-I decided to quit my dayjob. I had more than enough savings to take some months to learn some more math and work on this blog. (Recent experiences had made me more skeptical of earning-to-give as an altruistic intervention. If I didn't trust institutions to do what they claimed to do, there was less reason not to spend my San Francisco software engineering fortune on buying free time for myself.)
+[TODO: ordering DIY hormones, and ordering on Alice Monday's behalf
+ * As part of my distrust for institutions, it made sense to get some DIY hormones, rather than solely being dependent on the legitimate system: I ordered a pack of Progynova - 1 mg (Estradiol) and a pack of ALDACTONE - 25mg (Spironolactone) for myself from AllDayChemist
+ * found out about it from Alice Monday, a young trans woman who wasn't very nice
+ * Alice said something about how every once in a while, someone runs off with the payments database
+ * on 31 March, I ordered some more (5 packs E, 2 packs Spiro) for Alice

+[TODO asking Anna for promise
+ * I ask Anna if she would promise not to contact the authorities; "I don't expect this scenario to come up, but I want to know who I can trust in scenarios where my will comes into conflict with social reality"
+ * she said she'd want to have a more detailed conversation before making such a promise
+ * "that answer is probably more sensible than the "Yes" I was fantasizing about."
