Most voters think it's fucking weird that transgender people keep coming up in conversation all the fucking time by politicians who have extremely important issues that need immediate action. It's like if your house was on fire, but the fireman wanted to talk to you about his Pokémon collection.

Why are you trans? Wrong answers only. Women are underrepresented in STEM fields. I figured I’d be part of the solution, instead of part of the problem.

Symphogear is just a joy, I am so glad I was able to share the first season with my girlfriend. Can hardly wait to watch the remainder of the second season with jackal. Afterwards, I can inflict that season on others~

Define that as you like, it does not concern me. Call it my religion, if it makes it more clear. But at the end of the day, I am just me. I am Kysh. And I am proud of who I am, and all I've done.

The word from podiatry is that my tendon is stressed in the middle, but also, thicker than most... so I am to Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate while maintaining through other exercise, and when I recover, long term I should have pretty good odds.

I do think the right combination of support and encouragement would have got me started at various points from seventeen to when I actually started. Treating ADHD was important to the path I took, but circumstances could have brought me there without it, totally.

I grew up undiagnosed. Outside of losing myself in books and games and romance, I couldn't stay on target. I was volatile. In my youth, medication was to be avoided. Folks who took it were cheating, or doping, or weak. I just had to "work harder." I couldn't outwork the lack of neurotransmitters.

As it has always been, and always will be. The "concern" over the integrity of women's sports is primarily voiced by people who don't care a jot for women and their sports.

Which do you prefer; butch, or femme?
A selfie of a blonde woman, her hair tucked up under a denim flat cap, sitting in a red wooden chair. Towers and plant life are visible behind her, as she smiles, eyes on the camera. She is wearing a black tank top with three scenes on it, thin cat-eye framed glasses, and some sort of silver chain necklace.A blonde woman with her long hair down, sitting in the driver's seat of her car. She is wearing a black dress with roses on it, and cat eye framed glasses with flower patterns on the upper part of the frame. Her smile is gentle, and her hair cascades to either side.

It is too late to help Talarico, but if anyone who reads this ever runs for office, keep this in mind. Throwing a minority under the bus once your support for them is targeted is never a winning play. You show your allies, enemies and would-be constituents that you're a weak, unreliable coward.

I was out for about three weeks. I had that lunch in Olympia with the girls, then ran into some friction at the Canadian border, but made it through by the power of fatigue, straight talk, embarrassment, and the righteous fury of a friend.

In forty eight hours I decided to go to Canada, booked a flight to Seattle, packed for 2 to 3 weeks away, talked with some friends who are graciously grabbing lunch with me in Olympia, and made plans to probably fly to Denver after I return to the States, and subsequently take the train home.

Sasha has opened up preorders for her upcoming book, Ephemeris, which I want to recommend to y'all! Ephemeris is a bold and brutal space opera which traverses identity, political intrigue, the weight of principle, and the rot at the heart of society. (1/?)

Two weeks ago I stubbed my foot on a piece of luggage and dislocated a toe. Today, after retaping my dislocated toe which is still healing, I tripped over a scooter battery on the floor, and tore the nail on my big toe. I think I need to check my calcium and biotin. Also my floors.

This is why we have an obligation to humanize and contextualize our quantitative analysis, which is useless at best and often harmful in the absence of the qualitative.

The GPU continues to run perfectly, in fact there is headroom to overclock should I feel the desire. I wonder how many discarded GPUs really can be brought back with thirty dollars of supplies and forty five minutes of labour.

I have a few odd comfort watches, most of which I haven't seen in some time. Let me share a few! Four Brothers. There aren't a lot of Thanksgiving films, and even fewer Thanksgiving revenge films with an emphasis on family. Chiwetel Ejiofor is a wild villain, and I'll watch Andre 3000 is anything.

I think it is no surprise that most women have low confidence in their medical care, given that confidence in care should be a reflection of the effective, consistent, supportive provision of care.
