Looks like when I put 32s on my road bike from before the tire clearance revolution. I had to deflate them all the way to get them between the rim brakes.

I’m so glad I built a fun gravel cruiser. 650x47 is such a nice ride.

That sounds so beautiful

Wow my wonderful night last night is lingering into the day, I feel balanced and at peace in a way I haven’t in a while.

Thank you

Spitting more than straight facts. Spitting bi facts.

Yeah but it’s the anti-genocide college students they tell us to worry about smdh

I’m so glad the good feels kept going, you deserve it!

Hell yeah me too comrade!

Yay I’m glad!

I was just reflecting on the day I came out to myself as a trans woman and I feel all the emotions flooding back to me and now I’m sitting here in bed bawling the happiest tears I’ve cried in a long time. This feels like pure trans joy and catharsis.

He popped up on my feed a little while ago because apparently now he makes Elon Musk hate videos about how his businesses are gonna fail.

Ofc I wrote this immediately before reading BelieveRevolt’s comment

I would quiet quit.

“LOSERS! South Africa should be for Africans first!”

I don’t think he’s worse than most chuds by any means but Linus Sebastian (Linus Tech Tips founder and to my knowledge owner) annoys the fuck out of me. Not because of his voice or clickbait-ass thumbnails that he sometimes pretends are the only criticisms he gets, but because he genuinely seems like a tyrant who gets a pass on so much bullshit by having good charisma for tech bro standards. And I say this as someone who was charitable to him for way too long because I was young and impressionable and liked LTT videos. Actually I think that is why I bring him up over some far, far worse youtubers.

Is that a real thing?

For anyone reading this who needs to hear it, it’s very possible to become addicted to anything that causes you to experience a dopamine high. That’s kinda the point of dopamine as I understand it: it makes you want to do something again. If your relationship with that activity becomes dysfunctional, you could very easily find that your desire to engage with it has become a need to engage with it without you even noticing the shift until you try to stop. The chuddy framing of a “gooner epidemic” where the blame for it is shifted to sex workers and sexual liberation is wrong. From my perspective, there seems to be an epidemic of untreated addiction in general where I am driven by the slow collapse of civil society in the imperial core. So please don’t avoid facing and seeking help if you need it for harmful addictions just because the subject of your addiction is usually perfectly healthy in moderation.

Edit: for some topical comic relief

I’ve heard it is by the same mechanism that shrinks us estrogen enjoyers: joints shortening slightly. It’s only a little bit of change to the connective tissue, however there are so many joints that contribute to our height that it can all add up to quite a bit. When youre T dominant instead of E, it reverses and the connective tissues swell slightly.

I’ve lost about a centimeter so far, though in my case I think it might also be posture.

Also if you’re you’re in your early 20s I’ve heard you might still get a little extra growth since your skeleton might not be entirely finished growing yet.

I was lucky enough to be in contact with an actual human in HR when I applied to my current job so I was able to explain that my name and gender don’t match my government name and gender. But idk if I’d tell them that if I didn’t even know if I had a good chance at the job so I’m kinda on the side of just give them gov info until I actually get a chance to talk with someone.

Woohoo hamster mega!
