    I&#39;m done with VSCode, I&#39;ve switched to Gram for my personal coding stuff.

    I found this article linked on a Reddit thread and it resonated with me and my experience with gender. https://medium.com/@kemenatan/gender-desire-vs-gender-identity-a334cb4eeec5

    I think I stopped CPA too early when I switched to injections because I already have signs of my T levels returning. I&#39;ve decided to resume taking it for a few weeks at least. The thought of testosterone coming back has me very anxious.

    The first Weaver Network bus stop I&#39;ve spotted. It&#39;s weird to see green themed bus stops in West Yorkshire when Metro bus stops are traditionally red. #WeaverNetwork

    I&#39;ve been feeling terribly depressed for the last few days. Probably some of that is due to my levels being out of whack since switching from pills + CPA to injection monotherapy. It might take a while to stabilise. But I&#39;ve also been struggling with work and 4 hours of commuting for 4 days a week, it&#39;s been running me down gradually for a while and I feel completely exhausted all the time. I&#39;ve decided to take some sick leave to try to recover.

    I have this weird fascination with LS-120 SuperDisk drives. I really wanted one back in the day but never had one. Always remember seeing it in the boot options in the BIOS.

    Injection #2 done. I had the same problem with bubbles forming when I drew the liquid. Maybe I need to pull on the syringe slower. This time I kept the needle in the vial and was able to remove them by waiting for the bubbles to pop and then squirting the air back in a few times. I also drew more liquid than I was going to inject so I could remove any remaining air after I removed the needle from the vial.

    Someone asked for my pronouns today and after a deer-in-headlights moment I he/him&#39;ed myself and now I feel a bit crap about it.

    I figured Friday morning was actually a good time for my injection day, so I have now done my first injection! The first time I drew the liquid in to the syringe I ended up with a big air bubble and not enough liquid after I ejected the air, so I had to reinsert it into the vial. Probably not recommended but I&#39;ll try not to make that mistake next time. I didn&#39;t feel the needle much although it took more pressure than I expected to break the skin. I put it straight in at a 90 degree ang...

    My vial from Hera HRT has arrived! Total time from ordering to delivery was 21 days. Now I need to psyche myself up to do my first injection. I will probably wait until Saturday morning. 💉

    YouTube app on Android has a new annoying bug, when you lock the screen for background play and the video finishes and then unlock the screen, the video starts playing again from the start.

    When I was a kid I constantly replayed the Elite Four battles in Pokémon Blue to level up all my main Pokémon up to level 100.

    My partner and I will most likely be adopting a ~2-3 year old springer spaniel bitch this weekend. She had been used for breeding and had 2 litters before she was rescued. Her current owners have had her for 12 weeks but were looking to rehome her since they already had 3 dogs.

    So with a 10ml EEn vial with a concentration of 40mg/ml and a dose of 4mg (0.1ml) you have 100 doses, right? If you take that every 7 days that&#39;s 700 days or nearly 2 years. Maybe you won&#39;t be able to use it all so we could round that down to 1.5 years. I ended up ordering 3 vials in total (2 initially, then another one from somewhere else when I got impatient). That&#39;s 4.5 years worth but I think it might expire before then.

    This is your reminder to take your estrogen!

    My estradiol level is way too high! My latest blood test results really scared me. I need to reduce my dosing (currently 6mg/day sublingual). My estradiol level came out at 1989 pmol/L (541 pg/ml) at trough (nearly 9 hours after taking a tablet). I&#39;ve no idea how my levels ended up so high. My T levels were also a bit higher than last time (1.57 nmol/L).

    I wondered where everyone had gone, did I miss a meeting or something? Then I realised later at 1pm I had forgotten about lunch time. I can be so dozy sometimes.

    As someone who pretty much wore only jeans most of the time up until recently, I just hate wearing jeans and trousers now. Thankfully the hot weather has given me the opportunity to wear shorts. I just hate how I still look so manly in them because I have no fat redistribution around my hips and bum yet and also I just don&#39;t like how they make my legs feel. I saw a crossdresser (not trans) on Reddit who did a lot of glute workouts and looked amazingly fem in jeans, but I don&#39;t have the b...

    I find myself wanting some kind of feed algorithm on Mastodon because my feed is already way too busy to keep up with.
