Morning my pet. Today's breakfast is duck eggs. The yolks were prepared as a crispy treat and the whites were made into an egg white omelet. This pairs really well with an Earl Grey tea or a ginger tea if you don't like caffeine. Of course, I'll feed you a bite if you come to my table and beg me just right. ❤️
Morning my pet. Would you like a bowl? If you crawl towards me and swear you're going to be a good pet today, I'll let you have some. I'll even feed it to you. Would you like that? Tell me something positive about yourself and swear you're going to be good for me, my pet. ❤️😈

"Lola" is a 1970 song by the English rock band the Kinks
It details a romantic encounter between a young man and a possible crossdresser or #transwoman whom he meets in a club
He is confused towards Lola, yet he remains infatuated with her
"Lola" was a top ten hit in the UK and the US and called "the first significantly blatant gay-rock ballad"
Remarkable that this song came out in 1970, when #LGBTQ people were discriminated and criminalised
Mae Dean quote-boosted the author that wrote this blog post on Bluesky and I figured linking it here would be useful for my followers, particularly #transfems planning on/currently taking/thinking about taking #estrogen and maybe #progesterone if uncertain about the 1-2 year "maximum effect" thing studies mention, because (spoiler) they weren't long enough: https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/transition-timelines

TRANSFEM BRAIN TRUST: What boob prosthetics would you suggest for transfem who has very little growth or development?
Please reply with suggested products! The girl I'm asking for is willing to spend a medium amount $80 - $100 if it is really worth it and can be worn with a more revealing tank top or other tops. She said she wants to find a full chestplate or full chest prosthetic. If there's something that's more affordable, that would be great too!
Elagabalus was made a Roman Emperor at the age of just 14. The Emperor often wore wigs and makeup, and liked to be referred to by feminine titles. Elagabalus reportedly offered a large sum of money to any doctor who could give them a vagina.
“Maintain yourself, find your community who loves you for you and who wants to celebrate you. Being yourself as you navigate the world in a way that’s safe and authentic and good to you is going to help in the long run. Know that you’re loved and supported, that time goes on and more people will see us for who we are as we continue to advocate for ourselves.” Aaron Philip
