Keep your goths in mind on this difficult morning as the days start to get longer.

(at the grocery store) "chickpea..." (wistfully staring off into the middle distance) "I sure hope she does... wherever she is, now..."

chilling to know the serial killer who lived here was probably just walking around among the townies and college students for god knows how long

Beef with the United States Postal Service rescinded, it took an extra week from when they imaged it on Informed Delivery but the bastards finally brought me my new insurance cards and (now cancelled/reordered) credit cards

lmao. It's a Lab Tech Party over at the main lab tonight. no med techs on the schedule. all lab techs. 's fine I'm sure they've got things covered maybe better than if it were all med techs

Expensive but very much worth it on the door replacement front: it is Howling windy out there tonight and for the first time in years I don't hear the front door shuddering on its hinges with every gust

so fucked up that anabolic steroids work like that, huh

The reality is that most of the healthcare needs of trans people are entirely straightforward and routine and there is no medical reason why they cannot be met by their GPs like everyone else's are.

HAPPY XMAS all! x x

For fuck's sake. another god damned plague upon my house

it's so fucked up that by far the most effective (and most painful) stretching exercise my occupational therapist ever gave me is just. extend your arm and put your hand flat against the wall, parallel to your shoulder. and keep it there. oh it hurts so bad

We're writing the UM regents! Please join us! Management's disgraceful offer is both less than what we have received the last three years without a union (11.35%) & significantly less than what other unions on campus have gotten in their first contracts (~17%). UM staff deserve better!

Some people may notice it's like, a trend these days for foods to advertise how much protein is in them and wonder who the hell is that for. Sorry, they are doing that for Me Actually, I'm bad at eating enough to maintain my meager muscle mass so when I see something with 20-30g I'm easily persuaded

seeing a goth trans girl at the gas station in a one-stoplight town is kinda like seeing an endangered bird of paradise, also at the gas station in a one-stoplight town

Reminder, etc

STOP EVERYTHING, NEW US CSB VIDEO the best use of my tax dollars, succinct clear animations showing industrial disasters youtu.be/35FkCArjLU0

I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO GRETCHEN FELKER MARTIN

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

ok this is getting to a point of not just absurdity but like, risking our good standing with our regulatory body. I am doing things I am Not trained nor signed off to do bc there is nobody in the lab scheduled who knows how to do these time sensitive daily setups

whys the wife macguffin in RE7 kinda look like Ted Cruz

Like a cinderella thing. Found a fursuit head lying on the ground outside the bar. But whose...

much like Latin is just The Language of the church and French was just The Language of British courts for a few centuries, I think LatAm Spanish is just The Language of Goth. If you want to talk about or document goth stuff in any serious capacity it has to be in Spanish

I don't go here (writing, fandom, writing for fandom) so whenever I get a whiff of something like people accusing each other of plagiarism when they're talking about... video game chatroom roleplay fanfiction, I know that there is more under heaven and earth than is dreamt of in my philosophies

you should be watching porn on public transit if you aren't already

presented without comment

lately I've had such a persistently unscratchable restless itch in my brain, and exercising hasn't really helped and neither has reading new books, but I just had the thought "maybe this is like... an Overall Understimulation thing" followed by "maybe I need to get back into rhythm games"

my personal Mamdani's free buses-esque shoot-for-the-stars liberal quality of life reform project is I think we need to build huge, huge quantities of sheer concrete Soviet bloc-style complexes, enough that every single person is entitled to a simple, bare-bones studio or 1-bed State Apartment

oh I'm so pleased with this flannel. I hate that sometimes... expensive things... are better

good electronic music should sound rlly fucking scary

ok which one'a you put Beezy's back on google maps. Don't yank my chain like that, they've been gone for like 5 years

putting the 30 minute a day timer on my social media, while objectively a net positive, I think is going to drive me a little insane for the short or long term

any butches up tryin to get objectified

can't raise my arms above my head In My Own Home, because I'll be objectified

man. you can't even get mansplaining organically anymore, the guys who used to mansplain are all outsourcing it to chatGPT

bold of google to be like "ooh if you don't let our AI crawl all over your shit ad infinitum you'll miss out on Smart Features like inbox sorting~" when their inbox sorting has been busted and getting worse for months. Past few weeks they've been letting extremely obvious spam go straight through

as always on the subject of Detransitioners: this Is a competition and I Am beating all the other detransitioners at it. Pathetic. 4 months is nothing! It's nothing! My period hadn't even come back yet by that point and even when it did I remained not even half as annoying

nothing but respect for MY Vice President (Michigan JD Vance)

Every day, I get such use out of this tiny 200$ phone

nobody talk to me for the next, like, week or so. Nick's Boots discontinued the Blackout line and didn't even warn me first. I specifically emailed them like 2 years ago to ask how long I had to scrounge up like $600 (not inflation adjusted) for a pair and they assured me it would be a Long time

Fuck DTE, always

lrt I knew I was right to get a real Suica card and not just the tourist card. long live the penguin

a few more I found. (Interesting that several of these tweets really think JR East has gone downhill since Covid and this is just one in a pattern)

Japanese twitter taking the Suica penguin news very normally

random but 100% serious q: it is almost 12:30 at night. does anyone want to Hang Out

everyone who has to work today still are the real veterans 🫡 let go get em troops
