Children of Time is a 2015 science fiction novel by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

In the distant future, humanity seeks to create new habitats for itself on distant planets, terraforming them and seeding them with life. Dr. Avrana Kern is heading one such project, orbiting the tentatively named "Kern's World", where the plan is to release monkeys le-monke infected with a nanovirus that will accelerate their evolution. Through an act of sabotage from an anti-technology group that has also destroyed much of Earth, the monkeys are never released, and the virus instead infects a species of spider, Portia labiata. The book follows the evolution of the spiders and their eventual civilisation, as well as a remnant of humanity that fled to Kern's World hoping to find paradise.


also children of ruin and children of memory, the sequels, are really good

Boobs are growing again. Also probably more important than size for me is that they're getting a lot rounder and less awkwardly shaped catgirl-heart

i hate microsoft if you didn't know cw: dysphoriame: searching Microsoft Teams for a message.
Teams: includes "[deadname] (You) - message" in the results, despite my name being changed in the system and legally for 3 months.

yes, thank you microsoft for giving us pronoun flairs, that only me and like one enby in the company even use lol, but could you not deadname me? you are valued at 3.16 trillion USD and you can't amend (or can't be fucked amending) my name within a system you have almost complete control of. sometimes i see my deadname email flicker before being replaced with my new one and i can understand why they might have my old email but why are you storing my deadname???? is my legal name just a display name?? lea-dysphoric

i'm soooo fucking glad microsoft successfully abused their market power to eradicate slack and make us use this steaming pile of bland corpo dogshit. i throw up a little everytime i hear that fucking teams ping, i reaaaally want to quit just because of our dependence on this repugnant company

i know this comes off a bit trivial, i'm privileged to have an office job. but it gives off the same vibe as my birth certificate having "previously known as [deadname]", both constant reminders that i'll never be just me but me who used to be someone else and that shit sucks

As janky as slack can be on occasion, and as much as Iโ€™d prefer zero electron apps whatsoever, Iโ€™m really glad my team still uses slack. Teams(new)(new)(final)(new) is so much worse. Down with MS.

E: salesforce too, of course. Just that their UX is slightly less openly terrible.

A Shadow of Blood and Steel? A Heart of Fire and Lies? A Song of War and Time?

I'm just crowd sourcing generic fantasy titles, anything else?

Oh it's this one. I enjoyed it. after I read it I wanted to see what others thought so I went online to look at what people were saying and its just comments and comments full of pity "oh my gosh that's terrible the poor girl" and stuff. I was so confused

oh hey it's the book that cracked my egg

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 20 hours ago

I got it a while back after my egg cracked and I was diving into queer manga.

Kind of glad I didn't read it until now because it definitely related to more recent events in my transition rather than the egg crack era.

Like she has this list of things she needs to accomplish before she hires the escort, and I had the same kind of list of things I "needed" to do before I sought out hormones or came out as a girl. Both of us were like, "uh... Actually I can't wait anymore" lol

mental health, social isolation sad shit, avpd probablyI really gotta get my shit together mentally and get over my "what if it doesn't go well" woe is me bullshit and reach out to my old best friend who might be the (platonic?) love of my life or soulmate or something

I miss this person so fucking much and have for years now and at some point when shit got really bad for me when covid got serious here, I just completely shut down and isolated and retreated inward mentally and have just started tiptoeing back to being "myself" but I've thought of this friend pretty much constantly since then and I know reconnecting with them would be like, the single best thing I could do for myself but it's still so scary and daunting after all this time

I thought by now I'd finally be, like, me, fully, and could reconnect as a better version of the person they loved, but I feel more weird and fucked up and unhappy with myself now than I did when we were super close irl and part of what's been preventing me from reaching back out is that feeling of shame

I wish I could be better at the very least so they could feel better about me instead of being concerned or upset at what a mess I am

Idk sorry I'm really emotional tonight

sad, misgendering, deadnaming, family shit

call one relative I'm out to on the phone to catch up and vent because she was concerned and knows I've been struggling lately

deadnamed and misgendered like 6 times and talked over repeatedly

I don't know why I bothered tbh

She's "the good one" and the rest of the family would probably be worse if I ever bother to come out to them

I think the best idea is to just work on myself and my transition and maybe someday show up to something like nothing happened and act like they're weird for not recognizing me and then act really confused when they try calling me my deadname

At least I have cats

Anyone know if you have to take spiro with food? Or is it ok on an empty stomach too (โ ?โ ใƒปโ ใƒปโ )

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

You can take it on an empty stomach but it will get absorbed better if you eat it with food.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I've never worried about it and have never felt sick after taking it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

on my med bottle it says to take either or but to do it that way each time. i prefer to take them on an empty stomach. i think if you want to switch from empty stomach to w/food you would be ok. there have been days where i have taken w/ and w/o food and worst i felt was a bit o nausea which idek if it was from that but ymmv

CW: Extreme depression, dysphoriaMy brain is screaming out in agony tonight. I was watching GDQ and a lot of donations started to come in about how trans folks families were so accepting and supportive. What a stark difference between them and myself where I lost literally everyone except for my mother. I even lost my fucking husband. It's so painful. I'm so happy others had it better than me, but gods it's killing me on the inside and I just want to cry. It hurts so much. Sometimes I wish I wasn't trans and this is one of those moments. I fucking hate everything right now.

spoilermeow-hug My brain isn't doing good tonight either. I'm sorry. I wish the same thing sometimes.

I snorted

I love that Khizuo is making rad characters and creative shit thoughtrans-heart

I'm working on a creative thing too and would love to get some feedback at some point too if any of you would like that

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i'd be interested in seeing it! although idk how available i would be to offer too much substantive critique. but i love seeing other peoples' creative projects!

It's a fanfic/trying to be canon Halo thing that I want to make into a full fledged standalone fan game/mod like SPV3, probably built in the Reach engine but I need to build a better PC and learn Assembly to make it but I'm working on my script and have some cool ideas imo

(For the Halo heads, Rosenda-A344 is a major character and finally gets her time in the spotlight, and it's about what she and the other team she was assigned to were up to when Col. Holland swapped her out for Emile-A239 on NOBLE-team prior to the fall of Reach. I have my cast of characters and a basic plot outline and a couple vertical slice type gameplay things planned that I think will be cool, one with a dope soundtrack synced to the dialogue and encounter that I'm really looking forward to bringing to fruition)

I crave dog and catgirl literature so I think I might get back into reading unjust depths.
