Hi Everyone! I'm planning on adding stuff here but first enjoy your new weekly mega <3

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Relatives have been checking up on me concerned due to the anti-gsrm proclamations of late. Due to where I live and what I interact with I'm a bit more worried about the end of birthright citizenship and wanton deportations without giving AF if who they pick up isn't Latin@ or is a US citizen, they're all going to the same place. So many Born in East LA but unfunny horror stories already happen irl and no one gaf. When I was younger I thought of emigrating out to MX to be yet another digital expat, or maybe to continue on to an advanced degree, I'm so old and broke now idk how realistic that is. I do have some savings, but not enough to start in another country lvl. My spoken Spanish is horrific and there's no one to practice with around here.
I'm the mood for storytime, when my mom worked in agriculture when younger immigration did a sweep and picked up a few Oklahomans along with the rest, they were seriously so power tripping they were thinking about deporting them until some other official had them calm the fuck down. When people think Murikkkan its usually a bit of a southerner, so no one is safe from what's coming
. She also had a series of stories about a nice undocumented Canadian she worked with, eventually he ended up getting caught in a sweep.
HRT I have a decent stockpile not just from fearing the eventual scapegoating, but my constant insurance cuts, which I'm facing again. T is a lot more forgiving storage wise and time wise than one would guess off
, real people to listen to are body builders, no damn joke. If I had a question its them or my endo. Anyway, for injections I've found vet supplies to be cheaper than Amazon when they have sales.
I'm at the point in my transition like many where I can't go back in the closet, I never really cis-passed very well, so this was always going to happen regardless of what the fools want.
CW bathroom violence story when I was younger
spoiler
So I have PCOS and always had the blessing of facial hair, then some generic appearance things like I have a very masc face.When I was in late middle school or early high school, mom had just some legal trouble and I was at the nearest Walmart and had to use the bathroom. Some old lady accused me of being a boy-man in the bathroom and began to fight me off with her heavy ass purse and have a flip out about it. Other women in the bathroom ignored her or sat around like bumps on a log. I immediately told grandma about it who was like 'oh well, it happens, just don't tell your mom'.

Sometimes I take herbal supplements to help out melatonin or my actual sleep med. One I use and also cook with is mugwort. Mugwort's nice in cakes and dumplings and has a unique herbal flavor, I also find it a bit of a lucid dream cheating-tier aid. I was chatting with a chatbot trying to see what it could pop out about mugwort's various properties and more recipes, and I get to read its actually purposely used to regulate/cause periods. Oops. I usually take or eat it when I'm at my most stressed. I feel sort of silly, I can probably replace it with fenugeek or something flavor wise. I seriously wonder if that's been a decent contributor to my current issues all this time. I never thought of mentioning it to my doctors since food isn't exactly medicine.I imagine there's gonna be more than one Chicano who is gonna be swept up in deportations, yknow they were in the west and Cali and Texas and then America decided it'll take that now and bam now you're gonna get deported 150 years later cause your great great great grandparents didn't leave.

Fuckin bathroom cops, fuck offmugwort
In more traditional medicine, mugwort can help circulation issues and yeah apparently can help regulate menstruation if someone's got an irregular or, uh, chunky one lolIf you want something herbal but helps with sleep, valerian is pretty good. But it does have quite an interesting flavor (to put it nicely). And of course lavender is supposed to help out, they put that in everything sleepy time - and lavender has a good flavor too!
