I do think it’s interesting that the process to pick a new pope and the process to respond to a loss of a crewed vehicle at NASA both involve locking doors as a critical step.

The optimist in me thinks maybe RFK’s bs report about trans care is so nakedly in opposition to reality it might make some media start reporting about it the same way they report about vaccine denial. The pessimist thinks that reporting will be just as effective as reporting about vaccine denial.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid

This feels like the real tipping point, if we hadn't already hit one. Having a hard time seeing how things don't spiral incredibly fast if they start mass-jailing liberal judges.

Life is too short to only go through puberty once

In 1897 the Indiana legislature attempted to define pi as 3.2. The UK’s supreme court has declared today that trans women are actually men. Both ideas are ludicrous, demonstrably false, and deserve to be ridiculed. A shame that one of them has immediate dire consequences for real people.

Here’s a picture of an old lock that hasn’t been used in a long time, because I like fancy fluid things and old infrastructure, and I just remembered I can use this app for more than doomscrolling

My kink is vanilla. Like literally just the flavor of vanilla. I would do anything for it.

I love an acronym where two of the letters are 1) The acronym itself 2) A plea to folllow the acronym Anyway bottom surgery part 2 went great. It feels surreal to be out of the hospital so quickly this time.

I want to find someone who does with me what spring does with the cherry trees

Live every day like it’s taco Tuesday, even if it’s Wednesday.

Changing my hormonal sex to female is one of the best things I’ve ever done, but even I have to admit that becoming more susceptible to migraines is pretty rank

No gray whales sighted at Yaquina Head, but at least we saw plenty of seals

Going through the crayola 96-pack with my daughter brings back childhood memories of wondering why anyone would burnt sienna

One of the fun things about fluid dynamics is how changing one variable (say time) allows another variable (like characteristic length) to be changed in a model and still give decent results. Anyway pretending little streams of rainwater are vast rivers is still fun, 30 years after kindergarten.

Early in transition people used to ask me “Is that your real hair?” fairly often. What I should’ve said in response was “No, I stole it from a TERF.”

without downloading new pics, describe your gender

“Transgender Dysphoria Blues” came up in my playlist for the first time in a while the other day. Laura Jane Grace: “You got no cunt in your strut!” Me: “Heh, don’t have that problem anymore…”

One of my work projects involves analyzing the loads that are applied to a reactor pressure vessel when its vent valve opens. It’s a little amusing that years after leaving the space industry here I am, being a nuclear thermal rocket analyst.
