Aw, I've been using my evo for a while and didn't realize they'd gone out of business. They were always great to deal with for me. It's a nifty device, and I like the all glass air flow. That really only stayed true when using it with extracts in the glass nails though.

Have you found a reasonable clone for the baskets? I love those little things and used them in my portable as well.

Anybody dislike the production today even if the race has a great end? It felt like it took so long to see replays of any significant incidents/moves, if we saw them at all.

Plus, it was great to watch the four racing at the end for so long, but why take away the time splits? They just showed like lap times between two drivers at a time for all of it.

I feel like hair volume and fun styles, plus a lot of late 90s early 00s clothing is coming back in style right now! I'm having fun wearing it this time around.

If it turns out that running isn't your thing, I'd recommend trying some sports. Climbing is basically the only exercise that doesn't bore me to death. Plus, they're a great way to meet people, and a lot of cities have a queer specific league.

Probably not something you can affect, but my biggest issue with trans care is just access to it through insurance. Free clinics and out of pocket payments make it doable, but around me, the offices specializing in trans care don't cover insurances except the few largest.

I've tried to use different types of corn flour, but it's never quite right. The nixtamilization process dramatically changes the texture of the resulting masa. Fresh masa is even better, and can be made yourself if you're up for a project day.

I agree that flour tortillas may be your best bet if you can't find maseca. A wine or round liquor bottle with the label removed makes a great impromptu rolling pin.

I'm also interested in this for using stremio from phones and PCs. Chromecast in particular also kinda sucks due to limited codec support.

Yeah same, except it was later overturned where I live and they came right back. Luckily, at lesser numbers, because more of us were used to bringing our own by then.

The majority of my friends leaving Austin have done so because of state politics. It's hard to feel safe when you're queer in Texas.

Just wanted to add that event digitizing older records these days is better. Some hospitals do make old scanned notes indexed and searchable through OCR now.

Obviously everyone else is right when they say that clearly this isn't your fault, and add the most of the visual feminization comes from fat distribution, so it's going to need to be there anyway.

I also want to mention that changes only really happen once your hormone levels get to where they should be. For some people, it takes a while to work with their doctor to get T suppressed and E elevated enough to start seeing changes. Just keep up with your labs and don't be afraid to talk with your doctor about hormone levels that aren't where you think they should be.

The fun part of transitioning is that you'll get both traditional misogyny and new, unique flavors!

Seriously though, joining a group of people that you aren't used to being in will always feel weird, but luckily that goes away with familiarity. I feel like my advice is always the same though, which is to find a therapist informed on gender issues if you can afford one.
