Fruits basket, and the whole thing with foster care and bio dads. I work with foster kids and it absolutely wrecked me.

I got tired of windows feeling like my only option. I knew there were alternatives out there so I went searching.

Mint and Kubuntu are both super easy to install and use and I’m glad to help my friends with installing a new OS whenever they ask.

If a computer is a car, then Linux(the Kernal) is the chassis. Mint (the distro) is the motor, and Cinnamon (the desktop environment) is the fancy interior.

KDE plasma is a fancy interior that works with tons of different motors.

Cinnamon is designed for mint and works best with it.

DISCLAIMER: All of this is analogy and isn’t technically correct in a pedantic sense, but it works well enough for me. I’m sorry if my analogy isn’t exactly accurate.

I still feel like an incredible DLC would be the ability to traverse the new land using the old BOTW toolset. How many of the puzzles would be solvable? Would it be possible to get to the sky islands?

Maybe we could get an alt storyline where link falls into the abyss and we explore as Zelda with the sheikah slate instead.

The top left pic was six months into social transition and three months on HRT already. I have a much more radically different before pic somewhere, but I more wanted to highlight the difference between years 1,2,3, and 4 on HRT and letting my hair grow.

My main advice for new trans folks is this:

1. The hormones will not do everything. You gotta put effort into your wardrobe, your movements, your voice, your accessories, the ways that you sit, eat, etc. My whole life I was putting effort into stopping myself from being too femme because I was being made fun of. I trained myself out of a lot of those natural-feeling movements and had to retrain myself.

2. be healthy! You’re in the right gender now, so take care of yourself! Eat right, brush your teeth, use good shampoo, clean your house and your bedding. These things will make your skin clearer and generally help you feel overall happier. This, too, is part of transition

3. be patient! And be kind to yourself. The changes will not happen instantaneously and there will be days when all you can see is your old self. Learn to forgive yourself for this.

4. get therapy. Helps with point 3 and 2. And there’s usually some other stuff going on behind the scenes mentally. Transition will not solve all your problems, but I can make your problems feel worth solving.

Good luck! You got this! 💪

LMAO! Thanks! 🥰

So pretty! Hell of a change! You look much happier!

Fun fact: I have never actually seen a clip of this with audio, so I always give this guy the Skeletor voice in my head and I just realized he probably doesn’t sound like that.

Scamper the Penguin.

The Feature Films for Families version, cuz I never saw the original Russian one called Lolo

Mint cuz I’m a newbie and it was recommended.

I tried KDE Neon Plasma a while too and it was doing a weird stuttery jitter thing with the mouse that I didn’t like so I switched back.

Mint just hasn’t had any huge frustrating problems or anything wrong with it that I couldn’t fix in the settings menu. Just how I like it.

oh, this is amazing, actually! What an awesome treat on the first!

I wonder, then, if the move is to type your comment, run it through a translator yourself, then post both? I saw that move a lot on Rednote before it added its own translator.

This feels like a top notch streamer game!

They talk about this shit like it’s a video game. I hate it here.

I played Gen 1 as a kid and didn’t play Pokemon again til Black and White. It was an amazing leap to see the first and last pixel animated mainline Pokemon games, and both had their own unique set of 150 Pokemon. It’s like a showcase of how much the series had grown.

Incidentally, it was the last mainline Pokemon game I actually enjoyed.

Yes! Dems have any spine at all challenge (impossible).

Dems are part of the ruling class. Always has been.

Covid Vaccine.

The timeline works, actually.

Gen:Lock season 1 happens, lol
