The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.
The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China’s north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

Man, as a recent immigrant and trans person, dealing with Britain’s healthcare system is possibly the most exhausting and degrading thing I’ve ever dealt with.
Transes, what’s going on with me?

What’s with this whole imposter thing?
Not only do I want to be a woman, but I want to want to be a woman. So why can’t I believe it?
My wife and friends are all very supportive. I get she/hers. They use my new name. I’m dressing like a woman. Going through transition things like hair removal and voice training, but there’s something holding me back.
I don’t even know what it is. I can’t even point to it. I’m clearly not cis (and don’t want to be), and if I looked at another trans woman and saw her doing all the things I’m doing, I’d be like, “oh, that’s a woman.” But me? Idk, feels like something STILL hasn’t clicked.
Like, I’m happy. I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time, but I’m afraid I’ll wake up one day and be like, “well all that was weird. Wonder what I was thinking.”
I ask if I’m doing this for the wrong reasons. What even are the wrong reasons? Lmao.
I’ve seen a thousand other trans people with this same thought, and now I’m going through it. Ugh, exhausting!
(Gonna keep transitioning tho. I won’t be stopped!)
spore would be so good if it was good

i love when you find a weird guy on a site like rateyourmusic. guy from boise, idaho who’s rating wagner 5 stars, ranting about zoomers on an album from 15 years ago, and getting mad that kristin hayter is being a little bit sacreligious sometimes

chronic illness, doctors
went to urgent care today about my current fatigue crash and damn, i wish the nurse practitioner who saw me could be my gp. she validated my chronic fatigue symptoms, she actually suggested it may be me/cfs (!!!), and she told me that the previous gps i saw who wrote off my chronic illness as just depression were wrong and that i should keep advocating for myself. she actually said that i should find a new pcp because my old pcp was not taking my issues seriously. i have never felt so validated from a medical professional before. i honestly want to cry just thinking about it.
