Get my bachelors degree, overcome my fear of going to the gym, draw regularly, start playing around with music, participate in community organization and communicate how I really feel compassionately and bravely.

the israelis attempting to invade lebanon could be considered a border conflict flaring to life? Maybe? That might be stretching definitions though.
This probably sets a new legal precident that will be exploited in the future so it really is a gutwrenching piece of news but also this feels like a punchline after years of the dems pretending to give a shit about trans people.
I see, I'm going to stick with it like that and make a judgement in a week then. Thank you!
Not about leadership per-se but The Seven Habits of Highly Sucessful People has a lot of good stuff that would help someone in a leadership role, just make sure you find an older copy thats just by Stephen Covey because his weirdo son has shitted up the more recent editions (in my opinion).
Zen Lessons: The Art of Leadership is mostly quotations and short essays so it can be read in bits and peices here and there. Its more of a philisophical thing and doesn't give concrete instructions or anything.
Not a book recommendation but a generaln rule I was taught a long time ago was "praise in public, chastise in private", with "chastise in private" being the more important part. People generally appreciate it when they've been spared from public humiliation, and they'll be more open to criticism in a more private setting.
That entire poll is really fucking bleak
Apples.
This way I have fresh apples tomorrow and I don't have to go to the store!
OMG, Hackers is such a good movie, gotta watch it again some time.
The Leauge of Extraordinary Gentlemen has this perfect ratio of cool to bad that makes it chefs kiss Also it sucked SO HARD that it got Sean Connery to quit acting.
Also: take a picture of yourself on the day you start, you will thank yourself for it a few years down the road.
You are allowed to do what you want with your body. You are allowed to live for you. You are allowed to undergo horomone replacement therapy. It is going to be one of the most wonderful things you'll ever do, and you'll be doing it for yourself.
You'll thank yourself later for starting now, the bodily changes come slowly but the psychological effects can be felt as soon as a week after starting. When I began spiro in my early 20s it felt like something else had gone and I could think clearly for the first time since I was a child. Estrogen came later and added an element of emotional depth that I didn't know I was missing. A lot of the others claim similar things.
Regarding insurance: most will cover it and if you get your perscription through a Planned Parenthood or other gender affirming care clinic they absolutely will advocate for you to the insurance company. Worst comes to worst, in the grand scheme of things estrogen and spiro tend to be pretty cheap in terms of drugs so the worst case scenario isn't that bad all things considered.
You are a stranger to me, but I am very excited for you and wish you the best of luck on this journey. There is one more thing I like to tell people when they're starting out. It really does progress at a glacial pace. It's frustrating, especially in the first year or so, really frustrating. Your body will change little by little and at times it's going to feel like nothing is changing. One day, out of nowhere, you will look in the mirror, you'll see her for the first time and she'll be smiling back at you. It's going to happen, I promise.
I don't feel comfortable saying for privacy reasons. I hope you understand.
