On the 10th of April 1912, The Titanic set sail from Southhampton in England for her maiden voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Four days later, just before midnight on the 14th, Titanic struck an iceberg, which caused it to take severe damage and sink during the night, leading to the death of the majority of her passengers.
At the time, Titanic was one of the most advanced ships in the world. It was as a steam-powered ocean liner, a type of ship specifically built to repeatedly make the dangerous crossing between Europe and America. Because air travel was not available at the time, this service was vital, and Titanic was built at a time where different shipping lines were constantly trying to outcompete each other in building the fastest and most luxurious ships. The Titanic was equipped with restaurants, cafes and even a Turkish bath (a sort of spa / sauna hybrid), though due to the strict segregation of first, second, and third class passengers, only a minority were allowed access to these accomodations.
The White Star Line, who built and operated the Titanic, was convinced the ship wouldn't sink, and did not adequately prepare for it, only carrying enough lifeboats to carry a portion of the ship's passengers. While this claim seems absurd today โ modern ship are far, far safer than the Titanic, but no one would ever claim they couldn't sink โ it was a popular sentiment at the time. Because of the Titanic's novel and highly advanced watertight compartments, it was thought that even if she suffered catastrophic damage, she would bob around on the surface like a cork, rather than sink to the bottom, so there would be no hurry to evacuate the passengers
Later, the story of the titanic would go on to become something of a pop culture legend, the greatest example being the 1997 movie by James Cameron (it's really good actually). A bunch of conspiracy theories about the ship's fate has also popped up over the course of the last century, some gaining significant traction despite the lack of evidence.

sex and sadness
why does everything about this make me so sad. Masturbating makes me feel sad. My fantasies have been sad for a while now. Touching it makes me sad. Fantasizing about a partner makes me sad and anxious. Feel super terrible about the idea of anyone seeing me, obviously that makes it super hard to get, like idk in the mood or anything. It also makes me worry about finding someone, I know its important for most people and its kinda the thing that makes me feel the most broken. I try not to worry about it because that's a future issue but its still a thing. I just hate being sad and dissociating and broken feeling every time and I still feel horny kinda a lot and should do maintenance, idk.

Masturbation is not the same when you transition especially on E, read Fucking Trans Women vol 0 for more ideas on what to do. There's more rubbing on the perinanal zone (between testicle and anus, closer to anys). You also should treat the head like its actually a clit (it pretty much is anyway). I found stuff changing and getting more pleasurable after E when I started treating it like it was more like a vagina.
You'll meet someome~ but being single isnt a failure state.
spoiler
Yea, I need to start using it differently more... even 3 months on E I can tell its changing a bit, definitely looking forward to that being more what I need.
treat the head like its actually a clit
idk if this is tmi but I struggle with that once it gets hard, maybe I just need to keep trying things but I don't really understand how that would work.
I'll try to remember that, I do just really want someone too, and physical affection. But ty for the reminder. Hope I do find someone, it'll probably be a bit still..

My advice to any new transfem is a Hitachi magic wand or equivalent. It's a real game changer.
I push it onto the head and toward my belly button so it can't move. Feels great. Sometimes I swap it up and do the perineal area to hit the prostate.
It even works really well through clothes so if you have dysphoria at seeing the penis, you can go over underwear or clothes.
mental health
Asked my therapist if there's a way for me to pursue a gender dysphoria diagnosis (I just needed some affirmation). "Oh, that's been in your file for almost two years now." 
Wonder if mine gave me a diagnosis too, I should check. Think you usually need one for surgery so idk if it'd hurt.
It's worth checking! I'm still working through the leap to acceptance, a long way off from surgery. But I think a paper trail could only be helpful for that sort of thing.
I'm still working through the leap to acceptance
Me too though 
It's very hard, but at least we're not alone in it
beating Spec Ops: The Line on FUBAR 
I am really enjoying WarSails no game has really scratched the Assassins Creed Black Flag like this. I wish I could sail outside of combat though, like in ports or just on the world map.
The only problem is that something needs to be tweaked to make large naval battles more common. I've only had two really memorable, touch and go ones. Every other battle the outcome has pretty much been predetermined by ships and numbers, it's just how skillfully it's pulled off. Factions need to have dedicated Sea-Lords and Land-Lords based on their holdings and size. So that in a war they're not just sailing in a straight line to their target but patrolling in big fleets etc.
Still there's some really neat things you can pull off that I'm surprised by. One time I was on the aft of the ship and in heavy waves. the enemy galley was raised up so that for a brief moment I was able to jump the short distance and suddenly be on their ship with falx in hand cutting their sailors down by surprise.
My Husband has the traits Impulsive, Devious and Cruel. Is described thus as "Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know" and yet he's governed my capital through 10 years of overwhelming growth, civil projects and stability. Which is really funny. He's like the Warlord of municipal politics and should be on No Gods No Mayors.
The Nords declared war on me. When no enormous fleet materialized. I sailed to their nearby Peninsula. My father in law rules the tip near me. I met him, opened a chest with 3.5 million denars, shook his hand and doubled my Kingdom size without a fight. Then declared peace with the Nords. Hopefully this prompts more bigger wars in the future. I have passed every reform I wanted earlier having another clan in the kingdom is not too onerous.
Argh it did not prompt bigger wars, I have reloaded the save. Fighting the Nords is annoying and they are faster than me (because even though I'm a Nord I'm not using longships). And they keep fighting my family on land. Keeping my kingdom small. I'm close to getting bored.
I tried to fight the Khurzaits/Mongols. They offered me an enormous pay off to go away. I might still contrive a way to fight them through alliances. I haven't fought them yet.
The two amazing battles I had were:
First I was a mercenary for the Southern Empire at war with the Aeserai, I had a Drakker which is a large longship with 70 veteran Nord soldiers. I saw a fleet of 4 enemy lords and 280 men. I decided to engage them because I figured even though they had 4 times my number, 4 lords meant 12 ships and even if they had an equivalent number of veteran soldiers they'd be scattered amongst the more fresh recruits.
So at night on moonlight sea with huge waves and a light fall snow, I steered my one ship against there 12, I targeted their most starboard ship, I figured if I could board it quickly I could overcome their crew. As we fought the other ships kept coming to reinforce the next in a line. So we fought this vicious charge across a half a dozen small ships overwhelming each crew until we were halted at this larger galley with a bigger crew, then the fight got tense and bloody. My character had long since depleted her quivers and cut a swath with a two handed ax
We lost around 30 men outright, but at a moment their morale broke and we surged forward. Winning the battle on a blood drenched deck with the handful of non incapacitated troops cheering was great. My 40 men (half sporting wounds that took them out of combat capacity) limped into the nearest Empire port. 9 captured ships in tow, a hundred prisoners and 4 lords in chains
Later I was fighting as a mercenary for the Aeserai against the Western Empire. I caught Emperor Garyos by himself leaving a port. He had Dromon (huge warship) and two liburna (medium sized galleys). I had recovered my crew and had 80 or 90 experienced men. He had about 200 men. As I raced towards them wind behind my Drakker, I had planned to engaged the Dromon as fast possible before the other two could reinforce. However a spray of flaming grapeshot arced and narrowly missed my forward bow. I realised Garys could probably inflict heavy causalities on me before I even boarded.
So I peeled off and came alongside one of his escort ships, positioning so it was between us and the large Dromon. Garyos brought his Dromon very close by but wisely did not engage to reinforce. We quickly overcame the crew of the galley. The moment their last man fell, Garyos started firing flaming grapeshot at us, clever but the man should have been callous enough to fire into his own men while we had the melee. We raced back to our boat, I unfurled our sails as the wind was in our favor, but I didn't cut us free from the galley, using this ship now empty except for corpses like a shield I closed the distance between my boat and the Dromon, we boarded with the now burning liburna as a backdrop. I personally knocked down Emperor Garyo's at the helm of his own ship.
The last galley hung there nearby only a boat's gap between, frozen as if by indecision. The captain knowing if he fled it would end his career if not execution but also that to engage was certain death. As he made up his mind I strode to forecastle of the Dromon loaded the ballistate with flaming grapeshot, and then at close range fired three times into the ship until their entire crew was dead. I sailed and gave the captured Emperor as a prisoner to the Aeserai Emir and made his Dromon my flagship.
(I actually sold the Dromon but I now use a Dromon as my flagship so that's the story that gets told in taverns)
I'm recovered from my gastro it was really short lived but it has ripped through my family with alarming speed.
I went to get some shopping. I decided to wear an elf hat and elf ears. It was funny to see the triple takes I got. "Hey that lady has elf ears!" followed by "Oh hey that lady is a t-slur"
Also long elf ears give me gender euphoria and I worked out why, they make my chin and nose look more in proportion with my face. All the ladies in my family have big noses, it's not just a being trans thing, my chin is though. Also they peak out of my straight black hair and look really cute.
Oh vibrator in my bag
Why did you turn on in public 
?
No lock mode?
I didn't even think to check if it has one
Why do you need a portable vibe in public?
Sounds like she was traveling and taking it with her according to recent posts
Yes I was
it really seems that much of non-western global regular people cuisine is "dip or scoop tasty stew with crispy bread" and i'm like "omg that's my favorite thing to do"
worms and dysphoria
I don't think there's anything that could make me feel worse about my body and being male and male puberty and acting male then cis lesbians. I just want to be a woman. And seen as a woman. People looking at me as a woman and not this. Why the fuck did I have to be born male
a fun part of being vegan is pairing different plant milks with different things. Im increasingly stocking more kinds in my house so I can go 'hmmm almond milk with this cereal, unsweetened soy as a cheese sauce base, oat for oatmeal...'
coconut milk makes a really nice creamy base for a lot of stuff, highly recommend
oh definitely coconut milk too, for all my curry needs
searched at airport (off-putting)
Disadvantage of not being legally trans shows up when the airport security guard runs his hands over your body (and even breasts, twice just to be sure). I even thought he was about to take off my shirt and I panicked. Then running over my butt and thighs.
Genuinely what the fuck. How is this even necessary for security? Mfs did a full body all spectrum scan already.
At least the airport people kept misgendering me, so that means that I'm safe from my parents ๐
Nexperia's China unit switches to local firms for wafer supplies
The development will allow the Chinese unit, which declared itself independent of Nexperia's European management two months ago, to continue manufacturing Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) power chips and modules, switches that regulate current in electric vehicles and industrial equipment.
Insulated bipolar trans-sister
We are a field effect trans-sister. That's why we're so Switchy.
Wow, you're like, a CMOS inverter.
Just call me H-bridge
H-bridge sister!
