HRT is wild, y'all. Is it weird to be attracted to my own body odor?

In the aviation world, they don't use AM/PM times. Instead, all times are assumed to be AM unless they're labeled NOTAM.

I want your opinion of how she looks. Do you think she looks pretty, do you think she looks cool? Both?

I missed last week due to work and family commitments. I spent some time this week actually setting up a recording, storage, and filtering system for what I'm tracking, and it should reduce the amount of time it takes me to actually output stuff going forward, I it shouldn't be an issue again.

That said, last Friday saw a bunch of projects ending, as they rushed to get Print-on-Demand books out the door and in peoples' hands before Christmas. Things are a little slower this week, with only one Pathfinder-specific project of note coming or going: BattleZoo Ancestries: Titans.

Many projects are taking late pledges, though. I'm going to update things this week and try to list some of those going forward, starting next week.

Definitely sounds like one of Grant Howitt's mad one-page RPGs, looks like a fun one-shot!

You are a little goblin with a love of baking and big dreams. Dreams of joining the competitive baking circuit and taking home the grand prize: the golden cupcake and a lifetime supply of sprinkles. You’ve spent years perfecting your technique and studying recipes and you know you are ready. There is only one problem: the competition is only for humans.

Refusing to give up on your dream, you gather a group of your fellow baking enthusiasts and hatch a plan to enter the bake off: a human disguise. Over many hours you created the disguise and crafted a rock-solid identity for your human alias and you have just received word from bake off officials that you have been accepted into the competition! Together, you don the human disguise and make your way to the competition, knowing that you are going to win - by any means necessary.

The Great Goblin Bake Off is a prepless games about goblins infiltrating a baking competition for 1 GM and up to 5 players. It is played with 1d6 and two stats (GOBLIN and BAKER). Game text includes character creation tables for players and NPC and complication tables for the GM.

Yes I included beard and mustache stubble on purpose. I like my little fuzzy bits of beard and mustache and I plan to keep them even as I transition and become more feminine, though I'll likely always present and act more masc since that's what I like.

My only real source of dysphoria at the moment is towards my flat chest and the fact I lack any breasts, it makes me sad and I hope I can get on Estrogen soon so I can begin to change that.

I've been closeted for years now. It's not safe for me to be/express who I really am, and I have no idea if or when I'll ever be able to develop into an actual person. I intend to survive anyway, if only for the hope that I might somehow, someday make existence a little more bearable for others.

I find that I'm a bit more motivated to keep going when I've watched/read/listened to stuff that reminds me why I even try. Stuff that's beautiful and/or believes that it's worth it. Stuff that reminds me that I'm not the only one to do this, that I'm connected to everyone who came before and will come after, and that we're not alone.

What helped you survive what you went through? What helps you now?

Can be anything really, as long as it's something I can get my hands on via the internet. Preferably stuff without too much of a time investment (neurodivergence means I effectively have very little productive time), but honestly, I just want to hear from you.

EDIT: thanks for the replies everyone, i'm only seeing them now, i appreciate it <3

Hiya, got two very playful cats that both love to play. However often one ends up watching the other play with X toy. So was wondering if there are any specific toys where cats are "meant" to btoh use it at the same time? If so that would be cool.

So far we've mostly stuck to these original/typical toys, as in, paper bags, mouse on a thread and simple balls with bells, etc.. Feel free to suggest cat toys you've had most success with, need something new for our ones. Anyone here tried these automatically moving balls - any good?

Recently today I realized that I am in fact a trans girl. I made a post about it in !asktransgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone and after that I was reflecting a lot on my past, the mistakes I've made, and I realize I've made a lot of them. I've said horrible things about and to LGBTQ people, and just awful shit in general when I was younger. I was a young and stupid kid and I would say horrible things online, things I heard from other people or read online. Things I now regret and feel horrible about. I know I can never excuse any of them just because I was younger but I do deeply regret those mistakes, and I am deeply sorry I said any of those things. I know that isn't an excuse but I hope people can find it in them to forgive me for my awful mistakes and accept me as a new person.

I feel like the world has placed an challenge on my shoulders I cannot and will not overcome, from a young age I’ve been considered unattractive, people treated me as if I wasn’t human, people used to use tissue paper to hand me things, make faces at me and treat me as if I was sick. On top of this I have abused by my father, when I was 14 I realized I was a women and thought hrt would fix me if I just held out long enough to start it, unfortunately after 3 years hrt, a year on injections many elements of myself are horrible, the only difference is I get the same treatment mixed in with transphobia, i feel like the only reasonable conclusion I can come to is death. I’m sorry I feel like the world wanted me to prove you don’t have to be attractive to be trans. Unfortunately that weight has proved way to much, I’m sorry to my friends I know they tried and tried, but I know normal people can only do much. I’m sorry to society, I know my life was supposed be some learning lessons but fuck I’m a human bein
