This really resonated with me, and so I want to share it with all of you.
"I hope you have the courage to choose yourself over and over. I hope you have the courage to move forward, not backard. To choose growth over comfort. To choose possibility over the past...progression isn't always easy."

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

As a kid, I always wanted a Main Force Patrol style outfit like Mad Max had.
Well, now I've got a woman's variant. 😅 It's a work in progress, maybe for a future cosplay.

Note to self; if you're ever going to sing karaoke at a bar:
Make sure it's a song you've practiced before to karaoke versions.
Pick a song in your tempo.
Don't count on people who said they would sing with you to actually do so.
Never wait until you're sober enough to realize how awful you are.

Boomers still have their nostalgic 50s Diners with checkered floors, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe posters, speed limit signs, and ads for SPAM.
But when will Millennials get our 90s Diners with teal & pink floors, Brittney Spears and Ricky Martin posters, early internet memes, and ads for Corn Pops?

Today marks the beginning of this year's Transgender Awarness Week (Nov 13-19). 🏳️⚧️
Until last year I didn't identify as trans or feel part of the trans (or broader LGBTQ) community. But many amazing trans men & women inspired and supported me when I finally accepted what I am.

Well today turned out to be a pretty good day despite my crappy morning commute breakdown.
Coworker talked me into buying a cape for $15... Well, it was on sale for like $75% off and the last one, so it didn't take much convincing. 😅 It's so darn cute and cozy.

When you manage to dress up nice, get the kids to school early, arrive to the train station ahead of schedule, but there's no parking left so you miss your train, drive 2 cities over to another train station, find parking, realize you left your job badge at home.

"HRT can't change your bone structure".
Okay then, but it's certainly doing SOMETHING crazy, like why can I now comfortably fit in smaller shoes? And WHAT is going on with my core? Where did this hourglass figure come from (no, my trunk ain't that big yet I swear, it's just these hips)? 😅

![[LEFT]: Halloween 2024 bathroom mirror selfie. 2 months before starting HRT and no laser hair removal. Barely fitting in my Yumeko Jabami costume, looks awkward.
[RIGHT]: Halloween 2025 bathroom mirror selfie. 10 months on HRT + 11 laser hair removal sessions. Fitting well in my Yor Forger costume, superb makeup, looking gorgeous.
The comparison shows the before and after effects of HRT, laser hair removal, and learning some basic makeup skills.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:w64obn2j6jkhex35spogm44w/bafkreibrbjb62xzgkt37ihplautaywmjbu2fzpix7eknxcn7omdx44facu@jpeg)

Halo - the flagship exclusive of the Xbox since 2001 - will soon be releasing on PS5?
Man, Xbox as a console brand is so cooked at this point.
Watching Phil Spencer self-immolate what has been my favourite and exclusive console series since Sega's self-destruction is a sad thing to watch.

Dunno what is going on with my head, but methinks the doc tampering with my HRT regiment is having unforseen consequences...

Experimenting with accents and their impact on voice #feminization because, why the hell not? 😄
Prepare for some cringe, folks.
FYI, no formal voice feminization training yet. This is just the range I generally carry myself with in conversation vs. an accented (British/Australian? 🤷♀️) version.

Got in 2 helldives before work this morning with a rookie. Seychel Beach will be liberated, 1 block at a time.
Got froze out 2 minutes before drop ship landed 2nd game. Managed to rejoin, get my samples and evac just in time.
Made a new helldiver friend.
I freakin love this game.

Gradually converting my historian's bookcase into a nerd shelf. 😁 Just those 2 shelves worth of books stacked into 1 bin was... monstrously heavy.
And I'm running outta room. I haven't even put out most of my Rogue One, ESB, or ROTJ figures yet...😅

Just had my HRT follow-up.
♀️ E levels still well within target range.
♂️ T fully suppressed.
☑️ Going to try mono-therapy (no spiro) for a month and check back.
✅️ Consultation planned for bottom surgery.
Covid is still kicking my ass, but I'm feeling a little better mentally.
Stay safe. ✌️
