Abt switch
The Abt switch is a kind of railway switch used on funiculars (inclined cable railways) that doesn’t have any moving parts. It allows two cars to pass each other going uphill/downhill while sharing the same tracks. While most train switches rely on physically moving a section of track so the train goes one way or the other, the abt switch doesn’t move at all. Instead each carriage has a grooved wheel which makes it turn left or right at a junction by sticking to the track on one side.
As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

waow I’m back
I hung out on 4t4 for awhile, but it’s starting to get too negative for me again.Welcome back.
cw: cuts and blood
I was prepping bread with my tits out when I cut myself (not on the tits, but my brain did wander in that direction)
I didn’t have anything for cleaning up the wound so I ran it under water for a bit and let the blood coagulate on its own.
It’s a nice dark red color. I’m sure a doctor would approve.
cw: psychologist
The psychologist has prescribed me and online course with homework
.Came out to my trans friends! (I wonder why I had a bunch of trans friends while presenting cis lol)

Fuck I’m lonely
I hate being so alone
Two notes on this, one is everyone asking me what I did this weekend. I did fuck all. Second, work gave me two tickets to a local haunt and I don’t have anyone to go with.
But mostly just being alone sucks.
✨️ 🪄
Casting a magic spell to make the sadness go away!
We’re all here for you. Spaceships pinging each other in the wide cosmos.
*hugs*
yea… yea
I’m tired boss

I have once again concluded this shitty life isn’t for me and isn’t worth living. I dont have the capacity or motivation or whatever the fuck to actually improve and just want to wish them away. But they will not go away, they can’t, it is inescapable. Nothing is going to fix me or this god awful situation I’m in.
going to go scroll and go to bed. Then get up early to work the extra shjit I signed up for.
itd be so cool if my whole life didnt feel like punishment for something i didnt even do
Emotions are hitting harder
By emotions I mean sadness I keep getting to the verge of tears
Yeah sadness was the big one for the first bit. Going from never crying to crying at the drop of a hat can take adjustment. Eventually, emotionally, you get to experience way more and different and more fine grain than before with dysphoria and T.
I am less angry than I was before HRT but feminine rage is absolutely real and I get that.
The first couple months can be emotionally tumultuous, but once it calms down it can be nice to feel things differently. That’s how it was for me anyway.
I hear that happens. You partially inspired me to hit up my doc for hrt so hopefully I can join you in the tears soon :)
You’re going to make me cry :doggirl-cry: like actually am though…
Good job starting hrt!
I didn’t mean to make it worse! and thank you, I don’t know how long it will take, but it’s been so long I don’t mind waiting a bit longer
:kitty-cri: no no it’s okay… not your fault just a bit emotional…
If it sounds like the wait list is long just diy, it’s not that hard. That’s what I’m doing
Good for you, that’s an exciting step to take!
It’s exciting! A little scary, not a fan of doctors generally, but it’ll be worth it
Lol my appointment got pushed back months, but it turns out they are on leave, so now I’m speaking to somebody on Wednesday :)))))))))
I wasn’t advocating for you to buy a Steam Deck. I was just saying that you can use Steam as a controller-friendly launcher on your existing PC, to solve the problem you stated about not wanting to walk over and use KB/mouse to play games.
I don’t know what OS you’re on, but on Windows there is “One Game Launcher pro” on Windows store for a maybe offline option. I just think the steam features like steam input are worth using even for non steam games.
If you never buy a game or enter payment details I think the most info they need is name and email address. And you can basocally be perpetually be in offline mode if you don’t need game updates or to let Steam do game licence checks. Just make sure to configure it to default to library screen and big picture mode when you open it.
I could create a burner account and then have steam be sandboxed to never connect to the network. I think I’ll try that, I’m on NixOS
so installing Steam isnt too much of a hassle.

the financial feasability of leaving the US is looking less than ideal for us. woof
