Bsky now let's you upload your own GIFs so I am making it your problem because making GIFs is fun for me.

Here, we have a happy, blepping, dancing SUHO from his SU:HOMME performance this past January.

#Inktober2025 #Inktober Days 12 & 13: shredded & drink

Practicing vocabulary and writing in Mandarin and Hangeul

Mandarin stroke order got me AGAIN! 😅 I thought the 3rd box for "drink" was top left, bottom left, inside, right corners. Nope! It was top left, right corners, inside, bottom left. 🥴

Weekly planner for Sunday and Monday, Inktober 2025 days 12 (shredded) and 13 (drink) with both words written multiple times on both Hangeul and Mandarin.

"Jill, what's it like being an EXO kpop fan these days?"

This Insta post pretty much sums it up.

Instagram post by briel1485

Disney+ promo photo of Doh Kyungsoo for the upcoming kdrama "The Manipulated." He is a villain in all black outfit, face palely lit in his hq.

Doh Kyungsoo is also known as "D.O." for the kpop group EXO.

Text on photo says, "Me trying to find clues in Sehun's bubble photo if we can see the reflection of another member in the soup that he's eating."

Sehun is another member of EXO. Bubble is a fan chat service that allows stars to chat with fans.

A 4-panel comic. My husband is on a plane to San Francisco. As he finally steps into his hotel room and empties his bag, he finds the Kinder Critter, the toy we'd been alternating hiding around our apartment.

A final week's worth of diary comics are up on my patreon! patreon.com/mgillman
And for anybody with a trifoliate orange growing in their hedge: 1:4 ratio of juice to water (this'll use up a lot of fruit), sweetened with honey to taste, and optionally with a small pinch of salt if you're into that

A three panel black and white comic titled "10/11/25 -- Residency Work Sharing". Panel 1: Mel addresses a crowd, pointing at a jar in the back of the room. Mel says "Before I read my comics -- I made citrus-ale with trifoliate oranges, Bunny Mellon's "bitter" ornamentals, which now are growing invasively in the woods." Panel 2: Mel continues, "While drinking it, we can think about how most edible wild plants were at some point shaped by indigenous agricultural science somewhere. So even "ornamentals" can have good uses, if we learn to meet them where they are." Panel 3, labeled "Afterward" -- a man in a baseball cap tells Mel "I liked it! It tastes like Tang."

My first 3 years of T were on gel and it was great! I've switched to injections now because I'm fine with needles, but when I was starting out, gel was way more approachable and less scary for sure!

Oh Joy Sex Toy @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social · 1d

@jpawlik.com didn't get on HRT because they didn't like needles. But when they learned about T-GEL that's absorbed through the skin, they got their T-party started!
www.ohjoysextoy.com/to-a-t-gel-j...

To A T-Gel Comic by Jey Pawlik, done in cool minty green tones with heavy blacks and black linework. Jey is a nonbinary person who uses they/them pronouns, has big rectangular glasses, short cropped hair with a few greys. They wear simple clothes like graphic tees and jeans throughout the comic.

Narration: I hemmed and hawed about going on HRT* for so long in my 20s.

A younger Jey ponders and says “Maybe I could try it? A bit more facial hair and a lower voice sounds real nice.

Note: Hormone replacement therapy

Narration: At the time, the only option that was available to me was injections at a full dose.
A needle is shown front and center.

Narration: I chickened out.

Jey sprint away telling themself “Nope! I don’t think T is for me actually!!”

Narration: Years later, I watched a friend transition using T-GEL.
Jey’s friend, who’s look has been changed for privacy, says “I’m starting T but it’s not injections—and it’s been pretty great!” we see Jey’s friend’s transition from pre-T to years on T with a full beard.

Jey looks excited and says “OH! I didn’t know that was even an option, and you look so happy! Maybe—maybe I could go on T after all!

Narration: I went through a lot of hoops to get there but eventually an endocrinologist prescribed me a dose of T-Gel that I was comfortable with as a nonbinary person.

A timeline of Jey in doctors offices, filling out mountains of paperwork, being put on long waitlists, until finally their endo says “Okay, I’ve sent your prescription off.” And Jey lifts their arms up in success “YAY!”

Narration: T-Gel is a form of topical testosterone. It can come in packets, tubes, or a pump bottle that you apply according to your prescription.

Tubes, packets and the common pump bottle of T-Gel are drawn.

Jey has their hands on their hips looking defensive as speech bubbles fill the entire background behind them, berating T-Gel and saying it’s hard to use or isn’t as good as injections. Jey says “I think it’s really amazing but I’ve also seen it get a bad rap."

A pink ribbon unfurls across the bottom of the page, reading "Read the rest on ohjoysextoy.com"

Was It my second bout of covid or turning 44 and perimenopause? Either way, words and phrases I knew immediately before are now fuzzy. 😅

Night of the Libby Dead ☠️ @captainlibatron.bsky.social · 1d

No one in perimenopause would meet it tbh even with english as first language

Jack Saundrs @jacksaundrs.bsky.social · 1d

Basically noone who learnt a second language as an adult would meet this standard
