Read part 1 here. Topics: Introduction, Names, Estrogen, Genes. Changes A week after starting HRT I stopped smelling like a man. My body odor changed from burning cheese warehouse to unnoticeable, or wet

Sunday the 25th of May last year was a special date: 25-05-2025. I woke up at 7 AM, swallowed a quarter of a little white pill and – wait what? I woke up at 7 AM on a Sunday? Without an alarm clock? Who

Am I really going to post a public statement of my finances in order to find investors, as I promised in my previous post about calculated stable loans? Yes, I think this will be interesting for other

We deserve to be in a crypto bear market. The latest bull market was based on cynical speculation in the form of memecoins and digital asset treasuries. While there were all-time-highs, crypto never regained

Did anyone else have a problem logging in using the Keychain extension? It looks like I had a timeout issue. It's hard to tell what went wrong when there are so many moving parts. Anyway, I switched to

Around 11:30 I checked my step count and thought: Great, I only need 43 more steps to reach 10,000. Then I forgot about it, sat down at my desk and almost missed my goal. Otherwise not a super fun day.

I wasn't exercising, I was mostly pacing around nervously, because I'm applying for jobs, both temp work in a warehouse and regular office jobs. This might mean I'll be paid double for walking around at

I'm finally ready to put my life on a more regular schedule. I joined a powerlifting lesson in the gym for the second time, and I'll keep doing that every Saturday, unless I need to work. This time, we

This time I have a relevant photo, but not much of a story. I cycled to the Aldi supermarket, which is not near my home. I like the taste of their zero-sugar cola, and cheap wine is nice too. Maybe this

While I've been going to a weightlifting gym since December, I hadn't joined the powerlifting classes yet. They're usually fully booked before I can make plans, and the suggested accessory program is rather

There's a heatwave in the Netherlands again, although less severe than in the Mediterranean and shorter than earlier this summer. Still, a Hungarian trucker decided to jump into the water from the 9m high

Yesterday I was happy to notice that the gym has 1kg weights now. Actually, it was a girl making fun of them who made me notice them. Previously the lightest weights were 1.25kg and a few rings of a pound

I've been in love with abstract art since I visited the Neues Museum Weserburg in Bremen and the Leeds Art Gallery in 2013. It wasn't an accident that I was charmed by those provincial museums. Previously,

Posting this just to point out that you can easily reach 11k steps on a regular day. I went to the supermarket and I vacuumed three rooms, nothing special. Random photo: my brother's garden. Although his

While hundreds of thousands of Dutch people were visiting Amsterdam for the Canal Parade, I went to the eastern city of Nijmegen, also for homosexual purposes, which I won't specify. 😁 It was not a sunny

I covered almost the same distance on Saturday, when I went cycling with a friend, just to have a chat. Along the way, on a rather remote bike path, we noticed a long stretch of thorny bushes, where a

On Saturday I went to the gym, cycling for 2x30 minutes as usual. Since the gym was being remodeled, I couldn't use any cages, but I could do all the exercises I wanted to do with weights on the floor

The weekend before a three-day heatwave was a good time to be outside. On Saturday I went to the gym, where I enjoyed sweating for other reasons than the weather. I squatted 5kg above my PR and lifted

Yesterday I went to Utrecht Central Station on my bike. I noticed a pop-up stadium on the square in front of the train station. Short bursts of loud music were drowning out the audience's cheers. It sounded
