Last thing I'll say about it here, but if you interpret "acting like ordinary human beings who make goofy mistakes sometimes" as a portrayal of humiliating incompetence, the problem is not with the show.

I’ve said as much to my spouse when discussing the show. I just finished rereading all the Murderbot Diaries, and introducing Mensah’s anxiety early will do well to set the stage for the PTSD to follow. It makes her more relatable as a person.

To paraphrase Becky Chambers’ THE GALAXY AND GROUND WITHIN: I do love having a garden, but boy do I hate gardening. Ugh. Half done today, other half tomorrow. I know I’ll be happy once harvesting starts, but it’s a lot of work (and money) to get there.

The response was entirely positive, so let the Nazi Punch of the Day begin. It seems appropriate to start with a classic. This is from Captain America Comics #1. The cover date was March 1941, but from what I've read, it was on the shelves several months earlier. #NPD #NaziPunching

Started re-listening to The Broken Earth trilogy today, written by @nkjemisin.bsky.social and narrated by the incredible Robin Miles. I love her narration of Jemisin’s writing so very much.

I rarely connect and vibe with people in general, so trying to find a transfemme friend feels like searching for an infinitesimally small percent of an infinitesimally small percent of the population 😕

As ICE steps up immigration enforcement, it is more urgent for all of us – immigrants and citizens alike - to understand our rights. CASA's 'Know Your Rights' document (updated in Jan 2025) is a great resource. Here are some key takeaways.

"Obviously, swords are male." The swordmaster gave the student a tired look. "No." "But sheaths must be fema-" "Sheaths exist to protect swords from the world, and vice versa. Swords exist to kill and maim." "Or be pretty," another student said. "Indeed. And those roles aren't male or female."

Hey folks, CSA survivor here with a reminder that strangers on the Internet are not the primary risk to kids Protecting kids' privacy is important, but the overwhelming majority of CSA isn't strangers hiding in the bushes, digital or otherwise. It's people who already have their (parents') trust.

Octavia E. Butler signed this copy of Parable of the Sower for my late mother, Patricia Stephens Due. The power of these Black women inspired me to write an essay after Tr*mp's inauguration in 2017. I've reposted a slightly revised version I hope will bring you hope today. tinyurl.com/mwazxrb4

Some unalloyed good news. A fast, reliable blood test will make life easier for so many women, who currently have to have a diagnosis confirmed surgically and can wait as long as 8-10 years to get to the point where a doctor refers them for it.

For the last time: The illegal / legal immigrant distinction is a manufactured crisis designed to mask deeper anxieties about white supremacy and generate support for nativist policies.

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

My insulin is on a national shortage. Endo is giving me an Rx for a different insulin on my formulary. Insulins aren’t interchangeable, bodies react differently to different formulations. But the idea that I might run out of insulin is…deeply terrifying.

I actually appreciate it when fountain pen ink makers out themselves as awful on the internet because it helps narrow down my vast list of options when picking ink. Crossing Robert Oster off the list.

Gonna be a wild time when research science and medicine have to acknowledge that obesity isn't a disease and weight gain/inability to lose fat aren't a moral failing but medical issues caused by (I strongly suspect based on how these drugs improve) immune and endocrine system dysfunction.
