Corn? No. Corn nuts? Absolutely, sign me up.

The more I read about Celeste, the more I think I should give it a try

I want Animal Crossing but I don't have a switch 😭

I've definitely given Sims and Terraria a few plays. The Sims is fun for designing and house design which I love.

In general, I struggle with the 2D aesthetic since it's usually 8/16bit and I don't "see" myself as the character usually. But I should give it another try.

I do love Satisfactory for that reason. I love the femme/androgynous character design. I mostly spend time trying to build a perfectly efficient forge but I run out of patience after I get the coal stage - which I realize is super early in the game lol

I definitely love Life is Strange and Stardew Valley! But Stardew Valley stresses me out lol I know it's supposed to be relaxing but the day/night cycles give me anxiety to get stuff done quickly before seasons/years end.

Maybe I'll do Unpacking or Skyrim but try it in 3rd person?

I know what you mean. The implication in Jadzia's statement is that she's typically adhering to straight relationships depending on her gender identity at the time. That being said, if you watch the show and are willing to be a little generous, you can make the claim that she's pansexual. The actress explicitly has said she wanted to portray her character as pansexual. Also, the trill retain the memories and wisdom of previous partners. It's hard to imagine that Jadzia wouldn't feel attraction to her previous partners. In fact, if you watch DS9 S04E05 - Rejoined you'll see Jadzia kiss her former wife and claim she still feels love for her. In addition, that kiss was one of the first televised lesbian kisses!

Two members of the TV Show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine are having a conversation, Jadzia Dax and Chief O'Brien.

Jadzia Dax asks "Wife problems, Chief?"

"How did you know?" Chief O'Brien replies.

Jadzia goes on to say, "Well, I've been a husband and I've been a wife, and I know that look from both sides."

I appreciate the concern and it's super kind of you to bring that all up. I've dealt with depression my whole life and I've gone to extensive therapy to treat it. On the positive side, I have tons of tools, medications, and support to deal with depression. My wife is aware of my history and I'm going to therapy. I'm taking Lexapro to alleviate my general depression. I'm not super worried about it because my wife and I understand that – if it ever gets to that point – I'll take HRT to alleviate my symptoms and begin fully transitioning.

Kids are really important to me. I've always wanted a decently sized family and my first child has been nothing but joy (and work, but mostly joy). As for the IVF, it's definitely on the table. My wife and I are going to assess a natural pregnancy solution in a few months and decide then if we're interested in trying. I'm pretty sure I can hang on that long. In the meantime, I'm doing everything I can via diet, exercise, and hair to achieve the goals that HRT isn't going to naturally provide. I'm hoping that we can get pregnant, I can then freeze my sperm, and then I can go on HRT. Basically, I'd be waiting 6-9 months before the HRT arrives at my doorstep. That's a long time and my plans might change, but that's the currently plan.

Yeah I'm definitely struggling internally but I've been ok. I really want more kids and IVF is expensive. We are considering freezing my sperm, but it's expensive and I'm not exactly wealthy. I'm not poor, but I am a little strapped these days. I don't know what to do about it but I feel a bit stuck. My life plan is to have 2-3 kids. My wife wants more kids as well. She's nervous about the costs of IVF and she's afraid IVF might not work which would start to get even more costly. It's all very new to both of us so it's hard to just suddenly turn around and change our life plans drastically. I only came out to her a month ago or so.

Congratulations! 🎉 Sounds like a great week
