i am so fucking tired of being broke

as we near the 48 hour period that marks my HRT and sobriety anniversaries, it's time for the post I do every year: if you have ever—for more than six minutes, total—considered that transition and/or sobriety might improve your quality of life, you should try it. your only regret will be waiting.

some of y’all

we sold out of fabric glue and there’s still a day and a half of retail time til halloween

state of california i promise i am normal and can be trusted with TOLUENE!!

the state of california won’t let me buy toluene!!!!!!!!!

It is too on the nose for the most beloved bodega cat in the Mission to get killed by a Waymo. It’s a heartbreaking and deeply cliché entry in the annals of San Francisco gentrification commentary. Delete it, please, and try again. ✍️ @emmaruthless.bsky.social

i gotta get weirder

i’m so off my game though 😑 and in scorpio season, no less

well well well. if it isn’t my old nemesis, the Gay Sex Time Hole Vortex

Also, to connect back to my TPM article, one of the reasons there are so many bad takes is that freelance op-ed writers/newsletter-ers must write constantly to get paid even a little bit, and gets you TAKES rather than considered essays. talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/patro...

depressing as fuck

putting out an SOS cuz i’m mad about naruto again

On the way back from the grocery store today @spicy-yuzu.bsky.social said something like “what is bdsm if not an attempt to make homework more painful” and I

i cannot possibly emphasize enough how uninterested i am in essays about whether "is making my art worth it?" you are thirty or forty years old. make it or don't, write that thing or don't, but grow the fuck up

from a world building perspective nothing goes quite as insane as mangaka giving their characters white people names

Why no general strike? Please ask how long you are willing to strike from your current job? Are you an at-will employee? How much savings do you currently have?

“product” “photos”

affirmations: i do not need alcohol to be insane

is my writing talent wasted on fanfiction and union organizing? or at its highest form of utilization? yes.

my ao3 bookmarks are between me and God okay

i know this isn’t a popular opinion these days but i fucking love plastic

CA EDD give me my moneyyyyyyy

After years of fundraising, @hospitalityhousesf.bsky.social has purchased the 3-story, mid-Market building housing its fine art studio. For artists like SupremeRivi11, the space provides community — but also art supplies and a gallery, things in short supply for low-income San Franciscans.

my friends think that my inability to return texts is bc of my adhd or maybe bc i'm a scorpio... no. i literally just don't like the phone keyboard. i don't like typing on the phone. thumbs too big. want blackberry back

union guys talk too fucking much

Seeking: A couple Bay Area based furries to participate in a fun little @coyotemedia.org project. My DM's are open, hit me up and I can tell you a bit more.

preppers really think the collapse of civilization is going to be about gunning people down to protect their food cache and not like… spending 60% of your time processing bast fibers. like, girl, there aren’t gonna be any clothes

Far too many people in the US are already totally untethered from reality. Enter AI:

the thing about the klein/coates interview is that one has principles and one does not. seems pretty simple to me

from today

gonna cry :)

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

some progressive influencers speak about the onset of fascism in america with the same tone and rhetoric that evangelicals talk about the rapture

same as it ever was

I have a couple of small updates on this story, in case y'all have been wondering about any fallout since its July publication! 🧵

i stg if The Big One™️ happens when i’m at work and i get crushed to death under a million unsecured bolts of 12oz denim u guys better burn that place to the fucking ground

ok maybe the rapture IS real

The Economist article was stealth written by jesse singal? The writer every journalist defends without hesitation who Does Not Hate Trans People. That's so cool why didn't they attribute it to him is there like some sort of negative association with his reporting on the subject

my roommate has a truly uncanny ability to need the bathroom right as i am trying to leave for work

So many people I share spaces and/or identities with really believed they would never be criminalized and are experiencing the horror of the looming system for the first time and yes, it fucking sucks, your response is understandable. But think about how many ppl u know have always lived with this

need to buy a hitachi wand for my TMJ

my birthday is next month (historically a bad time though we can always hope) and i haven’t bought myself anything nice or silly or expensive in probably about 4 years, coincidentally the same amount of time i’ve been employed in retail, and i still won’t be doing that next month either :)

losing my mind now that everyone else finally noticed that ezra klein is stupid

officially Over It regarding my current job

Oh look, that thing that we knew was coming has come closer.

this is exactly why the media’s substack renaissance isn’t gonna work out like people think (hope?) it is
