Edit 2: thank you so much everyone! I ended up with enough and a little over. I should be good this month and now have the time to figure things out for the future. <3

Original message as follows:
Hi everyone, I've been trying to find a housemate for my apartment but I've had no luck. Without someone to share the costs of the apartment with, I'm out of money and won't have enough to make rent and bills in a week even after my ODSP payment comes in. My estimated needs are $250 CAD.

I'm going to list some goods on Kijiji, but I've had little to no luck selling on there lately so I don't know if it'll actually succeed, and I don't want to put this out when it's too little, too late. If something does sell, I'll mark it in the progress, but if you can spare some funds, I'd really appreciate the help, and will do my best to pay it forward once I can.

My paypal is (redacted), thank you very much

Current progress: $250/250

It is the year of the dragon, so I saw it fitting to get new art of my more dragon-like form! 💚​🐲​🌲​

What if my 2.0 model came out to look like this? 👀

do not try to mock the cringe, that's impossible.

instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no cringe.

then you will see it is not the cringe that you mock, it is only yourself.

That was a bit all over the place but definitely a lot of fun. Upgraded @SophicLeech's and my tool, checked out Yuki's house building progress, mined in the nether with the Drill & Chill Mk2 for some ancient debris and placed down some train tracks!

Also here is an unrelated picture of part of my base that's underground.

Just a peaceful western dragon travelling and enjoying days in an eastern land

Sir Belvedere studied the board. "You have me at checkmate," he said.

The dragon inclined her head. "You fought well, Sir Knight."

The knight stood. "I love what you've done. The kaleidescope of colors enhances the cavern visually."

"Thank you. A fairy taught me the spell. Until next time?"

"I battled valiantly with the dragon. The townsfolk are safe for another month." The knight paused. "Next time, shall I bring scones?"

"That," replied the dragon, "would be lovely."

European parliament MEPs have voted to outlaw use of terms such as “environmentally friendly”, “natural”, “biodegradable”, “climate neutral” or “eco” without evidence, while introducing a total ban on using carbon #offsetting schemes to substantiate claims https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/17/eu-bans-misleading-environmental-claims-that-rely-on-offsetting

I don't see this talked about like, ever.

So I'll talk about it.

If you realised you're trans but find yourself sometimes not really hating your assigned gender and being like "meh" to it?

1) That doesn't mean you've been cis all along;
2) It doesn't mean you just imagined your dysphoria;
3) You're not "pretending" anything or lying to anyone, least of all yourself.

It just means you're more tired than dysphoric. Your brain can't keep negative feelings at full steam all the time, which is good. It's not supposed to.

Do not measure your transness by how much you CURRENTLY need to transition. Dysphoria comes and goes. So does euphoria, for that matter.

I went through several cycles of "I am trans. Wait... I don't feel strongly about this anymore. Was that real? No, wait, ARGH, I'm trans. Wait..." and so on, before I started transitioning. Fooled me every single time.

I still experience this. I'm experiencing this today. I am currently wondering why this whole transition thing is such a big deal to me.

But guess what. I know I'm trans, I've been through this before. Doubts that something is true are not the same as knowing it is not.

You will have doubts whether you're trans years after you transition to your general satisfaction. You will. It just happens. You will still be almost certainly happy that you transitioned. That's what being trans means.

If you don't MIND your assigned gender at the moment, but still your actual gender sounds neat, you're still trans.

You're allowed to pause things and recalibrate, or focus on something else. Your transition should go at your pace.

But you haven't suddenly become cis. I promise you that you haven't. You still prefer to function as your real gender, don't you?

I've done this enough times that I need to say it. It's OK. It ebbs and flows. As long as you're not actually *satisfied* with your assigned gender, as long as you have ANY overall need to transition, you're not cis. You may be genderfluid or genderflux or bigender or agender or genderqueer or non-binary. Knock yourself out exploring those (I sure did). There's no penalty for concluding with "nah".

You may also be very Very, Very Tired.

But none of those things mean "cis". I'm begging you, believe me.

EDIT: one good way to figure this out is - OK, so you don't jump for joy at the thought of transitioning. Now imagine yourself in your actual gender. Imagine it's all done and dealt with. Is your imagined self repulsive, do you want to *avoid* this? Does the idea of HAVING transitioned fill you with discomfort?

If not, then you're not cis. Cis people are *uncomfortable* with the idea of transitioning because they inhabit their AGAB. That's their entire deal.

EDIT 2: also, this is the MOST unintuitive thing ever - I firmly believe feeling "meh" about transition can paradoxically be a symptom of dysphoria.

I don't think it's an accident that I currently feel this way after some rough days, and while having to deal with several days' worth of facial hair. One way dysphoria manifests is that your emotions shut down for maintenance. It's good. But it doesn't mean they were never there in the first place.

I'm really proud of how I rigged this model! Isn't the tail mesmerizing? 🩷
