I'm on a break from most social media. Contact in other places is more likely to get a response. I'd like to give a big hug or a cool thumbs up to everyone out here trying to emotionally regulate their way through this time.

One of the things that keeps me going right now is that every night, my small cat daughter brings me her ratty crinkle butterfly toy and gently screams until I acknowledge her hunting skills.

What fun time to be gay, autistic, and trans.

This putrid human is celebrating the decimation of trans rights in the UK. She’s gloating because she helped fund it. She funded it thru money she makes off Harry Potter. She will continue to do this. It’s her “mission”. Supporting Harry Potter harms and causes death in my community. Factually.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Come ask with me and @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social tonight! I'm gonna yammer professionally!

No it's not

Come ask me your burning manufacturing questions and maybe see Val!

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

I have tariff news induced depression today so I am relying on this half eaten bag of Starmix that @proptartmn.bsky.social gave me yesterday for emotional support.

I'm so visible right now #transdayofvisibilty

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

once again, "having rizz" is paying homage to rizzo the rat. not many people know this

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

Considering going hot ass orange for the spring/summer at my hair appointment next week so that I can walk into Gen Con like:

I started watching Reacher last night and let me tell you, that large square man is a cousin in the 'tism.

THIS IS HUGE! An HIV PrEP drug candidate in the form of a ONCE-yearly intramuscular injection has been shown to BLOCK HIV infections AND participants achieved AND maintained protection ABOVE the 95% efficacy threshold for UP TO 56 WEEKS. Phase III trials are scheduled for later this year! 🧪🧵⬇️

Molly House arrived and has been approved by Val! Very excited to finally wrangle @colewehrle.bsky.social into a game.

I took a class on tablet weaving this weekend in my continuing journey to do every fiber art. It was fun and also such a brain twister to get the pattern set up.

The toxic jungle and its many inhabitants Kicking off a monthly riso print subscription starting with this over on my patreon

The urge to write a long essay about why most publishers don't and can't make board games in the US and Chinese tariffs is warring with my urge to never talk about the new tariffs again.

Some shit you can do to help trans folks RIGHT NOW: Reach out to the trans folks in your life! Shit sucks right now! Tell them you love them. Ask them if there's a way you can help them personally. Distract them with pictures of your dog.

Important work lunch discussion today was who was your first anime boyfriend/girlfriend? Mine was Duo Maxwell from Gundam Wing! I have a t-shirt of him and still own a Deathscythe model. Other answers were Goku (truly the people's boyfriend) and Sasuke from Naruto. Who was yours?

Val protests us not paying attention to her as she desires by flopping in front of the TV so we are forced to witness her

Y'all, it is a wild-ass time to work in manufacturing. The amount of emails I get everyday at work that promise me the world if I switch from my Chinese manufacturing partners. The number of people out here giving advice like any of us can predict Trump's tantrums.

I'm not at GAMA because I am still ILL

Spoiler alert: Things did not look up.

I've been under the weather all week but I just ate some pretty slamming focaccia so shits looking up.

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

The couch is done! Lol, the reupholstering is done but I'm still waiting on the new foam for the cushions. Hopefully it will come this week! I also fucked up my back and now have to lay on the couch with a heating pad today. Hopefully that and a hot ass bath will fix my problems.

Val's important contribution to this project

Day three of the couch project and the injury list now includes one nasty splinter, countless stepping on staples, many small cuts, and one ruined shirt. But hey, it's looking good and hopefully it will be done today! Still waiting on new foam for the cushions but recovering cushions is easy peasy.

The great couch recovering project is going well; only three wrench pinches, two minor stabbings with a staple puller, and no dropping of heavy items on toes or cats. I'm so tired of pulling staples.

As traditional, if you donate to a rescue of your choice in honor of her birthday, you will receive (1) specially selected Val pic. Requests welcome! Kitty Revolution (Val's rescue): kittyrevolution.org/support-us/ Cat of San Bernardino: catsofsanbernardino.org Flatbush Cats: www.flatbushcats.org

It's Val's 5th birthday/gotcha day today! She has already had some extra treats, put on her Valentine's heart collar, and will of course be receiving a fancy tuna dinner followed by a round of laser beam. Here's to many more years with my sweet (goblin child) Vally girl!

This is one of my favorite poems performed in such a perfect way. I say "my color is green" to myself all the time when I feel in despair.

I renewed my passport two years ago and spent some time agonizing about whether or not to have an X on my passport. This exact scenario was one of the many fears/reasons I did not. I do have an X on my license and I fear that even that may become an issue when traveling.
