If guilt/shame/othering was persuasive I'd still be Catholic. I believe in education in advocacy which starts with meeting people in uncomfortable places in their and our lives and trying to help them take the next steps together.

#google. We can find anything for you. We can use #gemini to summarize it for you... Me... Can you help me find the apps on my phone if I misspell it when I'm typing it. Or if it's listed as ks instead of king Soopers... Etc etc Google... No

Could you imagine what we could do with 1.2 billion dollars to fix bathrooms and changing rooms. Rather than fund TERF rights we could just correct the technical and safety issues. Maybe private changing rooms? Private stalls rather than mass bathrooms. 1.2 billion could do a lot of good.

“There’s got to be something artificial out there that’s doing this,” Trump responded to Kennedy. “You stop taking something, you stop eating something. Or maybe it’s a shot. But something’s causing it.” What is "causing" it? We aren't being institutionalized.

Happy trans day of visibility. There is so much more to me than a label and few things mean more to me than those who share that label.

This one tip could save your life! See why wearing a seatbelt dramatically increases your chances of living. (sorry about the click-it bait)

Go fast and break things is a great way to innovate within a company... Where you try new things out and aren't afraid of failure... as long as the customer doesn't experience the failure with you. It is a terrible way to approach brain surgery and it is a terrible way to approach government reform

I’m right here if anyone wants to try to dispute the reality of this with me. I ain’t no centrist. We can chat about it.

Are you into breath play? Honey, I live in Colorado with severe allergies, everything is breath play. I've only breathed through my nose unimpeded a few times after anesthesia... And it was... Heaven.

ADHD cleaning shall now be known as "Roomba cleaning". I wander around the house sort of cleaning random things until I get stuck or my battery runs out. At the end things are a little cleaner but absolutely not clean. Time to bring this one over to Blue sky!

Has renaming the Gulf of Mexico come up before? Yes. In 2012, a member of the Mississippi Legislature proposed a bill to rename portions of the gulf that touch that state's beaches “Gulf of America,” a move the bill author later referred to as a “joke.” That bill, which was referred to a committee

Here me out... Trump just wanted to get rid of Jr by sending him to Greenland Most likely didn't know they had an airport and he could fly back Maybe Trump Sr can go checkout Antarctica. We will just shut off the phones and turn off the lights and pretend we aren't home when he tries to come back

Officially declaring that Rocky Horror is in the same universe as hitchhikers guide.

20th anniversary tree cutting in the forrest. (Fully permitted only one in areas the forrest service allows it)

I have a very variable sense of pain. Much like the rest of my senses. I can ignore it or I feel it intensely. This is how I went through the school day with a broken wrist. Went bowling with a broken wrist. When I got home I was in agony because all I was doing was watching TV #autism

Can't wait for jury selection. "Please leave if you have ever had a conflict with an insurance company"... Entire room gets up and leaves except one person. "Please leave if you work for an insurance company"... Last person leaves.

You know you have sent an awesome meme when your spouse tells you about it and you remind her.... You sent it.

Me plugging in my permanent led strips on my house border... Oh hey! That place that always fails didnt fail. 3 minute later... Ope now it's broken again Fixed it by soldering on a ladder. Also, is there anything cooler than a butane soldering iron?

Pixar foretold this event

Remember when he was the hero when he couldn't be a super hero.

My latest hyper fixation has been homologues. Discovering that we are far more alike than we are different has been very empowering. Like did you know AMAB people have a teeny uterus analog? Did you know AFAB people have a prostate analog? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

I'm not cutting ties with maga voters. But... I only have so much energy for bullshit. And since they voted for the king of bullshit.... I simply don't have time for them and their crap.

One thing that drives me nuts is the lack of comparison between JK Rowling and Trans advocates. We are continuously told that JK gets a lot of threats etc. (Which I don't condone) But no one ever looks at the inbox of trans advocates. I want to see an inbox comparison.

Thanksgiving is a rough holiday for me but it is getting better. I don't eat pretty much any standard foods you would find on the table for thanksgiving. The smell can be overwhelming to me. (Autism + ARFID + SPD)

Walmart is pulling out of DEI. Remember... That not everyone can afford to not shop at Walmart. This is a difficult situation to be in, but one we face everyday. Having to work with our abusers because.... capitalism. Let's not shame people who can't commit to not shopping there.

This is what it looks like to decenter yourself from your own marginalization and look at the broader patterns. We don't deserve her.
