Hot Hot Hot.  (not me, the weather hahaha). I haven't worn this top in almost 7 months. I forgot how much I like it.  Broke out some big hoops too.  I realized when I got to work why I haven't worn them in a while....what a pain in the ass with masks that go over your ears.  

@MaddeeI love that top you're wearing.  You look great!

@Linda Marieas always- pure class.

 

I'm with all of you on the whole "fitting in". I like to wear nicer clothes and show a little style but not trying to shock anyone with who I am.

I agree with that wholeheartedly .

Can you stand out, and fit in, at the same time?

Maddee, I think the answer is a resounding yes!  I always try to stand out while fitting in.  I think the tactic will be different for everyone, but the end result is the same.  I fit in by dressing and behaving appropriately, but I try to stand out by showcasing my femininity.  I tend to go for dressier outfits with feminine flair.

Today I'm wearing a nice flower print dress. I really wanted to take pictures outside in our garden but weather

is not cooperating.

Love the dress @Linda Marie

I made a tie dye t-shirt last night so had to wear that and some NYDJ shorts I found at the thrift store (what a deal, normally $70 new for $5!).   More importantly but not visible, I went to Victoria Secrets to see if there was a solution to a natural fitting bra for 38A.  They said that size isn't made by anyone really for off the rack BUT, 36 B is the same size cup which is made and you just put a hook extender to get the width so I now have a VS push up bra that actually fits!!!

It only has a little padding so it feels like it's mostly me and not "fake".

Had to go get some blood drawn today.  It's an hour drive up there.  But they also have a goodwill outlet store up there.  That's where you buy stuff and pay by the pound.  A lot of my stuff has come from there.

Got this skirt today.

A year ago (or more) I was in the habit of going into town on Saturdays to just hang out maybe have a beer, etc.  Now I've had my shots, and things are starting to open up a little here in NC, so I made it into town today.

Stopped at the bookstore and picked up a book. A little embarrassed, I told the lady I had developed a taste for trashy romance novels.  Turned out she was an enthusiast also - heh heh. 

Then I went uptown and stopped in at one of my old haunts and had a couple beers.  

It was really nice to be getting back in circulation.  Man I missed it.

A fan of romance novels too.

Used to read pirate based stories where the girl falls in love with the dreaded pirate. Cowboy/old west based ones as well a Victorian era.

Half Price books is where I used all that stuff even dated a guy that I met there.

Guilty. Though I prefer them with a little adventure. And lesbians. Love me some well-written lesbian romance novels.

 

Hugs!

I recently read "Written in the Stars" by Alexandria Bellefleur. Loved it. I'm starting to think the only reason I never used to be into romance stories is because so many of them involve a guy as half of the couple!

Actually, I've had it for years.  I was just afraid to let anyone know.   I was pretty transphobic in those days.

I can deal with that, but it's really not my favorite. They don't even have to be explicit. Just a nod to actual romance and maybe alluding to, "Yes, this couple has sex but you don't need to see it," and I'm fine.

 

Hugs!

Hi folks,

 

I've been out of the loop again for a while. Picked up a new skirt and top which I wore today. Forgive the beard, but I take a break from shaving on my days off and I haven't had the opportunity to start electrolysis yet.

 

Pictures also taken at different times of the day. ?

Had lunch with my wife and in-laws. My wife insisted I dress more masculine for the occasion. I chose this outfit and she was happy with it. I was still able to wear some makeup and carried my purse.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.
    • Heather Shay
      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.
