trans surgery questions
so i'm getting my orchiectomy in just under a month and realized is should probably tell work that i need to take some time off soon
how much time did people take off work? when i asked at the surgeon's office they suggested 2 weeks. i work from home so i don't need to worry about commuting or anything, just the ability to sit at a desk and be reasonably comfortable
also, how did you communicate this to more casual acquaintances? for work, i'm thinking of saying "i need 2 weeks off for medical leave" or "2 weeks off for minor surgery" or something like that
but i'm also kind of curious if there's another surgery that would have a comparable recovery time that i could say it is if someone is nosy but i don't feel like revealing what it actually was to them (for work i'm sure i can keep it very generic but i want to have a "safe" answer ready)

@davidgerard@circumstances.run as one of the comments in the reddit post mentions, the last two characters are the Greek letter Koppa (Ϟ). but two of them together sure looks like the SS symbol in many fonts and what the fuck would they be using Greek letters in this context anyway

𖥞 BAMUM LETTER PHASE-D MVOP
꥟ REJANG SECTION MARK
the Bamum are an ethnic group in Cameroon, while Rejang is a language in Sumatra
so clearly they were chosen for their appearance rather than anything having to do with Slavic culture

@bazkie@beige.party that's cool to see them! from the wikipedia page it sounds like they're in relatively small numbers outside of north america
they're super common here, you can easily see hundreds of in a park or flying overhead when they're migrating through
they are extremely aggressive and messy birds, but i still think they're kind of neat :3

@xorlou@lgbtqia.space @SleepyCatten@cultofshiv.wtf if it makes you feel any better, i didn't feel comfortable dressing more femme or talking about pronouns or other gender stuff with even people i was very close to until i was about 1.5 years on hrt
but then it just kind of clicked suddenly and i started to feel really comfortable with all of that. before that time i felt pretty stuck
ymmv of course, but i hope you get there soon!

@josh@masto.byrd.ws the whole field of economics is basically a pseudoscience, and it probably has the highest death tool of any other pseudoscience thanks to neoliberalism

@futurebird@sauropods.win musk has said in recent interviews that datacenters in space are good because cooling is free
which is so obviously stupid it kind of makes me wonder if it's just a cover for something else, but musk is also incredibly stupid so who knows

staining wood is a painful process so i wouldn't want to undo all that hard work either :3
btw you can buy whiteboard paint if you have any unusual surfaces you want to turn into a whiteboard (tho it's probably way cheaper to just buy a whiteboard)
