If you can afford not to use them, DO NOT use a service like Talkspace. Just about any therapist's office, from a small local one like mine to a unit of a larger health system, has much better data protection practices. Also if at all avoidable, do not communicate via text! Call or video chat.

@missrhenard.bsky.social sent me an actual goddamn text message, like from her cellular phone to my cellular phone. In the year of our lord 2026. Living in the future at least means this exchange via text between the US and Canada didn't cost us both $5 lmao

If I happen to know anyone in the Sacramento area, I beg you to please go and pet one of the babies on my behalf

Support your public broadcasters, whether they're your own or the next door neighbors' c:

Hello, person who has called 6 times in 2 hours, conveniently when I'm right at a point in another work task where I can't take your call. Could you please leave a message or fill out the online form? We straight-up say calls with no message left are not returned in our voicemail greeting. Kthxbai

$9.50/hr as a tech associate at Staples in 2016. Was a pretty nice first job for a 17-year-old

The controlled opposition isn’t the Democratic Party, it’s the mainstream press.

Men only want one thing and it's disgusting Okay a lot of women want this too And an awful lot of non-binary folks, in my experience Okay maybe we all want one thing, and it's disgusting

He may not be middle-aged but this article is 1000% about @transferdinand.gay

Word is they plan to resurrect Tom Midgley Jr to head the EPA

One thing I've noticed is outside of the hardcore MAGA base, Americans really don't like a bully. The average voter might've been swayed against trans rights in 2024 by the onslaught of concern-trolling but now it's just overt obsessive bullying and the average person goes 😬

They can't just steal my nickname like that

Being the cuck manager, sliding the window open when it doesn't sound like it's going well and demanding to see the bull in your office.

Yeah I'm honestly fine with a bunch of pseudoscience-obsessed conspiratorial weirdos just opting out if that's what they wanna do. Get out and stay out, tbh

"Are you wearing the-" The Picture Perfect socks from @techconnectify.bsky.social's sock collection and the @obsoletesony.com Dynamicron VHS shirt? Yes, yes I am c: We are filmmaxxing today y'all lol

"We don't need no pictures, let the motherfuckers text" -Bluesky, I guess

Visiting a city like Montréal and walking or taking the metro everywhere turns one into Calvin's dad real quick

Popping this here out of context because I legit get stark raving mad at the people like "Oh but the turbines are so ugly!" AND COAL + GAS PLANTS AREN'T?? "Oh but they kill birds!" NOT AT NEARLY THE RATE OF POLLUTION "Oh but my property values!" YOUR PROPERTY VALUES WILL BE FINE I PROMISE YOU

Printers are all the spawn of Satan and have no rights. It is okay to express violent rage at a printer.

My risk of exposure was high but mentally I didn't have it too bad. I was declared essential at T-Mobile and had to work in-person, lived with my parents + brothers, worked with my best friend, and most of my other friends were online anyway. If anything I was almost bothered by how *little* changed

Optical illusion-lookin' ass

post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet (if you feel like it): (I know I first posted it a few days ago but c'mon it's no contest lol)

I was helping @tanasimensis.bsky.social get documentation together for proving Canadian descent for citizenship and y'all it turns out we're distant cousins 😂 I know a fuckton of French Canadians wound up in Michigan, just really funny to find out it's one of your mutuals lol

Somehow not surprised lol

Without saying your age, post your favorite film released the year you turned eighteen.

What's interesting is this is the same logic a conservative SCOTUS used in the Bostock decision, and state courts around the country have used it as well (Rouch World v. MDCR in Michigan for one example) Discrimination on sexual orientation or gender identity is *inherently* sex discrimination

THAT WASN'T *WHY* I STOPPED but I did say that when we took a break and eventually we got back to it lol

What he won't tell you is that I did so as a joke maybe twice and now he says it unprompted more often than I ever did lmao

Toly and I had been talking about this massive increase in violence in both rhetoric and deed a bit ago. I really don't like it, nothing can convince me that it's okay, but nothing is okay at the moment, and those responsible for putting us in this moment deserve to reap what they chose to sow.

Fisher Price Brutalism youtu.be/L3oO510dyVI?...

Smfh stepdad and his stepdaughter going at it again

It's also a lot of fun and I fully invite any Hungarians to join in on humiliating the couchfucker.

"[Orban] admits the result is painful for Fidesz" Good! I hope it hurts like a motherfucker! You're a toxic leech and your whole party of wreckers can choke!

A video that @thesinnamom.gay took when I was like is Ophie beeping lmao My son

I didn't go on BlueSky all fuckin day. I was getting the company's tax return all buttoned up and ready for next Wednesday. Literally from after our morning staff meeting to 6:30pm, just numbers and tax codes. I might've been a little happier for it lmao

I'm far too small an account to make money from it but Bluesky did get me a husband, which is definitely better than money Plus this is MY poasting zone. I simply could never outsource that lol

AT&T's spam call filters have gotten ludicrously good. Only one spam call came through today, and that one got caught by the new call assistant feature on my phone, so it didn't even ring. Weird to not have my phone ringing off the hook anymore, but deeply appreciated lol

Love being diabetic so they have to dilate my eyes every year for the eye exam. I was able to drive home okay but I can barely read anything on my phone or computer screen. Maybe it's my opthalmologist's way of telling me to go offline for a bit lol Alas, I Have No Eyes but I Must Poast

We have now automated @transferdinand.gay's mouse jiggling device via a smart outlet The name was an easy choice

Going to Costco about 4:15 on a weekday feels like a hack. Our local schools get out at 2:45 so parents with kids have already come and gone, and the people at 9-5s haven't left the office yet. The Golden Hour of Costco lmao

I would literally rather they have cast Arin Hanson as Skeletor, I am not kidding.

I can't let this post go by without adding the extended version www.tumblr.com/mothsbythela...

Probably here Considering I didn't even crush on anyone when I was 19, that means I married no one, so I was free to fall madly in love with and marry @transferdinand.gay lol

Even using a cynical capitalist framework, there's a reason health insurers cover gender-affirming care pretty readily. It's simple cost-benefit. Let's say I'm a trans man with no other health conditions. The generic testosterone cypionate that treats the incongruence is probably $60/mo.

Now is the twilight of the moral panic and we'll see the end of it soon. Hold on tight, to your loved ones and your friends and everything else that fortifies you.
