Like, spooky scary?

Howdy might be tough to get more activity on, unless it’s purpose expands or it becomes a rule to post there upon making an account (which people should do anyway, it’s fun).

One idea I had is to make it a space for “introductions and updates” basically a place to introduce yourself OR toot your own horn and brag about something cool you did or whatever. A space to talk about yourself.

For some reason, my brain went to DIY HRT when you said that, btw.

Why not encourage DIY HRT posts? Would be perfect for talking about recipes and such. If they try to restrict HRT, would be cool to lay (more of) the ground work for underground networks that make the stuff.

/c/creepy also has a ton of potential in my opinion. Could expand to cover horror in various media as well as stuff like true crime, occult, paranormal, etc.

So DIY is one I’d love to see more active. Howdy is one I mod and it was always bound to to be less active, given it’s role as a place for introductions, but I’d like to brainstorm a way to pick it up a bit.

What about trans shark girls?

I know sublinguals are also a thing and with this in mind, would something like candies you suck on or dissolve in your mouth work? Imagine taking pop rocks laced with E.

There are many different comms on Hexbear, and many different ways to shitpost and have fun.

I often think about dead comms and how to revive them. Anyone have ideas on this? We could use more variety anyways.

Fuck it, let’s just spike the water supply (with a supply of untainted water for our transmasc bros)

Starting a new life in a new place and it’s going better than expected. Kindly issue is that I’m scared something will happen to sabotage it, like it’s too good to be true, or something I don’t really deserve. I guess there’s not much else I can do besides try to stop catastrophizing and make the best of it while I can.

Anyways, I know it’s been a stressful time for everyone with the elections and the struggle sessions on the site haven’t helped much. How’s everyone holding up?

Also on the topic of the election outcome, we had a good discussion in tracha (which you should all join btw, link in sidebar) about options for trans people in the US wanting to leave. I believe Canada lets in USians for up to 6 months with just a birth certificate and photo ID, which could be useful.

Anyone else have any good knowledge or strategies they might want to share for queer people who feel under threat?

Because it’s a trans version of the DDR (East Germany) flag, and the title is a play on the official name, Deutsche Demokratische Republik.

You are unironically one of the coolest people on the entire fediverse. Thank you for being awesome.

I feel like this site has improved SO MUCH for the better since the early days. I wonder what her thoughts about it are after seeing it for the first time in a good while…

Same here 😣

I’m happy to spoiler if needed, but what would be the reason in this case? I apologize but I don’t really understand.

Ishtar/Inanna has owl feet and is associated with owls. Hexbear is obsessed with owls and @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net is basically our patron saint. Coincidence? I think not.

So if we had a patron deity for trans people, who would it be? My vote would be for Inanna/Ishtar, but I’m curious as to what you all think.

Afaik regarding Sony vs Nintendo thing, one of the major draws of CDs was the relatively low cost to produce vs cartridges, which meant bigger profit margins for PS1 than in N64. This is also I think why a lot of PS1 games were $50 while N64 games could go for upwards of $80. Ease of development and available storage space (much more for CDs at the time) were also pretty important

Came across this while searching for something else and just wanted to say CONGRATS!!! and check in on how everything is going. I had the same realization back in June of this year and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to transition so far.
