    I am not immune to timeline prompt posts. I started HRT when I was 20, and I was on 2mg of estrogen a day for a long time. Attached, we have, roughly: 2 years pre-HRT; 2 years post-HRT; 10 years post-HRT; 18 years post-HRT. Quite happy with the results.
    Old, analog photo: What looks like a young man (you have to say that because the person in the picture turned out to be a trans woman) sitting in a booth at a Frankie and Bennys. The person has very short, blonde hair, wire-rimmed glasses, thick eyebrows, and is wearing a black collared shirt with pink pinstripes
    A you g trans woman, too thin, like so many of us are at that age, in a white outfit wearing a complicated beaded necklace, sitting on a couch and laughing. She has short, red hair with swooping bangs. She is laughing. Eyebrows less intense. Someone nearby is holding a beer bottle.
    Selfie. A young woman in a crisp white shirt, undone to show a bit of cleavage. Her hair is long, and almost wispy, dark brown with blunt bangs. No glasses, just blue eyes and a bold red lip.
    Selfie. Three-quarter shot so Avery could include her breasts, which seem full if a little sunburned. That necklace from the second photo is back! Her hair is still long, the bangs less blunt and the brown a lot lighter, with a bunch of greys, too. She’s wearing a cream v-neck/scoop neck button-up long sleeved tee, it’s weird but it looks good. From Abercrombie in 2019, I think.
    trans women: how old were you when you started hrt and are you happy with your results so far?

    “don’t use q-tips to clean your ears, you’ll just push the wax in further!!” well, yeah, sure, except for my special technique. if I use my special technique then it’s fine.

    I’m done, I need every single product with nicotine in it banned globally. look at the fucking nightmare world we’ve created. this is absolutely dystopian.
    Each vape gets tested by a person? This is incredible, bro is locked in, said he can test 10,000 vapes a day lol.

    I know someone who, when working as a concierge at a fancy hotel, accidentally bumped into Brosnan while she was crossing the lobby in a hurry. She said, “I’m so sorry!” and he put his hand gently on her wrist and replied, “Entirely my fault.” Can you IMAGINE.

    Tweet from aedison: “I wrote "I am alive" on a piece of paper, and placed it into a photocopier. What I saw next has shocking implications”
    I asked chatgpt's new image model to script and generate a series of comics starring itself as the main character. The results genuinely gave me chills. I'll post them all in a thread below.

    heads up this is THE way to memorize a bunch of text perfect. the first letter of every word gives your brain enough of a hint that it can recall the full thing but not TOO much of a hint that your brain doesn’t have to TRY to recall it. You don’t have to write it like zodiac tho
    Crying at everyone’s reactions to Pedro Pascal showing them how he memorises his lines 😭

    this royal photo stuff… funny how you all suddenly feel like you have a license to talk about women’s bodies… newsflash: some women have zippers in their hair. some women’s legs are too small and oddly bent in on themselves. some women don’t have reflections

    SNL is a social experiment to find out if you can make comedy gold by subjecting a group of funny people to a pointlessly grueling production schedule and bottlenecking all their ideas through one increasingly-out-of-touch old man. The answer: very, very occasionally!

    so, uh, I had this appointment today, over the phone. call lasted a minute and a half. my GP was surprised that I’d been on estrogen for 14 years. “have you had a hysterectomy?” “no, I’m a transgender woman.” “oh! oh, so you’ll need to be on HRT for life” it was fine

    DEVIL: You shall stay forever young, but this picture of you will bear the marks of your sin! DORIAN: Can I hide it? DEVIL: Well, yes, but— DORIAN: And there are no other consequences? DEVIL: This… This picture will become so foul! DORIAN: Again, probably I’ll hide the picture.

    “if you’re a good tenant, your landlord would want you to stay!” the average landlord would evict jesus christ himself if it meant they could move in someone who will pay $5 more a month, please be serious
    every friend I’ve caught up with since coming back to Toronto has talked about rent control and auto-month-to-month being the only reason they’re still able to live here. this proposed change will functionally make homeless every long-term tenant in the city. absolute insanity
