Imagine you have a loaf of crusty bread that's gone stale. No mold, but hard as a rock. You put it under running water & stick it in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 minutes. Now it's soft & delicious as fresh-baked. What strange & wonderful BREAD MAGIC is this?! Let's talk about retrogradation.

I saw a video of the Artemis II launch from a plane this morning and it simultaneously fills my heart with hope and breaks it in half at the same time. This is the cool shit that humans should be doing with our brains; not blowing each other up. Not leaving our neighbours hungry and unhoused.

Maple had her friend Whiskey over this weekend. They are very different sizes (75lbs and 15lbs) but they are good buddies who play very well together. It was abject chaos for the first hour but then they settled down for some relax time.

Universal Basic Income works. It works extremely well because what people need is cash, trust, and dignity, not paternalistic bureaucratic hoops to jump through to exist. And yes we can afford it because the lack of it is very costly. UBI should be seen as an investment with a large expected return.

Like, obviously this is unfair to trans women. I'm not debating that! But it's also deeply unfair to all women! Male athletes don't have to undergo invasive and expensive sex testing. The IOC is literally making it harder for women to compete at the Olympics.

Anyone who claims to be a feminist must call the IOC trans exclusion/mandatory sex-testing policy out for what it is: a massive blow to fairness in women’s sports. It is literally harder for women compared to men today than it was yesterday. That's textbook gender discrimination, baby!!

“Women’s sport does not need this. It needs to be abuse-free…” Good on Semenya for pointing out the fucked-up priorities of the IOC. Nominally targeted at transgender athletes, this will just enable more abuse of ALL women competing at the Olympics.

Man, fuck this. Fuck the Olympics and this transphobic bullshit. Sex is not a binary, never has been, and forcing women to go through genetic testing is archaic and backwards.

If you have your dog off-leash in an on-leash area (and particularly a muddy on-leash area), I am going to do my level best to get your dog as muddy as possible, even at the expense of Maple also getting muddy and needing a bath. I don’t know if that guy learned anything but we had a great time.
