    tbh I stopped drinking recently and I found i got a lot of mileage out of replacing it with yummy things that helped trick my reptile brain

    the monkey clapping cymbals in my head thinks that a non alcoholic beer is a beer, and it thinks a nice soda water w/ bitters is a cocktail

    I take some drug store sleepy meds before bed since I had similar feelings you do re: insomnia / 'i need to drink to sleep'

    I find the combination of tasty fake alcoholic treats + things that accomplish what my body is concerned about creates enough of a placebo for me personally.




  • 40 days sober

    electrolysis clinic booked to max. ill unionize against myself when I move offices, but for now the boss wants 12 hour days

    expanding to a full time office soon, at which point ill have capacity to do multiple days a month pro bono work for a local drop-in centre for LGBTQ folks

    training an apprentice, when they're ready we will convert the business to a workers co-op and bring on another apprentice. im raising an army of based communist electrologists.

    lets fucking go





  • I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.

    You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love pig poop balls and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

    classic banger






  • hey everyone if you're gonna get electrolysis, make sure to not change the topic of conversation to bizarrely intimate details about your sex life while I'm electrocuting your cock and balls. happens more often than you'd think and is pretty gross and I had to implement code of conduct forms and fire a client last week. which is fucking wild, I take this work extremely seriously, bottom surgery prep is my top priority work, it takes a lot for me to say "yep I don't wanna see you again"

    also make sure not to say things like "wow I'm in subspace" or any other fucking weird ass shit you wouldn't say to your barber or some other service worker shhh

    I feel like a lot of my clients think "wow you're trans, I'm trans too, we can talk about anything!!!". No we can't, you're a stranger, don't tell me weird ass shit in the first hour of knowing me when I'm supposed to be providing important care to you. maybe eventually when we're pals we can talk some freak shit, but holy fuck

    boohoo
