i've noticed a number of accounts which were fairly active in this community suddenly go dark recently:

1. @kivihiili@lemmy.blahaj.zone deleted their account about 6 days ago
2. @katiecakes@lemmy.blahaj.zone deleted her account about 7 hours ago (less than a day after a friendly back-and-forth comment chain with me)
3. at some point in the last 24 hours, another formerly very active user deleted pretty much her entire post/comment history from the past six months, which was mostly posts and comments here and on !trans_joy@lemmy.blahaj.zone . (not tagging here because her account is still up, even if mostly blank, and i don't know her reason for quietly deleting everything)
   EDIT: to be clear, i am NOT referring to Miisha, who has apparently also deleted her account within the past hour or so.

these are only the ones i've noticed, perhaps there are even more?

i was willing to accept a possible coincidence with the first two, but three fairly active accounts going dark in a week, two of which on the same day, is setting off alarm bells. does anyone know if these people are alright, and what the heck is going on?

(if you'd rather not disclose it publicly, please shoot me a DM on lemmy or at @daporkchop:daporkchop.net on matrix)

what if TotallynotJessica was actually Miisha the whole time?

the computer itself is on my rack, which is on the other side of the wall. i ended up drilling a hole through the wall and running 20m long USB and DisplayPort cables through it, then there's a DisplayPort MST hub which splits it up to drive the three separate monitors and a whole bunch of USB hubs for all the peripherals. adds a bit of complexity, but it's worth it because the fans are so damn loud, and it's also more fun :3

i love sweaters so much they're so cozy! this one is fuzzy inside :3

just got home from a friend's house, she was hosting a little party to celebrate her first E dose :3

i'm on vacation rn and don't have my regular conditioner (got thrown away by security smh), so i grabbed a bottle at a supermarket only to notice in the shower that this conditioner contains silicone. "surely it can't make that much of a difference!", i thought, and sure enough my hair looked pretty normal... until it dried:

how it started (mild nsfw: bra)

how it's going

i look like a fuckin bomb went off on my head, this is what i get for deviating from the Curly Girl bible for one day smh

that said, my hair has finally reached the length where it properly catches the wind and gets pulled back and let me just say it feels absolutely glorious

i also added a few stickers on the inside

wonder how much longer i can keep this charade going, my face has unmistakably been getting more fem the past 2-ish months

that said, i kinda don't even mind presenting masc that much anymore, mainly 'cause i'm pretty sure i look a hell of a lot cuter these days regardless of which gender people are reading me as :3

i don't think there's any real purpose to this post, i just kinda wanted to balance out my past selfies. 90% of the time i'm dressed like this, it feels more honest (?) to show the "normal" side, idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
