Need advice for getting new clothes [1/2] 

I'm becoming very uncomfortable with my clothes. I hate to wear most of my old clothes, which are predominantly masc. I really want more femme ones, preferably androgynous.

(Yes, my parents used to choose and buy my clothes, but I really need to find a new style, also because of gender... My clothes lasted many years, but it's time to get new ones that I want to choose myself.)

So I need to divide the problem into two problems.

1. Finding a new style (see next toot)
2. Getting new (or, perhaps even better, second-hand) clothes

Advice is appreciated for each of these steps :)

Being #actuallyAutistic doesn't make either of these steps easy. Regarding step 2:

- Visiting stores causes very high anxiety before entering. If I manage to enter, I get severely overstimulated by the many ads, people, and garments. I twice tried to visit the local free-shop, but I just was too anxious 😐
- Trying new clothes is very stressful
- Some sensory issues (see next toot)
- Online shopping is also stressful and complicated since I don't have (and really don't want to have) a credit card; I only pay via IBAN
- Getting used to new clothes or even an entirely new style is also difficult; I usually only make small changes

Am I the only person who thinks there's a quiet irony in the name of the sub company? Or am I the only person tacky enough to mention it?

OceanGate? Really?

My 3-year old announced to me that his name is today is "Zod." I kid you not. Now I must resist the he compulsion to kneel before him.

β€œFull de-occupation of the #Zaporizhzhia NPP is a must.

Anyone who turns a blind eye to russia’s occupation of such a facility, to russia’s mining of the territory and facilities of the nuclear power plant, is actually contributing not only to this russian evil, but also to terror in general,”

I love it when people get serious and philosophical in replies to my jokes. Fucking πŸ‘ LOVE πŸ‘ IT! *fart*

I grew up and had my sexual awakening in the 80s while watching, like, Magnum PI and Soloflex ads, and certain men's hairstyles that look incredibly dated and cheesy and are used as signifiers for a previous time in current-day period pieces are nevertheless basically hard-wired to my dick.

Look who it is everybody!

Cornell West enlisted Jill Stein to help with his presidential bid

The same Jill Stein:
Backed by Russian money
Who had an army of Russians post on her behalf in the 2016 election, aiding Trump’s win
Who raised more for her recount then for her campaign

…And the same Jill Stein seated with Vladimir Putin, Michael Flynn, Dmitry Peskov, and special guest stars (below)!

Russia thanks you for your patronage, Comrade West!

Whenever I am feeling down, I just remember that trillions of years in the future, long after Earth is destroyed, the universe will drift apart until galaxy and star formation ceases, and then everything will be fine.

This whole submarine thing is a preview of exactly how "space tourism" is going to go

@tomw setting the over/under at 8.5y before Muskie turns himself into space dust

I used to work in a fancy tech office in downtown San Francisco, but my company switched to remote work at the beginning of the pandemic and what was only supposed to be about two weeks turned into two months and then over two years.

A little over two years in, we were told that we needed to go to the office to take home anything we’d left at our desks that we wanted to keep.

I wanted to get it over with so I selected the first time slot on the sign-up sheet and showed up at that time, but the man at the front desk said I wasn’t on the list and I couldn’t go in.

I had made a special trip to the office for the only time that worked and I just wanted to be done with everything and the man was being very rude and unhelpful.

I showed him my ID and badge for both the building and my office, but he said they weren’t proof that I worked there. I then showed him the email from my office manager confirming my time slot AND forwarded the email to him FROM my company email address to show that I still work there.

Another security guard could see how rude the other man was being and offered to walk me up to my office so I could show him that my desk was mine and grab my stuff, but the man at the desk held firm on his power trip and said there was no way of knowing if I actually worked for the company and cited that he had never seen me or anyone else from my company before (because we’d all been working remote for the past two years).

As a last resort, I asked him to contact our office manager to confirm that I was allowed in the office. Meanwhile, I sat off to the side and broke down crying out of frustration.

After a lot of back-and-forth, it was found that I was on the list and he was probably just misspelling my last name, so I was FINALLY allowed to go up to my office.

Even so, he seemed completely unwilling to acknowledge his mistake and actually treated me as if he was doing me a favor.

When I got to my desk, I grabbed some random desk items and a company award I had won along with my company-branded jacket that was hanging on the back of my chair and I proceeded to leave for the last time.

When I got to the lobby, I turned to the man at the front desk to β€œthank” him for being so β€œhelpful” and asked if he’d pose in a photo with me to commemorate my β€œlast day at the office” and he agreed.

As a result, I now have a lovely photo of the rude man at the front desk with his mask hanging off his face and me standing in the foreground with my mascara running down my face as a result of crying due to his poor treatment.

I also made it a point to wear my jacket and hold my award, both obnoxiously branded with the name of the company he tried to imply I didn’t actually work forβ€”because I can be a petty little brat when pushed hard enough.

A morning sketch and stretch produced this little shoebill stork. Watercolor in an A6 Etchr sketchbook. Pentel Canada watercolor brushes and some Golden QoR paints.

I just wanna go on record that I’m a proud ally to cis folks. I actually have a good friend who’s cis. I mean… I only know him through work. He sits at reception. I wave β€˜hello’ to him every day when I walk in. He seems nice. My really good cis friend.
