I got some hormone prescription change recently. Feels pretty good.

Oscillating between hopeless resignation and enjoying living in the moment. It's exhausting.

Out drinking with friends, some guy we met at the bar was fawning over me. Admittedly he was a bit drunk but still, I couldn't quite believe it. I guess this is a thing that's going to happen from now on.

Why can't there be more lesbians where I live :/

Yo, this is a bit fucked up of an assumption of negativity one should not lead out with. It is as if saying, you should be thinking about self harm. Like, I get the intent overall, but you don't walk up to a stranger and say something like this, so you shouldn't act any different here. Treat digital neighbors the same as any other in public commons. Think of it like what you would say to someone in a grocery store, market, waiting in line, or school lunch room. Just here saying, hey, I care about y'all, neighbors. Positivity is a state of mind, but a big part if that is who and how you surround yourself. Default positive in the small things everywhere you can manage.

Is this a bot, or do you manually post the exact same thing every week?

Also I agree with the other commenter on the self harm comment being a bit unprompted.

As for how my week has been, great! I'm on holiday with family.

I too missed the bot symbol on Xenia's name. But, bot or not, the manager's perspective has been shared, and we react accordingly.

Edit: Perhaps only Voyager shows the symbol

Jerboa also shows the symbol.
