In my state they “just” decided to train the regular 988 operators to better respond to LGBTQ+ people in need

god I’m in the same damn boat. a week and a half in and I’m already like. fuck I need to get on that. but also ✨ doubts ✨

oh god yes the chiseled jawline… mine reminds me of Chad (the meme character)

thanks for the encouragement 🙏

I’m always cautious when it comes to AI. Like you said it follows a lot of stereotypes and such, and I noticed it messed with my eye shapes in the picture a little bit. It’s why I’ll never trust the “AI/AR try on” features in clothes shopping, either (also it defeats half the point of trying it on, which is seeing how it feels to wear).

I feel like I could be a lot prettier, or not. It’s a complete mystery until it happens…

update: I played with it some more and oh my god is it even possible I could be this pretty someday??? I want to post it but then I’d be showing my face 😞

edit: I also don’t look like my mom OR my ex this way!!

Overkill tbh

oh that’s exactly what I did… every word of it…

yeah… I can’t really get outside of my house so um having that as an option would be great… (I’m not yet brave enough to look up what it’s like to do that in my state)

I think part of it is that people just moved right back to the red site, just as they were counting on us doing. I never did, and now I feel kinda left in the dust for it, since that’s where these wonderful communities are.

I’m glad there’s at least something here for me. I just wish I were creative or funny enough to contribute :(

this is a privately-owned space on the internet, not a hall of Congress. “Freedom of speech” literally does not exist here.

There are also some “opinions” which simply should not be tolerated; see the Paradox of Tolerance.

god I’m gonna be stuck living here for another few years, at least… cause I need to finish (community) college before I can get a “good paying job” that might, possibly, pay enough to survive off of…

funny thing is i’ve been into programming since I was like 6 or so? and um uh fuck here I am

I had it long before and got it cut cause it was too girly (“it looked like my mom’s hair” was the reason I told everyone), but um jokes on me cause now I wanna grow it back out…
