Feelin disconnected and rudderless today. Did the productive things (i.e. phonecalls) and now I'm like uh, I dunno. Weird and flat.

autism talk
... so I'm realizing that irl, I really don't mask my autism at all, lol. I blurt things out at inappropriate times, I'm both exceedingly honest and exceedingly gullible, I don't make eye contact, I visibly act a little weird. I do not script conversations, I do not force eye contact, I do not try to copy behaviors and movements. I only fooled myself into thinking I mask because I like meeting people and I'm able to be friendly on first impression. I think I appear very neurotypical, but clearly my perception is off because if I really acted as neurotypical as I thought I did, I wouldn't have been the weird loner classmate/coworker all my life.
I also thought that infodumping was not something I did, but my friends told me the other day that yeah, I do in fact infodump. I think it's because in high school, I just... really didn't get the opportunity to infodump much. But I always thought it was because I just wasn't good enough at remembering facts and stuff. It was only until I caught myself talking about veganism and communism and art and DIY for hours that I realized that yes, I do actually infodump, at least when I'm given the space to.
Having autism realizations 3 years after first taking the tests? It's more likely than you think, folks.
i should have taken some chocolate from work. i want to make myself a chocolate tart or something
I have a personal connection to God. I can send any message you want to the big cheese just let me know
Capitalist culture is like an eldritch horror that is all encompassing to the point of suffocation. A sensory blitz of advertisements, television, symbols and music all violently crashing into each other to the point of one's own mental overload.
So shaved my face fully for the first time since I started figuring out my identity, really first time in years.
Kitty bumps are so fuckin soft. I think I'd look a bit better after I've lost some weight though :p
major (hopefully minor) setback with my partner's job (which they don't have anymore).
the termination doesn't impact their actual driving record. it was from an AI driven algorithm linked to a camera that interpreted something as something else.
but zero tolerance instant termination bye bye six figure job.
so yeah i had a meltdown. tossed some furniture around. i wanted to cry, started to, and just lost it. i fucking hate testosterone
they should be able to find something that pays just as well within a few weeks hopefully. so im once again putting off transitioning or even getting the t blocking hair meds
sole earner once again and can't risk that status. fuck
gah. my lowered E levels also lowered my girl horny. get back here, i was just starting to know you
would you rather sneeze once a minute for 3 hours or cough every 10 seconds for 10 minutes? yes this is about being trans.
Celeste is in a bundle on Humble rn for $6 (the four item pack) and that alone is worth it if you like tight 2d platformers and discovering speedrun mechanics. The main character is trans-fem. And some money goes to charity.
Webbed looks pretty fun and highly rated as well and you play as a spider. 2d platformer with grapple mechanic.
The Matrix chat is already going so strong that Element is unable to display all new messages after a few hours lol
dysphoria, money problem vent
Had a great day last Friday and Saturday morning was awesome too. Then I went to the beach in a conservative neighborhood and have felt like the bearded trans woman ever since.
Monday I took out a $5k loan to get the face and pits lasered. Was already $5k in on my credit card. Another $50k in student loans for a degree that probably won't help me find gainful employment with my physical health anyway. And have no idea how to restart my disability application in a way that will get it approved. I already tried getting on disability once, it was denied. I appealed, it was denied again but I never received the notice. My intention was to appeal the second one but by the time I found out, it was too late. I really need a lawyers help but finding one that does SSI (rather than SSDI) has been difficult.
Spent some time on job boards this morning. Pretty much everything is corporate now and with my shit resume from three decades of health problems, coupled with my current health, it didn't leave me feeling any optimism.
Plus, I have other health stuff that needs to be addressed. My teeth. Glasses. I don't know where I'm going to find the time, energy, or resources to take care of those.
Feeling overwhelmed and like giving up.
owwww my ear really hurts. why did nobody warn me that getting stabbed in the ear and having metal jammed in the wound would hurt
Someone I follow shared this self defense resource specifically aimed at trans femmes
I figure some of yβall would find it useful/interesting
