I had everything figured out when I started HRT. I knew at what point my mediocre health insurance would pay for part of various procedures. I could put pins in different points on the timeline and tell myself, "ok, once I'm here, I should be comfortable with x, y, and z and out in these spheres of my life". Things like that.

Now I'm coming up on 6 months in and there are days when I just feel like I'm gonna go insane. Like, how did I ever think I was going to stay not-out to most of the world for a year of this? When I'm at home and I can girlmode a bit, things are OK, but holy shit boymode at work and in the hyper-male atmosphere in some of my hobbies is just killing me. Mirrors get progressively worse. My patience seems almost nonexistent. I start daydreaming of just ripping my face off, or researching shoulder width reductions.

Obviously I wasn't ready for any of this. Did other folks run into this? How do you stay afloat?

Still blows my mind that alcohol is so culturally normalized. And that's as a light drinker myself. The amount of damage it causes is so disproportionate to how it's handled and advertised.

About to start running a Savage Worlds campaign. I've always been homebrew-focused and when I wanted to run a medium-fantasy/Old West setting with gunplay, it was pretty obvious 5e wasn't going to fit. Plus noxious WotC crap with OGL and their handling of MtG has me pretty put off by their whole lineup lately.

Yep - happened as soon as racism became a policy cornerstone and the rest of the part just shrugged and got in line.

Imagine if they'd ever properly released Fallout 76 as SP or local co-op. Pivoting franchises into multiplayer/always-online that don't benefit from it is such a petty, obvious cash grab

as a Kings fan I'm kind of glad I didn't watch that. Hate to sound sour, just couldn't do it.

A truly historic moment

Do we have any clue where Roy is planning to go? Don't know how many teams are after new front office staff still.
