Star Trek, slow living sometimes, anti-fascist always.
Eat, drink, and get that new notebook.

I'm invoking a power from the universe within me, the stardust, to speak as truthfully and bluntly as possible because we simply do not have time for anything else; to seize opportunities to do thankless work that matters to someone in need; to sacrifice convenience sometimes but not humanity.
I'm gonna take the wins where I can get them and today the win is that I went more than 6 weeks since my last period
the end is near

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."

That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Linguistics question: I think on the old site, there was a thread talking about the relationship between stench/stink and drench/drink, and then a question about whether the word quink once existed following the same pattern for quench.
Does anyone know about this?

"No purity tests"

Nah, if you can't support human rights for all people, and yes that includes trans people, you not only shouldn't get to run for office, you shouldn't be speaking at all until you get your heart fixed

If it's so fucking useful then go do that useful thing with it! Make something that doesn't look like lazy shit! File a bunch of legal briefs that don't make a judge want to vaporize you where you stand! Fuck off!

Just a couple years ago it was "have fun being poor," "your job is going away, you're being replaced loser," "you better reskill because this is the only thing that matters now." So yeah I'm hostile to the idea and I think everyone into it is a thief and a loser

nor are we breathing like we should!

intentional breathing is a game changer.
Yoga is really real. Even gentle yoga will wear you out because usually, we’re not stretching like we should.

Is it time for my self-defense lecture again?

Lots of folks ask me what the best self-defense thing is to train. I always answer: track and field.

The best thing you can do to defend yourself is not be where someone can hurt you. Running away is ideal.

Hasbro: currently headquartered in Pawtucket, RI and moving to Boston, MA
I'm not in a position to spearhead such a thing, but if someone organizes a campaign to let Hasbro know what we think of toys that enrich a woman who would rather trans kids die than be treated as human children with human rights, please lmk & I will support & boost.
