So we've switched over to a better Internet provider than Optus. But for some reason some websites work and some don't. Like YouTube is fine, but Mastodon just doesn't want to work. Twitter kind of works, but like other streaming services don't work. It's very weird. I'm getting better downloads and uploads than I have previously, but this is so weird
Perhaps somebody can explain the 300 comments spinny thing double ups phenomenon we sometimes experience better than me.
Fuck family are annoying. Mum still refuses to do some ten minute reads about having a trans kid so she still treats me like a fucking man. My son was asked to house sit for my sister for a fortnight, so she just plonked herself along. Now I can't stand to see her because it fucks with my head so I'm missing quality son time, which I've been missing a lot, cos he's terrible at messaging, but super present when we spend time together. He was the first person to know I'm trans and has been awesome.
Mum called me daddy yesterday and has a very, you're a certain aged person when I was excitedly showing them how my baldness is receding, I've told her a dozen fucking times I'm a 14 year old girl mentally right now. Can you please show the same sensitivity? Acceptance of my new superficialities are nowhere near enough. Her and my sister have been very no, you tell us what you're going through, even though I've explained multiple times that it's painful to talk about the insensitivities they show. There's so much support around for families of trans people, I've given them the advice and showed them how to access it. As I've stated again, multiple times, if I had autism or was blind, they'd be across it of their own volition, but this all comes across like they think I have some kind of choice over this. I've had so many shitty experiences with being trans in the last month and it's starting taking a toll.
Journal entry no 311 dated 8/8/23 kthxbye
but you don't have the life experience or education of a 14 year old girl, this experience may be new to you but you have context and a grown up brain
just be you , big hugs ,
your mum will come around, she's had fewer hours of contact time with you than you've had, you have 24/24, she has maybe a few hours a week
sounds like your kid is a good one - you've done good there, right on.
It was a lovely afternoon for gardening. I did some weeding in the front yard and divided up the jeruselum artichokes. I was thinking I would just spread them out a bit and not eat much this year because I only planted a few small pieces last year, but they are really prolific - I ended up with a box full to eat! I also cut a couple of fennel bulbs which are growing really well this year.
Japchae for dins tonight.
Have all the bits including mushrooms.
Been following a different one normally but tonight giving nagi's recent one a go. Seems legit.
4 degrees? What do? Why? I'm not built for this climate ๐ฆ
I was a bit late getting to the food cupboard this evening and it was picked clean of everything except some spring onions. Which is actually pretty good news, both because onions are the main thing I need more of right now and because it means all the jeruselum artichokes I took up this afternoon are gone.
@[email protected] can you please ask the Lemmy people about the 300 comments spinny thing repeated comments and collapsed comments bug problem we have. @[email protected] has the link down below.
I'm making bread from scratch. I'm scared and excited all at the same time.
Oooo you can do it! It's one of my favourite foods to make! Plus your house will smell like baked bread ๐คค
Also, take a huge whiff of the dough after proofing; it smells like beer ๐บ

Do dodgy plumbers make kitchen sink pipes glued together so you have to call them and pay them more money? Sus. I'm renting but just wanted to fix it myself so no one has to intrude in my space :(
Has it got that blue shit on it? They do it to stop leaks. You can buy a special little tool from bunnings for under $20. It's a plastic thing that unlocks stuck pipes.
