I finally got around to seeing “I Saw The TV Glow”, and it definitely lived up to the hype.

    Day 1 of voice training again to get past my block: I am way better at this than I remembered.

    Trying some of the more modern methods from that site linked last time and I can already hit a voice that I like, just getting it consistent is gonna be the issue like usual. I forgot how fun this gets though. I was mostly just doing a preliminary test of everything that was on the site for an hour with plenty of breaks to listen to the clips and let my voice rest. Overall pretty happy with it for a basically 0 effort practice. Now just to keep at it for at least 30 minutes every day.

  • medical stuff

    got referred to the cardiac ward at the hospital. the ECG nurse commented on my age falling quite significantly outside the normal demographic catgirl-flop. the doctor was pretty nice (apart from wanting to shake my hand in the middle of flu season catgirl-disgust), said from the get go that he didn’t want to take me off any of my medications if they’re working which was a big relief. had a look at my symptoms and said they all fit in the big overlapping Venn diagram of Autism+ADHD+POTS+EDS, referred me to get an echo done just in case there’s anything serious, and prescribed me some shit that’ll straight up just slow my heart down. i really fucking hope it works - i’m sick of doctors and specialists and waiting times and managing appointments and not knowing if i’m dying or just being a hypochondriac… i feel so burnt out but it’s going to get so much worse in the next month or two bocchi-cry

        Ty ty catgirl-heart, honestly looking forward to getting some good polish once I got money, this a dollar store brand one and if I’m being real it shows with how weak it normally is. 4 coats until I was happy. It’s always fighting the urge to scrape them or touch them prematurely that does me in (not shown my right hand the thumb got smudged) still it’s super satisfying so hope you got the time to do yours too

    sex, butt stuff

    Was trying to find a tapered dildo for anal dilation, and almost everything I could find looked either like a tentacle or traffic cone.

    Found a bad dragon knock off though that fits the requirements and I dig.

    I’m reading Trans/Rad/Fem by Talia Bhatt and it’s so good, but also how do you go about your day normally after realising by being a trans woman you’re a revolutionary in a war against the heterosexual occupation of gender that has lasted over five thousand years?

      Reading this book has made me think my transfeminism is equally as important as my Marxism-Leninism in ways that intersect, compliment and diverge at times.

      Like the relationship between Juche and Marxism-Leninism.

        have completely agreed with this for some time, transfeminism and gender accelerationism must be an integral part of any revolutionary neo-Marxism fit to carry us forward into a better world. dialectical philosophy in general has been super helpful for me to build my conception of my self and my gender too.

          Definitely I was sort of working things out by applying dialectical materialism to gender, but the book managed to summarise stuff I was already seeing the shape of.

    Was bored and playing around with a gameboy camera filter and after messing with lighting and posing for awhile I accidentally took my most amazing picture ever. I look like I’m in a manga and I’m like one panel away from murdering someone in cold blood. I feel like my true soul has been captured.

    Reject modernity. Embrace the gameboy camera.
