There’s a lot of trans people in linux and foss communities

in a community full of trans folk

which by the phrasing is what Ada is saying, not that it’s specifically a trans community

I stole it from somewhere else at some point. Here’s the oldest result I could find with a reverse image search: https://old.reddit.com/r/COMPLETEANARCHY/comments/9hamcw/antifa_propaganda_poster_1944/

Just took three vaccines just now! One was a package deal so I got a whole heap of vaccines

I always do this. It’s a lot of fun to see the players scheming over a regular wall or door or whatever

legitimately the scariest thing I’ve ever seen

The “also I’m/she’s a woman now” genre of stories is my favorite

This is true, but it’s also important to be aware that if all americans ever do is vote then things will never improve. It’s important to vote still, but it can’t end there

Relevant meme :3

as someone who doesn’t like coffee I can tell you what she’s drinking is also coffee

Non binary actually!

Edit: It looks like I’m wrong! See down below. The dev is enby while the mascot appears to be a girl

We need a combo version of the far right dangling over the centrists and the tankies shooting off towards the right

Oral should be the last thing considered on that list right after sublingual.

A better way to determine what HRT to take is this linear list:

• Implants/Pellets. Hard to get. Requires very minor surgery, but they last up to a year or something.
• Injections. Hard to get prescribed in some parts of the world. Easy and cheap to get DIY.
• Patches. Expensive. Some find these don’t work well on their skin, or that they don’t stick well because they exercise a lot. Apothecaries can run out of these easily and you might suddenly be out for a while. You can tape these down with body safe tape or try a different location to see if it sticks better.
• Gel. Some find these don’t work super well on their skin. Relatively cheap when you do DIY.
• Spray. Some find these don’t work super well on their skin. Also relatively cheap on DIY.
• Pills, sublingual. Slightly higher rate of side effects (very small). Article on oral vs sublingual.
• Pills, oral. Higher rate of side effects (small). Another article on oral vs sublingual.

Injections can be scary but they are very convenient. With valerate you take injections every five days, with enanthate you take injections every 7 days. Undecylate can be taken once a month.

Most routes require that you take blockers which can come with their own side effects and risks. Injections and implants do not need this, and some can even do HRT without blockers on patches, gel, or spray, but this depends on the individual. I therefore recommend injections as the safer and most comfortable option.

If you do patches I recommend building a stockpile of reserve HRT in case patches are hard to get for a while. This has happened many times and will happen again. You should ideally have a little stockpile for every route, but it’s extra smart on patches.

Gel/spray is a great option too, but you do need to apply it once or even multiple times per day. It can be a bit of a hassle.

Most pills can be taken sublingually but not all. If they can be taken sublingually then there’s really no reason not to. You might need to take less pills this way too meaning pills become cheaper in practice, or that you can build a stockpile easily if they are prescribed.

All routes are equally effective in terms of results.

Also visible scarring from needles is not much of a thing.

People report this all the time regardless of what switch they make. It’s indeed very anecdotal

ADHD and other neurodivergencies are neither binary nor a simple scale + we have different personalities and circumstances, so there are people that qualify as having ADHD yet manage it very well or have lives that mesh really well with their brand of ADHD by pure chance.

Some of these people think since it’s easy for them to manage it must be easy for everyone, and some sympathize and understand they have it (compared to us) easy.

It’s frustrating to have a genuine disability and not be believed because it’s not visible and obvious, and doubly so when it’s someone you think should get it.

I’ve met one person I didn’t believe had ADHD yet he thought for sure he did. He kept asking me and my other ADHD friend why we didn’t simply do this or that whenever we mentioned we struggled with something. He did later turn out to have another neurodivergency which made much more sense to me, but it’s also important to note that not all symptoms are gonna be in the part of someones life that you are witness to.

why censor a swear!!!1!!1!!1!

Yeah… :/ Name a more iconic combo than centrism and nazi apologia

I’m sorry but there are plenty of tankies on lemmy. I don’t frequent .world much, and I assume there aren’t a lot there, but more leftist parts of lemmy unfortunately have a very real problem with tankies.
