B does roller Derby

So

Roller Derby. 😅

Honestly, not really anything else. I've never cared much for the various sportsballs. I enjoy some Olympic events, but just because I love celebrating what the human body can do. I don't care who wins.

Oooooh! Depends on what you personally enjoy and struggle with, but:

Goodbye to Halos (incomplete)
A short history of trans misogyny (THE CONCLUSION 💜😭💜)
O Human Star (seeing it hurt someone else, as they overcome it, helps, I think)
Shameless plug of my own writing:

So here's an angle of me you don't often see: I have an apron belly. I'm not wild about it.

But here's the other thing: *that's super common in cis women, especially mothers*. It's not an AMAB thing.

Empire and midi dresses and skirts do A LOT, as does tummy control undies and garments.

I don't--and I don't because the guy that the FFS doctors at Henry Ford Hospitals sends people to is in Grand Rapids. He's just plain better.

Hop in the car and drive on over to Holt Hair Restoration. He did mine, and he's a big ol' hair nerd. Fantastic work!

Because of how your selfie camera works! (Also, it's a 15 degree angle)

So here's the thing: your selfie camera is a short-focal-length scanner, not a true camera, and in effect has a fisheye effect on any images it takes. That'll make parts of your body look really weirdly disproportionate in subtle ways that make some parts of your body seem larger or smaller than they really are. Doing a 15 degree angle above your eye level makes that effect hit mostly on your hair, where it's least apparent, and leaves your other body features in more realistic proportion.
