“Fear isn’t the only thing that’s contagious.

Courage is contagious.”

– Kamala
Can’t even cover their cover up
So, Congress passes a law requiring the release of ALL the Trumpstein files. Any redactions to protect ONLY the victims

Trump DOJ releases a highly redacted and incomplete batch after working on them for months, citing various lame excuses for their non-compliance

This is what a coverup looks like

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

OAK ✈️ HNL

Mood: relieved and ready to relax. 😮‍💨

Last month or so has been a whirlwind of moving cleaning organizing and shedding a few things, rehoming others. Hope to do some inter island travel while out there! 🌺🤙🏻

Birthday dinner in an unpacked new home: A Waldorf salad with arugula, grilled lime chicken, apples, cherries, celery, toasted edamame and goat cheese, in a yuzu vinaigrette with ghost pepper.

AND a bowl of sweet potato oven fries with old bay and two dips: more of the vinaigrette & sriracha mayo.

I like to treat & go to movies by myself at the Roxie in SF’s Mission 💗

On Oct 7 I saw “Orwell: 2+2=5,” an impeccably timely documentary by Raoul Peck, who was there for Q&A. Wish we had longer together; I learned so much. One brilliant nugget: “Fascists like to make history, not learn from it.”

Thank you to the person who gifted me a cookbook.

No thank you to Amazon who did not include a gift card or any explanation whatsoever.

Old guys: don’t sit in a public place and stare at ppl with your mouth open. It’s creepy. 🫣

Nice 2.9 rumble from the new place (2nd floor) a half hour ago. Didn’t feel a thing but I did HEAR IT! #earthquake #bayarea

The cupcake chop.

Harder than it looks to split evenly. Also I moved houses yesterday did 16,000 steps and got five hours sleep, so. I will practice more. @conniechiiiwa.bsky.social was kind to let me have my 15% of it. 🙃

Me, too much lately: [invited to do a thing] oh thanks, I appreciate your reaching out and inviting me, but [perfectly valid reason]

Them: are you sure? could you change? do X or Y differently?

Me, grumpier: no, but thank you

Them, still asking for change:

Me, about ready to walk into the ocean:

’Tis the season of being so so very grateful for my chosen family… because my blood family is only making my blood boil. 🤬

I cringe the same way when I hear designers say “a feedback” as when they say “a creative”

Healing energy is: picking and eating cherry tomatoes from my backyard garden in November. Green, yellow, and red are all still coming in, and the reds are most voluminous. 🍅❤️‍🔥
