Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble.

@pisscotheque@godforsaken.website I grew up in a rural area and one of the big schisms among the boys in my school was Red tractors (Case IH) or Green tractors (John Deere). (The other binaries they'd fight about were similar brand loyalties about snowmobiles and pickup trucks 😂)

@JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw I had to sign a waiver saying I knew I am taking my testosterone for off-label reasons. Lots of warnings about not letting it touch a woman. It's just for men whose dick don't work good.

@pisscotheque@godforsaken.website I didn't date when I was in high school and I worried that this was because I was terminally unattractive but also it was because I was NOT interested in these boys.

@thatfrisiangirlish@blahaj.zone @Tattie@eldritch.cafe Terry Pratchett is my go-to on this. In a conversation about the equivalent of Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, etc., the personification of Death says: As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies. The human (for these purposes) who he's talking to says: So we can believe the big ones? Death says: Yes. Justice, mercy, duty. That sort of thing.

@Willow@chaosfem.tw I started T while perimenopausal, I was 41 or 42, and I'm on a cis-normal dose. I went from always being cold to being pretty close to one of those guys who wears shorts all year round, I'm always too warm now. I sweat more (though the smell of the sweat seems actually less bad then it did pre-T!). I have more appetite now (as far as I can tell, other things complicate this). The fat redistribution was SUCH a relief for me. And it's easier to gain muscle, esp in my upper body.

England, football, domestic abuse
Years ago I learned that domestic abuse rises when England's men's team lose a big match. It's haunted me ever since, leaving me on edge when I know the games are happening (yeah I was a lot of fun at parties, why do you ask). I fervently wish for their early from tournaments, yet was conflicted because them losing feels so dangerous. Welp I've just read that it's even worse than they win! https://thenewfeminist.co.uk/2026/06/domestic-abuse-rises-most-when-england-win-says-new-data/ I'm glad they're finally out of the World Cup.

@skeletor@mas.to Just sending some love to people with chronic illnesses or disabilities who might feel bad if they have had to quit things. Quitting can in our contexts be a relief, and freeing, or an unavoidable loss that deserves to be mourned like any other, or just a neutral necessary thing. But it's certainly not your fault. :disabled_heart:

I cannot possibly express how stunned I was, in this year of our Jacob Misiorowski 2026, to see the #MNTwins' Bailey Ober of all people throw not just a Maddux but one of less than ninety pitches.

Bailey Ober didn't throw a pitch over 89 miles an hour and he also won the game in 89 pitches!!!

That's not even just a Maddux, I think it should get to be its own thing.

If your fastest pitch is less than 90mph and you win the game in less than 90 pitches, surely we can call that an Ober now.

@Zahlenzauberin@dresden.network It doesn't happen to everyone - two friends of mine who are also cold all the time hoped that T would make them warmer and it doesn't seem to have - so there's no guarantee of course. But it has been a dramatic difference in my case!

Wearing a binder in the heat isn't so bad if I don't wear anything over it. I hadn't been brave enough to do this so far (outside of one transgym session last summer) but I went to the store yesterday with "it's just a crop top" vibes and it was totally uneventful. This has been another installment of my #TransMundanity "say when things are fine as a #trans person" campaign, because otherwise the little wins, moments of safety or acceptance, don't get talked about and only the bad stuff does.
