Up ta somethin'


not exclusively trans related but goddamn should you never ever accidentally give your last paper copy of a record to a healthcare provider.

jackasses can pull it all up in my e-file in half a second but I have to spend over a week playing mail tag with a third party records handler and pay a retrieval fee to get a copy of it to find out if it even has the lab results I think it does that would be useful for the outside specialist I'm seeing because the one they refer to is booked out through January. they also just straight up lost the entirety of my psych records I brought. sure hope those made it into a shredder at least.


in short gently caress all of this. the only thing that you can trust to not play games with your records is your own filing cabinet.

sorry, needed to vent.

nail painting requires a deceptively large amount of skill doesn't it?


I totally understand the question mark at the end of the second bit. the only times I've been sure sure about it is in the middle of some dysphoria. i try to hold onto that sure-ness but it can be very hard.

Some skill, but like a lot of things it's mostly practice. I'm hoping I can apply this to touching up the paint on my car as well, especially since I won't have to do that left-handed :v:

yuuuuuup. like a year after coming out, and a month into HRT, and I'm still "well I think this feels right. yeah it does. I think."

I don't know anyone who can go for manicures or pedicures, it's easier to just do it for yourself. I mean it's just basic hygiene like flossing

since i changed to this username pretty much everything i post is a great username post combo and i'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing :v:

but seriously gently caress my hands, they periodically get this gross dermatitis all over and i showed it to my doctor and he prescribed some steroid cream, so i rub the cream on them diligently until the next time i see the doctor and nothing's really changed all that much and he's like "oh yeah sometimes it just doesn't work and you can't do anything about it"

fuckin' hands :argh:

same here. coming on one year since i finally realized i was trans and started coming out to people and about seven months of hrt and it’s been transformational in my life

no way i would go back now

anyway i painted my fingernails for the first time a month or so ago and no one at work said anything except fellow women who complimented my color choice (mermaid blue, then pastel green, then lilac i think?), and im not even out at work yet so that’s good

no nail color at the moment but that’s because i haven’t had the time to redo it yet

might do a bright aqua this go around

I paint mine whenever I miss not too depressed to maintain them, which isn't super often, unfortunately

Otherwise they just get chipped to poo poo and I'll be too apathetic to redo it

i go to places that do em super cheap and they're good at my real weird toenails from some previous surgeries to fix ingrown nails plus the weird issues that sometimes happen with my thumbnails.

both are things ive tried to handle on my own for years but i just can't get the right angles or whatever in so tossing a 20 every few weeks or a month handles it way better

oh I don't mean the paint. my naked finger nails are constantly peeling and chipping for no reason. both my thumbnails just straight up delaminate themselves continuously so I'm always missing a layer of nail at the tips.
