then stopped posting from 2016 to 2020. The only place I felt comfortable making posts relating to my personal life or mildly dissenting fandom-related posts was on a locked twt account with only 20-40 people on it.

Anyway, I'm Trying

[alarming health stuff, internalized ableism cw]

no, moogle, it is not in fact fishing for sympathy or making excuses for dropping the ball on things or whatever to talk about it when your health issues continue to get worse. you are not scaring people for attention when you post on your personal blog about the fact that you aren't sure yet whether your current condition might be 'dangerous but recoverable' or 'irreversible, incurable, and usually fatal.' stop that.

Having a Glasses Problem is one of the most stressful kinds of problem to have. Its like ok, if this doesn't go well I will be...losing my access to vision for an undetermined amount of time. That is...not manageable at all

Bad health community I seek insight.

So I have a terrible immune system. This began in my teenage years. As a kid I do not remember struggling with colds and such, at least to the degree I do now. (I did struggle physically though they were not immune system related)

Currently I have a cold, I’ve had it for almost 2.5 weeks. It started with a fever and nausea, then awful congestion, then a bad cough. I get sick around every 1-2 months, often with something similar. It is usually because someone I know is sick and then I will keep said sickness for awhile. It is going away but unfortunately slowly. My colds seem to last 2.5 weeks almost every time while my peers last a day or two.

Is this simply a case of a bad immune system?
