signing Okamoto is great (although I have questions about what this does for Barger and Clement specifically), but at this point if we don’t re-sign Bichette, I will simply die

Really great @moiradonegan.bsky.social read on the revival of lesbian pulp.

Your duty as an artist is nothing of the fucking sort.

Every loser misfit in America, rich or poor, wants to live in the Matrix where everything is fake and perfect. They can't comprehend why you, a normal person, don't also share this desire.

Important context here: when Peter Thiel and David Sacks began their war on diversity as undergrads at Stanford, thirty years ago, the very first tactic they adopted was to normalize slurs that had already been stigmatized out of mainstream society. This return of these hateful terms was a key goal.

The #Trump administration is pushing back on a lawsuit seeking to ensure that sign language interpreters are included at #WhiteHouse events by suggesting that the accommodation is incompatible with the president's image. #disabilities #accessibility

Stursia effectively going to Laura Peterson’s Montana ranch… I am losing my mind thank you very much

my knees hurt so bad

got my AFO slightly altered and it already hurts so much that I had to rip it out (thank god it was just foam that my orthotist double-sided taped in there and not like we re-molded the AFO) but also I am running out of things to try and it's making me feel really anxious :(

STURSIA SHIPPERS HOW WE FEELIN BECAUSE I AM FEELING ALIVE!!!

Karolina Wydra almost UNSPEAKABLY lovely in this week's Pluribus, oh my goodness.

I had a "raspberry rose" flavoured Poppi the other day and it tasted like someone liquefied a bag of swedish berries/swedish fish, which was...strangely compelling

I know dry needling is supposedly a good treatment for my chronic pain considering I have had benefit from lidocaine injections for my pain, and I understand that we have to feel worse before we fee better, but I’ve been in so much pain I’ve felt like I’m going to throw up for approximately 6 hours

They way he said it also insinuates that disabled people can't have sex, also very outdated views. As writer Summer Tao notes on the sexual education platform @scarleteen.com, “the biggest harm of desexualisation is that it deprives us of our bodily, sexual, and reproductive agency.

A federal judge nominee admitted today that he said during a sermon that disabled people shouldn't get married. As I wrote for @motherjones.com, in fact, many can't out of risk of losing their benefits. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

just opened my notes app to make a list of things I want to do when I go to Chicago and Milwaukee in February (I lived in Wisconsin for 4.5 years for college, I haven’t been back in 8 years) and the first two items are

I hate when I go to the physiatrist and they use the Device on me that measures how much pressure you can take on a body part before you start to feel pain…like there has got to be a better way to do this, right?

considering doing something classically Alethea [extending my trip to the US by one day even though I don’t want to be in the US right now and flying from Chicago to NYC after my best friend’s wedding to see Betsy Wolfe in Death Becomes Her]

idk what I expected from the Toronto Tempo jerseys but I wish there were more of the powder blue in them

painsomnia is back despite me having taken my sleeping pill and in addition to me being literally tired I am also figuratively tired of this

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this there are other, better franchises - let this one go

sometimes I think about how Legally Blonde didn't get a Tony nomination for Best Orchestrations and I am quite simply aghast the trumpet in So Much Better ALONE...

I mean, I know I'm a lesbian, but I don't get what people see in Hudson Williams? putting aside that I've never been attracted to men, I think he's dead behind the eyes in a medium that demands activation of the eyes, he's always monotone, and he sucks the life out of every scene he's in

Stursia shippers how we FEELIN because I am feeling ALIVE

Major League Baseball is hiring for a role that sounds like... global counterterrorism

the bradleylaura fandom within The Morning Show fandom was a hellscape (although I would change very little about the time I spent in it, and I do mean that with complete sincerity) but at least we were all gay and could exist in our bubble separate from the straights of the broader TMS fandom

real thread on r/pluribus: "Carol & Helen: When did you suspect--then know--that they're a couple?" me: um...instantly? how could people NOT see the way Helen looks at Carol when she's doing her reading in the bookstore and not think "LESBIANS!"? and then I remember that straight people are STUPID

the interesting thing about being a dyke on the Pluribus subreddit is that every second post is "Carol is so unlikeable in so many ways" and meanwhile I'm like "my baby with trauma from being sent to conversion camp who watched her wife die in front of her has never done anything wrong, actually"

everybody I know gettin this sweatshirt for xmas

finally some good fucking food

This piece is so great and the inspiration I needed to stop buying dumb shit i don’t really need on Instagram

I feel as if I must be the only person on planet earth who thinks that the boys from Heated Rivalry don’t have any chemistry

this pain nausea is taking me to my knees today (if that were literally possible, because I can’t touch my knee without feeling like I want to die)

okay so I know I HAD to (because I spent too much time this weekend crying to be able to film before tonight) but getting dry needling this morning and filming a dance audition tonight is one of the worst ideas I’ve ever had, ouch ouch ouch I am experiencing SO much knee pain

it intensely angers me every time I open a book PDF in Acrobat and the software reminds me that I’m reading a Long Document and gee, wouldn’t I prefer a summary instead I am not a first grade child who requires the easy-reader version of big kid books, demon machine

sorority sister / lesbian

I’m taping an audition for a production of Legally Blonde today, so I’m standing in front of my closet trying to pick out both a pink sorority sister outfit and an outfit that screams “LESBIAN” (I’m taping for Enid/Ensemble). Luckily, as a high femme lesbian, I own plenty of options for both looks

this goes so fucking hard

Most people are waiting on someone else to be brave enough to say WANT TO BE FRIENDS? LET'S GO PLAY. Evidence: Most of my adult friendships.

crashing out

People don’t understand that stripping the guardrails of regulation and oversight doesn’t just apply to like better business bureau type shit but also like on a practical level when I get into an elevator I expect that it has passed a safety inspection & that type of security will be gone soon

when I worked for the p*ssport office I met a guy whose name on his birth certificate was “Brain”. obviously he was not going by Brain (his name was Brian). it makes me giggle to think about but it really just highlights how stupid the fervour about “what’s the name on your birth certificate?!” is

one day off my antidepressant and I’m already crying in @kennedycatherine.bsky.social’s texts via voice message (to be clear, I did this while I was on antidepressants too, but the reason for crying today was particularly stupid, even for me)

my knee hurts so bad btw

coming off my antidepressant to see if that helps my sleep while simultaneously hoping that this choice doesn't make my chronic pain worse... I love being my own science experiment (profoundly sarcastic)

just tallied up the amount of dates I've been on this year and the results are...grim (this year I've had a 6% chance of going on a date that didn't disappoint me). and it's like...I date women, aren't things supposed to be better than this?

I have zero clarity about how either of these things went btw 😀

if tomorrow doesn’t go well for me on two very specific levels…

I am so. Tired. Of having no continuity of medical care. I am so. Tired. Of the endless stream of referrals.
