As some of you may know, we did not initially have California in mind as one of the recipient states of the HRT Harm Reduction Toolkits. However...

I’m trapped in our relatively small office with window and door closed and one or both of these dogs have just farted. And I’m in a meeting and trying desperately not to show my anguish on my face.

SEND HELP!

protect the dolls? sure. but have you considered saying "protect trans people" instead? I know it doesn't sound as snazzy and cool but you'd be showing that you're an actual ally who cares about *all* trans people, and not just hopping on a trend. transmascs and enbies will thank you.

taking a pluslife covid test right now even though there's no reasonable way I could have gotten infected but I feel like shit 😩 the only place I’ve gone in literal weeks was the osteopath on Wednesday. We were both masked with ffp2 and I took the first appointment of the day. Fuuuuck. 🤞🏻

I have become 40% more chill since we moved to Spain and both the upside and downside of that is that I won't just push through to get shit done.

Guess it’s time for your periodic reminder that mentally ill people are actually statistically less likely to commit violent crimes; more likely to be victims; and more at risk of hurting themselves than others. If you want to curb gun crimes curb guns. Threading some studies here!

me: why am I feeling so anxious and panicky and wound up today?
my ribs and lungs and autism: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH!

it’s a no-chest tape day which means it’s a sports bra day which means I’m in purgatory 😣

I’m about to order some peanut butter and am sitting here trying to figure out if our dogs would perhaps enjoy crunchy more than smooth. Having dogs is very normal 😆

people always say it's hard to write diverse characters, and I have to agree; I really struggle not to automatically make all of them bisexual. Really have to shoehorn those monosexuals in so they're represented.

I know there's a lot of talk about the new covid boosters being hard to get for ppl under 65. Fwiw, I was able to schedule mine online at CVS like normal for next month when they get in the new Moderna boosters.

US TRANS FRIENDS: Drop your gofundmes, venmos, whatever ways of supporting you you have, in the replies. Then go make sure you have plans with loved ones to deal with the worst. I love you all. We will get thru it

CIS PEOPLE: Go through the replies and donate money to someone. Then reskeet.

oddly (or perhaps not that surprisingly) that’s also how people react to folks who still mask up for Covid reasons. They can’t stand that we’re making them feel bad about their choices. Turns out humans really don’t like being told that they’re the baddies. Just not enough to do better, it seems.
Thank you for this! Lately I've had some people admonish me that my attitude towards AI makes some people feel bad about their choices. I'm going to send them this because they *should* feel bad about their choices, and, more crucially, they should make better choices

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

Just to piggyback on this, I just sent this over to a friend of mine who is a regional director for a big grocery chain. His full response:

“Strap the fck in. You haven’t seen anything yet.”
grocery prices? going way WAY up next month. i had to increase retail on cans of ground coffee beans yesterday.

i kid you not, the Maxwell House ones went up $15 entire dollars PER unit.

if you got it for $14.99 yesterday, is it literally double that today.

it's about to get ugly(er)

but tbh between him and the girl loudly moaning over siesta time two weeks ago for all the street to hear on a regular Monday, I think the Spaniards must be fairly active 😅

what great opportunity for tourism marketing

Cum to Spain!

I was just sticking my nose out the window to check if I was smelling ocean (I was) and whether there was gonna be a chance of wind (probably not), and was "treated" to a view of the neighbour across the street jerking off in front of his computer. 😂 do people not understand the angles of windows?
