Ladybird can’t get here fast enough.

I've spent all day struggling to write a single page of a popular science article. I bang away at a word processor; give up; start diagramming on paper. Take some notes; draft a few sentences in pen; return to the computer...and very slowly I figure out what I was trying to say in the first place.

This is bad right?

Is he referring to himself in the third person now?

Bloodless injection day, going to be a good week!

I hate that this isn’t an unreasonable precaution.

Kavanaugh can be heard in the background saying “There is no harm in having non-independent government agencies.”

My dad messaged me the day after the election and didn’t like that I was offended he voted for someone that wanted me dead and/or out of society. I gave him a chance to patch things up a couple months later and got lectured for correcting him misgendering and deadnaming me. C’est la vie.

Want!

This is transmedicalist because it made me cry. Am I doing the tumbler discourse right?

I should create a sound board for work and one of the first entries will be “s3 prefixes are not directories and thinking about them like they are will get you in trouble.”

The way the administration is going to the matt over Abrego Garcia is insane. At this point they are just proving that they can do whatever it is that they want to do.

Hyper inflation baaaaaybeee.

It's hard to talk about this without buying-in to stigmatizing trans bodies, but there's a really cruel part hiding here: The effects of dual puberty (what you force by banning blockers) are the exact elements of trans bodies that cis people later use to justify discrimination against trans folks.

The grift economy is based on the customer never knowing who they are buying from or what they are buying from that unknown entity. An unclear chain of responsibility means that it’s impossible to push back against the abuse. And “going somewhere else” is just coming in a different door.

The one that gets me is closing tabs in Safari is two extra clicks. Why are you doing this to me Apple?

yeah it's almost like trans people are ... people. i dunno. it's really tiresome, the way our healthcare gets sectioned off as if we're special. we're fucking not, is the actual truth. nothing about our healthcare is controversial—one way we know this is cis folks avail themselves of most of it too.

What should be added to the bill for protection: 1. Any cash purchases apply to deductibles 2. Intercompany charges from providers must be at Medicare pricing (end MLR gaming) 3. Drugs must be priced at net during deductible phase 4. Declaration that drug rebates are paid by sickest patients

The treasury department should offer digital payment processing. The state of things now is that cash has been supplanted by digital payments and a core function of the government, providing currency, has become a haven for rent seeking. Brazil did it, we can do it.

Capitalism!

New proposal: Any game containing micro transactions is automatically classified as gambling.

Monday shot day people don’t forget your shot… because I almost did.

I have typed and deleted my thoughts about six times because it's against the rules to speak out against a government that is seeking to eliminate me and people like me from the country

This isn’t a joke. That’s from the actual report. These people shouldn’t be in charge of a McDonalds.

The last election in Texas was a whole pile of ballot propositions to further eliminate the ability for governments to raise funds. The only thing Texas does is build highways it seems.

Does anyone have video of Trump running on the golf course

There is not one thing in this image that is right.

Not to get too “well actually” here but firing a shoulder mounted RPG from a huey would be one of the ways to kill everyone on the helicopter.

Maybe three people will know who this is and that makes you hashtag cool.

Oh good, the president is saying “reverse migration” now.

talking to other girls and it's the epistemicide that we really curse: if we'd only had the words, the concepts, the reality of what being a trans woman actually was we would have recognized ourselves/transitioned much earlier

Reading Queen of Shadows thinking why am I supposed to care about this witch storyline? Then back story reveal and hooooly fuck. Those are some feels.

This is the conclusion I end up getting to when trying to suggest changing anything.

No one gets to tell me about character limits. I do what I want.

Cars are 26 times more deadly than trains and 75 times more deadly than busses. How about we discourage car ownership so that transportation will be both more affordable and safer.

The setup for this Chubbyemu is so awful. Terrifying.

Oh this thing that has been treasured for generations? Let’s make it into a creepy simulacrum to save a buck.

Google was already dead when they started optimizing for ad revenue over the accuracy of the search results. Everything else is just coating it in another layer of feces.

Drivers are too stupid to slow down and not run into things so we have to do it the more expensive and dangerous way.

It’s not fraud in the technical sense, just the practical sense is a distinction that you’re allowed to make I guess.

Just read the Euclid v Ambler and it’s just NIMBY bullshit. Think of the children, we design around cars so everything follows, poor people (read black people) might come here sometimes or horror of horrors actually live here.

Only poor people want multifamily housing so put it on the worst land. Then burden it with parking minimums to kill its economic viability. Then ban commercial activity on the same lot to justify the parking minimums and putting them on arterial’s. Euclid v. Ambler was a mistake.

I’m going to be sick…

Pirating books makes you an asshole, full stop. There's no debate to be had here. You either pay for books and support the author, borrow them from a library, or don't read. Those are your options.

Being an expert that has spent all of 4 hours in Jersey. Fuck Jersey.

We’ve automated lying. Absolute bullshit can be spewed faster than it can be read, never mind fact checked.

Consenting adults can don what they want I guess, but at 40ish dating someone that hasn’t even established a career yet would be weird. I can imagine how foreign an early 20 something will be when I’m 20 years older.
