Epic Halloween costume if I had anywhere to wear it.

When I was younger I didn't understand why universities required science and engineering students to also take humanities classes. The last decade, especially the last few years, have made it obvious to me.

"Dammit, Emily! You're about as reliable as a leaky hourglass!" Points for creativity there. "I'm sure we stole that from someone more imaginative." Hmm. Someone's in a nasty mood today. "I'm tired of making excuses for your weakness!" So try kindness instead. You've shown you're capable of it.

Oh, man, not Gene Hackman. 2025 can just fuck right off. Okay. Let me tell you a little bit about Gene Hackman...

It’s sad to think Gene Hackman is no longer in the world with us but man we got to have him doing uniformly perfect work, no matter the project, for a long time and then he got to retire and just be a guy for a while. What more could you want from and for someone you admire

The fascists think that if they can destroy our joy, all that'll be left to us is despair. They're wrong. As strong as #trans joy? Trans rage. Rage at family and friends that abandoned us. Rage at a society that wants to erase us. Rage at every last indignity we suffer. Rage is energy for the fight.

HIV/AIDS is peaking. The groundwork is being laid for a 21st century dominated by economic and social injustice, the rise of big tech, and the destruction of civil liberties and constitutional government. We feel safe. It's a lie. Rose-colored glasses are a luxury we can't afford, especially now.

I'm late to the party (and what a swell party this is) on the #Andor season two trailer, but... holy fucking shit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE4w... Pardon the language, but the emphasis is necessary. April 22nd? That's going to be a good day for me. Also, Diego Luna? Daaaaaaamn. Just... DAAAAAAAMN.

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US. This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just so we’re clear: There is no serious case against birthright citizenship. The EO is unjust and unconstitutional. Those who claim otherwise are wrong, and law professors who are doing so are behaving irresponsibly.

Blood tests back. E is down, T is up. Still semi-decent, but they're "meh" values, not "yay, good things will happen physically!" values. Body, I'm trying to be kinder to you, but you've got to work with me here, please. It's been nearly four (!!!!) years. Get with the program. I'm begging you.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

“You know what you should do?” I feel a nightmare coming on. “Rude! But nice reference.” Thank you. What’s your suggestion? “You should revisit MLP:FiM. When was the last time you watched it?” Honestly? Years. “So why not look back?” I’ve changed a lot. “The magic will still be there.” :-)

“Hoot hoot! Practice every day… or I’ll appear in your nightmares!” Woke up, can’t get back to sleep, and now random lines from #TheOwlHouse are popping into my head. Is this because I got those Light glyph earrings? Clearly I shouldn’t have put magic so close to my skull.

"I know you have a lot of options you can spend your precious time and attention on, so I appreciate you choosing to spend any of it on me." This is part of how I end my streams. Our time and attention is limited and precious, and I appreciate any amount spent on me greatly. 💖

i think we should replace “how are you?” with “hey things are generally bad, how are you personally?” just to make things easier on everyone trying to answer in a way that doesn’t initially seem like you’re either delusional or complicit

Last year I experienced a dream come true when I got to be a vip at Walt Disney World. I mentioned to the cast members that I have an entire Minnie Mouse themed kitchen. So what should arrive for my birthday but a complete set of Disney silverware!

Going back and forth on whether or not to directly link here to the details of my caning class later this year. I think it’s probably a step beyond my current comfort level. That said, if you look into DC’s local #kink / #BDSM education scene, you’re likely to find it pretty quickly. #NSFW

Like if the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft burned the books themselves in hopes it would keep the wolves from the door. Friends, the wolves seek the light.

And this, by the way? This is perhaps the most pathetically transparent attempt at backpedaling I’ve ever seen. It’s actually embarrassing. Y’all fucked up. Massively. You’ve lost the trust of vulnerable people you’ve sworn up and down you’ll protect. Own it. Apologize. Do better. FIGHT FOR US.

First time in four years of coming to @whitmanwalker.bsky.social for my gender-affirming care that I haven’t felt completely safe and comfortable. Now instead I’m wondering when they’ll throw people like me under the bus again in a quisling attempt at appeasement. One doomed to fail. Do better.

If I’m going to be heading into D.C. this often, I think I will need to finally get the bumper sticker that reads: “If you’re going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair.” Crass? Yes. Accurate to the local driving habits? Certainly. Something I’d say (exasperatedly) to their face? Absolutely.

I feel like I know my Bluesky audience pretty well, but just in case some of you have (gasp!) never seen Casablanca and therefore never had the heartsplitting experience of watching a bunch of real life European refugees stand up and drown out fake Nazis by singing the Marseillaise go fix that soon.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.
