Hacks is the show of all time

Texting my vegan PT friends to ask where they buy tofu and how to exercise my wrist so I don't lose the ability to move it permanently.

For real though, where in northern NJ can I buy tofu in bulk? #vegansky

My surgeon said I need to eat more protein and suddenly the only thing I want to eat is a Modern Love hot honee tofu sandwich.

I want to eat so much tofu right now. @isachandra.bsky.social send help and hot honee tofu sandwich.

Toad took all of the buttons out of his pockets.

and it’s VERY MUCH terrible journalism to just say taco bell when it’s like, everywhere. taylor farms is everywhere. like, with the state of food safety in this country the people covering it should be digging into shit a little deeper

Anti trans people have been winning for years, and it’s ridiculous that they can’t accept what and who they are. You ARE anti rights. That’s what you are- you’ve removed rights from trans people. Pretending it’s for womens’ benefit is clearly bollocks

I'm from rural america, I hate rural america with my entire ass, and also they like everyone else deserve food and health care and shelter like it's not hard, a better world for everyone means everyone including people I hate

NYC libraries are giving out masks if you need one for the wildfire smoke. (You do need one.) gothamist.com/news/nyc-lib...

The more I watch The X-Files the more I believe Mulder is a lesbian.

Leave autistic people alone!

Don't fall for this. Rowling wants trans people to self censor and to stop sharing the report. If this report really was as defamatory as she claims, she wouldn't be cheering on its spread. What she really wants is a costly settlement from AI UK, humiliating apology, and permanent silence.

I had an encouraging appointment with my surgeon this morning. Friday's repair surgery is now scheduled for the 28th so I can heal more on my own first. The receptionist looked like she wanted to hug me when I came in.

Proving that I am not anti-human rights by suing one of the world’s most prominent human rights organizations

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

I was in the ER last night with a wound vac complication and having the dressing removed was easily the worst pain of my life even after max doses of both tylenol and oxy. For some reason I kept picturing my 17th birthday cake and described it to the doctor while she worked.

I am very intentionally lying to my entire family when they ask how healing is going because I'm the only out trans person they know and I want them to continue supporting gender affirming care. Responsibilities.

I have been having actual dreams about eating large amounts of banana pudding. Last night I dreamed I was at a wedding and the entire buffet was banana pudding. Someone pls send me banana pudding.

Having bottom surgery in the middle of summer is not something I'd recommend unless you have a lot of indoor space to walk around for air conditioned pantsless light exercise

yeah i mean my worst colleagues didn't start wars though, they were mostly just rude in emails or things like that

Amy Klobuchar’s eulogy for Lindsey Graham was 390 words long. This was 390 more words than she has said in support of trans people

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

If you live your life in such a way that other people will be safer when you die--that they would have more food, health care, be less likely to be killed in a war or by a gun at school or home...did you forget you were going to die someday? Whatever you believe, the balance always comes due.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

I’m not sure where this writing discourse is coming from lately, the one about how you have to leave your city, house, bed to have experiences to write stuff people want to read, but it’s ablest as fuck and also demonstrably untrue. Start with this amazing piece: sickmagazine.org/bed

Bottom surgery recovery is really hard!

Not to be an overschiever but I may be having complications at BOTH main surgical sites

Updates: I found out that I'm going to be in the wound vac for 12 additional days and I am bummed about it because my left arm and hand are essentially useless. I can really only read on a tablet or watch tv. I started watching The X-Files for the first time and I already love it.

I am tired and sore and my hand is so swollen that it's basically useless.

that the new york fucking times would think they even get to be in the same room as an opinion about the meaning of queerness in the first place is a level of hubris that used to earn you a custom punishment in the afterlife

I'm having a rough morning on the surgery recovery front and this and 1989 (tv) in my headphones is how I am dealing with it

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

Watching The Birdcage (1996) for the first time

Me when I change my reading font to Open Dyslexic and now I can read at a nom-frustrating pace with the same level of comprehension

First time outside since I came home from the hospital on Tuesday!

Using my medical leave to apply for jobs so I don't have to go back to the job I'm taking medical leave from and could maybe actually do something in my field with my degree.

First post-op mirror selfie hello

Last night during a bad storm I was afraid the power would go out and I wouldn't be able to charge my wound vac but the power did not go out AND the fireworks show in my area is canceled. #blessed

If anyone wants to see gnarly photos of my left forearm after a radial forearm flap phalloplasty pls DM me

I just signed up. @thesicktimes.org is doing such important work. Check them out.

whyyyy do i continually get misgendered on the phone after almost six years on testosterone

What do you do when your cat who is afraid of your wound vac machine noises is finally brave enough to sit in your lap again except your brand new [redacted] is also in your lap and has to be at a very specific angle and Not Stepped On but the cat is so perfect and sweet. Asking for a friend.
