[pitbolshevik]

the number of people who will tell you that HRT (T or E, i have seen people say it for both) will make you straight is fucking insane btw

[trans-girl-nausicaa]

its really annoying how people will treat like an self-reported anecdote with a sample size of 1 as if its like a fucking peer reviewed paper.

kind of reminds me of how i once heard a segment on This American Life on NPR in the early 2000s about a transgender man who made a big deal out of the (allegedly) crazy high dose of T he was on and also he claimed that T made him better at math.

[pitbolshevik]

i wish i could say i was surprised by the math thing but i knew a guy once who said that T made him completely unable to be friends with women lol

[trans-girl-nausicaa]

unable to be friends with women??

what, like in the heteroguy sense of “i cant be friends with women because i only see women as potential partners?” or was it something else entirely

[pitbolshevik]

he said he was no longer able to understand how women's minds worked, so something else entirely. he was very proud of this too.

[trans-girl-nausicaa]

“no longer able to understand how women’s minds worked.” What a dim, gender-essentialist idea of the world.

[mangled-by-disuse]

in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming

that's solidarity baybeeee

[lgbtlaughs]

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

[cathkaesque]

My understanding is that the cut funding from Durham council was £2,500 - the trade union donations raised in response were worth £25,000

[anglaised]

everytime u go outside ur spending $60 automatically its crazy $60 is the new $20

[pursebeer]

Stop buying food and coffee and make it at home. I'm begging everyone.

[anglaised]

ok well i filled up my car with gas and got cat food for my cats so idk how this applies to me also the “don’t buy coffee anymore” thing is rlly annoying from ppl acting like buying coffee is the reason ppl r struggling to keep purchases under 20 dollars instead of capitalism inflating prices for shareholders to buy another five houses like. eventually yall gotta stop doing the “no more avacado toast!” thing to ppl bc there is no budgeting that is enough to outrun inflation

[dappermouth]

And then you had that dream again.

It’s just a joke dude. It doesn’t mean anything. Information has no coherent structure . Ideas don’t touch reality

Tell this girl not to fumble please

[stuckinapril]

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

If I was a mage in the dungeon meshi universe, I'd figure out how to enchant living paintings and then commission some artists to paint me a bunch of pictures of magnificent feasts. Then I'd rent out a gallery space and charge entry to my Magical Food Hall, where you can eat as much of anything you want and not experience any of the consequences. Think of the possibilities. I'm not just talking about calories and weight loss here. I'd have a painting of a bakery where gluten-free people can gorge themselves on bread and cakes and then leap out of the painting before the vomiting sets in. I'd have an ice cream parlor for the lactose intolerant. One painting is just called "The Allergen Feast" and is a table laden with things like nuts, soy products, shellfish, etc. I'd have a painting of a county fair with the most insane types of fried food imaginable. I'm planning an expansion, but first I gotta consult some religious experts to see if eating imaginary painted food that isn't kosher/halal is technically against the rules or not.

[eubalaena]

Fascinating idea and I would add: using this to narrow down food intolerances would be so much easier. Current method is you do a strict elimination diet for a few weeks time and gradually reintroduce small amounts of possible intolerances, requiring quite a commitment and one that's really tough (I haven't managed it yet because of my other food issues). Imagine instead of committing to possibly months of limited diet with slow introductions, you could do a week of limited diet, and then hop into a painting, try some milk, wait an hour, and if it starts to bother you you just hop right out. Reaction over, data collected, jump into the next painting to drink some soy milk and see if that triggers you. You could speed run six months worth of slow introductions in a day.

[therosielord]

Oh this is SO smart.
