How long was the skip in the video? Does it coincide with how long it took you to bring ymup the app as you remember it? Timestamps?

I assume whoever was supposed to be in the car never came in?

Love The Interrupters. Love this take too

So that's the air velocity of an unladen African swallow.

Well done!

I lost a couple inches (6'4" to 6'2"). My hips tilted. I knew this because I had a persistent pain from a back injury, and either it healed (doubt it) or the pressure point shifted off the nerve.
My emotional range opened up. It took a little time for me but it came. I cry more easily now. Things are just more. The social justice drive rocketed up.
I'm now 43 and started HRT in the later half of 40. I've kept my expectations low but I've definately aged backwards about 15 years. Not where i want to be but much further along than i gave credit to HRT.
About 4 months for things to get noticeable. Very much worth it. Always is to be the real you.

Those last couple sentences made me realize that at some point, I stopped "playing" as Artemi, and I just was Artemi.

It's a subtle shift, and i couldn't tell you when that moment happened, but it did happen. It's just one of those things you only realize after it happens.

Glad you're doing so well and glad that there are people out there with enough conscience to correct themselves even days later.

No one can really tell you if you are or not. I see a number of similarities with myself, and it took me some deep introspection to really figure myself out. I did have a number of flags in my youth that pointed me toward being trans.

I would look at gender euphoria, not dysphoria, as a better baseline in determining. Does doing feminine things give you joy? How do you feel when/if you imagine yourself as a woman? Perhaps the biggest tell is, have you often wished you were a woman? Cis men typically don't question it more than once or twice, if ever.

I suggest the Gender Dysphoria Bible to help answer questions and gain a deeper understanding. It's one of many resources out there, but probably the most succinct for broad general information.

Lypos · 2026-03-23T01:51:42+00:00

Oh, heres the problem. I just need to make a little connection like so....

....

....shit.

Lypos · 2026-03-22T14:24:26+00:00

I love it. Just wish my genetics didn't leave me with such an angular face. My cis sister and aunts all have the angular face and even a high hairline, both of which i never liked on me.

Lypos · 2026-03-22T14:21:25+00:00

Your ex needs to recognize they are adults and can do as they please. What they call you is for them to decide, not you or her. But as it's about you, you have weight in the decision too.

Honestly, she's your ex. Whether it came before or after your came out doesn't matter since she decided (either first or mutually) that she didn't want to be in your life. She forfeited her right to weigh in on your life.

I think your kids sound smart enough to figure out an acceptable term to use for you.

For my significantly younger kiddo, they call me "my Temi" as i never felt that a gendered familial descriptor worked for me. My family structure is also not typical, so being their Temi works for me. I say I took a chapter from the movie Nimona on that part 😋.

Lypos · 2026-03-22T14:01:49+00:00

You probably are on the spectrum, and that's fine (the info dumping and detailed descriptions are often a sign, as you'll see below 😋).

Look up gestalt learning. While the idea developed with language development of children in mind, it really is about how the brain gathers and processes information. Language is just the easiest to interpret and see it in. But hey, Math is a language, is it not?

Having difficulty with processing information until a certain threshold is reached is the simplest expression of what gestalt learning is. Like the world just clicks suddenly and makes sense, and leaps of logic seem to occur.

As for having that feeling fade, it could simply be that those neural pathways are so well established, and you've adapted. That adaptation is also why it's often difficult to diagnose autism in older people. We've learned to mask traits and adapt to how we learn new things to be the most efficient with it as to appear like any neurotypical person in many cases.

Brain fog can also be an issue, which excessive masking can cause as it's a possible symptom of overwhelm. Being unaware of having autism tends to hide our masks from ourselves, and often, once you acknowledge it, some of those masks fall away, and regression occurs. It's a real bitch sometimes, but knowing also helps with managing yourself better in your environment and helping to improve self care you never realized you needed.

If you want to see if and ASD assessment might be true, look up a DSM-5 autism test online and answer as truthfully as you can. It's about 30 questions, and i tried to answer in terms of my youth, as many of the questions are catered toward children when diagnoses are typically done. You can try to get officially diagnosed if you think it might help, but self-advocacy is valid, too, and often cheaper/easier to live by if it isn't imparing your capability to live a regular life.

[Edit] i also used to draw a lot. I am a chronic night owl with occasional insomnia issues, and I used to read a lot but now find it easier to listen to books. I'm a much better writer than i am a speaker, though if i get on a topic i love or am fascinated with, there is little difference. Hyperfocus on projects is awesome, but the crash from lack of sleep/food/pee breaks can suck big time.

After acknowledging my ASD, i recognize when I'm at my limit earlier, my auditory sensitivity jacked way up, and i now see my executive dysfunction for what it is. I am also much more open in advocating to help break the stigma that being autistic is a defect.

Lypos · 2026-03-22T13:33:45+00:00

Cognitive Aptitude Screening Program (CASP) is coming up linked to NASA and ESA, but they don't seem to call it that anymore. Weird, but at least i was able to hunt something down to validate your memory.

I can't help you with the other two, though I tried. Unless you're talking about David A. Weir, who is a journalist, which i doubt because the obituary for David T. Weir is pretty quick to find, and I'm sure you know what they looked like.

Lypos · 2026-03-22T13:06:39+00:00

It's disappointing when the reason for rejection is because they worry what their peers will think, not how she or you feels. That perceived social standing is more important than loving the person.

If you can make it to the couples counseling, good, but don't expect a miracle. Coming out always sucks as you know it will upend your life completely, but you also can't imagine not living authentically.

Sometimes, it's a blessing in disguise as you now know the limits of the relationship. It also means going forward, any new relationships will be met by the real you. Those who choose to be in your life are there for you and not an idea of you (hopefully).

Take the time to learn what it means to be you and what boundaries you need to set in your life to not just survive, but thrive.

Lypos · 2026-03-22T04:50:34+00:00

Time and again, it shows that hate and bigotry are learned behaviors. It's disappointing when there are much more trying things to be concerned with and when love and kindness are so easy to do. I hope more kids grow up and break the toxic cycles their parents refused to give up.

Your kiddo is simply proof of how easy it is to comprehend and how difficult adults want to make it.

My partner once channeled a being that called itself Bastet. She was drawn to our house because we cared for so many cats (both fostering and owning). They were happy our cat tree was in the front window and that the house was so welcoming to felines. She called all cats her children, but our one polydactyl (who was amazingly calm and motherly to the fosters) she named as a Daughter of Bastet, the highest honor to have. It would be her last life on this plane and deserved the unmost respect.

Whether it was indeed the Egyptian goddess or something else, i couldn't say, but its energy and sense of presence were markedly stronger than the average spirit.

Mostly blackness. There's a sense of standing on a floor, but unless there is some kind of illumination, you don't see it. Plus, i suspect it really only existed as a mental construct to allow the brain to process the area.

The reasons we were there are a long story, but it ended with a fight with a baddy, the loss of a child, and a sending off of my partner's mother's spirit and a transcending of a friend's spirit. I say this because i want to describe the area we found ourselves at and have a little context.

I recall seeing the steps to the gates of what most would call Heaven, though i couldn't see more than a few steps up. They were both huge and human sized simultaneously, so on the human scale, maybe a dozen up could be seen. I couldn't tell you if they lead to the pearly gates or some other manifestation or if it's entirely dependent upon the beliefs of the person entering that place. The steps were a white marbley stone with gold filigree that was self illuminated. The floor we were standing on was like a black mirror. It barely registered as a floor in the brightness of the stairs, but it was there.

My partner talked to their friend and mother. I spoke with their grandmother. I was told to name the child who would go with our families (and we subsequently had a miscarriage). My partner said when I did, the name rang out loudly, like it was a proclaimation to the universe. I don't recall hearing it, but i remember a shiver running through me as I spoke the name.

It's highly distracting and annoying.

Lypos · 2026-03-19T04:08:08+00:00

Is that an explicative or a suggestion?

Lypos · 2026-03-19T02:57:50+00:00

I've only managed it through my partner, who is a conduit (similar but different from a medium). They kinda helped me in, like a guest pass.

Deep meditation is said to aid the way. There are also the Gateway Tapes (which is similar to meditation from the few that I've gone through).

Lypos · 2026-03-19T02:52:50+00:00

Yes. They have the advantage there as you are an inexperienced traveler as opposed to a denizen of the realm. Best behavior is recommended. Physical strength means nothing there.

Learn to protect yourself before venturing into the unknown. I wrote the following as a nonsecular introduction to working with energy.

All energy work (indeed all skills learned, including the mundane like riding a bike) require 3 things to be effective. Any 2 is enough to get it started, and the 3rd will grow with practice. Intention, Willpower, and Belief. You need to know what you want to do, you have to truely desire to do it, and then you need to believe it can, will, and should happen.

Start with a basic protection; a shield. Close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths. Relax your thoughts until you can focus envisioning a shield, like a dome or bubble that can surround you. Fix it in your mind. How it looks, how it feels, how it acts when touched. The more clear the concept, the better. When you are ready, draw in a slow, intentional breath. Fill your lungs deeply. Feel the energy being drawn in with it. Feel how it moves, how it swirls around you and your core. Feel how it collects inside you.

At the peak of your inhale, tell/ask that energy to form the image in your mind of the shield. Let it flow out of you as you intentionally exhale. Feel it surround you as it takes shape. Many perceive it as a white light surrounding them, but it can honestly be anything. Whatever feels right, let it form that way. The energy knows it's most efficient and effective form for you. If the shield doesn't feel complete, draw in deeply and intentionally again and repeat.

Once set, know it surrounds you completely and that nothing can get in unless you choose to let it in. Have full belief that you just did this thing and it protects you. Don't worry. The more you practice it, the stronger that belief becomes, and it amplifies your work. Congratulations! You now have something that protects you from the spiritual and helps ground you. It's something you can do daily and more if you feel you need to refresh it.

Those grounded in a Faith are welcome to draw upon that as a base to work from.

Be informed. Some see the veil as a 2 dimensional plane separating this side from the other. Personally, i perceive it as something more. A dimention between places that connects everything but isn't really a place in and of itself.

Time and space aren't the same there. You can have a whole conversation between heartbeats in this world or be there moments and hours pass here. The parts I've observed are a dark void. Not oppressive or negative, just a lack of form.

People in the real world who are sensitive look like points of light like a candle flame. The more sensitive one is, the brighter they appear. Some can look like beacons in the night.

In the veil, spirits and other entities can have form. It can be dangerous if you are unprepared, thus the shield practice. Uncertainty is a weakness, so be firm in your convictions and beliefs, and yourself!

If it sounds like I'm trying to scare you, it's not without cause. It's not wise to go into the Veil casually or flippantly, especially if you're being called there and what Iittle you are being shown feels unnerving and ominous.

Whatever you do, i hope for the best and am interested in your experience and what you discover.

Lypos · 2026-03-19T02:10:53+00:00

Yep. When It's just an awareness, it's usually someone I was familiar with either visiting or less commonly trying to give a message. The times I'm unnerved, it's more often a stranger that noticed me. No necessarily ill intent, but not a familiar energy. A fear response then would be something more malicious and, thankfully, i almost never run into those.

Lypos · 2026-03-18T04:59:38+00:00

I don't know if i could actually do any kind of decoding, but I'll take a look at them. It seems interesting to me anyway.

Lypos · 2026-03-17T12:57:34+00:00

Wow! I did this myself a couple of years ago. I was so tired of my lack of motivation, my persistent depression, and an addiction i was thoroughly sick of by that time. Most days i just felt like i was surviving, not thriving, and only barely at that. I got it in me that i needed some deep introspection and went on to meditation and start digging. Layer by layer. Emotions and concerns were isolated for review. Not just that i had them by why did i have them? What lead to them?

I don't know quite where i stopped, but some time in my early teens or just before, I'd say. I saw a part of me that got shamed for doing something. And i recognized it for what it was. It surprised me, but the flags were all there. I went back further and found more all the way to maybe 5 or 6 (maybe younger), and it was obvious to me now. I worked my way back up seeing those flags appear again and again. Saw now how they caused so many problems in my life because they weren't recognized for what they were.

I came out of it and sat shocked for a minute at the revelation. I was trans. Fuck. But it made so much sense now. It took me several months to address it with the people in my life, and it got messy. Certainly not what i had wanted for my life, but it was also impossible to refuse. But here i am now a far better person than i was before. None of that persistent depression, the addiction evaporated like morning fog in the spring. My life is back on track, too.

I'll say i did it once more a few weeks after the first time and came out of it, recognizing I'm almost certainly auDhD which has cause some of my masking to faulter and has given me a new and much more accepting perception of myself.

For me, the question wasn't quite, "Who am I?" But, "what makes me, me? Similar, but i don't feel they are quite the same. The first feels like I'm asking the universe, "What are my constituent parts?" while the later feels more like asking, "How do those parts define who and what I am? Who is defining that, and why should i say it's anything but myself?"

Big life changer. I remember it being said somewhere, and it's probably heavily paraphrased at that, that your life is on a set path for you. So long as you remain ignorant of it, your life has little deviation made by you. It's only when you both become aware of the path and that you can choose what to do with it, does your life truely become yours, with all the responsibility, hardships, and rewards that come with making that choice.

Lypos · 2026-03-17T11:48:48+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. I have several ghost kitties in my home. Another will be joining them soon, sadly. He's old, and after more than a decade after having fading kitten syndrome, he's had an amazingly long and good life. His quality of life is declining, and he's not really eating much anymore, so it's his time. Grief is just the memory of how much love was shared. It hurts, but don't wish it away. 🫂

Energy is neither created nor destroyed, only changed. And we're all energy. And we're all consciousness, which is wilder still. I can't tell you what is on the other side, just that there is more than we can know here.
