OMGOMGOMG i cant believe the days finally here! The appointment itself was relatively painless, with them asking me about my goals and helping me figure out navigating further. I walked out with my prescriptions!

Estradiol, spiro, vocal training and electrolysis?! It feels like a dream 🥰

It feels like the end of a long painful journey, but the start of another different journey. Hopefully happier and better (literally cant see how it could be worse than before). Im excited to live my life, finally, after all this time. Its still a long road, but a road im happy to go down!

First shot down! Didnt hurt at all 😁

Also, i wanna take the time to appreciate and thank the community that got me here. Literally would still be in my depression hole if not for all the lovely online spaces ive been in. Special thanks to Nikki and Moonroot and others who post, comment, interact with everyone, and generally make this place very welcoming. You lot put out such immaculate vibes and i wouldnt have really pushed myself to finally take charge of all this if it werent for you lovely ladies. So thank you ❤️❤️

I shouldve posted yesterday but i was too GD excited. It still feels like a dream 😂

Anyways, happy friday! Hope everyone has an awesome day!

A federal judge in Virginia has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from moving ahead with plans to create a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who it says were wrongly targeted by the government in the past.

The brief order from US District Judge Leonie Brinkema says the administration cannot take any action “pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund, which includes the transferring of money to the Fund; the consideration of any claims submitted to the Fund; and the disbursing of any funds from the Fund.”

The red sign says "Caution"

Researchers normally submit such findings to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) for patching to prevent hackers from exploiting them. But Nightmare Eclipse has deliberately ignored the responsible disclosure route, citing claims that Microsoft mistreated them.

“They mopped the floor with me and pulled every childish game they could,” the researcher wrote last month, without elaborating. “It was soo bad at some point I was wondering if I was dealing with a massive corporation or someone who is just having fun seeing me suffer but it seems to be a collective decision.”

Hello everyone one !!!,

I hope you’re all doing okay …i know i disappeared for a while and some people were wondering what happened after our last travel updates.

before everything changed, we were in the final stages of preparing for resettlement to canada and trying to raise support for vaccinations before travel.

then me and some of the girls were taken by unknown people after leaving an IOM appointment in juba and for a while everything stopped. survival became our main focus and i honestly didn’t know how to continue updating people during that period.

thankfully we survived and made it back safely.

since then I have been trying to reconnect with IOM and our case workers so the process wouldn’t completely stop for us.

a few days ago we started receiving emails connected to our travel documents and later that same day our case worker called to tell some of the girls to stay ready because IOM may pick them for travel around the 14th of this month.

it finally feels like things are starting to move again after a very frightening period for all of us.

right now we are still trying to raise around $ 1212 for vaccinations and vaccine cards needed before travel for the remaining girls. even a small contribution of $5 or $10 helps bring them closer to this new beginning.

I’m coming back to this community because I know many of you care deeply about refugees and queer people who are still trying to find safety after years of danger and displacement.

Any support, share or boost truly means so much to us Support link is in my profile.if you are able

Thank you to everyone who continued supporting, checking on us and sharing our story even while things went quiet

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to give a closed-door interview Friday over her handling of the federal government's investigation into the late, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.

As head of the Justice Department, Bondi faced intense criticism over the agency's release of a trove of documents pertaining to Epstein that revealed personal information and images of survivors.

Bondi's appearance before the House Oversight Committee comes weeks after President Donald Trump fired her in April. She told CNN on Wednesday that she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after her exit from the DOJ.
