I call it my brain getting deep fried. I tend more towards losing words. One time I did spend five minutes wondering what Stede Bonnets first name was... by asking my friend "What is Stede's first name?" (It's Stede. Which I said in the moment.)

I use it for work moodboards because I'm a designer working with non designers who only use the Google suite. Feels like I'm one of the few people who will actually miss Jamboard. Guess I'll need to make them all learn Figjam.

How can I have Nugget's job?

Seconding tape! I have what’s considered to be a larger chest but mine are not very dense. I’ve noticed that helps me a lot with getting my chest to look right with trans tape. From what I’ve heard/seen online, tape is harder to use if you have denser chest tissue.

The other thing I do in hot weather is wear a moisture wicking under shirt under my binder. It helps a lot with general sweat and making sure things aren’t too swampy under there. I like the Uniqlo Airism shirts, but anything moisture wicking and thin will work great.

I'm transmasc, but I came out as enby at my previous job (a call center). This involved a new name and they/them pronouns. I felt safe doing it after conversations with the department head about trans stuff. I'd definitely try to get a vibe on the general company culture towards trans people before coming out. I'd also definitely try to get a pulse on how supportive your boss will be if there are any issues, especially if you're in a customer facing role.

Pros: all of my coworkers were chill with it, or if they had problems with it they kept it outside of work. I did have to spend a while correcting people on my name/pronouns, but that just comes with the territory. I think it took about two weeks to a month for the name/pronouns situation to settle.

Cons: The job I worked was the type where we had "frequent flyer" customers we'd support. No one was directly transphobic to my face. But a few of these customers would ask to speak to Deadname instead of my actual name... months after the switch. They never did this to my face. They always somehow managed to remember my name when talking to me. But when they got any of my coworkers on the line, they magically only remembered my deadname. The co-workers on my team were fantastic about forcing the customers to actually use my name. I talked to my boss about this, but unfortunately there really wasn't much we could do besides correcting them. The last incident of this was about six months after the name change. Not a problem I have anymore because I got laid off in the tech layoffs lmao.

Yeah for instance bottom surgery discussions usually get tagged NSFW in a lot of places because that's inherent to the subject matter.

There's now !ftm@blahaj.zone :)

You win ~~reddit~~ Lemmy.

Unfortunately not out of the woods yet. Wedding is next week 😞

This week has been A Lot since I’m putting on my last family performance in girl mode helping prep for my sister’s wedding. Which would already be a lot without the gender shit lmao. But I’m seeing Spiderverse again this weekend so it balances out :)

I wanted to make an infographic for my graphic design portfolio about Blahaj, so I wanted to find some sort of statistics to use? Not really sure what I thought I would find. Maybe how many are sold in a year or something?? Never did make that infographic lol

Weirdly I found Lemmy (as in this instance) through the Blahaj.zone Clackey... which I found by googling "Blahaj statistics". I haven't interacted with the main Lemmy instance. Enjoying the vibes here :)
