Courtney (she/her/they)

Hello lovelies, I am a (trans)Woman who is still in the process of discovering herself!

I have been working up the courage to be who I am for so long, I am excited to be figuring things out.

Pre-HRT, pre-fashion-sense, and pre-confidence.

Any and all tips and advice from more experienced women are welcome!

  • RTGs do get put out in space, however they aren’t used for everything. If a single rocket experiences Spontaneous Unplanned Disassembly while carrying an RTG, it’s a disaster that spreads radioactive materials.

    The entire point of an RTG is to use the waste heat as power, and if I understand RTG design, the cooling fins are to provide the difference in temperature that thermoelectric modules need to produce power. So there isn’t a ton of heat that it gives off in general.

    Look at the international space station. It has massive radiator panels, and all it needs to do is house humans and the equipment to keep them alive. A lot of bulkiness of space suits is dedicated to heat management.

    The #1 product of data centers is massive amounts of equipment-killing heat. That heat either gets radiated via massive radiator panels, or the space data center cooks it’s own equipment.





  • An acquaintance from highschool kept going on about some guy stalking her. Always following her in the halls at school, following her home, and following her downtown sometimes…

    He lived on the same street as her, and they both took the same computer class and had band/lunch block together.

    I pointed out I recognize him, he finally hit a growth spurt and now he’s much taller and noticeable.

    She insisted he convinced his parents to move closer so he could stalk her better.

    I never saw him outside one day we were at Walmart and he was clearly there with his parents and little sister. Nope, stalking. She screamed at him and called him names. I left her there.

    I also told him if she tried to call the cops or get lawyers involved, here’s my email and I will tell them an outside perspective.


  • My last interaction with the post office was after a week of getting “PACKAGE NOT DELIVERED, MAILBOX INACCESSIBLE” and no mail at all, and after camping out on my porch to watch it for a day, seeing the mail truck drive right on by and seconds later getting ANOTHER message about the mailbox being inaccessible, I took a picture of the mailbox and went to ask them why their driver is just straight up lying and refusing to deliver my mail.

    After speaking to 3 people and filling out some form basically recounting everything, I got a week’s worth of mail and 2 packages the next morning.

    I miss the days when the usps functioned well, smoothly, and quickly. Before Republicans started gutting it.


  • I got kicked out of my in-laws for yelling at my spouse s sister for saying this.

    My response was “What the fuck did you just say to her? Other people have it much BETTER than you do so why the fuck are you acting so fucking happy? That’s how fucking stupid you sound.”

    For context, she had spent the entire 7 hours she had been awake sitting in a hot tub drinking wine and tequila instead of being a parent, and basically dumped all the responsibilities for the children of the day onto the only othertwo adults present, one of whom was having a panic attack. I was les than happy when I showed up after work to pick my spouse up and walked into chaos and her sobbingand hyperventilating in the bathroom.

    My In laws are terrible people.









  • I’ve been working on taking out the infestation around my parent’s house since 2017.

    Its still going strong and when I moved away from the county last year they let it go wild, so now it’s all over the retaining wall for their driveway, crawling along the back wall of the garage under the siding, and I’ve even seen a leaf inside the house that I had to pull out of the vent.

    I’ve decided if they didn’t care enough to work on it, I don’t care either. We’ll see how much damage it does this year.



  • I’ve alienated many relatives by responding to things lie this with “LMAO that’s exactly how a dumb shit republican thinks! Damn, I didn’t know you could be this funny!” or something along those lines.

    Oddly, they never seem to respond unless it’s like 3 months later at a family gathering when they have had time to think of a reply…
