@godwouldhateme@mastodon.social are you looking at high calories or low calories? and are you gonna be taking stuff with you (so refridgeration can't be done) or no?
my main top tip as An Diabetic is always pair a protein with a carb. cheese, peanut butter, beef jerky, whatever. all carb is a lot more likely to spike your blood sugar up and then slam it down, and that rebound will probably mean you'll feel like shit as you hit a low, and/or will fall asleep in class lol
i'm fairly certain all the cold medicine i am taking will not help AND I HAVEN'T EVEN PUT THE PSEUDOPHEDRINE IN MY MOUTH YET AHAHAHAHAaa.....
....
but also the powders u buff into gel nail polish are just so fuckin cool you guys. and also i ordered a bb cream i'm super excited to try and also a wet n wild dupe for an anastasia beverly hills eyeshadow palette that people say is really good and i'm so excited because i can't drop like 42 bux on eyeshadow but i can swing 6 bux!!!!
...also, honestly, if i'm overstepping please tell me.
i sometimes just get super excited to talk girly shit that my cishet ass may blunder straight into spaces that trans femmes had cordoned off.
i just think this stuff is neat lol, and am excited to share what i've learned, because honestly i was in a weird internalized self-hate bubble until like mid college, so i am slowly catching up on shit that most cis girls got down around, idk, middle school? and that's slightly same hat, idk.
HRT Question, Genitalia, Explicit
@PurrPurin so it's one of these things that probably sounds intimidating as all hell, but it can also be an opportunity to explore and have fun in different ways! and since it's a gradual change, your girlfriend can have fun learning and experiencing all of this with you.
so don't be terrified of it! it's not closing a door as much as it is opening up a world of new opportunities!
....hopefully that encouragement came across okay through my nyquil haze lol
HRT Question, Genitalia, Explicit
@PurrPurin my cis ass is unlearned on such things, but from what i've read the answer is very much yes. you might find some changes in what it looks and feels like though. i've heard that for some, erections can become decoupled from orgasms a lot more, and i've seen people talk about how things feel softer sometimes (but still perfectly able to hold an erection - it just may take a little bit more 'investment').
now if only i could get a base coat to keep polish on my fucking fingernails for more than like 2 days
tho nail oil? helps SO MUCH. my fingernails are so much stronger and healthier. you'd think it would only work for new nail growth but nope apparently my nails were in that level of dire state. @andi , you might be interested in getting in on that shit too! i highly recommend simplynailogical's method of filling ur own oil pens lol, it's WHOLE lot cheaper
Femme tip
@andi THE MAGIC OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SCUFF YOUR NAILS AGAINST SOMETHING AND RUIN THEM IS SO FUCKING REAL!!!!!!!
additionally: gel polishes are fucken dope because the powders are like. same satisfying as scratch-to-reveal things. you buff them in and you're like WOOAAAHHHHHH because the powder looks so boring but actually on the nail IT'S SO COOL
Femme tip
@andi GEL NAIL STUFF IS FUCKIN AWESOME!!!! for me the most irritating bit of doing my nails is that 45 minutes of being ~*in the danger zone*~ but gel nails are FANTASTIC. especially since you don't need to be a pro to order from bornpretty, too. my little light i got (a Fuze brand one) actually runs off usb and does only one finger at a time, but is pretty fantastic. plus with gel nails you can easily do all the cool chroming powders n shit!!!
@lawremipsum@mspsocial.net @noiob @it_wasnt_arson ooohhh i see, that makes sense!
i guess this is why i also sometimes see that the then-videos look as if they've been chewed on by the same monster makes jpgs cronchy
thanks y'all, i appreciate folks informing my sorely clueless ass l m a o
hey people of the fediverse who are clever at tech and like run linux and firefox and do rails of ruby and shit
why is everything videos these days?
like instead of gifs. why do imgur and facebook and places like that some of the time convert a gif into a video? doesn't that mean it takes up more space? why take the time to do the conversion anyway?
are gifs a security concern somehow now? why do only some gifs get converted to mp4??? is this just a mystery or what
a real stateent i just wrote in a support ticket to g-portal
"of course it may be entirely possible that i've accidentally got a setting switched wrong. if that's the case, please accept my sincere apologies in advance. i have an awful cold and i've just been sort of rolling my face on the keyboard after taking enough nyquil to get a horse pretty krunk while making sad bleating noises"
@kara@witchcraft.cafe i have zero idea about what kind of gems you'd find in the rockies-ish, but i know around here it's a lot of garnets, rubies, and sapphires, as well as some cool semi-precious stones - like i have a cool piece of flourite with really nice banding
also honestly it means that if anyone ever asks you about it somewhat disapprovingly, you get to gush to them about the wonderful personal time you had together and then if they still object THEY LOOK LIKE A MASSIVE ASSHOLE OHOHOHO
@kara@witchcraft.cafe i have absolutely no idea about west coast, as a georgian, but i know appalachia is lousy with such places LOL. i can give you a solid recommendation if you want to go to the north georgia mountains, though... LMAO
i may be colored from the fact that i went on a vacation there as Official Third Wheel with my best friend and her fiance, and i'm still starry-eyed about the idea of them using the buy-a-bucket-get-a-credit-to-us-making-it-into-jewelry to use for some of their gems 😍
this cold continues to be hell and today i must figure out how to breathe thru my nose even if it means sleeping fitfully after i'm forced to take some pseudophedrine
the sleep apnea dental device i use is great, but holy shit, your mouth gets fucking dry as fuck if you're trying to mouthbreathe because your nose is stuffed up
ended up taking it out last night and had nightmares about struggling to breathe. so like. thanks, cold, you shitter
