Whenever I think of buying something, I'd rather try to make it myself first. Within some amount of reason 😅😆
I made some dresser drawer locks for moving. The design could be more robust but I used what I had.
And they're way less ugly than most child locks 🤣

Speaking of beds, my garbage packed bed risers are holding up swell. 2.5 years so far.
It's 2 packed med bottles in a cross inside a larger plastic container that has fabric packed into it too.
I used fabric scraps to pack it.

We had her tied up outside the other day and there was a pitbull in our yard that we don't know.
So I brought her in the house for a bit, and tied her up with her service dog leash cause my mom was supposed to be coming up and then she could be by my mom.
She chewed through it 🥴

My mom pushed two beds together and put my foam and pillow toppers on it.
So it's like I have a king size bed for a while 😆

And then I used the shitty straps to let down the top of my canopy bed, corner by corner
With a little ingenuity and suffering, every two person job I can do myself.
And then I die a little afterwards.

The straps that came with it sucked and just started shredding at the ends.
But I had some good straps for my gymnastic rings I used.
And by golly it all fit in the back of my prius.

Rural ancient house repairs: my dad using his truck's trailer hitch to increase the travel for a hydraulic jack.
You can hear the house move.
This is like a huge refactoring the worst legacy code or adjusting the skeleton of a whale while inside it 😅

My body aches pretty bad and I had to lay down in the middle of the day for a while. But I don't seem to be crashing.
Yet? 😅
Flipped my sleep schedule in a couple days, so instead of being awake until sunrise, I'm getting up with my parents then.

Day 1 of renovating my childhood home with my parents for me & my sister to rent it.

She has not packed or carried a single item, but Pepper Ann is also over moving.
I think she'll forgive me when she has a yard and more people to get attention from 😆

When I bleached the front a few weeks ago, I was surprised the ends turned out pink. Bob ross happy accident, I liked the gradient 😅
I've only had a salon dye my hair once when I was 17 and never again 😆

Went from light hair with a dark moneypiece (face framing) to dark hair with light. In 3 months. I think I like the former better, but I wanted to do less bleach for a while.
This is my favorite haircut as a genderfluid gargoyle.

Election takes are ONLY allowed if they are witty.
Anywayz, I'm Schrödinger's disabled. People wouldn't listen to us begging them to mask during an ongoing pandemic, but we still swung the election to a man who blames plane crashes on us.

Me and @audreynical.bsky.social were talking about neighborhoods tonight.
Reminded me that we have a little free tree library in my city!

Did my nails today. I just painted over the old polish because Zoya never comes off and who has the patience for polish remover 😆
Not my best work but I still like them.
I've never had a mani/pedi in a salon and I never will. 💅
Black and gold is such a vibe

Took Pep out for midnight fetch cause it's the only way I can get her enough exercise and when I went to pick up the toy I was throwing..
I ripped my pj pants.
I mean they are probably a decade old but I don't think I've ever ripped pants open like this before.

A lot of times people compare this unfounded fear of kids being turned trans against school shootings or some other real risk.
I don't think I've ever heard someone compare it to the real threat of male circumcision.

And that is happening to babies with, at best, a local anesthetic cream?
And circumcised infants show an increased pain response to vaccination..
Even *if* their pain was controlled during the initial procedure, its months of pain while healing.

![According to Geisheker (2013, p. 24), “Only 14% of US neonates enduring circumcision received any anesthesia… [often] a topical ointment, ineffective… and contraindicated for neonates or when applied to mucosal tissue.” [85]
According to Taddio et al. (p. 599), “Circumcised infants showed a stronger pain response to subsequent routine vaccination than uncircumcised infants…” [78]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xvsk4temccswa6dnui6qahtu/bafkreia2cuakvljszqvn5jcmpek5dlies7qindup5zx5ww2i2vddn66tv4@jpeg)

When I found out about infant male circumcision when I was 15, I was horrified.
With everything that has been done to my body without my consent, I can't imagine the pain of finding out part of your genitals was cut off for no reason.
I also had a partner with these sexual issues from circumcision

![According to Menage [158] , circumcised men who have become aware that their sexual dysfunction may be at least partially a consequence of having been circumcised during infancy or childhood, have reported feelings of helplessness, abuse, frustration, and of being violated. Moreover, as Bensley and Boyle (2001, p. 215) re- ported, “Psychological consequences as a result of…surgery are well recognized in the medical literature (McGuire & Parkes [159] ). Potential effects of loss of body parts are: 1. Grief for altered body image or function, or both. 2. Anxiety, depression, and sexual problems. 3. Avoidance of or obsessive preoccupation with the loss.” [113]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xvsk4temccswa6dnui6qahtu/bafkreibslroexzc3hstdxz7wwiv3wc4dhw4q3niqd3ryqbm7kbmmojkjky@jpeg)
