Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600
The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.
The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

Re-watched I saw the tv glow 2 weeks ago with my girlfriend and it fucking destroyed me the second time around. Really took me by surprise because I didn't even tear up the first watch.
Same week I started sobbing from the pain during my laser session, like I was a total mess. I absolutely could not stop it from happening and It's not something that ever happened to me pre transition.
Today I connected just a little too hard with a song and started crying on my drive home.
E has turned me into a crybaby and I fucking love it. I love crying. Why? No clue, maybe it's because it's a sign that my emotions are actually available to me now.
Ya girl also started stimulants last week and today I doubled my dosage from 5mg to 10mg and I feel so so so emotionally energized.
i'm reduced to a soggy mess on a daily basis now & it's honestly incredible. like, i just wasn't able to before & will absolutely take being a perpetual crybaby over that anyday
yeah partner & i are often watching stuff i know for sure will do me in & i find myself looking forward to it in a way. turns out it actually is kind of a cleansing experience!
My mom went to visit my sister in Australia, I cried saying bye to her lol
I used to NEVER cry. Even when my step mom died, or my grandma. I wanted the tears to come, they just didn't. I had medically dry eyes lol I needed eye drops
Now I cry, when I see something happy or sad like a video of a poor abused street puppy being adopted and turning healthy and happy and trusting. I cry when I'm frustrated - including in public, which was HORRIFYING at first because it also happens at work lol anyway, I've made peace with it.
