Measles isn't a joke. It's not "just like chickenpox" (and who the hell wants cpox again anyway?) it will erase immunity to other diseases and can maim if not outright kill you. The MMR is one of the most successful vaccines to date, and I am very sick of breathing the same air as antivaxxers.

I've never liked Venereal Disease Day, but it's kinda extra fucking hard when your husband is dead and all your peeps are being stupidly schmoopy. And yeah, I have a date this weekend, but that's not even a band aid.

I'm not posting them because well, not sexy locations, but my bisalp incisions look incredible a week later. They're pretty much disappearing. Unfortunately it still feels like the surgeon took an apple corer to my lower left quadrant where they removed the big cyst, but c'est la vie.

Harald Sigurdsson, known as Hardrada, passed from my arms to Jeff's arms in Valhalla late last night when he told me it was time to cross the Bifrost. He was the bestest grump and my heart is absolutely shattered.

an analysis I would really like to see is how often the Times uses male-coded terms to describe Republicans vs female-coded ones for Democrats.

Surgery was a success. I am now spayed like a cat and less a large ovarian cyst and adhesions. I am in some pain on the side with the bigger incision, but otherwise ok.

Is there anybody here on MilBlueSky that has the full copy of Austin Dahmer's defense revisions? I've seen this, and while most of MilTwitter seems lit up about the Army cuts, which are substantial, people are ignoring the homefront cuts. #dod #military #milbluesky

Yesterday, a good friend whom many adored and loved died in a multi-car pile up somewhere between Ft. Myers and Orlando. We have very little details. I am absolutely destroyed. I don't know how many more hits I can take. Remember to always tell your friends you love them.

Absolutely a Nazi salute.

Absolutely. They are the unfascists, those that may not have voted a certain way, but are too surrounded by their creature comforts and privilege that they don't want to seek change as long as nothing affects them personally.

Do not comply in advance. People who lay down and give up make a nice staircase for fascists to ascend.

The buyer of my late husband's project VW Bug has fallen through, and now I need to put out feelers for a new adopter. *sigh*

Women's self-defense classes will be starting in East Lake on February 22nd. A series of 4 classes for $100. Trans individuals welcome but be advised it will be at a church full of old people. It's an inclusive congregation but I can't tell old birds not to be awful when we're renting their space.

I'm a 90s goth kid. Manson was our boy. It is what it is. Granted he has more red flags than Moscow in 1945 then also, we just didn't think anything of it because we were engrossed in the persona. After all, Alice Cooper is a philanthropist. So it's possible, right? Oooof.

"I never liked Neil Gaiman/Marilyn Manson/JK Rowling/insert problem child anyway." But people did, and putting yourself on a pedestal above them as an attempt to feign some kind of pop culture superiority is a shitty thing to do.

Shit I actually say in conversations: "You can't just send me Rome jokes because the truth is that I'm /actually/ Rome. When men say they're thinking about the Roman Empire, they're thinking about me. That is my Leonine bullshit for the day, carry on."
