Haii everybody!

I’m leaving tomorrow to serve in the army, so I’ll be losing a lot of my own free time. I’m not going to be able to be that active here, so I thought I’d share a nice temporary farewell gift (a selfie. I’m that self-absorbed) :3

(I didn’t realize taking pictures of myself could be this fun, this genuinely boosted my self-esteem and was gender-affirming)

Update:

Shit’s been wack as fuck. My being isn’t fit in many ways for the typical army experience. My days have been filled with anxiety, dread and sore feet.

On the flipside I’ve been inspired by how many men here are genuinely into this whole experience and executing it with great motivation. It has once again made me appreciate my own strenghts and weaknesses in relation to other people as well as the other way around.

That’s why I applied for a special job here: simulator support. Totally normal IT work relating to the shooting and general army simulators we have here for training. Exactly what I love to and want to do already. No crawling in the mud, no 50km marches in full gear, no standing guard at 4am. It’s still genuinely important work, but more independent and clean work than what most people here want.

And today I got to know that I’ve been accepted in! Turns out that instead of having suffer for months here, I’ll get to enjoy my time, learn something I actaually hold value to, and bring more to the table, as most of my strongest skills don’t lie on the battlefield.

Had I not gotten in, I would’ve switched over to civil service. I know my limits and even five more months of this would’ve been too much for me.

Stuff like this always fills me with so much joy, and I truly wish that everybody can find their strengths and interests and actually get to utilize them in meaningful ways.

Now I just have my fingers crossed so that my future coworkers aren’t as toxically masculine as most people here :3

my distaste towards loud crowded areas and preference towards quite dark areas proves my need to be gagged and blindfolded

TIL female gladiators or “gladiatrices” existed in ancient Rome, but were rare because it was considered unwomanly. One gladiatrix of note was a woman who fought wild boars with a spear while topless, and who would squat to urinate in front of a stunned crowd.

being in your early 20s is crazy bc there’s people who are literally married and people who’ve never even dated and people who are trapped in their childhood bedrooms waiting to get out and people who are trying to live out romanticized dream lives and people who are completely on their own and people with multi tiered support systems and we’re all supposedly peers and none of us think we’re doing it right at all
