@sodium_nitrate@lemmy.ml update on my situation
spoiler
I fucked it all up, I am alone now.

spoiler weight + dysphoria
I am not kidding when I say this fat fucking tummy of mine is ruining my life. Makes me feel worthless and ugly. And it's all because I eat food to feel better about myself and suppress hunger. Fuck this bullshit.

spoiler suicide
I know killing myself by trying to starve myself is slow and gives me too much of a chance to chicken out. But it'd still be a fitting way to die given just how much I fucking hate the fact that I have to eat food and love eating food.
That time when I was starving myself I felt better than ever. Like I was finally doing something right. Only reason I stopped is cause I convinced myself that dying wasn't worth it. Even still, there was a huge part of me that just didn't want to resume eating.

Been feeling better the last couple of days, lunch with my lesbian friend was super nice, never had plantains before and holy shit they were good. Kinda expensive but good. Then we went and picked up a mattress lol.
I've still got a few more things I want to pack up, we aren't doing it all at once or anything but I'd like to get as much moved as possible.
Also need to shave everything sooooo bad it looks terrible, worst it's been since I started :/ disappointing tbh, just a really rough few weeks..
Kinda expensive but good
And they're super easy to make since you just roast them or fry them and they're good both savory and sweet
The last thing i did at work that got a plantain nerd all got and bothered was just a lil bit of salt, a little lil bit of allspice, nutmeg and cloves, a bunch of cumin, brown sugar, a little bit of cinnamon and some pureed ginger, tossed all that together with some frozen apple slices and roasted hot until they brown and the insides start to kinda bubble out (maybe roasting less would be good though because theres so much caramelization at that point that bits can kinda stick to your teeth). I've also done them with a coconut milk syrup glaze and that's been pretty good and that'd go good with that too
I WANTED to do the thing with the apples but also make like a pie crust with pulverized ginger crackers but everybody I suggested it to was like "that'd be weird" and then the sous chef told me "no don't do that"
Also if you like plantains you might like tostones too which are under ripe plantains that get fried and then flattened and then fried again and served with sauces and stuff
Didn't have too long because I'm at work, it was a whole sandwich with steak and lettuce and some other stuff on it with plantains as the bun. They also had the best fries I've had in years. Oh it was so good.
I'll have to try making them at some point, tostones sound really good too. Next time I go I'll see if they have them

iwtv (movie for me, and then the show) really did a lot of work on me.
Ngl while my breasts are really small they do have a nice shape.
I'm having a little trouble with this. Like, I can feel the volume, I can see them poking through my shirt, but when I take it off I can't see much different, it's a little weird. I'm close to 5 months only though, so they should grow still.
Funny I feel like the exact opposite with mine—they're decently big but still kinda coney. Today is actually two months on prog and I do feel like it has helped some, but I hope they'll continue to fill out properly
I think that's pretty typical, I'm 8 months hrt/A cups so they probably/hopefully still have some growing outward to do
Photosynthesis mega let's gooooo 
How do we not have more plant emojis?
I can't come out to my bi fujo cousin who doesn't know I'm queer because she has no discretion and I won't come out to my straight fujo cousin who suspects I'm queer because she keeps saying increasingly funnier things to hint she's cool with it and I want to see how far she'll go
Normally I'd say you should come out to people who will be supportive, but that does sound like a laugh 
She would be supportive but I suspect she wouldn't be regular about it. She told me she hopes her 1yo son is gay

Both of these cousins have told me to watch Heated Rivalry
Lmao my straight cousins have said the same to me
My brother and I took a male cishet friend to a Heater Rivalry event once. He didn't know what he was agreeing too. Was a good time.
Feeling both proud and lucky that I've been able to make emotionally supportive friends I can go to when I'm struggling. Never really had that before.
Just throwing on a short skirt on top of whatever shit we were wearing still gives up a surprisingly good mood boost, esp w how low effort that is to do 
Oh I love how good skirts make me look, skirts are awesome
Highly recommend wearing a skirt anytime u can

Fuck, I came here to say that! You took my everything away from me!
I think my dad hasn't really processed my being trans because I'm a lesbian, like he'd be mad if I dated men but because I'm interested in women I'm normal in his head.
Excited to see how he responds if and when I date another trans woman.
I think frequently about whether my dad would be as accepting if i wasn't a lesbian and a butch at that. though he saw in a dress for the first time recently, and while a taken a bit aback, he seemed to take it in stride.
Has he said anything to suggest he's the type who somehow thinks gender and romantic/sexual orientation are intimately connected? Somehow one of my lesbian moms is confused about the difference between the two.
one of my lesbian moms

Yes. He's of a generation that sees being a trans woman as a type of upgraded gay man. I think he just thinks me being trans and dating women as like crossdressing or drag (and that he's now very accepting of that)
We were talking about my dating again soon and he said something about how he imagined it would be hard to find a straight woman in my situation.
And was surprised when I explained I was going to date lesbians and other queer women. He's also historically very homophobic to men who are gay.
down with cis
down with cis!

SCREAMING ON THE BUS

Injection done, no leaking today, no pain, all perfect. This week will be good.
Peanutbutter in name
Didn't make a peanut butter thread

What is going on?
I might do it next time, I think I have an interesting angle on it.
I need fantasy books that go all out on magic technology.
Like why are mfs fighting with swords and staffs? Where's my drone swarms? Magic artillery/ICMBs? Assassinations by telephoning poison into your enemy's wine? Automated magic artifact production factories?
Why is a world with magic got miners using pickaxes? Where's my magic smart tablets inscribed with speed casting runes? What about huge alchemical processing facilities that pump gigatonnes of philosopher's stone fluid into the wizard economy?
I know there's probably some books like that (I've even read one but won't recomend the series cause it got wierd in that horny middle aged Japanese writer way if you know what I mean).
Maybe you'd like City of Last Chances, by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It has several of those elements.
Youd love Ebberon
I kind of stopped reading him, but Brandon Sanderson's mistborn (particularly second era) and Stormlight is that. People making technology within the rules of the magic systems.
i'm still waiting to reach the level of veganism where i can subsist solely off of photosynthesis. currently im still in the rock and stone munching level 

Rock and stone munching will certainly do something for your teeth. I can't promise it'll be anything good - but it will do something.
As of the time of posting, photosynthesis beat peanut butter eleven votes to seven, so here you go.
Imagine being named peanut butter and you don't get to talk about peanut butter
Honestly I thought about doing the peanut butter post anyway
