I simply don't like eggs. I might have to get over that. Seems like a super food.
Why is good yogurt so fucking expensive? |

Simply put the reason is because it is imported from the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salmans' own personal sperm bank. Thus why every country is selling weapons to the Saudis - we just can't get of enough of that sweet yo'girt. |

well no, depends where you buy costco's "greek" yogurt is pretty great price and the #2 container is recyclable everywhere. (or is it #1.. i forget. same difference) if you have an instapot you could make your own but it's a pain in the ass not worth your time unless you po' (you ain't). actually, simple yogurt is very fucking easy. the straining of "greek" is the messy part. but uff... you still have to scald the milk... tldr... eggs are GREAT! i buy mine from a local farm. holy shit such beautiful yellow yolks and rich thick whites. such glory if you have no taste for them, start by buying good ones and see. go to your local hippy or farmer's market. then learn to cook them. it's a great project to learn how to cook eggs. like, ONE THING, know what i mean? i like them fried spanish style with crispy whites around. i like them scrambled, with heavy cream in them. i like them as a frittata, with sweet potato and spinach. i like them in a spanish tortilla (jugosa para mí). i like an egg salad (im not peewee hermann). i like a soft boil. look, there are 2 things that are dreadful in the egg universe: 1) raw whites. like when you ask for sunny side up and they come runny like a booger. 2) overboiled yolks. that's the hardboiled that comes with a gray crust around it. that's too far gone. start with something simple like a good scramble. but do it with good eggs. egg is one thing where i don't mind stepping out of walmart and paying hippy prices. the quality improvement is well worth the few dollars. here try this version. it's unusual for american style scrambled eggs but very low-risk and good https://youtu.be/PUP7U5vTMM0?t=68 |

20-30% of the population reacts poorly to dairy. one must know one's guts. cheese, aged hard cheese specifically, is hyper nutritious, if your body can handle the proteins. as far as bananas, they are great food, but not for someone trying to lose weight or to stave off diabetes. (or as Mac in Always Sunny says, "Stage 2 adult-onset die-a-bettis?") |
Saw my school photo. On the one hand, my skin isn't as discoloured as the photoshop was last year. On the other hand, I've got a stupid grimace and I want to die.
I wish I looked better in photos :( |
First day of work selfie!

![]() This is the first time in my entire life that I caught myself in the mirror and actually liked what I saw. I felt cute and I saw something that might actually... look cute? I didn't know that was a thing that could happen. I can actually look into a mirror now. I don't mind people seeing me now. I felt like an actual person for the first time in my life. I cried good feelings. Then I cried a lot more because I realized exactly how bad my body dysphoria has been all my life. Up until this moment I was not able to look at mirrors or see my body when I looked down because all I saw was head to toe the ugliest most disgusting thing I ever saw. Every inch of my body, arms, shoulders, hands, especially the you know where. I couldn't stand being seen by other people. I realized the real reason I have been abstinent for 14 years wasn't because I was afraid of a relatioinship, but because I didn't want anyone to see my body. Now being able to accept myself fully actually looks like it's on the horizon. I have my first consultation with my reassignment doctor on the 14th. I found out insurance might be able to cover the pre-surgical procedure which up until now I was told would be out of pocket and thousands of dollars, which is seemingly impossible. Insurance might even be able to pay for vocal chord surgery, one of my biggest points of dysphoria. I might actually be able to feel like a real human being. I might actually be able to feel like I am living, and not stuck in a surreal nightmare. It sounds pretty good. |

this was an extremely moving read. this plus your other post were some of the best stuff i’ve read in this board in years. thanks for all you’re sharing. it’s tremendously illuminating. must spread more real human being spread |
Godspeed, d.sound. This does sound like an enormous emotional breakthrough, as well as a physical one of course. Wish you all the best with the path that lies ahead of you. And kudos for being so open and blunt. It takes a great amount of courage to allow yourself to show vulnerability in the public discourse. Thanks for sharing.

I couldn't agree more to what the two above me said. I'm in the process of writing you a long long reply, with my story. I've been in a transition phase myself, but work related. I got very rudely offtracked. Which got me derailed for the last three years and in the end forced me last month to leave the company where I worked since 2001. And due to the separation agreement I signed I can't speak about it publicly. So I'll drop you a PM. Your two posts helped me a lot, about the decision which direction I want to take and I think I can help you by telling my story. And I want to assure you that you will have my full support.
I already told you about that Belgian news reporter, and it was very moving to see how happy and relieved she was when she held her first interview, just after transition. And how accepted she was by her family (wife and two kids), her colleagues and the audience. These interviews were on Dutch TV on the most watched daily talkshow, on the 7PM slot. There are some fragments on youtube, on which you can enable the auto translation. Translation still sucks, but at least you can understand what they are talking about if you read between the lines. Even if you don't understand anything, look at her expression: 1. introduction to first interview after transition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIg7DoPpl8U 2. interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUIOZxITpdQ 3. interview one year later for book promotion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CECgafsR7A In the description of this vids there are links to the complete interview, but probably it can not be watched abroad and there will be no auto-translation. So expect a PM in a short or little longer while (I'm very bad with getting my thoughts on paper). If anyone (of the regulars) else wants to join, let me know. |
ah, thanks so much everyone! i am touched by your being touched! i feel encouraged. i feel ambitious for the first time in my life.
