I feel so lucky my parents went with Michigan instead of Tennessee (family in both)... It has been pretty much painless to get on HRT, change all my names, change my gender marker even on my birth certificate, etc. All as an adult though. So far I've never had issues in the bathrooms, though I'm almost never in rural areas, that could be a very different story.

I highly recommend finding a therapist in the normal manner and then confirming that they offer telehealth (I suspect most do), as opposed to BetterHelp and all those types of services. I have a great local therapist but if I'm ever not up to or can't come in, we just hop on a video call. It's good to have the option of going in person, even if you don't think you're there yet.

I repeat "I hate [company] and this is a shit ad" whenever I start hearing the same ad more than twice.

State flags are anti-US because the American flag is already all inclusive.

I have a migraine 😞 cut down from 3-5 cokes every day to 1. I just had today's one to hopefully that helps the migraine.

Thats a good point!

Sammeee except data analyst (by title, I guess) working in local healthcare. I'm under the impression I could make bank by selling out but I'm quite happy with 70k, a pension, and my dignity.

It's just as silly as using darn or frick, except they have none of the punch which is the purpose of swear words, ya know?

Local 👏 non 👏 profits (or govt)

I feel like those options are always immediately written off. It is possible to find good to great opportunities. Plenty of shit ones too of course but it's worth a look.

It feels good to work somewhere whose purpose is to support the community I live in.

Wow how fascinating! Thanks for sharing that video.

What a time to be alive... just to be able to see views like this... Just sad I'll probably never get to go to space or another planet :(

It's not too bad, they love a mile away so we still hang out :)

Finding other friends has been on my to-do list for a while. All mine moved away after college :/

I did adopt three kitties 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Thanks for sharing! I hope I find the energy to try!

I used Google but this seems a much more reliable guide, thanks :)

I'm so excited! I never even got around to trying bots much less beat the game, so 2.0 will be a good excuse to get back into it :)

My first appointment in years is coming up and I'm dreading it. My habits are so despicable I won't even describe them anonymously here... 😞

I'll be listening to Warrior Cats: What Is That 😻

I've never had a plum pie but my god I need that desperately.

I can't imagine. My therapist "both sided" the topic when it came up briefly. He's a smart man. America knows propaganda.

I'm glad you called it Aotearoa because I had never heard it called that before. Happy to have learned that today.

That's amazing, congratulations and good work!
