Can We Stop Using "still Lives With Their Parents" Or "unemployed" Or "doesn't Have A Drivers License"

Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally

they’re similar but not the same

Practice doodle that I still really like 🦷

i missed drawing them happy

measuring out 100g of pasta (0.0000010543 football fields for my american audience) feels like I'm precisely and scientifically trying to break a camels back

Experiencing this right now. I’m choosing to medically transition but honestly if they give even the slightest pushback I might stop. I’m so scared of losing them but I know that if I wait longer I’ll be suffering.

Being trans with unsupportive parents is such an interesting experience. When you eventually do move out you have to make the decision, do I medically transition and finally be myself even though my parents will hate me or do I stay closeted just out of fear of losing family?

Hey, so, I don't know how many of you follow Canadian news, but yesterday, someone drove a car into the crowd at a Filipino cultural festival in Vancouver. I'm sorry that I can't put that more sensitively, but I really don't know how else to describe it. I'm not Filipino, but it happened in the neighborhood I grew up in. I'm not sure how to describe how I feel. I'd walked past the event an hour before with some friends. We'd joked about how the first nice weekend in Vancouver is a special occasion because everyone comes out. There's a vigil on that corner tonight.

The point of this isn't to talk about how I feel. A friend has shared some gofundmes with me and I wanted to post them here. And ask that maybe if you're local and you're able to, could you donate blood? I don't know. I don't have anything I can say. It's not my tragedy but I feel it anyway. If you can donate, I know it would be appreciated by the families.

In case you run into someone talking about how 'experimental' HRT is.
