Dr. Blåhaj has got her nose stuck in a book, and can be heard quietly muttering that some people yearn for the cuddles.

Uptight Dad, who are an Dublin trans-masc punk band, have put out their first release.

It's been well over a decade since I last tried making this, and it was a success.
Shortbread implies the existence of longbread.
My first guitar performance was tonight and, despite mistakes due to only starting guitar about 2 months ago, the audience loved my folk-ish cover of Millionaire Cannibal, with much laughing and singing along.
The original band are thus far not baying for my blood, based on comments of "SO COOL".
I think this is an extremely normal set of references to have in an abstract you're submitting to a trans healthcare conference.
Today I purchased an electric bass guitar.
A month ago I bought an acoustic guitar.
4 months before that I bought a ukulele.
At this rate my house will experience convergence of instrumentality in 10 days by hosting a full string section, with the rest of the orchestra soon following.
Did some quick baking today.
I was at a gig last night where there was a 1.5 hour delay in starting due to a leak in the generator's fuel pipe.
For some reason they rejected my offer of an estrogen patch to patch the leak.
And were perplexed by the idea of keeping spare estrogen patches in my wallet.
Am I very tired after yesterday's 13h round-trip to Belfast to go to a gig? Yes.
Was it worth it? Also yes.

This evening I watched the Puppygirl movie in a cinema which was almost entirely trans people.
It was hilarious. but also unsettling. Watch it with (trans) friends if you have a chance.

I spent the afternoon watching Castration Movie part 2.
I enjoyed it more than part 1, however there's no way I ever want to try explaining it to someone who isn't a trans woman.
It was certainly an experience, and one to watch with a group.
Ever wondered about cypro, but couldn't be bothered reading literature with names like "Toward a Lowest Effective Dose of Cyproterone Acetate in Trans Women"?
Well I've got the ukulele song for you!

@dec23k@mastodon.ie It was mostly hand wringing about whether Lola was transphobic.
I can however confirm that the Survival Horror gig last night was a banger.

@dec23k@mastodon.ie I was at that one, I felt the sound was better at the previous Fibbers gig. Gotta love that sax.

@InTheseHeels@mastodon.ie The only time I've had a chest x-ray I did have to take off my bra as it contained metal. I wasn't given a gown or anything, it was just remove my top in the little room they did the x-ray scan in.
My last head CT scan I was asked if I was wearing any metal, and I don't recall the bits of metal in my pants being an issue.

@AoifeGreenhamIllustrations@mastodon.ie My main meds are on my kitchen counter, I take the morning ones before breakfast. I leave out pills for around lunch&dinner time and I'll take those up to an hour before my "proper" dosing time to avoid sometimes taking them hours late. For my late at night the Pill Reminder phone app reminds me silently, as I may not be in the kitchen around then. Topicals are kept in my bedroom, and after my post-morning shower ones I'll put the before-bed ones on the windowsill.
