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)

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

okay random as fuck but I saw a tweet which made me think about those MySpace bulletin surveys you used to do back in the day and, being the hoarder that I am, I actually found some that I had saved as text files

and holy shit, one of the first answers slapped me in the fucking face. I won't quote it verbatim on the off-chance that someone has a pre-wipe MySpace database, but it basically reads

internalized (?) transphobia (is this overkill pls advise)

I look female and feel female, but I have a dick so I guess I'm male :P

LORD SOMEONE GO TELL THIS CHILD THAT TRANS PEOPLE EXIST screm-aaaaaaaaaaaaa

that aside, I honestly had no idea I that kind of explicit eggy sentiment that early on. Sure, it's very flippant, but like--that's a weird thing for a cis guy to say, right? Wish I'd kept a diary, but I guess MySpace surveys will have to do

::: spoiler paranoia, dysphoria, transphobia, ableism, and genocide I'm extremely fucking scared right now. i had a nap earlier and there was a dream where my mom went into my room and found out (again) that I'm trans and was scolding me or whatever and i kept waking up and going back to sleep and thinking it was real, I went to sleep before that earlier thinking about what's happening in the USA and stuff and being horrified of the thought of a genocide happening. I'm so tired of my family too, all their transphobia is so tiring, and school too. I have to say nothing every time I'm called by my deadname instead of Sally and not say anything when people call me "sir" or "mr" or "young man" because if I do I'm in danger because of how fucking stupid Texas is. Brother back in March tried to literally gaslight me into thinking I'm not trans, saying "it's probably just an identity crisis" when I've identified as trans for 5 years now, he's the type that thinks you're "vulnerable" and can't decide for yourself if you're neurodivergent or something I think. I just want it to be 2027 or 2028 already so i can escape and be myself, why do I have to go through so much pain just to some day get to a point where I can hopefully be myself?

edit: i accidentally posted this suddenly and it scared tf out of me when i wasn't ready hopefully this is ok to post here though idk I'm an extremely paranoid person about everything

EDIT: okay thanks for the "congrats" everyone but i think i should clarify that i haven't even done like, anything at all to prep for this or research anything, this is just me realizing "i could probably start making those phone calls at this point in my transition". didn't mean to state that like, anything really happened to me beyond hitting the 1 year HRT mark, almost

Folx, I think I'm starting to develop a woman's intuition. For the last few days I've been worried that my homebrew estriadol order got cancelled, or fell through the cracks, or I got scammed for some bazingacoins, since I paid for it about a week ago and still haven't gotten a shipment tracking link. I even sent a support ticket asking them what the h*ck is going on. But on the way home, for no reason at all I thought "maybe I'll check the mailbox before going in" (not something I typically do), and lo and behold, it had arrived meow-shining

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 :::

sadposting, suicideWell, we're suicidal again. We had hoped that it was finally gone after starting HRT, and it was for a time, but looks like we are right back where we started mentally. *sigh*

Maybe it's just due to a bunch of traumas getting triggered today, but we doubt it given it's been like this for the last week or so and it seems to be getting worse not better.

We've also had to come to terms with the fact that trying to have a community is futile. All attempts at doing so have proved pointless and a net negative in the end. We are just too good at making everybody hate us we guess.

We guess that's kind of why we are posting this here, don't really have anywhere else to go. No community to be had. All of the friends that say "If you need me I'll be here for you" are nowhere to be found, as usual. We don't blame them, we are too much to handle and we know that. We can't even handle ourselves. Even if they were there they would just say they can't talk about this.

spoiler extra suicide and sadposting We really just don't see the point in being alive. Between our many disabilities and trauma we will never be functional, let alone happy. Better off just dying now than going through even more pain just to die later. Nobody would really miss us anyway.

Sorry for wasting everybody's time writing this post. We try and keep it positive but we just don't really care anymore. :::
