  @lothcat My cat got that exact same toy this month with his prescription from Mixlab. That toy has migrated all around my condo, it has become a game of where will I spot it today?

  The Boston area is in the middle of a big heat wave. It was 89 on Monday, 91 on Tuesday, 96 on Wednesday, broke 100 yesterday and supposed to do the same again today (Saturday is supposed to be mid-90s again and Sunday upper-80s). I now overheat easily, which means I can't wear some things that I normally do daily, in this case my breast forms that help with my gender dysphoria. It just feels wrong to not have them on, but I am not comfortable physically wearing them in this heat. St...

  I haven't done a check-in post in a while. I am trying to do early retirement, but need to find things to do outside of the condo. For now, money is holding out, I will know better if I can maintain this around the end of the year when one of my investments rolls over and that money can start being paid out to me. Cat is doing well, he still has anxiety issues so remains a solo pet. After the July 4th week heat wave (which killed my main PC and it had to be replaced), the weather here...

  This weekend I was at a furry con. I didn't bring my enfemme hip padding with me, just my small breast forms that I wore all the time. And I was surprised that I never had any problems, even when outside of con space which usually has me self-conscience about wearing them. I've lost a lot of weight so the big belly is gone, it is not a flat belly but not like it used to be. So maybe now I can finally get the right body shape, which will help a lot to my not hating my appear...

  I tend to only come here to post emotionally down items. So time to post an up. Yesterday I was at a meet-up, not trying to look femme but being somewhat endogenous. This is how I typically am presenting these days, wearing neutral clothing because I find it more comfortable. I have lost a lot of weight over the last year and my belly is now gone, so I am able to wear tighter jeans. I kept getting ma'am-ed by the staff all night. It made my night. It's taken way too long...

  @desea As a teen and early/mid 20's, I had noticeable breasts, much to the hatred of my father, who could not stand that I had a mix of male and female physical characteristics. I was a bit overweight during these years, which enhanced my breast size. While In the Navy, they tried to make me lose weight, this caused my breasts to shrink and I had an emotional episode over it. I could not work out for years after that incident, and gained too much weight. 20 years later, I am in much...

  @JoscelynTransient This sounds like every convention that I pack for to attend. I always bring too much so I have options, then use maybe a third of what I bring.

  Dumb Mastodon question: I thought Mastodon had a "translate post" feature where if the post was not in the language you set for your account, you could click the translate button and get a version of the post in your language. I could have sworn that I have seen this in the past, but I can't find it now. Was I imagining this feature?

  I wanted to use this account to talk about my gender stuff, so I should do that. Since being "laid off" (contract ended) last December, I have moved from wearing my forms when no one was around to "screw it, I am wearing them all the time". Well, not around family, since I only see them at big events; one brother lives 4 hours away and other and I are not in the same social circles. It now feels wrong when I don't have some forms on. It helps that...

  I am going to hate tomorrow. I have a physical appointment with my doctor, so I can't wear my forms. This is at the request of my doctor, the forms and bra caused problems with some stuff she was checking. It is annoying and I hate being without my forms, I usually only skip wearing them when I have to attend family events in the summer (in the winter, thicker clothing help minimize the look but I know that they are there). I thought that I was doing better, but the last couple of mo...

  I went out for Veteran's Day dinner tonight in gender neutral mode (my typical mode). I got ma'amed by a few people thanking me for my service. Nice feeling when I wasn't even trying to look overtly femme.
