Message me and let me know what you were wanting to learn about me here and I'll consider putting it in my bio.

  • no, I'm not named after the character in The Witcher, I've never played
  • pronouns: she/her

I definitely feel like I'm more of like a dumpling than a woman at this point in my life.

  • Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?

    Jump

  • right, but OP is 3k away, so 6k round trip just for the grocery store ... is that typical?

  • Lore vs Gameplay

  • right, but when comparing my chances of economic survival, somewhere like Prague seems even more likely to work than Denmark just from a job market competition perspective, and Prague seems equally "idgaf" in attitude towards trans people (not that this kind of tolerance is the same as acceptance, non-discrimination, or integration)

  • yes, permanent employment that allows you to stay in the country is a must. As a trans person in the US, it's been difficult to know whether to give up my career and whole life for basically constant instability and risk living as an immigrant in another country, especially when trans rights are getting stripped everywhere else too. Getting trans healthcare in Europe is not always such a breeze even for citizens.

    Still, I appreciate your optimism and willingness to see the possibilities- that's important to know.

  • Sure, but finding a job and housing in most of the places I listed is quite challenging, often even for citizens of those countries, but especially immigrants.

  • Honestly lots of Western Europe, but personally: Iceland, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, etc.

    Objectively places like Spain, Portugal, Malta, etc. would work.

    I have no delusions of ever making it as an immigrant in any of these countries. You need a lot of money.

  • What's it like to have a dream?

    Jump

  • It's like getting absorbed into a memory, but the memory gets all jumbled and weird (but you don't notice the weirdness, it's "normal").

  • How did you fuck up recently?

    Jump

  • I think that's why some of them smell like cherry coke - though I've never noticed a garden millipede smell that way.

  • how did I miss this, was this part of the original Charlie the Unicorn?

    just wow, thank you for sharing this

  • How did you fuck up recently?

  • the nurse probably has access to body wipes you could use; alternatively, you could see if they have some antimicrobial soap like hibiclens, washing armpits with those (like in a bathroom) works like a lasting deodorant I've heard

  • How did you fuck up recently?

    Jump

  • I stepped on a garden millipede by accident 😭

  • My daughter says it's unfair our boy Mr.Pouce wasn't "famous on the internet". She's right. He was the nicest, classiest cat of the city. May he rest in peace.

    Jump

  • if there has ever been a purpose of the internet, it is to make cats famous

  • correct, see for example the reactions to the US's decision to invade and seize territory from Mexico, which was largely seen as a betrayal of liberal values that the country was supposedly founded on. Don't worry, the US isn't the only country to justify their revolution with promises of liberal ideals like freedom and equality only to expose their true priorities later (namely giving local colonial elites more power than those ruling monarchs in Europe). I recommend reading the chapter on Bolivarian revolutions from the history book Born in Blood and Fire: A Concise History of Latin America for more about the disappointments and failures of liberal revolutions to live up to their promises.
