Pollinators! Did you know that in addition to flying insects like butterflies and bees, some vertebrates act as pollinators, like some species of bats and lizards? If you want, you can be a pollinator. Just transfer pollen between two compatible plants, and you've done it!

Trans athlete ban just hit USA Fencing. Leadership didn't want it, membership didn't want it, but the executive order threatened their NGB status.

Shit sucks. The chairman gave a good shot at defending us at the doge show trial, but idk what could be done here. If they didn't comply, we might end up with a governing body that actually hates trans people, rather than one that tried but failed to include us.

Thus conceding the integrity of the sport by complying with baseless political bans :^)

If they didn't comply, we might end up with a governing body that actually hates trans people, rather than one that tried but failed to include us.

How does that work? The government can just ban sports orgs altogether?

Edit:

USA Fencing supports fencing for all. In July 2025, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), through its updated Athlete Safety Policy, directed every National Governing Body to align athlete‑eligibility policies with a federal executive order.

I see! So yes, it's all about access to the Olympics. Much more important than "integrity of sport" or "inclusivity". This is why I support the total annihilation of professional sport.

mother I never reconciled with going into hospiceMom is in pretty late stage of cancer, gonna be seeing her later today.

I cut her out of my life years before her stroke and I'm worried she's not going to recognize me at all - we never really met up or talked after my transition. Still going, though. I figure there's no reason to hold a grudge here at the end when there isn't much time left. I'm going to need to deadname my way through this because there's no way she'll remember I changed my name.

This is gonna be tough. I don't owe her shit, but I think I owe this to myself. I'd definitely regret not trying.

updateSo, the visit was okay. She didn't believe I was who I said I was at first, but we got past that. We watched Tom and Jerry and I told her about my work. The visit was short because I had to go to work after

I'm going to see her again Sunday with my sister, probably for a longer time. I hope having someone else there will make it easier to keep conversation going.

dysphoriaWhy do I simultaneously worry about never being able to fit perfectly into a binary gender ideal, while at the same time idolizing gender-blurring in others? I find androgyny in people so incredibly appealing and attractive. When I think about my voice, frame, etc. never being fem enough, however, it bothers me a little. Self-love and self-acceptance is hard.

Bonus pollinator fact: while Earth has had land plants for almost 500 million years, pollinators have only existed in the past 160 million years. For most of the time that there have been plants on the land, there weren't any flowers to be pollinated, because they hadn't evolved yet!

transphobiagot to hear the boomer cashier at the store call a customer a "transvestite manwoman" today because she thought they were a banned customer who I guess happens to be trans in some fashion

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Going in to work, my hair a completely tangled mess from swimming the other day and being too depressed this weekend to do literally anything to take care of myself. Also we're short staffed, we've been on this same schedule for like months how do they not have this worked out. But then later we have too many staff and there's a chance management gets pissy about it. Maybe look at the schedule and assign an appropriate amount of hours?? Also my hair being a mess fuckin sucks I hate it. I hate dealing with long hair. Pretty sure I'd crash out if I cut it short atp though.

Going on a multi day trip with friends for the first time tbh and very excited. Just haven't known people like that since becoming an adult. I have the next few days until we leave off too and fuck I haven't felt this excited in a while. I can't think of much else to say about it without ruminating on the past and I'm not rly in a ruminating on the past kinda mood.

some negativityI'm out to them and they still he/him me :/ I know what everyone's suggestion is, to correct them and ask for she/her and my real name... I still dunno though. I don't want to make things weird or uncomfortable.

I think I'm part demigirl part agender if that makes sense

[–] yewler@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Like I really vibe with agender conceptually and kind of a lot of the time see myself as nongendered. But at the same time I realllly do love being gendered a woman. Maybe some sort of gender fluid bouncing between not having a gender and being a woman. Idk

I feel if I ever got into online dating I'd do alright, I can hold a conversation pretty good. When the initial dopamine rush hits I've talked to people for days at a time and not been weird or anything. I do feel I fizzle out though and just slowly stop talking though and I do worry about that if I ever get into a relationship

learning rust has been such a wild ride, at first it was "oh cool cargo is neat" and "oh I can make games with this" and then it became "wtf is a borrow checker or an elided lifetime" and now I've discovered profiling and benchmarking and wondering why the flamegraph doesn't go deep enough to see why my functions that are being called 100 times in a single frame are taking 5ms each.

Its been years since I've worked with truly hot code, so I'm out of practice, and I've never done it with rust before, so it's a lot of learning and scratching my head about the different tools. Like, it looks like tracy will only measure spans you declare yourself, cargo flamegraph will only go so deep for some reason, maybe there's other ones that can tell me why this stuff is taking so long. And every time I use a different tool I need to recompile all 488 dependencies lol yay

There's a Rust performance book which has been helpful, but it's not intuitive for me to look at a complex function and say "oh yes this will be slow because of X"

spoilerI feel so lonely. I've ruined my only friendship and it feels impossible to make new ones that i won't also end up ruining. I thought that starting hrt would make my life better but nothing had changed, im still depressed and I'm even lonlier than i was before.

Meet someone in my dreams she was real nice but I couldn't see her anymore for reasons that were hard to describe. She gave me a nail polish that in the sun light was light blue but in the moonlight turned light pink. I miss her dearly catgirl-cry and I'm starting to think I know what this might mean. that was one hell of an adventure we went on
