I stopped eating junk food several years ago. I just learned pizza tacos exist. Somebody tell me they aren't as good as they look, please.

Yeah, if I were to attempt these, I'd precook the ground beef so I could drain it appropriately, then try to assemble and finish the pepperoni and cheese under like a low broil. But I'd cook the beef itself relatively unseasoned in the hopes that either mixing it with pizza sauce or layering pizza sauce between the beef and cheese would tie everything together flavor-wise.
I'd also skip the pepperoni entirely because it gives me nightmarish heartburn, but that's neither here nor there.

been feeling better about my muscles lately
My mother (who is cis) was a landscaper for most of her career, and the fact that she was more jacked than anyone else in the family because of it was always a genuine point of pride. It didn't stop her from looking good in a dress either (although occasions she felt like fully dressing up for were few and far between.)
My point being, even if your muscles were to stay looking the way they are in this picture, I think that's perfectly okay. Strength is absolutely not exclusive to any gender, and having muscle definition doesn't make you less of a woman. But for the record, I do think your muscles will become less prominent with time. Give it five years. If you are less than a year into your transition now, that's hardly any time at all (even though I am sure there are so many other ways where it is also, equally validly, feeling like a really long time!)

Omegle Was Forced to Shut Down by a Lawsuit From a Sexual Abuse Survivor
I don't intend to victim blame or defend any abusers here; this shit is vile and should not be tolerated, period.
From the below, it sounds like it was determined that, despite Omegle's moderation efforts, Omegle could have done better in areas relating to age verification and matchmaking. So I'm not trying to defend or minimize Omegle's role either, I don't know the details of how the site worked but it sounds like this was a problem for a long time:
the judge in A.M.’s case found last July that Omegle’s design was at fault and it was not protected by Section 230: It could have worked to prevent matches between minors and adults before sexual content was even sent, the judge said.
Her lawsuit, filed in 2021, alleged that she met a man in his thirties on Omegle who forced her to take naked photos and videos over a three-year period. She was just 11 when it began in 2014.
Again, to be clear, not trying to say that the victim should, or even could, have done anything differently. Victim blaming is bad. But how the hell are they saying "forced" to do something by some scumbag over the internet? What kind of conditions does a kid have to be in at home to feel like they can't turn to their parent/guardian for help in a terrifying situation like that? How is an 11-year-old in 2014 being allowed to get into that situation in the first place, between her parents and her school?
It seems like this victim was failed by every support system she should have been able to rely on. This is so messed up. This is exactly why we need things like sex education and Internet safety education.

It's real dangerous to look at someone seeking legal representation and take that as an implication of guilt.
Not defending Mr Beast at all, I'm sure there is no shortage of actual evidence of wrongdoing
