Oo-mox is back on the menu!

I should have put that in quotes to avoid confusion. I'll edit :)

I've known (or dated) a few conservative men who refused to get vasectomies because they "lower testosterone". And, of course that means they're less of a man (to themselves and others who think that way).

The parents won't be the ones parenting, they'll be working. The grandparents and great grandparents will be parenting

I have most of the fixings to make this. I think I'd rather chop everything up and eat it with a fork though lol

The planet pulls the receptacle down

I wonder how much is due to the amount of plastic we've been in contact with. I cringe to think about all the plastic wrapped, or Tupperware stored foods I've microwaved over my lifetime. Or all the water from plastic bottles I've drank.

Ace people are queer too :)

And really, some of us have 0 interest in sex please stop asking us. Believe it or not, romance isn't sexual in and of itself, so it's not impossible for us to crave romance and have no desire for sex.

And, many of us are this way without ever having experienced trauma. It's necessary to ask someone about trauma in a relationship, but don't assume it's the reason for the lack of sexual interest. (In many cases it is a or the reason, but that doesn't take away from the fact that a person doesn't want to engage in sex)

I posted a picture of myself on reddit asking for hair advice. My head was turned somewhat to the side so my nose was in profile. Someone felt the need to tell me I had the ugliest nose they had ever seen. I never really noticed the shape before that, but now in my mind's eye it's huge, crooked and has a hook.

A decade later I was getting a septoplasty to repair damage from an assault, and I asked the surgeon if he could remove the hook in my nose. He looked at me with the most compassion anyone ever has, and asked me to point out the hook in the mirror. It was the first time in all those years I finally saw my real nose. It's actually pretty cute, I don't know what that commentor was smoking

I would definitely never choose to be born a woman again. I've had some really terrible things happen to me because of my birth gender, and while I know some of them can and do happen to men, they wouldn't be in the same context.

My life has been quite a lot better since I stopped presenting as a woman. Testosterone made me really sick, so I'll never be able to present as a man, but the middle ground is good enough for me

Rushing to the boombox when you hear your new favorite song, to record it to cassette

I finally caught covid on Sunday while in the hospital :/ I'm vaccinated and boosted, so far I just have a fever, body aches, and post nasal drip. I'm hoping this is the worst of it.
