8 years ago today, I voluntarily had my breasts sliced off. The worst, most evil thing I have ever done. I remember my grandmother called me crying the night before begging me not to go through with it. She asked me, “has your heart turned to stone?” It had. I did it anyway. I do not share my story to try to evade responsibility or blame others. I did it. Dr. Alison Shore just held the knife. I was encouraged by peers and professionals, but at the end of the day, it’s my fault. I am the reason why my breasts are gone forever. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
I’m 5 weeks post breast reconstruction, but I still won’t be able to feed any future babies. And as I get used to these new “breasts,” I remember how my original ones felt. It’s not the same at all. Let my story be a cautionary tale to all trans-identified people. All of you are potential future detransitioner, and while there is life after detransition, dealing with the irreversible consequences is nothing short of devastating. It’s been 8 years and I still curse my past self for making this horrible, selfish, downright stupid decision.
@trawlerhorse@imjustbrighton_ It's a big dogfish! I thought they only grew to 3-4 feet. That looks to be at the upper end of that scale, possibly bigger. Just googled them to check and seems they can grow to a tad over 5 feet though. I think you're right with what it is though.
4.15pm. Indoors. Back door open. Front door open. All windows open. Curtains drawn. Fan on.
Been WFH all day wearing just a pair of swimming trunks.
Feeling sorry for all the teachers I know working in classrooms with 30+ students, no air-con and windows that hardly open 😢
Ukrainian figure skater Kyrylo Marsak on facing Russia's 'neutral' Petr Gumennik at the 2026 Winter Olympics:
"All the buildings that had meaning in my life, especially in Kherson, they are destroyed! The skating rink is destroyed to pieces and my apartment is also the bomb came like one floor under!
Even under 'neutral' status they should not be allowed. Most of them are supporting this war secretly and there is even proof but IOC was not paying attention to it unfortunately.
How you can say that the sport is out of the politics? They are representing their country, they're representing their flag. That is directly the politics."
Summer Olympics: Who can swim the fastest? Who can run the fastest? Who has the best somersault?
Winter Olympics: WHO CAN MAKE IT TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ICE SLIDE OF DEATH?? CAN THIS GIRL DO 8 FLIPS OFF THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN WITHOUT DYING??
The situation in Kherson is still a crisis. There’s almost no coverage about it. Drones are still slaughtering civilians on an hourly basis. @ZarinaZabrisky wrote about the horror she witnessed. Read & share 👇

@sophielouisecc@ThatAlexWoman How are bills £350/month? Living alone paying council tax (£140), elec/gas (£85, water (£50), TV licence (£15), broadband (£25), mobile (£15) I'm below that - all coming out of my own salary.
@jackunheard Really? Most people I know who drive large thirsty cars don't give a toss about the climate or claim it's all a hoax. I'll bet most - not all - people that own or use private jets have a similar outlook.
