Thank you @kaylapekkala.com for sharing information about sticker vendors last year. Now I have new bumper stickers, one of which I legally could not ask anyone to make for me. I’m going to slap them on a motorcycle and ride it in to small town Texas.

One of my absolute favorite things is queer women musicians making horny education themed music.

A work vendor has a trans daughter that he won’t respect. He gets off on misgendering me over the phone. He made himself PHYSICALLY UNCOMFORTABLE by not acknowledging my gender in person recently. Anti-trans weirdos in Texas can’t even handle being accidentally rude to a trans woman to her face.

I just learned that in Texas, a motorcycle can be legally ridden in HOV lanes, AND bus-only lanes. I think I’ll print out a copy of that law in case I ever want to try it!

The longer my hair grows the blonder it gets. I am extremely curious if this can possibly have anything to do with hormones, or if it’s just a WILD coincidence. It went from PLATINUM (baby) to blonde (child) to brown (adult) back to blonde (woman). WTF?

Somehow it’s apparently impossible to find gay women on motorcycles where I am. I keep going to meetups and all the women are talking about how their husbands did shit on their bikes for them. I’m going to start force-femming the husbands so there are cool girls around…

I told my therapist, who used to live in Boston, my crazy hot take about how calm and polite Boston drivers are and her reaction was a very simple: yeah, you’re right, I’m glad you get it. That wasn’t what I was expecting, but it was fun!

I have been on this app just a little less for the past week or so, and I feel so much better it’s like I’m a different person. This is the happiest and least stressed out I’ve been in more than a year. Grass is good.

My next bad opinion today is that Boston drivers are incredibly restrained and polite. If you put those roads with those speed limits in Texas every gas station would sell fifth-wheel machine gun mounts and they would have to replace the emergency roadside vehicles with coroners vans.

I have once again made it through airport security without a government groping.

I would like to thank Calvin Klein, the first circuit, and estrogen for my ability to avoid the TSA genital inspection this morning.

I love to be browsing the internet in the morning and see that a brand some of my friends like is accidentally horribly transphobic. It’s clearly a “fail to consider that trans people exist” situation, but it really stung this weekend for some stupid reasons.

U.S. Border Patrol agents shot a woman on Saturday morning in Brighton Park marking the second shooting since President Donald Trump’s administration launched an aggressive immigration enforcement operation in the area last month, the @chicago.suntimes.com reports

My next Taylor Swift hot take is that when she referred to her finance’s dick as a “magic wand,” it’s because she misinterpreted “Red Wine Supernova.”

If you think Taylor Swift’s shitty ode to the male penis is awful, may I suggest the entire album “No Hard Feelings” by The Beaches? I have to say though, writing an entire song about a penis that is LESS HORNY THAN A COLD SHOWER probably takes a lot of skill.

Hey @jael.bsky.social, remember how I offered to buy some ekko tickets for trans folks/+1s at some of your shows? How do I do that?

Yall, check out this super fun blog post one of my comments helped inspire!! That first paragraph is WILD!!!

I keep thinking about how I freaked out at Florida's anti-trans shit, and how everyone was saying all trans people needed to flee that state, and then they passed most of the same shit in Texas and now I'm looking at the laws and saying, "Y'all want me to upend my life over this piddly shit?"

A thread of things I learned at the @ekkoastral.bsky.social show last night: -touching grass is good, touching gravel is less good -sobriety will not save you from waking up feeling like shit if you don’t drink enough water -if pretty bitter’s tour doesn’t bring them within driving distance…

Ken Klippenstein calling himself a krassenstein is the only accurate reporting he’s ever done.

The news is so horrific these days that one of the only things that is keeping me grounded is wrenching on my motorcycle. Naked bikes are fun because I can do all of the silly stuff I used to want to do with my car but was too afraid to. The bike is also kinda fast…

I was in a pride parade with an EXTREMELY cute “I’m just an ally” woman who was IN A PRIDE PARADE and doesn’t understand why people think she’s gay. The way she giggles when I flirt with her is leading me to knowingly, willingly, and recklessly turn my life into a Tegan and Sara song. (She’s gay)

@katie.bzky.team every time the counter isn’t gone up for more than 5 minutes.

It's been so long since I even spent time around people who aren't sober that I forgot that some people make group plans to go to a bar at 10:30 in the morning and don't even think to let people know that's the plan until you all get there. A heads up seems like it should be the minimum.

Excellent news

Jake Sherman is reporting that the Medicaid gender affirming care ban has been removed from the reconciliation bill! Huge news!

I have been calling senators’ offices this morning. Ted Cruz’s Austin office hung up on me, but the Houston office took my call and actually had a constructive conversation with me. Cc: @andreagrimes.com
