(Also… es ist noch immer Vice-Niveau und dementsprechend kommen zB transfeindliche Formulierungen vor. Aber verhältnismäßig ziemlich gut halt.)
Gerade erst gesehen, dass es vor einem Monat einen großteils ziemlich guten Artikel über #Girlfags und #Guydykes gegeben hat: https://broadly.vice.com/de/article/nevvww/die-verwirrende-welt-von-girlfags-und-guydykes
Nice!

Friends! What's your favourite way to collect images/pictorial posts/general ~aesthetic~? (if you do)
Something like a picture-focused alternative to tumblr, I guess.

"We're having a problem sending email out of the department."
"What's the problem?" I asked.
"We can't send mail more than 500 miles," the chairman explained.
I choked on my latte. "Come again?"
"We can't send mail farther than 500 miles from here," he repeated. "A little bit more, actually. Call it 520 miles. But no farther."

Can I just say… the way that Tumblr forces community to center around ask blogs is incredibly destructive.
There is no way to communicate on an equal level. It's basically all a very public game of "can I get this mod to not yell at me if I disagree, and how much do I have to water my opinion down if I want to get reblogged so anyone except the mods and my handful of own followers ever see that I had input on that".
(anyway that was re lastboost, interesting thread)
PMDD-related, suicidality
Huh, think I got this "thinking about suicide for 2 weeks & suddenly feeling fine when menstruation starts" a few years ago, but I don't remember if it was actually a recurrent thing, because I only remember that one time that was just super comical because it was so perfectly timed.
Now it's shifted more to like "I dread menstruation and am what-you'd-expect-depressed the week before, and only want to die 2 or 3 days during menstruation and maybe 1 or 2 days before".

Discussion about Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder; may involve suicidality, illness, depression
Let's talk PMDD! Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder, which gets dismissed a lot as "just PMS" or "moodiness" but is pretty serious. It's a severe, sometimes debilitating crash of your moods connected to your menstrual cycle, usually linked to drops in your estrogen levels. It's not very well researched & a lot of docs dismiss it out of hand.

@thefishcrow and uh everyone else who asked last month :P sorry this took forever, other articles, work, and mental health stuff took over!
Mood: *forgets to move*
Oh, also "Lesbian & Bi Women Fairy Books"

Did you know that a Queer Mermaids list exists on Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/101767.Queer_mermaids_
I really like this fact.
Btw, did you know that The Aromantic and Asexual Speculative Fiction Database exists: http://claudiearseneault.com/?page_id=1320
I really want to read Viral Airwaves by Claudie Arsenault (http://claudiearseneault.com/?page_id=936) next, but I'm not in a reading mood right now. I'm not finishing any books I have started, and I don't really want to start reading a new book either, I just want to… have the result of reading it in my brain?
My favourite thing I ever found there is this pin, "I'm living an 'and' life in an 'either/or' world".

Today, I learned that "Gender Euphoria" was the name of some trans newsletter (printed on paper) in the 80s and 90s. https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f%5Bdta_other_subject_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Gender+Euphoria
I love the Digital Transgender Archive.

Ohhh, Mastalab seems like a rather fancy Mastodon App... Looks and feels nicer than Subway Tooter, supports multiple accounts and is on F-Droid 😺

It's my day off and I'm exhausted so I'm going back to sleep, but I'm glad woke up in time to join this instance. Was @vinnyboy on mastodon.social but wanted to make friends and heard this was the place to do it.
Good morning (I suppose for a lot of people on this instance it's evening) folx.

Question about coping with dysphoria
How does one cope with not being able to get any treatment?
It happend as I foresaw.
As my depression is getting treated dysphoria decided to show up and now I am in a constant state of very diffuse dysphoria.
It becomes more and more difficult to keep my mind from thinking about a body it would feel comfortable in.
I already talked to my doctors but it seems as if they're focusing on the depression only.
I don't want to wait 'cause it's slowly getting worse.
Ooohgott, das "wir wollen eigentlich nur schnell dieses verlassene Schiff ausräumen, oh warum bewegt sich da was, oh warum macht unser eigenes Schiff komische Dinge"-Trope ist SO GRUSELIG m)
Ich glaub ich könnte nichteinmal totale Comedy damit schauen, ohne mich zu gruseln.
