Ouch.

We may have won silver but our players have a heart of gold 💛 unlike the disgusting US team and their behaviour in that locker room. The misogyny towards the female hockey team. Disgusting 🤮 but unfortunately this Canadian is not surprised in the least.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker. Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

I didn’t realize how nervous I was about the prior authorization we needed until I got the approval in the mail. And I’m still a little worried we won’t get the procedure scheduled before the Trump administration shuts down the gender clinic.

Canada is bringing it this game. But the US still hasn’t let them score. #womenshockey

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

I know the rule of thumb is to send your customers emails so you can market to them and hopefully they will purchase from you again. But when the marketing emails start the same day you make a purchase of an item you wing need to replace for years it’s a bit much.

happy captain cook deathday to all who celebrate

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Had to move my tenant’s car this morning. As she blearily handed me the keys she told me it wasn’t an automatic. I took the keys and moved the car. When I gave her the keys back I told her that being able to drive a manual is how I ended up with my husband.

At an Olympic Women’s hockey watch party this morning. So much fun. But sooo early for the PNW.

Uh oh, you have billions invested in generative AI: aftermath.site/generative-ai-...

Bought my son the @effinbirds.com daily calendar. He loves it but wishes he knew what the birds were on each page.

Not Catherine O’Hara. I think I need to start a rewatch of Schitt’s Creek.

Every picture of Kash Patel looks like he just got caught fucking a goat by his mom.

A stopped clock is right twice a day, but a broken clock may never by right.

just making sure no one misses my typo-filled and hideous craftsmanship

Do you know trans youth aged 19 and younger who might want a piece in the second issue of Chrysalis? Submissions are open! www.chrysalismagazine.org/submissions

Malala is here at @climatepledgearena.com for tonight’s @pwhltorrent.bsky.social game!! #SeattleTorrent #PWHL #SeattleSports

Smashed my finger in a drawer this morning. It's my flipping people off finger. But after watching that video from the Ford plant I never want to flip people off again.

Gender-affirming care for trans youth is legal in all 3 states. But HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last month announced that medical practitioners who provide gender-affirming care to minors are out of compliance w federal health care standards. Now, the agency is enforcing that declaration.

Had a friend tell me today that their tarot card reader said Trump will be dead in 6 months. Here’s hoping.

Just use trans like the adjective it is. And unless it is pertinent to the conversation woman is just fine on its own.

Pro-wrestling legend Mick Foley announced this morning that he's parting ways with WWE over the organization's "close relationship with Donald Trump," saying the president's "incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me."

Anyways, when JK Rowling and her ilk are long gone and their legacies are remembered for what they are, there will still be trans people around thriving. They may be winning the battles now but they will ultimately lose the war. They will never stop trans people from existing.

Smacked my foot on the corner of the door to the dishwasher when I was cleaning the kitchen earlier. It seamed okay until I rested it. Now I can’t put weight on it. So much for yoga class tonight.

LONG RAMBLING EMOTIONAL THREAD: It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS. I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Like Riley Gains tying for fifth, this is a situation where a cis woman was graded based on the merits of their work but because a trans person was involved it is unfair that they didn’t win.

In the #PWHL if there is a mishap during a line change and your team gets a penalty is it "too many women on the ice"?

The voice of Patrick Fabian on the answering machine in this week’s episode of Pluribus was *chef’s kiss*.

I wonder how politics would change if politicians salaries were capped at the median household income for their constituents. The poorest communities might end up with representatives that understood them better. And it would behoove the powers that be to improve economic situations for all.

I’m meeting a friend for lunch today who is notoriously late. I have another thing beforehand that is 30 minutes in the opposite direction. It takes 35 minutes to get from one to the other. I was thinking I could leave early. But really I could just leave right when it is over and still be first.

I’ve often called this song—“Just Like Heaven”—the finest single of the 80s and meant it. This cover’s arrangement only confirms it for me 💜🔥

"Thirty-eight years ago today a Chicago television signal was hijacked and the airing program was replaced by a stranger in a Max Headroom mask. The perpetrator has never been identified."

loooove her

I first heard the term Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria a few years after my kid transitioned. It is just a way dismiss a kid. Parents may feel a little blindsided because the kids spend a lot of time thinking about it before coming out. Then they want transition ASAP. It doesn’t mean it’s not real.

Every year on Trans Day of Remembrance I try to psych myself up to attend an event. But I never go. This year is different, I’ve given myself permission not to try to psych myself up and will instead take my trans kid out to something that interests her.

I was once again told by a doctor that I should reduce my caffeine intake (without asking me what it is). I only have one cup of coffee most days and an occasional second. He also said to reduce stress. Ha! He can take my coffee from my cold dead hands.

This whole thread 🧵 is 🔥.

That whole “death panels” thing from the debates over the ACA 15ish years ago was genius marketing. It’s clear that the people beating that drum only did so because they would be public death panels not private ones. Private ones are easier to bribe. Or if you are rich enough you can pay OOP.

Um. This is not okay. I just went to the grocery store and my cashier just gave me the senior citizen discount without saying anything. I know I have gray hair but this is worse than when you stop getting carded for alcohol. Actually at this store they scan your ID for alcohol regardless of age.

There’s a person I’ve seen a few times paddling a surfboard on their stomach in the middle of my suburban lake. On previous days I’ve watch them attempt to stand and have the board shoot up into the air. I wonder what their goal is.

Online resources are vital for queer and trans communities, especially youth. Take action now at QueersAgainstCensorship.com to protect this access and crush online censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks and attempts to strip Section 230.

I’m so jealous of the places without solid cloud cover who have been able to see the aurora borealis. We’ve had amazing KP numbers and thick, thick clouds.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

I may have lost my shit on a signature gatherer. But my presence was so upsetting she left. I just kept yelling to anyone who would listen that the store didn’t give her permission to be there, she’d been asked to leave, and the police had been called. So she left. I hope her grand kids hate her.
