So today, I will have a teeny, tiny needle jabbed into my face a couple hundred times. With each stab it will have an electric current turned on to kill a hair follicle.

Yes... A single hair follicle. One hair follicle at a time, for an hour.

I am not looking forward to this at all. Not all trans women/transfemme people get electrolysis on their face but I am.

<sarcasm font>Let me tell ya folks... being #trans isn't all rainbows and unicorns 24/7 like you might think. </sarcasm font>

Every girl who does electrolysis deserves pizza and ice cream

Okay, y'all, I need the Mastodon group mind here I think - please.

Someone told me about a TV Show or movie that was Agatha Christie talking to Poirot about Curtain...

It was older - 80's? I think...

Anyone know of that work? I keep wanting to think it's "The Murder Book" but do you know how many results that search gets you? 🤷‍♂️

Can someone in the hive mind let me know if you know?

Thanks!

@lisamelton? I'm gonna ask for a boost here if you can...

Ok honest question is this too aggressive for a 38 year old woman or am I pulling it off

Me, a white woman with curly brown hair. I’m wearing a gray crop top and jean shorts. Side view.

I’m having a rough go of it lately. Feeling stressed and sort of adrift... like I’m unmoored and don’t know how to get back to a starting point.

The bathroom project is stressing me pretty bad. My mother in-law has lifelong untreated mental health issues that manifesting more and more. As it result she is causing stress for all of us in the house. We have my wife’s youngest staying with us for a couple of weeks while off from college which adds to the dynamic and not really in a good way.

We had a heavy rainstorm that happened about a month ago that flooded our street in the middle of the night. We didn’t know until we realized one of our cars started smelling like mold a couple days later. Just found out insurance totaled it and we are screwed because of that.

I’m still dealing with pretty serious physical health problems, work sucks, my biz partner is horrid immature man-child, pretty sure i fucked up my tax filing and actually owe a lot of money, i don’t have a therapist anymore (haven’t for two months) and I stubbed my little toe this morning.

Besides that I’m doing fucking great.

Question for @Flipboard

Is there a way to flip @lisamelton's coverage of the Hush Money Trial into a magazine to follow that way? Her curation is :boost_requested:🥇

I don’t particularly care what celebrities are wearing to the met gala.

But some people do.

Some people are passionate about fashion. Some people have had a shit week and just want to talk about something fun and not think about hard things for a few minutes. All of which is ok.

You can just let folks enjoy things.

I was just talking to nesting partner and it hit me that I have girl parts now and I burst into happy tears. I did it, I beat them, I won.

@lisamelton
Lisa, at your discretion:

@Nonilex has been live-tweeting #Trump trial, in a very newbie-friendly, easy to understand way, especially if you can't read all previous threads to catch up.

From the boost count, leadership looks lower than what she deserves. I suspect it's just that people don't know about her feed. If you boost her once, I think people would become aware and could decide which live feed to follow.

Up to you.

lisamelton, 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to opensource

March 31 was already significant to me because that's the day in 1998 when I helped #Netscape Navigator become #OpenSource.

Now this day has a whole new meaning for me as a #transgender woman. And it's my first #TransDayOfVisibility that I celebrate publicly since coming out to everyone on June 21 of last year.

To all my #trans siblings, I see you. Even if complete visibility isn't possible for you right now. You still matter. You're still loved. And you're still trans. Never doubt that. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂💖

#introduction

My name is Elizabeth but please call me Lisa.

I'm probably best known as the person who started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple. You may think you know my deadname but... you don't.

I've drawn underground comics, pioneered using a Mac for newspaper graphics and developed software at Adobe and Netscape.

Now I write video #transcoding scripts and sometimes podcast.

Follow me and I'll fill your timeline with boosts.
