Headed to my appointment. Please please please let everything go smoothly. I need this

Earlier I was falling asleep sitting up and now I can't settle down. Always the way. Tomorrow I have an early appointment for a passport application so hopefully I get sleepy soon 🤞 and also hopefully it all goes smoothly tomorrow

“And there he is, folks. Dead as a doornail. Low energy. He died as he lived. Not as important as me. Me. Now that’s something worth talking about isn’t it?” *crowd cheers* “Let’s be real, folks. Who are you really here for?” *crowd chants TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP* “Right. So enough about that dork…”

shake the mothballs and dust out of yr cardigans and prepare the decorative gourds, motherfuckers

A chat with my darling (and listening to/watching a big thunderstorm outside her house!) and then D&D. Balm for my bruised spirit. Hard to find words for how much it means to have someone who will be there with me and sit with me and listen to me when I'm hurting. A refuge from the dark and cold.

Well today took a turn for the dogshit, but I might as well post a picture I took before that happened. I'll be smiling like this again soon, I know it. (And I fixed my hair right after taking this)

Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary or vice versa. The number who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, precisely *one* kid shifted in this way.

The sapphic impulse to make her a nice breakfast just because you know she'd have a better day if she was properly fed Also to give her a little snack to put in her bag so if she gets peckish she has something and can think about you too cooked, cooked, cooked

Literally just saw someone mention Stardew Valley and dang it all

Timeline is almost entirely sports so doing this before scrounging up dinner

My friend referred to chili he was making for putting on top of chili dogs/burgers/etc. as "topping chili", which made me ask him what the logical name for the type of chili that you top with other things would be

Having kind of a quiet, less-online day in today. Did a solid chunk of cleaning, did some reading. Didn't shave, it's cool. Some fall clothes I ordered weeks ago arrived, including this velvety jacket/cardigan. I dig it. Gotta do laundry, having brunch with my folks tomorrow. Life goes on.

Post a female character you like I almost named myself after Maureen "Mo" Corley from Full Throttle. I idolized her as a kid. Whole lot of Gender there. I would love a sequel just to give her more depth. It wasn't a very long game.

Cat being very affectionate, coming up and nuzzling me, putting the paw, purring, etc. and I was wondering why. Then I realize "oh, right. morning. she wants food." You know you're training me to delay feeding you, right, sweetie? (It is not actually breakfast time for her yet anyway)

And then she does the "butt too big" and waits for me to lift her onto the bed

Dug up the coffee break roguelike I made back in 2022 for 7DRL & I am kind of proud of past me? There's balance problems (I was rebalancing and adding stuff when I ran out of gas, by which I mean oxygen) & it's not finished but I made all my own art, the core mechanic is cool, & some neat writing

Taking Smells seriously enough that I am going through my big bag of perfume samplers and wearing them one per day and writing notes and observations in my little journal. Today's note is "smells p. good"

Been making a habit of having tom yum for lunch that's so spicy I need to have a lie down and I do not regret it one bit

Need more skirts

Me going out to get a package off the porch and then seeing a kitty on the sidewalk

I have to speak my truth: you can't call Zack Polanski "Hypnoboobs" Calling him "Hypnotits" is funny because it's a reference to the fact that he once claimed hypnosis can make breasts bigger and, crucially, it sounds like "hypnosis" "Hypnoboobs" does not sound like it, it doesn't work Thank you

Huh, my feet feel like they're not quite touching the ground. Funny thing, that

Being trans is awesome. Sincerely I don't like what powerful people want to *do* about us being trans, but I love being trans. Transitioning is the single best decision I have made in my life, and there are very few that come close. (And at least one of those, I never would have made if I hadn't.)

I may have three times as many meetings today and half as much sleep as usual, and I may be forming sentences in ways not conducive to successful communication (the usual intended effect of sentences), but, hell, at least I look cute today. yes this is my second selfie today shut up okay??

It's really noticeable that the only misconduct that the media considers truly worthy of ending a career is plagiarism, i.e. cheating other journalists

Caught myself looking pretty intense while listening to someone talk about the npm worm

Howl at the summit to just keep 'em coming

I wanted complete anonymity (whoops) and wanted the QAnon people I argued with to think I was a bot. So my avatar was a light refraction diagram and my display name was "Beneficent Prism", and I wrote with as little affect as possible. Didn't last long, I started making friends

World is cold. Heart is warm. Have strength, everyone. Hold each other up.

I wish we lived in much more boring times. I want to live a quiet, happy life. I want the kind of stuff I support my loved ones through to be like "I twisted my ankle so I can't go to the concert" and "the cake I baked turned out terribly", not existential threats and the fear of oppression.

Every company, organization, and institution that bent the knee to Trump should cease to exist in the next administration. Roll them up and shut them down, give their assets to people who remained loyal to democracy

As I get older this seems more and more obvious to me

Box breathing while listening to some non-stressful talking (thanks darling 💙) helped get a bit of fuel back in the tank. Then some idle chit-chat with my roommate while stretching and rolling my back against a convenient column (I have columns in my house, AMA). Still tired. But we're gonna win.

Yeah I am fucking steamrolled tonight. My mind might be stronger these days but my heart is still working on it. And for once I'm not talking about feelings, I mean my literal heart, which some days just doesn't want to do its job as well as it should. No gas in the tank, flat on my back.

Fuzzy headed, sore, grumpy, bone tired. Sniffly and a little short of breath (this is an anxiety symptom, don't worry). Bad sleep and stress catching up with me, I guess. And today was my easy day. Tomorrow is jam packed.

Radio is a sound salvation Radio is cleaning up the nation They say you better listen to the voice of reason But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason So you had better do as you are told You better listen to the radio

Listening to mbv (2013) and my goodness what a record album for those of us who like Noises and Sounds of many varieties

Here: I like to flip my hamburger upside down on the plate, but then flip it rightways up again when I bring it to my mouth. Isn't that weird? Shouldn't I go directly to jail etc.? Wouldn't that be a much more entertaining Discourse? Come at me, I'm right here!

It's one thing for people on here to bicker for a day plus on some topic, but this might be the most pointless thing for people to fight about that I've seen so far, and I'm including "is English food good"

This print is goddamn incredible

one of my silly takes is that truth is actually a core liberal value--truth, not relativism--and what demsas argues here is absolute capitulation to pure relativism sure bad ideas are as important to teach as good ones lies as important as truth surely this will allay all attacks on universities,

As I've slowly personalized this account (back when I started it I tried to avoid letting anything on about my identity, gender or otherwise, real "brain in a jar" shit), I've wondered about changing my avatar and display name. I used to do it every month or so. This one has been a lot stickier.

I try not to be corny on main — okay, that is a lie, but I try not to do it too much — that is a lie too. Anyway: tfw you're a big computer game history buff and it turns out your Gen X girlfriend knows a bunch of the old games you love because she played them at the time (I am cooked, y'all)

Few people know that when Horst Wessel was murdered, his assassin Albrecht Höhler had written "no soap radio" on the bullet casings

Oh, good, Rev posted it so I can just drop the chat log (I should clarify that the joke here is that Superman phantom zoned me in a fit of jealous pique. I am a Nice Lady, anyone can tell you that)

In a comics Discord I just did a bit about hitting on transfemme Jimmy Olsen that ended with the line "Aw fuck, can I get HRT in the Phantom Zone?"

npm supply chain attack meant a big backup in CI/deploys at work today, I'm working entirely on design doc stuff, I'm super tired and stressed out and sad, energy level at 0 percent. I think that's a wrap for me. Time to get horizontal and indulge in only the most trifling of matters until I feel OK

Fixed em 🫡
