@JoscelynTransient How you describe your name reminds me of kintsugi, which in this random internet photo below is also called kintsukuroi. Your repaired name is more beautiful and unique than the original.

Former coworker texts me out of the blue after like 6 years. Wants to meet for coffee.

After informing him of my new name and the reason behind it, he nopes out, no longer interested.

And thus I am reminded of the immortal words of the good doctor, @Impossible_PhD

    @rooster That tattoo mod is pretty great!

    And the all-curves mod.

    Is it weird that God made seven days and named them after other gods?

    @odoruhako @dgar Seriously, it’s like professional respect.

    “No other gods before me, but seriously, in a lightning battle my moneys on that Thor guy. Have you seen that hammer? Wow! He gets a day for sure. Props to you, thunder guy!”

    Okay, honest question:

    Is there just a certain amount of time you get into transition when the longing desire to show your whole-ass boobs to people set in?

    Asking for, erm, no reason in particular. 😇

    @bumpus@mas.to avatar

    @Impossible_PhD I look forward to that day. It’s going to be post-BA and it’s going to be glorious. I don’t know if I actually will, but I know that I’ll want to.

    It’s not trans on trains, but it is trans on transit, so maybe it counts?

    Also, FFS in 2 months! I don’t know what the selfie situation will be like after that. I mean, gory at first, hopefully better later? We’ll see.

    @ada I don’t lack for selfies now, but I imagine I will turn it up to 11 later this year, I am so excited!

    Living as a trans woman requires so much more courage than my privileged male cis-het life ever did. (*)

    If you know any trans folks, especially ones early in transition, please encourage them and lift them up. It is so damn hard and scary sometimes.

    I think about what @siege said often, because it takes courage to live in a world that is often indifferent or hostile to my existence and these words give me courage.

    A German acquaintance just introduced me to "atombusen" the German word for huge boobs, but which literally translates as "atomic breasts," and this is officially my favorite word for huge boobs ever.

    @Impossible_PhD I have a BA consult later today. That doctor is absolutely going to hear this word I just learned!

    Most days I am filled with joy for the future I get to have as Nora, as my happy, awake and alive and transitioning true self.

    Other days I am filled with sadness for the life not lived. The girlhood I’ll never have. The experiences missed. The opportunities to that passed me by and will never, ever come back.

    Today is the second kind of day, and it’s rough.

    Not the 39th birthday shots I thought I'd be taking a few years ago. 🤭

    @Impossible_PhD Amazing! And probably way better than what you of a few years ago was imagining. Happy 39!

    I hate getting messy foods on my hands. Is that an everyone who is autistic thing or a just some people who are autistic thing?

    @Sci_Fi_FanGirl @JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic I’m with you. I cannot eat without napkins and wipe my hands and face clean constantly. But I mind less when they get dirty otherwise, like working in the yard or on cars.

    Day two of slow-rolling boudior shots. 💅

    Just sitting in a chair.

    Not very sexy at all. 🤭

    @Impossible_PhD You look incredible, thank you for sharing. I am now looking forward to my own boudoir shoot. One more thing I didn’t know I needed until I needed it!

    That feeling when you realize something about your neurodivergence that neatly explains a whole bunch of oddities, including why you can't shut off, or even really dial the information grinder in the back of your fucking head down for a while, despite the fact that you've always desperately wanted to

    And the reason why means that you will never be able to, because it's everywhere, all around you, at all times, and will be forever.

    Good times. Good times.

    @Impossible_PhD I was diagnosed with ADHD recently. There are treatments for some symptoms, if not a cure. The evaluator suggested I should be evaluated for Autism, for which there is no treatment. So yeah; I have very different feelings about these things, but knowing neither one is never going anywhere, ever, is a thing I think about a lot.

    Last year at this time I knew I was trans but was having trouble picking a new name. It was 1 year ago today when @Impossible_PhD nudged me to choose from my heart rather than my head. And so I went with Nora, and I have not regretted it one bit. Happy name day to me!

    @Terra Taking ownership of your life can be terrifying. But you’re doing it, and you’re doing it scared which is the definition of bravery. You’re gonna do awesome and it’s going to be amazing. 9 days!

    @rooster Self love is denser than dysphoria, so it makes sense.
