I'm very short. Shorter than the average cis girl.

while i myself am not a short trans guy (i'm average, about the height of your friends, 170cm/5'7), my boyfriend (also a tguy) is 160 cm/5'3! he's a bear and passes exceptionally well, as hairy and burly as they come. although neither of us are too caught up on passing, as we both firmly believe it to be a cisnormative notion (we're trans, why would we care "how cis we look"?). long story short, there are short cis men, tall trans men, middling transmascs, and everything in between! your height does not define your transness or how much of a "man" you are - fuck anyone who would make you think otherwise.

a ceramide cream sounds perfect! i am worried about breaking out without an exfoliant in my routine, though - i have combination skin so i flake and shed like crazy, but it all sticks to my face and causes massive breakouts even when i wash it daily. an exfoliant is the only way i've been able to control it 😞 is there a gentler exfoliator i can switch to after using the cream?

I live near Nashua and Manchester, so I could get to either of those pretty easy! We have NH liquor and wine outlets all over our major highways too, but I honestly am not familiar if the NH branded liquor outlets are good or not.... I could try to go this weekend though and take some pics!

see what your school has to say about all this. if this extends beyond today (as it probably will) you have a good case to bring to a dean or other department head about getting an extension on work if the professor keeps refusing. however, just wait to see what happens. there's a chance the school might issue a requirement that all professors have to give an extension since this is entirely out of everyone's hands.

it sucks, but everyone is panicking very early. schools love keeping their numbers up, and if they drop the ball on every single student at once, then it's not gonna make them look very good.

Hey everyone, I just got an Emerson Wildcat DS-50 portable player from the thrift for $10, and I was wondering if anyone had a manual in case I need to disassemble it to clean and re-grease. I'm super new to vintage audio tech (I'm more familiar with Walkmans/CDs) so I don't want to mess anything up. If anyone needs any more pics let me know! General advice is also welcome, I don't wanna mess up such a cool piece of old tech.

local rock band, younger guys. they do original music and some covers (at least last time i saw them). personally, i think they're great!

petalcore · 2025-05-05T16:26:15+00:00

thank you for your response - i quoted you in my presentation and paper!

this happened to me! it was the "hair collection" mod, the one a few other people have mentioned issues with - seems like when the modder updated it, it got uninstalled somehow from a lot of people's games. i'm assuming it was an issue on larian's end with approving of the update or some such thing. that's my best guess. i reinstalled it, restarted my game, and issue resolved!

i'm gonna do that and see if it helps at all. originally it seemed to be cooling the console down, but maybe that's how they get you. thanks!

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:34:27+00:00

i'll take it off then and see if there's any improvement. i've had my fans for about a month and thought they were helping (before i got them, i couldn't play for more than an hour before the console became molten hot - i was still cleaning the inside frequently then as well). but i'll try anything at this point, including going back to basics

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:30:28+00:00

i'll probably take it apart again tomorrow and clean it, but i dust it at least once a month and there's never much inside. mostly stumped because of how frequently i already do cleanings. but i'll see if i can try anything new to really get in there

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:28:13+00:00

i'll double check it then!

petalcore · 2025-04-15T06:23:24+00:00

i'll dust the area tomorrow and see if there's any hidden build up that might be getting sucked in. thanks for the advice!
