I agree, I wouldn’t mention this to your manager OP. I’d just start leaving a few hours early whenever you feel like it/can do it without being noticed.

I’m in a similar position— put in extra work for about a year after being promised a promotion, was told there wasn’t room to promote this cycle, so now I quietly take some half days and spend a lot less time at my desk than I used to.

Mixing phenibut with basically anything scares the shit out of me, the first time I ever took phenibut I took too much and ended up sleeping for ~16 hours. Apparently when my gf tried to wake me up I was fully incoherent and laying in a pool of sweat. I spent the next 48 hours or so too nauseous to move. I’ve taken Phenibut a few times since then but always ~600mg instead of ~1g.

Glad you’re okay!

reading through the list of events I’ve lived through made me oddly sad.

Any of the comments that I have seen about trans athletes has not been that they shouldn’t play, the controversy is about whether they should be allowed to play in a professional women’s league or not.

This is just patently false.

Lately I’ve been playing with a friend— that definitely helps! I guess I just miss the freedom of playing spontaneously or really zoning out during a round. I was thinking about carrying pepper spray or something but I’m worried about escalating.

Again, I would love to do that, but disc golf courses feel genuinely unsafe. Sure it’s “their problem” but I do not give a fuck if it’s their problem or mine if I’m dead or beaten.

 

Outside of the disc golf scene, I’m in a pretty left-leaning area, but the thought of going out to play a round alone in girl mode scares the shit out of me. Ironically, playing disc golf alone was one of the things that helped me sort out my thoughts and accept my gender id, but even in boy mode I just get this overwhelming anxiety now. Particularly when locals/other golfers approach me on the course— the culture reminds me a lot of skate culture, but with older people and more bro-y misogynist talk (constantly talking about how much they love pussy and want to fuck).

I don’t even give a shit about tournaments (fuck the PGDA though) I just want to throw discs. I don’t really know if my fear is justified, but the tenor of the conversation around trans athletes online makes me feel super unsafe.

I've got a Dynavap and a Zeal! Highly recommend, it covers me well for portable and at-home use. Let me know if you need any help with ball vapes :)
