(YES we know the photo is blurry, we originally took it as a test but decided it was too pretty not to share)
even though our hip bones should have fused a long time ago they feel like they are getting wider with HRT? some clothing outright has a hard time fitting over them. or maybe its just placebo somehow. strange, but cool!

so, as you maybe can tell (if you can't thats totally ok), this is a fairly sad camera battery. zero volts. nothing.
initially we were thinking that we'd get a new battery for the camera, but then decided we'd shove five volts into it (a 3.7 volt battery) just for the lols—it happens that five volts is the voltage you get from a USB plug!
above is the setup. the white wire is a chopped up USB charging cable on which the original connector broke. and, we are getting a sweet 5.22 volts. now to see what happens!
that's a decent voltage drop, but its not horrifying. taking the leads off and measuring the battery voltage now reveals that...
the battery actually has a healthy voltage??? okay. fine. but surely with this battery being of the age of consent, the voltage will drop way too much under load to–
oh. wowee. this idea was supposed to be a joke but it actually did something useful instead of blowing up the battery. to be clear the battery life is dreadful but it works!
y'know what, we are going somewhere tomorrow. we'll try and get some photos with this thing! maybe with a clean lens that actually focuses properly too :3
sweet dreams dear readers xoxo
slayy!!! love that pic
hip bones on average fuse around your 21/23th of your biological age*. It can individually vary a bit, and after fusing they can still widen by a few cm! i also experienced hip pain after starting hrt and shifting to higher doses so yay
fun fact about pelvic widening
There's a transfem gal that simulated pregnancy hormone levels and although she didn't rec it, she did note some permanent changes like widened pelvis and larger boobs, as well lactation.* As in, how much your body has aged, not how old you are in terms of orbits around the sun.
