Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells πŸ₯š, seashells 🐚, and pearls πŸ¦ͺ are made out of.

In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:

HαΊ‘ Long Bay in Vietnam

Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar

The Li River in China

Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (~~Veryovkina~~ Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations

Mammoth Cave in the United States

Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

relationship sadpostingholy fuck i wish more than anything that i could have someone treat me like i fucking matter to them. like they want to be with me. like they think that i'm special. i want to be loved and venerated and cherished and treated like someone who means something to someone. i hate being alone. i hate being single. i hate only knowing the feeling of physical affection and intimacy as something in my head but for the fucking life of me i can never actually find anyone who can just fucking click with me. i feel too starved to keep going but i have to keep going anyway

cissy here, went to a protest against the recent UK ruling, very good turnout for the size of my city :)

cw: transphobia, dysphoria, anxiety, depressionParents (transphobic, not out to) visiting for Easter has fucked my mental health. Just feel dysphoric and ill for needing to boymode. The cruddy weather isn't helping. Feel too depressed and anxious to text/reach out to any of my friends or dates. Was able to slip out of their hotel and ditch them for now, but don't feel like doing anything. Just want to curl up and lay on my bed. It doesn't help that everything but the Walmart is closed down for Easter, and that was out of the pink nail polish that I specifically wanted to pick up to do trans pride colors. Cannot wait until they leave so I can paint my nails and do some makeup practice to feel better. catgirl-cry

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

Well full baby trans (thigh highs, dysphoria hoodie, cat girl mask) and texted my date some pics. Got some validation from them and I feel much better.

So are trans women not allowed to use the ladies room in the UK anymore?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago

I’ve been using both randomly trying to get a feel for people’s reactions, but no one really has so far.
I think I might rather deal with potentially getting harassed in the men’s room then having the cops called on me tho.

Yesterday's transfem spicy noodle challenge made me realize once more that there's two types of trans girls:

  • can't handle any amount of spicy, makes me want to protect her from roaming pepper corns wandering into the area

  • loves spicy and makes me want to egg her on to try more of the good stuff

Oh and then there's chili fox girl who just seems to be immune to capsaicin. I was crying and blowing my nose nonstop from my noodles and had a spot below my lips that actually got a little chemical burn and she did not only have the same amount of the hot sauce, she also put the carolina reaper powder on it that she likes to bring along and she didn't even break a sweat.

I'm normally more of a possum girl, but on a bad day i can relate to cobras a lot

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I love spicy foods but it's a struggle because they make my nose runny and threatens the makeup covering my beard shadow.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

yeah i normally don't care much about re-applying makeup throughout the day nowadays bc laser fixed the beard shadown problem for me, but after learning we were going to do spicy noodle stuff i actually packed foundation and eyeliner and had to use both after i was done leaking fluids from my face.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

Even just a hint of spicy makes my face bright red and I start sweating like crazy. People always ask me if I’m still okay because I look like I’m dying.

Still love it though. panting

Oh my god I need to feel more fem/like a woman doggirl-cry Hopefully I can do my nails soon I guess. And I'll get access to hrt soon- still worried about actually starting though. So, so worried. Going to go cry myself to sleep. Goodnight mega.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

don't see anything about it here or in the news mega but just wanted to share that there was an enormous protest in parliament square (and up and down the UK) yesterday against the supreme court ruling on wednesday. all of parliament square was filled and people were spilling out onto the roads.

strength, exerciseIve been playing it low and slow with weightlifting recently, been keeping my weights low and my reps high (8-12 reps per set) to adjust slowly, but today I pushed my curls to 3x8 20 pound dumbbells and fuck that felt so good. I had to push and really try to get those reps while maintaining good form, it felt amazing to challenge and push myself and really feel my body put in a lot of work to move weight. I feel so powerful pulling off harder lifts, the feeling of strength is kind of intoxicating

waffling about sexuality, possible HRT changes or maybe just possible life changesover the past two weeks on multiple occasions I've found myself referring to myself as "straight" in my head and I can understand why. Let me be clear, I'm not straight, I'm bi. I've known I was bi since I was 16, but recently all my sexual/romantic thoughts have fallen almost exclusively towards men and I... don't really know what to feel about that at this point. I don't really think HRT "changed" my sexuality. I know perfectly well that for years of my life I spent pining after women to attain a femininity that I craved but couldn't have in myself. But as I've grown far more comfortable in my place in life as a woman, I feel like my attraction is actually what I'm looking for in a partner, and that's something that feels... like I want a man.

and I'm just not really used to any of this and don't really know what to make of it tbh.

spoiler extra sad i've fallen asleep every night for the past two weeks to the thoughts of men doting on me and making me feel special. making me feel like they want me and care for me. my bed remains totally empty but with a new flavor of sadness that i never really felt before :::

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

I... don't really know what to feel about that at this point.

Feel good about it! If that's what you're wanting, there's no need to interpret it for anything other than what it is.

I think it's normal to lean that way when you first transition because it really validates your femininity (as boynomoder said). Maybe you'll stay there, and maybe you won't.

And you don't need to say you're straight. Just say you're on a guy kick rn doggirl-lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

And you don't need to say you're straight. Just say you're on a guy kick rn

Oh no, I'm not straight. I'm still very much bi, thank you very much. hexbear-bi-2 I've only called myself straight without thinking first before realizing "hey that's not correct". I'm just not used to being into men this much

and idk if I'm doing it to feel more valid in my femininity. I've been getting a lot more comfortable with it in recent months and for decades before transitioning I sought after women to compensate for the femininity I felt like I didn't have. I've felt more into men the more comfortable I've been with myself (though it's still 100% possible I'm not that comfortable with myself. I saw some of those picture of my self last night and... oof)

@[email protected] because i guess this is a response to you tto

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago

I feel like it’s normal for your preference to fluctuate as a bisexual, especially when transitioning.

When I was younger I leaned more towards men because I was just discovering my sexuality and it was validating to my femininity/identity, but now it’s much more leaning towards women.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 17 hours ago

Attended a protest here in the UK about the recent ruling. Good times, was a nice show of solidarity between trans people and local allies and other queer communities.
