I have a nb/masc-leaning friend who was in a somewhat similar situation a few years ago and had a hysterectomy before starting T. T seems to have helped their health a lot, but it did really impact their living situation.

If you don't get what you need soon, I can reach out to my friend and connect you if you'd like. It looks like you've already gotten lots of great answers already, though.

@thegibson@hackers.town it was a good walk. Cold enough that the snow squeaked a little.

I was glad I had long underwear on. Thermasilk+polar fleece leggings+jeans is great. Also, Mongulai makes amazing wool socks. The gloves I wore were a bit thin, and I was only wearing a t-shirt and a flannel button down under my coat, so my elbows got a bit cold, but it was nice to get out.

Next time, I'll probably wear a long-sleeved knit shirt, too, and maybe switch to actually insulated gloves. It's starting to get cold, and it's nice to think about that. These were pretty normal temperatures for this time of year, growing up, and it feels nostalgic and comforting.

Have some pictures:

It is cold outside. I think it's about zero now, but that it was colder earlier.

I have been meaning to go for a little walk all day today, just to show the sky that I'm not afraid of it.

... But at the same time, I've been putting off my walk because I haven't found my favorite long underwear yet.

I'll update when I make it out, because I will make it out, and I bet you'd like little night pictures, even if they're a bit lame.

@wgahnagl yeah, here ya go :

If you don't already have a matrix account, we can make ya one, too. Cyberia is a computer club based in Minneapolis, but about half the people in our matrix aren't local. Happy to help if we can :)

@wgahnagl I usually ask computer questions in the #help-me-learn channel in matrix.cyberia.club. But uh, that's on matrix and not a forum. They're pretty nice folks, though, and are usually helpful enough to get me un-stuck.

I hope you find what you need! 💙

@RussSharek one of my favorite new years party traditions is countdowns to midnight. Like, plural. New years parties with my friends would feature a cacophony of countdowns all throughout the night (between maybe 10 pm and 3 am), all ending in the whole party proclaiming "Happy New Year!"

I'm glad that your party will feature multiple new years, as well. :)

This morning, I woke up snuggling with a partner. Then, we baked croissants with apples, chocolate, and brie. They traded my chocolate croissant for a brie croissant, since I liked the brie ones better. Somewhere in there, some work stuff happened. Pretty nice morning ~

@apisashla are you looking for a matrix server to vibe on? Cyberia.club runs a nice one. :)

I replaced the hair clip portion of it, but just uh, PSA, this is a great object and as very useful for being gendered as femme in a mask. The maker is very sweet.

@c0debabe any chance you might remember where an autism-friendly color guide might be? @kasserole was talking about it earlier and it seemed like something you might've seen.

Am I still in bed? Yes. Check out how one blade of my ceiling fan just disappears into the ceiling. It's very sneaky.
