Hello fedi!
Can anyone recommend a trans voice trainer in Berlin that works with the Krankenkasse?
Thank you!
it's #LongCovidAwarenessDay and i don’t think i have posted the whole of what this thing has done to me in one place, so here it is.
Yesterday my dad asked if i had “gotten over” long covid yet. uh, no, i’m afraid not. it doesn’t work that way.
i got covid in january of 2022. we had been very careful but we are at risk because of my partner’s retail job. he masks at work and we rely so hard on that mask. it is really scary to worry about getting it again. retail workers should get hazard pay.
it messed up my lung capacity and i lost my ability to sing. it is still not 100% but is better than it was. i used to enjoy singing into my synths but i had to stop and learn to make sounds other ways. i was in choir for years, singing was something i really enjoyed. but also, even just singing in the car, singing a stupid little song to the cat, were too hard. i was out of breath. it felt like a big part of me was taken away.
it messed up my emotional regulation and ability to control my temper for about a year and a half. it was very, very scary. like i was one of the Flying Wallendas walking across a tightrope and a guide wire snapped. Swinging from 0-100 at the drop of a hat. Ruining my relationships.
i’m often in a fog and struggle to deal with everyday stuff. a lot of things that were on my to-do list in early 2022 are still waiting on the list.

In the spirit of "you can't get what you don't ask for" and "trying to be more positive about online community just like the old days", I have an immodest proposal for kind Mastodonians in Spain, France, Germany, and other European countries I might pass through.
I start in València and need to move on starting March 30, eventually arriving in Freiburg im Breisgau on April 23, then back to Albania. I'm somewhat flexible about where I go in between using my Eurail pass.
red red black - things have been going great but watch out! don't rest on your laurels
hearts hearts spades - family/relationship/emotional troubles, something going sour
10 of hearts - harmonious family, marriage, spouse
ace of hearts - again family, the house/home. a new relationship or addition to the family, be it a birth or marriage. new house.
7 of spades - obstacles upon obstacles, tears and frustration, something unclear.
an obvious one would be a young family looking to find a bigger house for their expected growth (first child or another child, or just looking to buy a place of their own to consolidate their households, although no diamonds so maybe not buying) and having a tough go of it. since it's the heart that's troubled, maybe they're not on the same page about children or how they want their future to look, or what they want from their family home. the road ahead is suddenly unclear and their joy is under threat. i feel like we don't have breakup cards because a pregnancy might already be under way, hence the distress and lack of a clear way forward. they do love each other and have been rather conventional so far, maybe there needs to be more communication and less assumption about how things "usually" go, or "should" go...
the building blocks:
black red black - temporary respite
spades diamonds spades - money troubles
9 of spades - change for the worse
queen of diamonds - could be a spender or a money savvy person, businesswoman, accountant? "money truth" kind of points to that, together with the 8 being, like, "thoughts on a subject" - might be knowledgeable. also with the spades around - she knows the law, even if she herself is not a legal councilor.
8 of spades - worries, oppression, or some kind of negative group-interactions.
putting it all together:
the querent has been dealing with money troubles and things have finally turned bad enough to seek professional help - an accountant or a financial advisor, or maybe someone from the bank. while a good move, it won't be enough to solve the situation. the expert looking over the most recent fuck-up (she's looking at the 9) brings to light more worrying details, complexities or consequences that will need sorting out.
i want to say not all is lost, as it's not three black cards and we have two good signs - the advisor, and the diminishing of the spades from a 9 to an 8. a small diminishing, but kind of a relief, lessening the burden.
