RSD is an absolute kick in the gut. I haven’t heard from someone I chat to on a daily basis for two days. Unusual. Yes, I’ve messaged. No reply.
My default state when this happens is that you no longer want to talk to me. No matter how I talk to myself about how life is life and maybe they are ill

Timely thread from Jay because I’m about to head to the gp to find out WTF is going on with my body (which has been on HRT for almost 3 years and might be “symptomatic” again).
Kids, it’s not hard. Gender affirming care saves lives. All lives that need it.

Thread from Jay. Important stuff. Happy Anniversary @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social - glad you’re safe.
Three weeks ago I marked nine years on Testosterone.
I didn't celebrate it then because I was in the middle of a multi-month battle to be allowed to stay on it, despite not producing my own hormones and simply wanting to remain on the exact prescription I'd had for nine years without any problems.

Tonight’s edition of sleepless on the isle is brought to you by itchy legs and snoring through CPAP. (Not me.)
Got up. Sorted laundry baskets and picked up odd trash. Knit two rows.
This SUCKS. I am so tired.

4am sucks.
0545 sucks too, and worse if you’ve been awake since 4am.
Sleepless on the Isle is here again.
How long does magnesium take to be effective again?!

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Sometimes being the only one of your friends awake really, REALLY sucks.
I don’t sleep well and at the moment, I’m having very restless nights and getting up early to avoid the weird dreams. But as much as i enjoy the “before” in my home, I don’t always enjoy the one in my mind. It’s lonely.

It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Today was a bit hard, actually.
Frustrating, mostly, but defeating. I’m tired and I have things to do. Weary.

I’m seeing friends tomorrow I haven’t seen in a couple years. It’s making realise that life just feels hard all the time. And it has for years.
I don’t really know what to do with that. I don’t mean it’s all bad - it isn’t. But just that hard seems to be all there is. Ease seems to be short.

I want my country back … from those who profit as public transport is run into the ground , those who get rewards for putting shit in the sea, those financiers and bankers who will destabilise a country for a quick buck, basically everyone Farage will stand up for if he wins an election
