of all the good things to thank our trans pals for, the one I most appreciate is how seeing someone mention HRT on my timeline always reminds me right when I need to remember to take my own HRT, prescribed for my old-ass cis body to continue working.

wait, you're telling thinking about nothing but The Task for ever and ever and then you can't do it because it's the hardest task ever is *not* typical?
It's hard to get neurotypicals to understand "I didn't do the task because I was so intensely aware of the need to do this that my brain built a wall around the concept of doing it", so we just say "I didn't do the task because I forgot."

I like to think that the generations following us have the comforting knowledge that everything is fucked up, whereas my cohort was at this cusp when a lot of people still bought into meritocracy.

REMEMBER
If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

I've only recently realized that my soul-deep loathing of sports betting is related to my equally deep loathing of the stock market. You're betting on someone else's loss, someone else's suffering and that seems kind of terrible?
Sports betting is just so awful, and although I realize the biggest problem is how many people get absolutely financially and emotionally destroyed by gambling addiction, I also despite how it reifies this new way of relating to sports -- you're not rooting for a team, you're just chasing $$$.

Talk to your gen x sisters, pals. We’re mostly ok but we have stories
Honestly, until like the 1970s or 1980s, people have held the attitude that adult men having sex with teenagers is "normal" and "biologically wired." They still believe it, they just learned to stop talking about it openly at some point.
Conservatives when it's a 15 year old in library; "These are children and I can't believe we are letting them read smut like Twilight!!!"
Conservatives when it's a 15 year old sex trafficking victim; "Looks, these people are practically legal. Barely legal even"

I am so in love with this painting and now I have a new-to-me artist to look at this evening
This week in Art I Am Obsessed With: this self-portrait by Suzanne Valadon. It looks so incredibly contemporary (I would literally wear that exact outfit on hot summer day) but it’s from 1923. Anyway, love a queen with flowy pants and a dangling cigarette!
