my mum is so funny she went to call me "chickadee" and then faltered halfway and ended up with "chicka..dude" (because that's more masculine i guess? 😭 my #1 ally)

The real biggest downside of no longer being on T is my fuckinf fingers and toes are FREEZING COLD

Another access barrier to testosterone that I have never seen anyone mention online: insurance covers the hormones, but not the needles, and the pharmacy wants to charge you $20 whole fucking dollars for TWO (2) sets of syringes and needles every single time. this has been true for me in both WI and MI. Insurance will almost never cover other types of T in my experience (topical is too expensive and jatenzo (pill) is brand new to the market, ive only heard of one trans guy taking it, and his prescribing doctor was also a trans guy). also, sometimes you get a fucked up needle tip and you have to waste an additional tip to swap to a fresh one. This leaves no room for such errors. I have no idea if the pharmacy would swap those out for free (they can afford to), but even so, that's still a whole extra trip to the store.

Planned Parenthood sends out $10 needle kits here, but even that is kind of steep considering I've bought more than a year's worth of bulk supply needles and BOTH types of tips for about $30 from medical supply cos. Also, they gave us both a subQ kit last time instead of IM so it didn't go as far for us.

anyway my friend is a literal angel and bought us a bulk order of syringes (we got 100 needles and 100 tips -- also you can get a pack of 200 alcohol pads for TWO (2) dollars!!) so that should last us about a year, but my insurance OUGHT to be the ones responsible and it's soooo funny and cute how they just don't have to do that :') yeah here's your injectable hormones. have fun injecting them. with your syringe lol. byeeee.

lmao call that a royal jelly

one thing i CANNOT forgive that they took away in the new pjo series is the very small moment when percy and annabeth are squinting trying to read the sign on Aunty Em's Emporium

Percy asking what does it say and annabeth being like "i have no idea" and Grover having to translate to them bc they’re both dyslexic and cant read in red cursive neon english

like is such a small moment but is such a core memory to me

Pow you messed with the Wreckers. Or something haha

Listen I don’t have a type. BUT SOMEHOW every time I find and add a character to my favorites, he turns out to be a wrecker. My best theory - I have a built-in wrecker radar~

Some old guy said "thanks son" to me at work today it was the nicest most affirming interaction I have ever had I wanted to cry (not from sadness)

I know I'm very stupid for not having realized this was a possible outcome, but pre-T my thought process on transmascs on T complaining about ass hair was always "well I already have ass hair so what could this possibly do to me that I'm not already dealing with"

And uh. Unfortunately, it turns out that T can change the density and texture of body hair to a degree that is sometimes. Physically uncomfortable.
