My sweet little Tomtom crossed the rainbow bridge tonight. He passed away in my wife's arms as we were whisking him to the animal hospital not long after this extremely bright rainbow appeared behind our house. Rest in peace my precious boy - you were such a loving and sweet cat 😭💔

Yeah you have a tendency to pull it out of your bun and have it fall like you're in a damn shampoo commercial 😅 Meanwhile this is how I look after the same night 🥲

Trump literally said as much last year - annexation through economic coercion. Anyone leaving this out is either so misinformed that they aren't worth listening to, or deliberately omitting it to mislead people.

Transcript of a press session with Donald Trump from early in 2025:

REPORTER 1: Are you also considering military force to annex and acquire Canada?

DONALD TRUMP: No. Economic force. Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something. You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like. And it would also be much better for national security...

Doubly nice to be able to cool off in the lake afterwards 😊

So nice to see the gains from a summer of training in this comparison between my first 5K time ever and running the exact same route three and a half months later. Strava only captured 4.99km back on May 17 so it's not showing the time here but it was 44:41 for that

Requiring that a password START with a letter is wild to me. It's also suspicious that my old password is suddenly too long - a 20 character maximum is a weird limitation in 2026. All in all this site has inexplicably lowered its security standards which leaves me with all sorts of questions

A password input with the label New Password, and a 20 digit long password input into the box. The box is red indicating an error.

Three criteria are visible:
* In green with a checkmark: Must be between 8 and 20 characters long
* In red with an X: Must start with a letter (A-Z, a-z)
* In green with a checkmark: Must contain at least one digit (0-9)

I don't like Amazon but I have to admit it's pretty nice that I was able to replace my KVM with something comparable in less than 24h

I was browsing my high school yearbooks a few days ago and decided to track the progression of queer representation over the years. I love that trans people were included as early as 1999-2000 but I do wonder what sort of politicking may have been involved in our exclusion the two following years

Why did you transition? Right answers only. I knew from 24 that I wanted the effects of estrogen and by 35 after the birth of my second child I had no more excuses not to so I had to take the leap of faith rather than spend the rest of my life wondering "What if?" I'm glad I took that leap.

You and your miserable party failing to recognize that repeatedly attacking trans peoples' human rights hasn't earned any support from the far-right electorate is going to make it extra satisfying to see you be a one-term government in a couple of years. But y'all already have blood on your hands

Sarah Owen MP (sarahowen.org.uk) posts in a thread on the May 21st EHRC guidance: Organisations which also want to remain trans-inclusive need to receive support on how to do so within the law. In a similar way, those that wish to exclude trans men and women from their spaces also need to know how to do so without breaching individual rights to privacy. (6/7)

Went on my second run of the season and feel a whole lot better than I did after the first one. Shame that the forecast is terrible over the next few days but I'll probably try to get to the gym at least once to compensate

This TDoV I reflect on how truly incredible transition is. Over six years ago, I never could have imagined just how much colour and love it would bring to my life. It has been such a wonderful experience, marred only by the words and actions of some cis people - a few of them well-meaning, most not
