I’m really struggling with this programming course I’m on, I keep trying to code non-binary.
All the computers at work are binary, you can tell because half of them have little pink bows on and the rest wear baseball caps.
Bit of a stereotype, but non-binary people really struggle with computers. I don’t know why but I just thought I’d let you know. It’s like gingers with sunlight.
A lot of people say computers don’t have souls, like cisgender people—they’re both binary. Please don’t cancel me cis folks; I’m not ready for a Netflix special.
Lot of people think all computers are the same. Not true. Weird thing, I actually bought a non-binary computer the other day… and it’s running fine.
My friend tried to jack into the Matrix the other day. Timely reference I know roll with it—Could not do it. It’s all in binary, 0s and 1s, and let me tell you, they own an antique cuckoo clock and a pair of glittery bowling shoes! So that’s me saying my friend is non-binary but there’s not a lot of established reference points yet.

The issues of police hostility are because they fucking abuse the law and also murder people with impunity. "We're a bunch of fascist jerkoffs" is not that complex
Up in the city looking at apartments and the cute enby I’ve mentioned before invited me to a drag show they were running for their job. It was a lot of fun! It was my first time being around a bunch of queer folk. I wore my getup I had posted here with the addition of a pride bracelet my sister gave me. I felt very naked at first but eventually started to feel cute. They also told me I was very very cute. And they were also super cute. It was our first time actually meeting. We’re not dating or anything yet, but here’s hoping.
Had the follow up at the surgeon's office since getting the boob job. Was good, turns out the cheapie post-op bra I got from target is crap (so surprise) so now I have a couple of proper Marena ones. They're not cheap, but they're a lot cheaper than the surgery and given I'm going to be basically living in them 24/7 for the next 6 weeks or so, totally worth it, so much more comfortable. Also I have a strap over the top to add downward compression, or as I'm going to be telling everyone, because they kept leaping up and attacking passers by.
Ultimately though they're healing well, everything is still really tight and not the most comfortable but I'm down to only sometimes seeing them side on in the mirror and thinking 'oh god what have I done', so that's good. Once they settle in and settle down, things will be much better.
As a follow up, I got an apartment in the city (Rochester, specifically. Not sure why I’ve been coy on that). And I got it in a very heavily queer neighborhood according to the enby I’ve been mentioning (I did see a lot of pride flags when I walked to the showing after spending some time checking out the area beforehand). I had been a bit anxious as I had secured a job there, but was afraid I might not find an apartment before I started.
And the cute enby is excited to introduce me to a lot of their queer friends and such. The drag show the previous night was actually at a gay bar and was to drive funding for an organization supporting queer youths, and I’m real excited to get to know this lovely community. Just really riding that high and hopefully things keep going well!

Definitely not a lot for the US. I was quoted $80-90k for it without insurance. Same procedures through Facial Team in Spain were quoted at ~ $30k without insurance.
Now if I had known that my insurance plan covered the procedures it would have run me probably only the max out of pocket of $5k, but I didn’t find out until I had already reserved my slot overseas and the backlog to get rescheduled for another US consult was months after my scheduled date. So am still working out authorization for some reimbursement of out of pocket expenses rather than delaying things by 18 months. Gotta love my company effing up all of their online insurance materials.
this is the first year i'm legit scared to put out a pride flag

Why do people who aren't male or female have trouble working with computers? Because they're non-binary.

Fl4k in Borderlands 3 is they/them nonbinary( in honor of their designer )
Fl4k is also a robot
The joke has many levels youre fine
Good riddance, pigs.

It's not surprising, of course. More just...depressingly impressive.
(Which also of course ignores that plenty of people still have to hide who they are at work, it's not like it's a solved problem.)
That’s it! That’s the reason.
But they have to be in uniform to be considered on the clock so uhhhhhh it’s copist.

My premium is about 5000. Im hoping I can get the surgeries I want all over the course of a year and with a payment plan so its not as bad
In comparison, three years of braces / orthodontic appointments almost every month was 4k.
