My voice trainer said something to me in a session a few weeks back that really stuck with me. When talking about where I use my voice she remarked that every transfem she teaches normally only has online friends. And like she works for my local trans healthcare clinic so most of the people she works with probably only live an hour or two away from each other at most and still we (for whatever reason) can only find other people to talk to online :(

A sambar deer grazes on the edge of a forest adjacent to Singapore’s Central Catchment Nature Reserve. The deer is considered vulnerable to extinction in its native territories of the Indian subcontinent and south-east Asia. However, in Australia, where the species was introduced in the 1860s, numbers have grown to the point where some conservation groups consider them a pest
