Time to quit communicating with 99.9% of the people I know… “You could never create a single account on a single Meta service… and you still aren't safe. If you're talking to someone who has installed Muse, Meta could, presumably, access, read, analyze, and upload that information to its services.”

the linked article is a great read on an important topic: “design debates to create more ‘ethical’ consent mechanisms strengthen the current exploitative business model by legitimizing and normalizing the broken ecosystem that it relies on”

The thing about being a survivor is that you're constantly bombarded with new reminders, and you never get to see justice for any of the victims. I thought I was in a safe marriage to a good person before Christine testified, I still remember every detail of the conversation that changed my mind.

Things people with ADHD (especially women) wish more people knew: "Rejection Sensitivity affects daily lives by causing people to mask, and become disconnected from work, themselves, and others. It is multi-dimensional; not singularly an emotional experience, but also felt strongly in the body."

infographic "The Lived Experiences of Rejection Sensitivity: A Qualitative Exploration" Key points: Rejection Sensitivity is most often felt by those who experience ADHD, and it is significantly underresearched. It has been described as "extreme emotional sensitivity and pain triggered by the perception that a person has been rejected or criticized." .... those who experience Rejection Sensitivity perceive the rejection with often devastating effects.

Main Themes: Masking - used as a tool to hide over-sensitivity, often leading to further rejection and criticism, creating a vicious cycle, and reinforcing the 'tough' exterior mask. Consistent masking has led to a dissocation, causing them to feel unsure of what their true feelings really are.

Withdrawal - they expect rejection, causing them to withdraw, such as avoiding work and withdrawing from friendships and romantic relationships; socially withdrawing reinforces the idea that others are correct to reject them. This leads them to question if there is something wrong with them, causing them to only keep small circles of trusted people.

Bodily sensations - rejection and criticism evokes upleasant and overwhelming physical sensations. Examples in text boxes "feels like a chair has been taken out from beneath you;' "everything inside starts to burn," "paralyzed state"

Conclusion: Rejection Sensitivity affects daily lives by causing people to mask, and become disconnected from work, themselves, and others. It is multi-dimensional; not singularly an emotional experience, but also felt strongly in the body. There is also a possible, implied feature contributing to rejection sensitivity; defence mechanisms. This may account for the use of masking and avoidance behavior...

Tonight's wine is Mirepoix 2021 from Kelsey See Canyon Winery. I had a lovely stop at their tasting room after visiting Avila Beach. So many friendly people, and peacocks! Mirepoix wasn't on the tasting menu, so I brought it home. It's 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.

A glass of deep ruby-colored wine next to a wine bottle with a colorful label that says "2021 Mirepoix"

“It turns out the gravity of the planet itself combined with the rate at which it spins naturally caused the moon to collapse on top of it.” Having enough gravity to make things collapse on top of you is so relatable. Very girl-coded, as is hungering for the moon.

It’s once again been impossible this year to fill prescriptions for ADHD meds consistently, and the barriers to getting them are the kinds of things that are especially difficult to manage when you have ADHD. People don’t realize how dangerous this situation is.

Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.

"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

Each year I see fewer people talking about it so -- updated COVID vaccines were approved by the FDA on August 27, including the 2026-27 update of NUVAXOVID The updated vaccines target XFG (Stratus); doses of all three (Novavax/Sanofi, Pfizer, and Moderna) will be rolling out to pharmacies this week

Letter dated August 27, 2026 from FDA to Sanofi Vaccines US, Inc. approving the June 15, 2026 request to supplement the Biologics License Application for NUVAXOVID COVID-19 Vaccine, Adjuvanted, to include the 2026-27 formula. The rest of the letter addresses labeling requirements and postmarketing commitments. Original document at https://www.fda.gov/media/194512/download?attachment

Screenshot of the FDA website showing information updated August 27, 2026 for the Sanofi NUVAXOVID Vaccine, showing the 2026-27 formula update "Each 0.5 mL dose of NUVAXOVID (2026-2027 Formula) contains 5 mcg of recombinant spike glycoprotein (rS) of the SARS-CoV-2 JN.1-descendent variant XFG and 50 mcg Matrix-M adjuvant."
