Dang! I wish I had big boobs, but the boob fairy wasn't kind. Since starting HRT, I went from having barely an A cup before HRT to a C cup now. 52C to be exact, though I'm long overdue for a remeasuring and a refitting.

Hey, Pride Radio Network users: Wires-X is down again, but it won't be for long. I lost my phone charger, so I'm having to borrow the power supply from the YSF-Wires-X bridge to charge my phone. Wires-X will be back online once my phone is done charging. Sorry about that!

I can't, she's my neighbor and I rely very heavily on her for a lot of things.

(7/7) It sucks being disabled and unable to work. It sucks not having an education or resources or the means to escape this hellhole and move somewhere safer. It sucks being neurodivergent, with mental and physical health issues piling on top. Right now, it feels like life just… sucks.

(6/7) Sometimes it feels like everyone would rather I go back to being the broken person I once was than accept the real me. It makes me wonder if I have to retreat back into the closet just to survive in this world.

It’s exhausting. It sucks being trans. It sucks living in poverty.

(5/7) My feminine side — my true self — began to shine through, and for the first time, I felt like I was living authentically. Life as a woman has been beautiful for me.

But my true self has been rejected — by my mom, by my dad when he was alive, by society, and by my government.

(4/7) Before I transitioned, my life was miserable. I was angry, full of hate, and prone to violent outbursts. I was failing as a person. But since transitioning, I’ve become someone better. I’m happier. My anger and hate are gone. People don’t see me as an “asshole” anymore.

(3/7) and it’s like they’re poisoning her mind against me.

All of this — the hostility from my family, my society, and my government — is wearing me down. It’s even making me doubt myself. I catch myself wondering: am I living a lie, or am I just being crushed under the weight of stress?

(2/7) Our conversations about my transition always spiral into arguments, full of misinformation about biology, “God creating only two genders,” and how what I’m doing is “unnatural.” She’s been surrounding herself with people who spread these toxic ideas,

🧵(1/7) Things feel unbearable right now. My country is becoming increasingly hostile toward the trans community, and it feels like the walls are closing in. On top of that, my mom — who’s grown more and more transphobic — keeps pressuring me to detransition because she “misses her son.”

Well, darn! I'm losing access to my gender affirming care. The people in charge of the clinic in Tucson has stopped all telemedicine, which is what I rely on because I live several hours away in Yuma. Does anyone know of any gender affirming care clinic in or near the Yuma, AZ area? #lgbtq #trans

(2/2) The original issue was that the repeater would accept input from any CTCSS tone, including no tone at all. The only fix was to use a different radio for receive.

Kimberly Chase @kimberlymcblaze.bsky.social · 29d

(1/2) I found a temporary solution to my repeater issue by swapping the receive radio to a Baofeng UV-5R. The transmit radio still uses the Kenwood TK-840. The other TK-840 is set aside as a spare. The repeater works now, but with less-than-ideal receive hardware.

New song released: "Flamin’ Platypus Jetpack Symphony". I was feeling lazy with this one and I decided to just let AI do everything. This one has hilarious and nonsensical lyrics. I used ChatGPT and Suno to make this one. Hope you enjoy it :)

Welcome to the bright side! We're glad you're finally away from the hellhole that is Xhitter (pronounced "shitter"). Things there have gotten terrible since the Elongated Muskrat takeover, so I hang out on Bluesky and Mastodon (plus other 3rd-party Mastodon-compatible networks) instead.

Attention Pride Radio Network users: Sorry this update took so long, life is busy. Anyhow, the PC that handles the Wires-X node is toast. Wires-X will remain offline until further notice. I can't afford a replacement PC for it. If anyone wants to help, please let me know.

(3/3) It's gonna take time for me to, for lack of a better way to put it, get over it. In the meantime, I'm just gonna remain a ghost within their group and lurk in the shadows, not to be seen or heard, until I can move past this whole thing.

Kimberly Chase @kimberlymcblaze.bsky.social · Sep 10

(2/3) It feels like there is an angry mob waiting to ambush me. It's crazy how 1 person, just 1, could turn everything upside down for you. I am still quite upset and angry that this happened, and I still have some anger towards the individual I had the conflict with.
