I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they’ll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here’s one for each day of the next week.
Monday
To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block
Tuesday
Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks
Wednesday
Fred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread
Thursday
A blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?
Friday
The great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes
Saturday
If you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully
Sunday
Luke’s duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke’s duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes
If you want something normal sounding to say instead, try the Harvard Sentences. Or read a book to someone!

My one year HRT tran-iversary is going to be on a day off next month. Fuck yeah!
Happy biHRTday!
I love that for you, hope it’s a lovely day
Sometimes being autistic means spending the first few years on your own not realising you can just do things without prior guidance/permission. I bought a blanket last week cause I wanted a blanket - so what if I didn’t have one where I grew up? Fuck it, I have a blanket for the couch now.
I should have done this years ago lol. It’s so comfy. Crazy how the world opens up when you realize this.
Had a very puppy evening, got lots of pets and it was really nice, and just got to be puppppyyyyyy
My partner patted my head after I got back from work and I think my body took a screenshot. Your lovely evening may have killed me on the spot, I’m glad you had fun!
Awwh cuuutes! Puppytime is besttime

Yall are living my dream 🪦
You too can be a puppy! Be a puppy on your own and have a good time gnawing ur bone and
-ing around, be a puppy with people and get all the pets! All of them!
Do puppy howl at the moon

There should be a pound where I can adopt a puppy girl
Surprised you don’t already have one
Well there’s no pound so how am I supposed to find em, I can get a cat girl by going pss pss pss but a puppy girl??
You can get puppy girls by saying “who’s a good girl”
*tap tap tap the microphone*
Ahem, who is a good girl. Please stand if you are a real good girl.
*stands up hesitantly* a- awruff?

sex idea
JOI but it’s getting you to do basic hygiene and drinking water.
When archivists look back on this post as the revolutionary moment that turned society around can you say you upbeared it?
That’s just called getting a d type
Does the d stand for duck 🦆
Nope!
pet play
I have horrible executive dysfunction; doing all sorts of little things can be so hard for me for no good reason, even when I really want to do them.
Two of my partners are using clicker training to train me to do my chores and it’s so fucking sexy, and it’s actually working so well too! Like way better than anything I’ve tried in years of therapy. Being a big gay freak continues to pay
gonna show this post to my partner and make her study it like a religious text
Hehehe
I don’t miss my ex but damn I miss that dynamic. It took so much stress off my shoulders as someone w OCD and control issues. It was nice to let go.
having symptoms of perimenopause and reading about taking testosterone, estrogen and progesterone at the same time
hrt sundaeWe are so back today! Tried out a chosen name in my support group and am feeling really good trying clothes on 🥰 It’s scary choosing to pursue my identity, but that recognition and acknowledgment of my inner self seeps into other areas of my life. It’s empowering.
Also journaled for the first time in a long time. Childhood me knew what was up before the “loving” religious people around me flooded her with transphobic lies. Finally, clarity.

the instant shot of anxiety when I make a slightly off-color joke on this website
I sometimes write cum just to feel something most days
Going to the store is stressful
The amount of people standing exactly where I need to stand or moving so slow genuinely makes me question myself. I feel the need to avoid aisles with people in them. I’m not even sure what kind of shampoo I bought because a worker needed to be exactly where I was standing and that prompted me to just go straight to checkout. I feel like everyone is in my way, or I’m in everyone’s way.
It’s hard not to freak out over the prospect of nobody being able to relate to things that I post. I go into this meta-analysis of “why do people respond to other people but not me”. It’s a lot
i’m thankful that the grocery store that I go to (that people avoid because “its scary”) actually has people who seem like they generally dont want to be rude and everyone is able to get around without too much trouble. every other grocery store I’ve been to is hell.
Before transitioning, the social physical world moved around me. I could walk down the street and people would flow around me. I was not aware of this until I started passing and now people get mad at me for daring to be standing in the place theyre backing up without looking. I also feel like so many people are in my way, especially if I finished a shift. That’s more to do with my brain being fried and exhausted and yes its a little annoying when people look at every single broccoli crown while standing in front of some carrots I want or whatever. I dont feel like Im in others people way - but of course I must be some of the time, which is why I can normally extend more grace and am much more patient. Its only when Im stressed, tired, that in my head I feel the world has conspired to put as many slow people in front of me lol
Although, I do swear post covid peoples’ spatial awareness is just worse. Every once in a rare while, someone would do somrthing dumb like stop at the top of an escalator to check their bearings while people pour into them (its an escalator, they cant stop you should not be stopped immediately in front). Stuff like that does seem more common since 2020 for whatever reason.
I try to avoid shopping at busy hours because of this
Maybe the urgently moving people have urgent needs, like needing to go to the bathroom or be other places. Maybe the slower people are more tired.
I wonder what percentage these guesses of mine alone covers for the people you run into.
Insomnia is a side effect of many Covid infections. So is depression and anxiety. I think these are all things that can change people’s speed of doing things.
Evidence suggests that the risk of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances significantly increases in COVID-19 patients, with prevalence rates of 45%, 47%, and 34%, respectively.[6] Another study showed that the rates of depression anxiety and insomnia in COVID-19 survivors were 11.5%, 28%, and 64.8%.[7] Notably, the prevalence of insomnia among COVID-19-infected patients was as high as 26.45%, even after they recovered and left the hospital.
Lost a pet

3 am and just left the emergency vet, my brothers cat had to be put down, I lived with the little guy for years when we first got him and even though I haven’t visited my brothers apartment often since he moved a few years ago, I still loved that little cat. First time I’ve cried in maybe 3 years.
So sorry to hear this 🫂 Losing an animal friend is really hard
Yeah, finally got home and showered by 4 am, just woke up and it’s 12, I haven’t woken up this late in years
I hope you are doing okay
been thinking about a super dumb bit i want to try IRL where I claim that I’m detransitioning into an HRT femboy and then change literally nothing about myself
Up with trans.
up with trans
UP WITH TRANS
