my heart is too big. which, I know, is a great conversation starter, but I also mean it in the most physical way possible. It’s too big for the space it has, and it causes all kinds of funny stuff every time the weather turns cold or someone elects Donald Trump, or other things like that.

This suicide awareness month I’d like something to be clear: self-identification of Autism reduces suicide risk and increases efficacy of psychotherapy. Individuals must behave responsibly for optimal wellness, but invalidation of self-identification only serves to further oppress and harm us.

I started reading and I can’t stop. I wasn’t this awestruck by a short text form in a very long time.
A woman on the Tube wears khaki green. She has fancy, new, electric-pink nail gels. She twists her hands around, admiring them from all angles.

The just asking questions effect from @irahyman.bsky.social & @maddyjalbert.bsky.social. Simply asking a question can imply that there is doubt about a conclusion or event ("I'm not saying Leslie Knope is a dog murderer but it does raise some questions like is she a dog murderer?") #sarmac2025 2/

You can always tell when something upsets Trump by when he fixates on it. The way Trump can’t stop posting about @vanhollen.senate.gov means this hit him where it hurts. More, please and thank you.

Since we’re all talking about it I want to blow up a real female space pioneer, Mae Jemison, an actual astronaut. She’s a graduate of Stanford and Cornel Medical School, served in the peace corps, started an educational nonprofit, and worked for the CDC researching vaccines. That’s a woman in space

I admit I was busy with other stuff but it strikes me now that there was a moment where “social networks” began to be called “social media” (which is a very different dynamic and intent) and now we oftentimes need to find other tools to build actual social networks
