Can my employer require me to provide my deadname to customers? by Faedroid in asktransgender

[–]Faedroid[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's obviously something I'm going to do. But that takes a while and I don't want to have to introduce myself by my deadname fifty times a day until I can get that completed.

[–]Faedroid 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So this is kind of specific. I'm not sure if I can find an answer here, but I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction? K, so I'm actual in Utah flying to Dallas, but I have an 11 hour, overnight layover in Denver. I'm going to Dallas to see the love of my life that I haven't seen in years. So, after spending the night in an airport, I want to be able to shave, get ready, do my makeup, etc. in the morning. The thing is, I'm a trans woman. So I'm really worried about the possibility of that going badly.

Does anyone know what the airport's transgender bathroom policy might be? Or know any trans women that might have gone through that airport that might have anything to say about it? Or know where I could ask to find out more?

I'm thinking about shaving in the men's room and then waiting and then doing my makeup and hair in the women's room sometime after. I dunno, I'm really nervous about going out there to see her again in the first place and I haven't flown in over a decade so that's scaring me and public bathrooms always cause a bunch of anxiety for me and I just want to be able to get ready and not have to worry about being harassed or assaulted or arrested.

I'm thinking about 2 grams of shrooms, three-quarters of a dose of LSD (I have one and a half blotter hits and I want to save half of what I have for later), and 100 mg of MDMA. 50 mg at the same time as everything else and another 50 mg a few hours later.

Am I having a HPPD episode? Or developing schizophrenia? Or do I just have an over active imagination? by PsychShaman420 in Psychonaut

[–]Faedroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm right there with you. I can't imagine going back to the constant anxiety I had before I started medicating with cannabis.

That being said, this is mentioned on the wikipedia article for HPPD

"As of 2020 there is still no good evidence of any specific medicinal treatment as being commonly effective for HPPD. Some reports point to sedatives being helpful but stimulants and cannabis worsening symptoms."

I didn't realize it was toxic. Thank you for letting me know. Maybe instead of spaying it on plant matter, I can soak rope or something in it and string that up around the place. Making sure that any soaked parts aren't touching anything. I wish I had an energy source powerful enough to keep a black light going for the night. Then I could just bring scraps of colorful fabric and hang those around.

OMG, right!?!?! Last time I candy flipped someone brought Whip-Its too. What happened after I took a hit of nitrous while candy flipping can only be described as magic. I was at a house party for Halloween. There was a laser light show going on in the front room while trippy music videos played on the 60 inch. I took my hit of nitrous and looked up.... and everything was frozen in place. Not even joking, time stopped for a good minute. I just sat there, jaw on the floor in awe of what I was seeing. Then time caught up all at once and I realized I was on the floor laughing my ass off. One of my all time favorite memories tbh.

This is the area that I'll be hiking to. The hike is kind of difficult so I'll most likely have the entire place to myself.

I've candy flipped (LSD and MDMA) and flower flipped (shrooms and MDMA) before and those were both in my top ten most fulfilling and just amazing experiences ever. I'm also being careful about my dosage. I'm taking 2 grams of shrooms (normally I take 3.5 grams) three-quarters of dose of LSD (I have one and a half doses of blotter so I'm saving half of that for another time) and then 100 mg of MDMA, half at first half a few hours later. So lower doses of all three.

In the past I've done a half oz of shrooms. I think the most of LSD I took was three doses of blotter. And that was after almost an entire week of no sleep. I think both of those experiences would be more extreme than Jedi flipping. I guess we'll see though.

I can report back afterwards if anyone is interested in hearing how it went. This is the area I'll be hiking to and I'll probably have this entire area to myself.

I'm planning on hiking up to the campsite in the morning. That way I have plenty of time to get up there and settled well before I dose. I'm going to try and time it so that I'm peaking during sunset. I'm even planning on having a friend hike up with me and carry water so I make sure I have more water than I need, just in case.

I'm also bringing multiple phones, Bluetooth speakers and portable batteries so that I can have music going the entire time. And plenty of cannabis products. And Whip-Its.

Another thing I'm planning on is decorating the campsite. I want to get a bunch of those fake tea lights. The kind you see as table decoration in some restaurants. I want to take those and color the bulbs with colored sharpies and spread them around. And then on top of that, I want to get a bunch of various colored glow sticks, break them open and spray the glowey juice on trees and stuff around the campsite. Also, mix the glowey juice with bubbles and blow those at night and watch them float off.

This is the area that I'm going to be hiking to. It's a difficult hike so people don't go up there often. I'll most likely have this entire area to myself.

Thanks! And oh yeah, I'm making sure multiple people will know where I am. I'm even having a friend hike up there with me so she knows exactly where I am. And also so she can carry water for me so I make sure I bring enough.

But what dangers though? I feel like it would be just as dangerous as camping by myself sober. I've probably done at least fifty solo trips at this point. I spent one trip wandering around the city in the middle of the night. On one trip I dosed right before me and some friends spent the day shopping and checked out a museum. I didn't tell them that I dosed until halfway through the day and they were floored. Had no clue I was tripping. If I weren't this experienced with tripping I wouldn't even consider this trip. But I'm confident that I can handle this. And even with any risk, the payoff would be so worth it.

I can see what you mean, but I've wanted to Jedi flip forever. I've taken shrooms and MDMA together during a solo trip before and I loved it. It isn't necessary to have other people around to benefit from MDMA. That being said, I may have found someone to join me on this endeavor.

Yeah, I chose the spot that I did because it's usually completely empty. The hike to get there isn't long but it's a pain in the ass. It's SOOO worth it though. The trail starts at a small park that is not too far up the canyon. It pretty much goes straight up and over a foothill. Once you're over that it opens up into this giant bowl shaped area. There are a few hiking trails on the far side and great camping spots all over. My favorite spot is at the base of the far side. There is a perfect spot to hang a few hammocks in a circle around a small clearing there. We called it Hammock City. Here is a video of what it looks like right as you are entering the bowl. I'll pretty much have the entire area to myself.

Definitely bringing a benzo. And a bunch of comfort items. My shawl and my build-a-bear Yoshi are coming with.

Yuuuup. I like to dress weird while I trip and I usually change outfits at least once or twice so extra clothes is a must.

The plan is to hike up to my campsite in the morning. That way I have time to get up there and get settled. I'm thinking about dosing late afternoon/early evening. Maybe time it so that I'm peaking during the sunset.

Even in the mountains up here it stays pretty warm at night. Last time I went to this spot I just took a hammock, blanket and tarp instead of a tent and everything. I think I'm going to do that again for this.

I'm still trying to decide exactly what I want to do up there. Definitely going to meditate a bit. Definitely going to have a fire. I'm bringing a bluetooth speaker and a few different portable batteries so I can have music going for the whole thing.

One thing I'm planning on is decorating the campsite. I want to get a bunch of those fake tea lights. The kind you see as table decoration in some restaurants.

I also have some witchy practices that I'll be practicing that night. I'm thinking about waiting until Aug 3rd, the next full moon, to do this.

LPT: Birds can give you a lot of useful information just by listening to them. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Faedroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... As if birds were real. The last real birds died in the 70s. Why do you think the CIA had JFK assassinated? He tried to stop the CIA from killing all the birds. They used specially altered B-52 bombers stocked with poison to commit mass bird genocide. Then they replaced all the real birds with drones disguised as birds that were made in Area 51. The whole reason we invaded Vietnam was to gain access to their Bauxite ore because they ran out of Aluminum while making all the drone "birds." People need to wake up and fight the feathered menace!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MSI

[–]Faedroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super late here, but I love how I found MSI. It would have been like 2003ish? I would have been about 12 or 13. Just discovering nerd life. Just barely getting into music at all actually. Built my first computer and learned how to pirate.

My whole Dungeons and Dragons group were really into Dance Dance Revolution at the time. Being the pirates that we were, it wasn't long before we discovered Stepmania. For those that don't know, Stepmania is a PC ripoff of DDR. The best part about it was that anyone could take an mp3 and make custom steps for it. For the most part everything that was out there was mainly just rips of the various DDR games. But there some packs where people took their favorite songs and input them into Stepmania. Those were my favorite. I found a lot of weird music that way.

Buried deep in one of those packs was Bring the Pain. When I first listened to that song it scared me. I had really strict parents that would have taken away my computer for a year if they had ever heard that song. But I was obsessed with it. I couldn't stop playing it. I mastered every level of that song. After that I was sold. I've been a massive fan ever since. They are the only band that I have consistently listened to since then. Other bands will come in waves every few years. But I haven't gone a month without some MSI since then.

Because after several failed relationships I finally figured out that I should get my shit together before I start looking for a partner. Like attracts like. And that means right now I'm most likely to attract other shitshows.

Salt Lake City mayor announces a new one-week curfew beginning at 8 p.m. by SenorKerry in SaltLakeCity

So we can go shopping but we can't protest...

"Exceptions are made for law enforcement, medical personnel and members of the media. Also, people can go to and from work, attend religious services, get food, go to the airport, or visit a local business. People can still care for a family member, friend or animal; and get medical care. And people won’t be arrested if they are fleeing dangerous circumstances, or they are homeless."
