So it took me all day to figure out why there was a “Heritage” parade today in San Francisco that one of my teenage enby friends is marching in.

Oh. It’s 10/12. Duh.

Oh crap I went to their profile and it would be way too much fun to troll them so now I gotta block them.

What the hell? They write like a Bad poet & make no sense at all

Why? Circumcision became routine in the 1920s in the US. He is 2 years older than me. I got Around in the 70s & 90s & the only uncircumcised dick I ever saw was on a Norwegian guy.
I know of at least one Jewish family that is entirely uncircumsized, except for Grandpa who is 81.

Why do you keep sharing AI slop? It just tells them people will share whatever they do.

Yay somebody on fecebook who I have been begging for over 2 years “please do mot do this thing that causes me distress and loss of composure” is causing me to have to bail on an event here in Oakland.
Bringing the nuclear block to fecebook. One ask. That’s all they get.

The good news is there are more & more neurodivergent therapists. Still hard to find but they are incressing.
I didn’t get an official DX till I was in my 50s and it hasn’t helped me get disability or accommodation in housing, which was why I fought for it. Oh well. At least I live somewhere.

And then I’m looking at the frontage road as I’m driving up the freeway, and the frontage road is literally covered with parked vehicles each of them with one bicycle strapped to it

I am interrupting chimes of freedom on the radio to say that the radio station just interrupted chimes of freedom with a commercial. In the middle of Dylan song oh was I yelling?

booqatana @joqatana.bsky.social · 18h

Well, yeah.
Perspective is a skill.

I kinda feel like every day is “make Jo want to scream” day. You have a low threshold for wanting to scream, but also, it’s usually pretty justified.

booqatana @joqatana.bsky.social · 19h

I honestly don’t know if I’m overreacting or if it’s “make Jo want to scream” day. Which we do not need.

My argument button is hot today. I personally loved museums as a kid. I had all my birthday parties in museums.
Suddenly in my adulthood they stopped being accessible to poor people.
Now I know the super seekrit way in. My EBT card.
