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.

MondayTo 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

TuesdaySix sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks

WednesdayFred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread

ThursdayA blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?

FridayThe great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes

SaturdayIf you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully

SundayLuke'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!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

I keep writing and deleting these long fire-and-brimstone comments. Odd considering nobody cares lmao

cw deathIf you had a million questions and nobody who seemed like a safe person or a reliable person to ask, what would you do?

If you felt like dying and had nobody and nothing to hold you back, challenge those thoughts, affirm something, what would you do?

  • You have no friends? Go to a meetup.
  • No meetups? Try posting online!
  • Nobody responding online? Talk to a friend!
  • You have no friends? Go to a meetup-

I've explained why none of that is working right now. Local groups are silent, dating apps are all straight people and polyamorous relationships. I'm just waiting for class to start so I can go back to being terrified of the pretty little 22 year olds.

I seem to want to a type of relationship that hasn't existed since the Industrial Revolution, wherein you are a direct apprentice to someone regarded as having some expertise. I am a novice at femininity and would love to, like, be under someone's wing. Like, I would be such a good student. My God.

Times like this make me want to just throw on a dress and bright red lipstick and go full femme and get shitfaced at a dive bar. Just like, see what happens. Could it be worse? Would even that matter to anyone?

Ending this comment by affirming to myself that I can not expect anyone to reply, or help me, or care. This has been done to manage my own sanity

There's a reason why master-disciple relationships are so common in fantasy media.

spoilerWell you definitely don't need to be terrified of the other students; they're just people too.

Look here's the thing about cis people: masculinity and femininity aren't any more natural for them than for us - they just get taught that stuff from an earlier age. You'll catch up fine.

no deathWhat does being a good student (of femininity) mean to you?

When you go to the meetups you do also have to open up and talk to people, hopefully now that the winter holidays are over it'll start picking up again. Especially for university clubs, which you should absolutely join. But it does mean you have to talk to the 22 year old youre terrified of. Also, its trite and not necessarily actionable because of cost but you should be seeking therapy if you can for social anxiety. You shouldn't be terrified of speaking to anyone casually let alone 22 year olds even if they're pretty.

For that situation I would absolutely be working on my own mental health first and while getting friends ans a support network would help its not the whole answer. Feeling that way isnt something that can be "cured" by socialization alone.

Im so sorry youre hurting so much, it must be hard to balance school, looking for meetups and attending them, work too, and so on. Its a lot to take on!
