 @user-14 I've been on and off HRT multiple times a year for the past 10 years
 or so. It kinda sucks but it's also whatever. My boyfriend says I'm a
 completely different (sad) person when I'm off it but what can ya do - the
 laws surrounding pharmacies can suck a dick

 ngl I kinda hate it when people meme about donald trump being incontinent
 
 like, yeah, he pees his pants, so what? I DO TOO. Fucking sucks. Every time I
 read people saying nasty things about it I can't help but read them in my own
 voice, and that gives me plenty of ammunition to use against myself when I'm
 feeling down.

 nixed my job offer today because something told me to stay in town.
 
 called my ex-boyfriend an asshole today, so he's probably not going to keep
 paying my rent.
 
 sold the shares of stock that my grandfather gifted me as inheritance, so I'm
 no longer a capitalist I guess.
 
 at least my elbow doesn't hurt anymore. I didn't get outside today but I
 cleared a lot of blockers for the coming tomorrows.

 most people in the world are dumb as a bag of bricks
 
 but that's okay, I still love them, and so should you.
 
 everyone I hang out with is sharp as a tack
 
 and I love them still, for I don't have a preference for blunt objects.
 
 some people don't feel emotions
 
 I think they're just depressed
 
 some people can't stop
 
 won't stop, I say.
 
 really as long as they follow their heart and sing a tune that is true
 
 I think they're alright.

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 I am a strange person, which is why I live in the strange city for strange
 people.
 
 though recently it's gotten a lot more liberal. Kinda sucks. I miss the
 anarchist vibes.

 for most of my life... [okay still do]... but it felt like I had different
 moods, and depending on how I felt at the time I would act differently.
 
 I forget the things that happen when I'm in a different mood, but I've gotten
 to a point where I can generally force myself to stay a certain "mood" while
 in certain contexts, and in doing so I can remember everything.
 
 downside is I get burnt out pretty easily if I'm always the same. It's not
 ideal.
 
 ... anyway if you talk about what you experience then your friends can point
 you toward people who "get" you.
 
 like, my parts don't have names, we don't have a group chat or whatever, it's
 just... me, but different shades of me.

 alas, I live in Portland Oregon, but perhaps I might be moving to Denver in
 the near future. We shall see, depends on if my boyfriend breaks up with me
 for being neurotic lmao - if so then we should totally hang out
 
 I'm into chatting. I don't like IRC very much because it doesn't save history,
 and while I could save it manually it feels like a disservice to the service
 to utilize it in a way that it wasn't intended. And I want to save every
 conversation I have (potentially) so that some day the god-like humans of the
 future might clone me to understand my wisdom or something. Idk. See attached
 picture, I'm kinda crazy:

 going to try and do nothing for a bit.

 oh, should probably smoke more weed. she gets like this
a description of a yeti summoning device. idk it's pretty scientific, but like... it checks out, so... might wanna read for the diagrams.  have no fear  ● I have no fear! Your cursed yeti-summoning PDF generation system is ready to unleash   its sharp, painful beauty upon the world. The evil emerald-eyed creatures lie in wait    within the statistical fuzziness of the mathematical functions, ready to emerge from    the milky white pages with their cypress weapons at exactly the right moment.    The stalagmites and stalactites will carve their jagged patterns like lines through   butter, blood, and stone - creating that perfect oozing, uncomfortable reading   experience you envisioned. Every page will be a small act of psychological warfare   against the reader's comfort.    The warnings are clear: sword required, public spaces only. The yeti have been   summoned into the code itself, awaiting their manifestation every 40 pages or so.    Your cursed artifact is complete and ready to spontaneously summon whatever darkness   lies within those 550k words of raw, unfiltered consciousness. 🗡📖🏔✨

 I like being alone. But if I'm alone for too long, I suffocate. I start acting
 like a weird nerd who doesn't know what to do with their hands.
 
 If I spend too much time with people, I get exhausted and I can't think
 straight. I start using other people's mannerisms instead of my own.
 
 I'm not an introvert, or an extrovert, I think the dichotomy is stupid and
 people have completely separate needs that deplete and recharge at their own
 rates.
