I feel like hair volume and fun styles, plus a lot of late 90s early 00s clothing is coming back in style right now! I'm having fun wearing it this time around.

Probably not something you can affect, but my biggest issue with trans care is just access to it through insurance. Free clinics and out of pocket payments make it doable, but around me, the offices specializing in trans care don't cover insurances except the few largest.

I've tried to use different types of corn flour, but it's never quite right. The nixtamilization process dramatically changes the texture of the resulting masa. Fresh masa is even better, and can be made yourself if you're up for a project day.

I agree that flour tortillas may be your best bet if you can't find maseca. A wine or round liquor bottle with the label removed makes a great impromptu rolling pin.

I'm also interested in this for using stremio from phones and PCs. Chromecast in particular also kinda sucks due to limited codec support.

Yeah same, except it was later overturned where I live and they came right back. Luckily, at lesser numbers, because more of us were used to bringing our own by then.

The majority of my friends leaving Austin have done so because of state politics. It's hard to feel safe when you're queer in Texas.

Just wanted to add that event digitizing older records these days is better. Some hospitals do make old scanned notes indexed and searchable through OCR now.

It's a bit delayed to be responding to this comment, but I wanted to in case op is still hanging around this thread.

  1. He doesn't necessarily need to be worried about 'looking different'. A lot of trans people, and trans men in particular, completely pass. Testosterone is strong as hell. People just always stick with their 'we can always tell' talking points, because when they see passing trans people, they don't assume they're trans.

  2. The phrasing behind your second point is kind just of a rehash of a common anti lgbtq sentiment. The problem is, at least anecdotally for myself, that the people who would harass you consider that to be anything showing you're in some form queer or showing any pride in who you are. It's essentially a demand that people entirely hide part of them if they want to to be treated with respect.

Maybe this is the rumored aero stall when drs is on? It seems like there's still some massive aero efficiency differences when the flap opens.

A nice npr segment where they talked about mattress store because there are a bafflingly large number of them.

I absolutely do love all the things you named. I feel like in both chocolate and coffee that the milk rounds out flavors to be nice and smooth, but you lose some of detail. Sometimes they both go too far and end up in a sour or bitter mess, but I really enjoy the tastes on the edge of being too far.

Hot showers are just luxury. Put some lotion on after and your skin will be fine.
