I find the backdrop of the scene humorous, the almost-cheerful "going out of business!" and taking a selfie across from it.

"FURNITURE STORE! I have the high ground! Behold my power!"

On a more serious note, nice picture! Keep being awesome! (and if you walk into more elevators, you should name each one if you want to snapshot your adventures, I personally think "Furn" would be appropriate as the name for the one you used to get up there)

oooh that sounds really fun. we did actually come across a couple other elevators but we were kinda tired, we'll definitely give it a go in the future hehe

That’s near the Salem Center, I think.

Hell, me and @brookedSmile@lemmy.blahaj.zone could come down there if you wanted to hang out with us! I know some good places to eat.

that sounds awesome! if we're ever back in that area or out traveling again in general we may give you a heads up (although trips like this are very very rare for us fyi)

I’m looking at $20,000 to undo the damage of my depressed non trans youth 😭

I wish I sound my voice would be as feminine as you :3

tyty :D

if you're looking for a word of advice (if you're not then we sincerely apologize for bugging you!) ours would be to "think out loud". instead of reading something silently, maybe read it out loud. or when thinking about where furniture should go, dictate your thoughts verbally. perhaps give a "g'day" or "howdy" to a passerby when walking or on the bike if that's socially acceptable where you live.

Not bugged at all. Thank you. You're right. Oddly enough I think I do sound more feminine in english than in french. Probably because speaking English was already a work on the voice and is easier to modulate since it required training.

However the mother tongue is harder because the prosody is so deeply anchored.

Dysphoria is hitting hard right now and hearing myself out loud wouldn't help but I'll try more when the mood is right.

oh yes, being multilingual absolutely makes voice training so much harder because you have to train each language separately D:

interestingly i've had the opposite experience with regard to native language being harder to voice train in - i've found it much easier to sound fem in English (my native language) than either high German or Swiss German. maybe English is just an inherently easier language for voice training :)
