Just some middle-aged Gen X'er whose primary purpose in life is to be a worthwhile homestead partner and pet parent.

Also still does super amateur-level videography by request. I know how to frame a shot, but have more intuition than disciplined skill.

Hey everyone,

We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history.

Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From!
This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

The person shot in Minneapolis was driving a Honda SUV covered in bumper stickers. She wasn't a fucking domestic terrorist. She was a resident concerned about her neighbors being kidnapped.

Looks like I can finally talk about this!

I'm making my audio commentary debut thanks to @vinsyn.bsky.social on their upcoming release of Rachel Talalay's iconic TANK GIRL. I get nerdy about this, I argue, '90s feminist Western that I'm so happy I discovered last year. Pre-order the 4K disc now.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Gift receipts are for the weak.

You make that person hide that monstrosity in the back of their closet and remember to bring it out when you come over.

That's how I establish dominance.

Yet with the woes of sin and strife
the world has suffered long;
beneath the heavenly hymn have rolled
two thousand years of wrong;
and man at war with man hears not
the tidings which they bring;
O hush the noise and cease the strife
and hear the angels sing!

1. New federal rules were released last week banning gender affirming care for youth at hospitals nationwide.

Those rules don't go into effect until public comment, months from now.

But it appears Sec. Kennedy is using an arcane process to try to implement them immediately.

Our latest story.
HHS Sec. Kennedy Attempts To Stop Trans Youth Care In Hospitals Nationwide—Before New Federal Rules Take Effect
Like many of the Trump regime’s attempted powergrabs, this kind of piecemeal and disheveled rulemaking is enforced at least in part by fear and sheer uncertainty.
