Today is my first day back to work after 7 months off. Today I am Big Bird.

Hasn’t stopped him yet.

It’s brisk this morning. This is -9.4 F so even Imperial is asking wtf.

There are two kinds of hair ties in the world, those you can find and wear, and those that cease to exist the moment you remove them. I’ll let you decide where I stand.

DnD Update. Kobolds and Draconian’s Dead. But there is now a Black Dragon…

In person D&D night!!

"Let’s get one thing clear, Santa: I ain’t a scab. The collective bargaining agreement clearly mandates the sleigh be led by a union-approved eight-reindeer team. Your little 'won’t you guide my sleigh tonight' routine is a bald attempt to dilute the team’s negotiating power."

Say what you will about Avatar, but it always fulfills on its core mandate: To watch greedy, heartless, corporate (mostly white) colonizers consumed by wild animals en masse.

Bad Guys 2 was delightful chaos.

I just got up to 31 lb Isolated Hammer Curls reps of 5,4. Omg that was nuts. Note this is after 2 TrX Pelican curls and 2 isolated bicep curls. Can’t move arms, can only hug.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

They ain’t wrong.

Been playing this fun game where you escort a city on wheels and build it out with upgrades throughout the run as encroaching hoards overwhelm. Also dirt cheap Indy store.steampowered.com/app/2934220/...

Today’s leg day I’m trying a lot of new exercises. Trying to improve mobility in my hips/back and force engagement on weaker muscles like my Hamstrings. Try different things, see what feels best for my body and bring into the future routine.

In case you need to cleanse the brain, here is my cat under her own ornament

Also today ! These are hard AF. www.instagram.com/reel/DSYHOGw...

Survived Push Day !! This past year is the first time I’ve felt not skinny my whole life. Looking pretty good for 48 !!

Been rewatching West Wing from scratch and came across one of the best moments in its whole run.

I feel like it might have been a bad idea to get rid of all the people who know how to find mass shooters because like, DEI

I did two hours of therapy and then 2 hours of the mall. I’m cooked like an egg.

Doing Xmas shopping stumbled across some manga that seems to have a vibe for @alexiatripp.bsky.social I’m willing to be wrong tho.

the right attitude

That weird moment when you’re decorating the Xmas tree and you realize a few ornaments inadvertently dead name your daughter. Time to find some whiteout.

If the last 5 years of your social media history doesn't get ban you from Trump's USA, then we can't be friends 🙅‍♀️💁‍♀️

Approval Rating doesn’t mean anything if you don’t plan to ever cede power.

I’m doing better now. Thanks.

Serious question, why would anyone still want to work here?

I hope the northern states like local tourism.

To friends overseas, please don't visit the US right now unless it's an unavoidable necessity.

I love that feeling when you’re vibing with a funny, emotional short story and then the writer throws out a quote you want to stick on your fridge forever. harpers.org/archive/2025...

Trans women can be hard to shop for. unless you've read my gift guide for trans. which you can, because it's here. now. open.substack.com/pub/halimede...

People Magazine published a beautiful article about Corey, Jerry, and me. people.com/corey-feldma...

Happy Getting your teeth drilled day for all who celebrate.

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves

Just fucking destroyed myself with today’s heavy Push day. 70 lb EZ Curl skullcrusher, how did I get here!?!

For the gym nerds, this is my current routine. Some of it is in flux as I’m trying out a few new exercises. This also has my latest weights/reps. I’m doing a 6 Day Push/Pull/Leg. And like consistently hitting the 6. I know, it’s crazy.

Sources close to the president's family say that Maduro will be forgiven and left in power if he, like Hernández before him, can produce 400 tons of cocaine.

I just found out about Kroc Rows and they sound absolutely insane.

Aaaaaaa bad razor burn.

Toss this person into the sun.

Happy Thursday, Canada 🍁

Thanks to @iheartfargo.bsky.social this book has been glued to my brain for the last 2 months. Damages to date, 10-15 pages on setting, 15 pages of hack notes plus a huge Xls. Working on Twilight : 2,100, NYC climate dystopia.

Behold the shining of a new plate. Something you will never see at a public gym

Shiny new 45 lb plates arrived. Let me just say that solid steel plates get crazy cold in shipping.

The thing about SPG’s “Flamethrower Or No?” game is that it’s pleasantly pervasive. I can play it right now* or while I’m running errands or while I’m at work. I can play it thinking about a set of folks I know well, or the guy who’s bagged our groceries for 20 yrs. *I am playing it right now.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

Today was experiments with Pelican Curls using a TRX, Take 1
