RT @RuthHHopkins@twitter.com: On October 25, 1785, Toypurina, a Tongva medicine woman, led 6 villages in a revolt against Spanish missionaries at Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, who she said were “trespassing upon the land of my forefathers and despoiling our tribal domains.” She led them unafraid, & unarmed.
RT @CaseyExplosion@twitter.com: If you're wondering why the right cries "false flag" so often, it's because they're constantly pulling these sorts of stunts, and presume that if they do it, so do their opponents.

Outstanding post by someone who began HRT in 1988, when they were about to turn 50, noting what effects they've noticed, and the regimen changes over the years:
Financially Struggling, Asking for Help
God the hits just keep coming. Turns out, my financial aid appeal only counted for *next* term, not the term that just ended.
So now my name change is finalized, I'm not going to get back paid for last term, and I've also got to come up with $1,087.20 in order to be able to register for next term, which starts on Monday, so it'd be hell to register now even if I had the money.
On top of that, I dunno where rent is coming from this month, and we're trying to get rid of a bad roommate, which is always expensive.
If anybody can help, I'd appreciate it.

HRT, wait lists
I finally have appointments for gender affirming hormone therapy... for November and February ;-;
If anyone ever says anything to me again about waiting lists in the UK or Canada, I'm going to slap them. These appointments are happening in the US with private insurance and a private provider.
I seriously cannot begin to express how great it's been to be able to pop into the bathroom and do a quick touch-up when I notice a spot I missed instead of obsessing over it all day.
CW: Dysphoria, body hair, Amazon link
One of the best things I have spent money on (besides cuter clothes) to help with my dysphoria has been my little electric shaver that I keep in my purse for touch-ups during the day when I start to feel scratchy or I see that I've missed a spot on my arms, legs, neck, or face.
