Don’t let British people convince you they are smarter than Americans, they may be worse

getting out of bed does be hard this time of year

We should add a Xenia emoji to hexbear. (perhaps the [email protected] logo? (or maybe some other image at https://xenia-linux-site.glitch.me/ ))

Next year will be the year of the Linux desktop, just you wait! :smuglord:

I had quite the fun and exhausting night last night, right here on Hexbear.net all thanks to Bureaucrat. I really love this bit.

Gonna try linux desktop again. Is there a preferred distro among people who contribute to the kernel? Not that I likely will, I just want to flatter myself lol

Debian 4 lyfe

i've been a mac/linux person for a long long time but i've just kind of happened across the money for a macbook a couple times which has kept me from having to go full linux - i got one from a uni course a few years ago. this one is nowhere near obsolete and i'm sure i have years left with it. but helping my partner set up a linux laptop has made me feel p good about the fact that simply there is no financial way for me to continue my mac habit. i've been kinda stuck on it for so long partly due to disability because for some reason the macbooks give me way less pain to use. but money is money no matter how disabled i am, and i think i could cope with the same laptop as they have, physically, and mentally i am feeling good about a linux switch. so i'd already been thinking a lot about linux when i saw this adorable trans mascot post. so thank you!

More dream posting:

I had a dream that I came out to my mom, and she reacted very positively. She asked me to dress up and go see a musical with her. I didn't have the heart to tell her that musicals are really more gay coded, but she was trying to be supportive lol.

Anyway, we went because she likes musicals even though I hate them haha

This is a stark contrast to last week's dream where she was super transphobic. A welcome change.

Also hi

I miss the good old days when men would name their sons “Gaylord”

after three months my insurance finally gets back to me to say "we're not paying for your therapist lmao" i am going to scream

I just bumped into the evil version of me today. You know the one who is prettier and richer than you with a fancier sounding similar name to you with an obnoxious laugh and she's really mean and has a gaggle of obnoxious friends? Yeah that one. She's a bitch

Starting a new life in a new place and it’s going better than expected. Kindly issue is that I’m scared something will happen to sabotage it, like it’s too good to be true, or something I don’t really deserve. I guess there’s not much else I can do besides try to stop catastrophizing and make the best of it while I can.

Anyways, I know it’s been a stressful time for everyone with the elections and the struggle sessions on the site haven’t helped much. How’s everyone holding up?

Also on the topic of the election outcome, we had a good discussion in tracha (which you should all join btw, link in sidebar) about options for trans people in the US wanting to leave. I believe Canada lets in USians for up to 6 months with just a birth certificate and photo ID, which could be useful.

Anyone else have any good knowledge or strategies they might want to share for queer people who feel under threat?

Thank the gods for psilocybin

I saw a gender affirming doctor the other day and it’s really funny because they were unsure about upping my finasteride to higher dose because it might have side effects, and they were like “don’t you just want oestrogen?”. And I’m like “pretty sure that would have more side effects”.

Doing baseline bloods though in case I do decide and I’ve just upped the finasteride anyway.
