Fast and free transgender for everybody imo

the most expensive part of transition is actually all the books

I have, and I do! I've done the sign-in helper shift a few times and would say it's easier than checkout at the co-op. Chips recipients vs. coop shoppers: equally polite, less chatty, receiving one of several items rather than tens in a set of thousands, & have their ID more ready to present

What's the last car you stopped to take a picture of?

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Everyone, I wanted to let you know about the sad news that despite everyone's best efforts Bluestockings will close at the end of the year: www.bluestockings.com - I want to thank every single person who sent books to them through my book drive [will share more later]. A tremendous loss to NYC.

When my daughter was 2 she woke up from a dream, sobbing. She eventually got out that she was "afraid of the elephant". Over the next few days she explained that the elephant: - was sitting on a bench - looked at her - came towards her - tried to hold her hand - told her many things (?!?)

So one of my voice clients said this is what they saw on our zoom call today, and honestly? I kind of love it

We had a great day in Brooklyn at @nyc-dot.bsky.social Summer Streets '25. Connected w/ local leaders @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social, who we hope to see riding on the Bergen Bike Bus, getting kids to school in a safe, active & joyful way! Please join us for our 1st ride 9/10.

Possibly interesting to @joshuajfriedman.com : the Park Slope Food Co-op presently owns 19 unmatched left insulated rubber gloves, and 1 unmatched right insulated rubber glove (from an incompatible set) ???

Got Berenstained into the world where @scumbelievable.bsky.social 's last name isn't Falkner-Martin

new york is not about unequivocal fawning over israel, new york is the sound of the muezzin and the shabbos siren and the version of the mister softee jingle with the 808s in it, all playing at the same time

Saw you fellas at the Country Music Hall of Fame

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...

Lander is on the hustle so hard he canvassed the ICE agents who arrested him

It's been more than a year since I first saw The Third Sex by @adamjrineer.bsky.social & co, but I cannot stop thinking about the ridiculous nerd who goes to a magazine stand, asks for a gay mag, is handed a copy of Die Insel (pictured), flips through... then goes back and complains (1/2)

@bradlander.bsky.social came and waved a rainbow flag at us while we were lined up waiting to march in the Brooklyn Pride Parade! He's the only politician I saw there in person this year, it was endearing.

We're printing the collected GENDERTRASH FROM HELL! ‼️ Pre-order today ‼️ There is material from an unpublished 5th issue!! And we have a deluxe pack with the buttons they used to make! ➡️ www.littlepuss.net/gendertrashp... ⬅️

at least Sisyphus didn't have little children continually telling him that he's pushing the boulder wrong and complaining that he's taking too long and saying that they want to push the boulder and fighting over whose turn it is to push the boulder

Congratulations @katiehonan.bsky.social on writing the best piece of predictive science fiction of all time

Making food accommodations is not a bother. It's what you do when you take on the responsibility of feeding someone. It's a profound honor to be able to take on that act of care. And fuck anyone who makes you feel otherwise.

This would fix me (malewife)

shot day

My timeline doing exactly what it oughta

They say little kids can identify app icons because it uses the same part of the brain that developed through evolution to identify poisonous plants, which means a million years ago my 3 year old would have known exactly which berry he could use to watch Bluey

@bergenbikebus.bsky.social this morning!

What is the subject of the article bearing this subhed? (Wrong answers only.)

I'm a trans guy and look like a ~normal~ guy to most cishet people. How I handle disclosure, specifically re. my kids' classmates' parents: Sep-Dec I say nothing & just get to know them. Jan-Jun I bring it up, when relevant, more and more freely.

IG parenting content I get: French: « we just raise our children. tummy time is fake » US English: here are the 5 WiFi-connected SpO2 monitors you NEED to not be a TERRIBLE parent UK English: illegally fired by your employer during maternity leave? here are ideas for cheer-me-up matching outfits

"transition won't solve all your problems" yeah and neither will changing out that faucet that keeps leaking, but they will both solve the specific problems they are solutions to

GIGANTIC YELLOW WARNING: we don't serve transsexuals. HAPPY REGULAR WEBSITE: care. no matter what. can't make this shit up man

Checkpoint

I went to the NYC book release party for ASL by Jeanne Thornton! Saw Cat Fitzpatrick - while talking and without looking - pick up her cuppa from a shelf behind her, & bring it to drinking position by continuously rotating her wrist so it wouldn't spill @catfitzpatrick.net teawitch confirmed

be the monkey wrench you want to see in the works
