[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I guess I'll keep trying to get out of the house, despite my anxiety about that now. That way, the folks in my community will be able to say they personally know (of) at least one trans person, which will hopefully inspire them to oppose any anti-trans policies that come up.

I also want to be a role model for all the eggs out there who might otherwise be too scared to come out.

Can you or anyone else tell me what "blue MAGA" is?

Edit: It sounds like the term means centrist/center-right Democrats who want to uphold the status quo. How is that "MAGA" of any flavor? I thought the MAGA movement was just a bunch of Christofascists.

Can Trump pardon himself even though he did criminal stuff outside of office? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

I don't think so.

But if it's like any other norm-breaking violation we've seen him make, he will do it anyway, there will be legal challenges, they will ultimately be fruitless, he will suffer no consequences, and everyone will go along with it.

I once wrote an essay about how dropping two nukes was excessive, but one was maybe okay :)

Real talk, these are the things I was taught in those young impressionable years. It's fucked up. And I'll bet plenty of my old classmates are still fucked up.

I spent my econ class learning about how tourism is good for the economies of resort towns, and watching travel shows about those resort towns :)

Savor these headlines now. We probably won't see any more like them for a long time.

Have you gazed into an abyss long enough to have the abyss gaze back into you, without becoming endlessly lost in said abyss? Congrats, you're now team lead on the abyss project.

Does hair in food carry any health risks? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Say I go to a restaurant and find a hair in my food. Are there any actual health risks?

Does it make a difference if I:

  • Find it in the dish, remove it, and keep eating
  • Take a bite, find it in my mouth, and remove it
  • Ingest it

This was inspired by a recent news story about a certain authoritarian butthole cosplaying as a food service worker. I did try to look it up (er, search it up?), but the top hits were lengthy meandering articles, or totally off-topic stuff like foods to prevent hair loss. So naturally I gave up and opted to consult the hive mind instead.

Would you stop donating to a free service if it started putting up paywalls? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I've been donating to the news site Vox for a while now, and all their content has so far been free. I felt kinda bad about blocking the ads on their site and fast-forwarding through all the ad breaks in their podcasts. So in the spirit of actually supporting something I like, I started chipping in a few bucks a month.

But recently, they've started putting some of their articles behind a paywall. Since I was already donating, I automatically have access. But for some reason, I feel like I don't wanna pay anymore. It's not like it costs me more, but there's just something about dontating to a free site vs paying for exclusive content that doesn't feel the same. Maybe cuz I'm not a fan of paywalls in general, so I don't want to support companies that implement them.

Does that make sense? What would you do? And if you're not a fan of Vox, maybe think of some other free service/content, like videos from a streamer or a software project or something.

Nausea on HRT? (MtF) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I'm a trans woman, and I've been experiencing pretty annoying levels of nausea recently -- like, daily, for a few months. It's not too disruptive, but I get hungry really sporadically, and I spend the rest of the time feeling vaguely queasy. I'm wondering if it's at all related to the drug cocktail I'm on.

I've been on HRT for about 2 years now. I take estradiol (4 mg/day orally) and spironolactone (100 mg/day). I get my hormone levels checked regularly at a clinic. The spiro used to be 50 mg/day, but I had to up the dose after my testosterone levels started creeping back up several months ago.

The T uptick seemingly coincided with when I started taking bupropion for depression. My T levels are back in range, and I've since switched out the bupropion for lamotrigine (a mood stabilizer). But now I have all this nausea.

Despite what I've described, my HRT prescriber and my psychiatrist both insist that this drug combination shouldn't be causing nausea, nor the jump in T levels. So, it's a mystery, and quite a frustrating one. I feel like I'm a big bag of pills that's been shaken up until it's good and dizzy.

Not sure if anyone can relate to this -- how many depressed trans women are there out there, anyway? But if you have any advice, I'm all ears.
