considering voice training but idk. i donāt think it would take me too long to get the hang of (singing/linguistics and already shift between three different accents š) but just have to push past the brain inertia and try it.
i got my 6 month (8 month š¬) blood test yesterday so feels like a good way to mark it :)

Comment on GQ interview with Louis Theroux on his upcoming documentary about the manosphere in ~life.men
bellewinn Link Parentit's interesting to try and take down a documentary before you've even seen it, from a pre-interview intended to promote it. a little quick off the mark, wouldn't you say?it's interesting to try and take down a documentary before you've even seen it, from a pre-interview intended to promote it. a little quick off the mark, wouldn't you say?

i think it helps that mentally i feel like iāve progressed a lot further, and also that i spend a lot of time in more queer accepting spaces. iām not the most femme girl around (nor do i want to be) so it is just about being myself without apology at this point. quite a few people have told me they think i look feminine despite the way i dress which helps (life-long moonface paying dividends now!) and through the dysphoria even I can sometimes tell E has been very good to me.
and yeah, things like car crashes put things into perspective. gotta try and live each day like itās my last as saturday so nearly was, and i donāt want my last day to be spent worrying about how others view me/my gender/any other aspect of my life

If I'm crewing a show, couldn't matter less, that's all physical work. If I'm in a higher level role at uni or something losing the local network could very easily ruin my day.

Comment on What's your go-to hot sauce? in ~food
bellewinn Linkcholula or encona scotch bonnet. aunt mays bajan pepper sauce is really good as wellcholula or encona scotch bonnet. aunt mays bajan pepper sauce is really good as well
slightly huge, but thought i'd answer all the questions :)
i'm a lot more at home with a slightly older crowd as my interests and cultural references generally skew older
unfortunately, in increasingly self-contained silos for both. there aren't many third spaces anymore, so people generally stick to school friend groups and don't branch out. when i was in secondary we'd spend a lot of time roaming the streets and hanging around in parks, but i did attend a queer youth group where i met a lot of good people. these days the only place i hang out online really is here and the discord for the youth charity i volunteer for, with a couple other servers thrown in, but there was a plethora of random communities beforehand as i found my footing
good! i'm british, but i did well at GCSEs (taken at Grade 10 equivalent school year) and got distinctions both years of my Production Arts BTEC (a more vocational course in stagecraft, taken at Grade 11/12 equivalent school year). i'm now in the first year of my live events production BA!
as mentioned before, reddit exodus -- i can't exactly remember how i joined though š
i probably have as much an idea as you. today i made a vision on gallery reference haha
in real life, i guess there's a growing sense of ennui as it seems we're inheriting a world that might end up mostly destroyed, there isn't really any chance of owning property and even less of starting a family (18 and will end up saddled with ~Ā£42k in student loan debt with RPI+3% interest...), our rights are being stripped back, etc etc. more personally i don't really know if i will end up working in my industry at the end of these three years...
as for tildes, it doesn't bother me, it's more of a salve to be honest. i wish i had the time to finish up the MR i submitted two years ago though š¬
i'd say i use it across life :P
