I finally got around to seeing “I Saw The TV Glow”, and it definitely lived up to the hype.

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.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

    i have so many obvious grey hairs but i think they’re kinda cute! they just look a bit out of place… if i’m going to dye my hair i don’t just want to go brown or blonde, so i’m thinking i could lean into the grey a bit and go with like a silver vibe? i’m kinda scared that bleach will damage it but surely there’s ways to avoid that?

    Idk at what point I’m allowed to start feeling awkward but asked friend for help and have been left on read for 3 hours. Feels like an easy thing to help me with out of all transition stuff idk…

    edit: well, I guess not a hard no, she said it depends and she wants to talk next time we hang out. Supposedly Saturday. Guessing she won’t be thrilled about diy (didn’t explain much for opsec). fml etc etc

    sexual identity is weird because labels ostensibly have definitions but like, what terms to I “identify” with? what terms actually feel that, when said, represent me? somehow I identify with the terms straight, bi, and lesbian all at the same time, which just feels like being bi with extra steps, but that’s just what tickles my brain in the right way

    It always feels weird existing in public, at the gym rn did a plasma donation so just sticking to walking as I kill time till 3 when I got to pick up my mom. Might have to do with being in a different gym from my usual but idk

    negativity

    I hate my stupid life. I can’t believe where and who I am. Thinking about my childhood and teen years, how was that me. How am I who I am now. What is happening. Why is this me.

    depressing/climate change

    Saw this cute old couple at work today. Probably in their 70s. That will never be me. Very sad to think about. The world is going to be an inferno by that point.

    Spending my best years wasting away, hating my life, dysphoric, suffering, all the things. How miserable. And then dying early, if not by myself then climate change. As if either of those are good options.

    There are lots of guides for diy hrt or markets for transfemmes (I am guessing because estradiol and other medications for for transfems are not controlled substances)

    I’ve been worried lately about losing access to HRT given recent shit in the USA. Are there equivalent guides for testosterone/transmasc out there?

      I think such symbolism is important for making people feel more comfortable existing. Especially for children and adolescents who may feel alone IRL in places that are less accepting. Personally, I keep a little pride thing in my classroom. Have had it there for a couple years now and not had a single person say a thing about it.

      I don’t think it’s lib to feel that way. It’s basically a way to signal that you don’t actively hate queer and trans people, which is nice to know when engaging with someone.
