On this Halloween I have discovered that I love drawing my Lamb in a suit, the crown into a snake tie, and Narinder into a full on dress with a glittery veil.
I basically drew my Lamb as Gomez Adams and Narinder as Morticia Adams. I’m obsessed.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO EVERYONE!! It started out pretty gloomy for me but with this, the literal TSUNAMI OF BOOPS, and all of the trick or treaters in my inbox, this is the first Halloween that I actually ENJOYED.
So thank you!!! Hope everyone had a good Halloween!!

I went on a work trip recently and was able to see one four stars when I looked up. Four of them. One of them is currently the brightest fucking star other than the sun. I couldn’t even see Polaris.
Anything you don’t stop to appreciate has no value and is safe for corporations to mess up. Anything. The Lorax isn’t really fiction anymore. So stop and take a moment to decide what free things you value as priceless. Anything can become a corporate commodity
Apparently this tiktok was deleted hours after I saved it.
[Video ID: A Tiktok that several users have added onto, each making a different joke about gender.
Person 1: They say “No pronouns? Damn… another victim of gender identity theft.” They start cracking up on the last word.
Person 2: They start off smirking while they appear to think about what to say. Then, they look at the camera imitate a spam call voice, saying, “We have been trying to contact you about your gender’s extended warranty.”
Person 3: They come in through a doorway and yell, “It’s my gender identity, and I need it now!” The camera angle shifts to indicate they’re a different person, and they say, “Tired of not having a gender identity? J.G. Wentworth can help. Call J. G. Wentworth; 877-pro-nouns. They’re your pronouns, use them when you need em’!”
Person 4: They imitate the kind of voice you hear on legal ads and say, “Attention: If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Gender, you may be entitled to financial compensation.”
Person 5: Starting off strong and dissolving into fits of laughter as they speak, they say, “-and now a word from our sponsor: Raid Shadow Genders; conquer all of the genders" End ID]
you know that post that’s like “if thinking naruto would be proud of you for brushing your teeth gets you to brush your teeth go for it” well today i texted my friends and asked them to pretend to be wizards sending me on a grand quest to eat lunch and buy hand soap and it worked so well i put a load of laundry in and did the dishes too so. i don’t know what the lesson is here but maybe give that a try
I am once again expressing my frustration at fashion guides and fashion in general that is marketed at trans women
And ho boy the problem is not gonna be what a lot of people think its gonna be
Anyways the clothing I got back in September, when I was first reentering lab after socially transitioning, might need some updates, so I’m remeasuring myself and getting myself back into the world of clothing. I’ll probably do a bit of shopping once my finances are a bit more stable again.
So I’m not gonna brag or anything. But here’s some of my approximate measurements, rounded to nearest whole inch/cm:
Waist: 34 in (86 cm)
Hip: 44 in (112 cm)
Waist:hip: ~0.75 (what I ballpark it as considering that my waist measurement fluctuates)
Overbust: 42 in
Underbust: 36in.
So.
Y'know what’s special or abnormal about these measurements, that I need to account for as a trans woman? Which one of these is atypical?
The answer is: absolutely goddamn none of them. This is pretty cleanly a woman’s size 10 or XL (on average, every brand varies). A large size I guess, but not an abnormal one. These are measurements that are completely viable for a cis woman.
Every single fucking fashion guide or times I try to find clothes with trans women in mind, they don’t mean “trans woman that has been affected by HRT extensively”. They usually just flat out mean crossdresser, or pre-HRT woman. EVERYTHING is about hiding your shoulders, “artificially” flaring your hips instead of showing them, and over cinching your waist.
So why do I even care? Why am I even looking at those fashion guides, or trying to find particular brands that trans women have had success with?
Well, for one goddamn reason. My height, and by extension, my inseam. 70 inches tall with a 33 inch inseam. So much women’s clothing is so much more comfortable around my waist and hips than mens clothing, and has nice, proper, snug, flattering fits…. and then completely falls short on my ankles.
I’m having a hard time trusting any brand that has a size chart that doesn’t include height or inseam. Which, as it turns out, is actually a lot of them for mid-tier brands, it seems. Either the standard numerical sizing, or just s/m/l/xl.
Ugh. Annoying as fuck. Hopefully it shouldn’t affect a cute midi dress that much- if I manage to afford it, I might get myself a cute, somewhat casual dress for the holidays.
I’m like 43-34-45, but I’m 6’ tall; I basically exclusively wear crop tops and shorts when I’m girl-moding, because if everything’s gonna be too short on me, I may as well wear something that’s supposed to be short anyways.
Sweat the onion and the apple or pear in the butter on medium heat for a few minutes. Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Add the salt, pepper, dill, and garlic powder and mix until all ingredients are coated.
Add the beer, water, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium low and low boil covered with the lid ajar or vented for 30-40 minutes to boil off most of the alcohol, stirring occasionally.
Add in the oats and can of potato and simmer for another 10 minutes to cook the oats and heat up the potato. Skim the scum off top. Turn off the heat and mix in the milk and melt in the cheese. Top with a little more shredded cheese and crackers if you like.
I came up with this after I decided to experiment with cooking with beer. I tried a couple of different versions and this is the best one I think. I liked it so much I thought I’d share it. The apples add a subtle sweetness I really like and apples and pears are good in soup in general.
You can use whatever cut of chicken you have available but I find that the fattiness of the thigh is really good in something this dense.
OP where tf do you get a CAN of potato instead of potato-potato
The grocery store, usually.
Yeah okay no I get that but i am wondering who came up with the idea of canning potatoes and why anyone would get a can over a potato
I hate peeling potatoes. If peeling potatoes is one of your personal life’s joys I won’t judge you for it but I don’t like doing it
Who peels potatoes??
With all due respect I’m starting to believe that you’re a troll of some sort or perhaps some other flavor of internet trickster. Either that or you are of of the 10,000 people today being introduced to the concept of peeled potatoes.
very big fan of when shows put wigs on actors and say ‘yeah. That’s him when he was younger fuck you’. No anti aging ai, no teen actor hired. Just. The same guy with a fuckass wig
I am once again BEGGING people to turn timestamps on and pay attention to them.
Helpful Tip: Turn timestamps on. And if you see a post about a contentious topic that was made more than six months ago with reblogs turned off and notice that no one has left a reply in months. Please don’t then go through and respond to a dozen or more of said old replies, potentially restarting like ten different arguments OP is going to have to deal with clogging up their notes.
This has happened to me like three times now and I wanna say the whole “don’t worry about how old a post is just interact liking and reblogging old posts isn’t taboo here” thing does not apply to old discourse posts where it’s clear this is no longer a place of honor and everyone would prefer to move on. You don’t need to restart years old arguments. Please just make your own post or something. Please.
This thing has one of the most even reblog to like ratios I’ve seen in a while, I assume I am not the only person who’s had to deal with this.
I hope my good friend “Weird Al” Yankovic can help me figure out what items I can purchase at the nearby hardware store that recently opened near my house!
