(about byron and shelley) it's always two bitches with bipolar disorder telling each other "exaaactly"

The world is a scary place right now for trans people (& journalism is cratering, too). If you would like to support an independent trans journalist doing anti-establishment sports reporting, I would super appreciate if you subscribed to my newsletter (now on Beehiiv!).

dawg no I take one of those

it's crazy how iron supplements can fuck you up. i got mine from the pharmacy so they came with a little pamphlet about the very specific ways in which they should be taken. meanwhile people are just rawdogging the over the counter ones. where is the law

Chicago come through

I am lowkey writing an essay about how people hate when doctors diagnose them with anxiety despite the fact that anxiety is one of the most powerful illnesses of all time. It’s the only illness that can physically manifest itself. It’s the mental health equivalent of an autoimmune disorder

We'll have a lil noodle (sorry) on Mike Gundy up shortly at @channel6.bsky.social; to tide you over here's an interview we did last year after he put his house on the market with @katewagner.wehwalt.net ($) channel-6.ghost.io/enter-mike-g...

should i get another dog

Cass Sunstein is a cowboy name. Get that man to a ranch

even the high lifted and chivalric Crusaders of old times were not content to traverse two thousand miles of land to fight for their holy sepulchre, without committing burglaries, picking pockets, and gaining other pious perquisites

tangentially speaking it’s so funny that the Germans called the Holy Roman Empire the thousand year reich. Like yeah, I guess that’s technically true. I also guess cheese whizz is technically cheese.

I hate to inform you that telling your iPhone to remind you to drink water every hour actually works

Very bleak – almost none of the three or four bedrooms per unit (!) have proper windows. They look out onto tiny light wells with no view, little natural light. Total lack of consideration for urban quality of life from politicians, planners & building officials chicago.urbanize.city/post/full-bu...

everybody wanna act hard until it's time to do hard guy shit bsky.app/profile/cult...

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/e...

i hope the rapture is tomorrow bc i have mad deadlines

catching up with the world championships and wow i've never seen pog this cooked

worked today for the first time in a month please clap

(guy who discovered lithium therapy voice) what if the secret to manic-depression is piss

I’m always telling people that Baruch Spinoza “canceled his cancelers where it really mattered: in his own mind”

it's crazy how we forgot 9/11 this year

Tolkien chose a more Christian/Devilish framework for evil in his lands— it just…is, based in its resentment of the good. Wagner, whether in Alberich’s spurning by the maidens, or the cursed incest of Siegmund and Sieglinde, keeps erotic forces involved in the churn of life’s powers and interests.

Tolkien’s ancient Catholic soul was trying to over-correct from Richard Wagner’s uhhh choices about sexuality in the Ring Cycle

When I collect all the cats in neko atsume I am going to start naming them all after characters from the ring cycle

does anyone (esp if you’re a woman) have a good GP in Chicago? I’ve been seeing nothing but nurse practitioners for years but that’s obvs not gonna cut it anymore

brain came completely back online today but seemingly at the expense of my body. I guess yesterday’s laundry was a bit too much. trying to figure out pacing but it seems to be trial and error

Probs my fav Robert Redford movie (and also a fascinating early use of the all-seeing surveillance computer as plot device.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_D...

so eventually I will have to go back to work bc I’ve been on bed rest for a month now which is more than most people can afford to do — other than pacing does anyone have any post-Covid tips

tfw it takes 2-3 weeks and not 24 hours for vitamin b and iron supplements to work

Lol my brain really isn’t ever going to be normal again is it

was I uhh not supposed to take adhd meds when I had covid

@vanmusicmag.bsky.social has given me permission to be frothingly horny on main about two dead tenors van-magazine.com/mag/best-int...

Social media was once positioned as the great connecting force that would improve our world. If it ever did that, it certainly isn’t now. We must rein in these platforms, and deceptive narratives aimed at stopped regulation isn’t helping. Age restrictions are an experiment worth trying.

missing nigh 3 weeks of work to the Rona….how to tackle My Emails

I love that I have “oops all mixed states” bipolar disorder. they should call it bipolar 3

the skeleton key to understanding these people is that they genuinely think you are a drone who will do what you’re told if the TV says it

literally me right now

>go to doctor >run blood work >tests show iron and B12 deficiency >QED brain fog

bouncing between two levels of thinking on this. from 30,000 feet he's flailing and not successfully consolidating power; this is an extremely damaging but doomed effort. but at the level of individual citizen there's a stochastic risk that your ticket gets punched during one of his power grabs

dawg I took 5g of creatine this morning and today is that day

This has been the project all along and publications like the WSJ, the Times, and the Atlantic are active enablers because of the way they choose to report on and talk about trans people!

I sincerely commend @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social , @maxread.info and @edwardongwesojr.com for managing to avert an increasingly common descent into madness despite spending untold hours in the absolute dreck of the internet for the purposes of public enlightenment. They’re basically war correspondents

Kids who, for all we know, may never see their parents again. Entire families slipping between the cracks of an increasingly exterminationist federal and state system.

It’s easy to remain level headed and calm when you don’t see your family being destroyed with every single one of these.

Seems like “you can’t buy homeowner’s insurance on your house anymore because there are too many floods and fires” would be a kitchen-table issue

one day my brain will work again

what are the best idle games? (eg neko atsune) I need to chill out
