Since going on Testosterone: 1. I have less joint pain and way better movement in my body! My connective tissue disorder that was never addressed is doing fine. 2. I get way fewer migraines!! 3. I actually have better functioning bowels. There's more, but this proves your point.

This is somehow the most beautiful but demanding editor I've ever laid eyes on. I'd write words if she demanded. (The lesson in getting from this is I need a cat).

We teach our daughter to be suspicious of any man who claims to be a "good guy" and this is why. Cis men, by and large, do not know what it takes to be a good guy. There obviously are ones who do, but until I see more doing this... I won't trust self proclaimed good guys.

I was trying to explain the origin of the name for turkeys to my daughter earlier and seeing her delight over how so many languages just named turkeys after other countries, none of which turkeys are native to was perfection. We definitely need more fun language facts to keep us sane in these times.

This is the info I was looking for on this thread. I have my own domains with their own emails and I currently have had to feed them through my Gmail app to access them or login to my computer and I hate it. So thank you. I will look into this tomorrow.

I had a breast cancer scare at 30 and got a mammogram. The knowledge that I can never have to have a mammogram again is one of my favorite parts of not having boobs.

It's the worst. I've been having those dreams lately but about some of my own things. I'm sorry you're dealing with that.

Doing things the easy way? When I can have a new name? Pshhh... Anyway. My legal name change went through in March and now I'm doing a rebrand with a different last name on all my socials. Because... Reasons. So if you followed me as PopeSimonX, it's still me. I just... Got creative.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

I guess I'm not part of my family. I didn't get an official invite at Thanksgiving and I just found out that my dad didn't include me in the invite to Christmas. I'm so fucking tired.

I bought a dick candle for some candle magic and today was the last burn. All that's left is this:

The number one reason I feel hope right now is Republicans are starting to push back. Trump has been in office less than a year and people on the right are starting to say "well, actually, this is terrible." Don't get me wrong. It's not enough yet, but it does give me hope.

May every Congressional Republican follow MTG’s lead.
Marjorie Taylor Green has been in Congress since 2020 and is resigning as of Jan 5,
2026. And I just want to point out one thing.

She spent 5 years in Congress attacking the left-and never feared for her life or safety to any level that would make her resign.

She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing the
MAGA right and the backlash was so severe she is resigning.

5 years of antagonizing the left resulted in no action. 5 weeks of criticizing the right resulted in resignation.
That says it all.

My favorite sign I've ever seen in the wild:
Sign with images from Southern Utah, including the red rocks and a dune buggy and a man biking. 

The words say: 

How to Poop in the desert 
We all do it. 
But what's the best way? 
Dealing with Your waste is an important part of your Southern Utah Trip. These are the top three options when you have to go
Outhouses 
Portable Toilets
Wag Bags

Pack it out 
Take portable toilets to dump stations. Take wag bags to waste stations or identified containers in Moab. Don't put Wag bags and trash in outhouses.

Catholes are illegal
In the desert, there's very little water. Buried poop + toilet paper bag down very slowly and contain pathogens which spread disease. You should always plan on packing out your poop and toilet paper. 

Poop with a plan. 

Canyonlands
(And some illegible words)

At the store looking at holiday decorations, Z complained about how much wreaths are and I pointed out that's tariff pricing (wreaths have cost more than they are worth for a while, imo, but I've looked for them enough times in my life that I know they are priced higher this year).

Anyway, I know that this image is from the UK, but the attitude definitely exists here in the US. I find it problematic anytime people put the blame for poverty on individuals rather than addressing the system that causes it. 5/

The funny thing is some of my family that didn't agree with my sister were part of the help I needed. I am where I am today because when one person saw my actions as destructive, another saw me as trying to heal. 4/

Is that me deliberately making myself destitute? My sister seemed to think so. Who gets to decide who deliberately made themselves destitute and who didn't? Call me cynical, but I've yet to see a government put qualifiers like that into effect and not misuse them. 3/

For those who have no context, I came out as a late bloomer lesbian in 2020, left my husband and my religion behind and then in 2021, came out as trans. That journey took me all across the US and the only reason I never slept on the streets was because people helped me. 2/

Beans.Simon @beanssimon.bsky.social · 18/11/2025
How do you define "deliberately made themselves destitute"? When I was near homeless and trying to get on my feet, my sister tried to stop my family from helping. Her logic mostly came down to the belief that if I hadn't left my husband, I would be fine, so this was all my fault. 1/

Is KFC still good in other countries? My expectations of KFC at this point are so low that when I get it, I'm always sure that it can't be as bad as I remember. It's always somehow worse. Today's edition: wings. It's so over cooked, there is no finger licking. How do you fuck up *wings*???

I saw a 65" TV at my grocery store today (it has a small electronic section). It costs less than 2 weeks of groceries for 2 people. I don't know how to function in this reality.

We get Wendy's biggie bags most of the time we get fast food because feeding both of us with that is cheaper than we can get with almost any other fast food option. Sometimes I want to get a spicy chicken sandwich, but I can't bring myself to buy a normal priced meal. 😮‍💨

There's some things that I buy in person for this exact reason, but we mostly do orders now. I had to put my gf in charge of the order because the panic when the order is processed is way less than the panic of actually tallying up how much everything is going to cost as I put it in the cart. 🙃

I've been a massage therapist for 15 years. 5 years ago I got a degree in biomedical engineering. Last night I taught medical terminology to a bunch of students at the massage school. No matter how much I learn about the human body, I'm always amazed at the weird shit it does. Bodies are wild.

While I never believed Trump's promise that he was in any way going to help the economy for average Americans, I'm still blindsided by how much extra I'm having to pay for things lately. I swear I have a panic attack every time we buy groceries.

Whose going to tell them Corgis looking like that is also because of genetic abnormalities and likely inbreeding? It's legit why mutts tend to be healthier. They're less likely to get two recessive genes leading to "abnormalities". Anyway, diversity is great! share.google/CGMIMhmwdFFB...

The last time I saw my sister (in 2020), she was defending Trump and I brought this up. She tried brushing it aside by saying none of it had been proven. I wonder what she's thinking today. (Not enough to find out, but I sure hope she is doing some deep reflection.) Anyway, trust victims.

Bob Ross was just ASMR. If you don't believe me, put on a Bob Ross video and look at anything else while it's playing. Just listen. The fact he also made phenomenal paintings while he did it and educated people at the same time is just amazing.

Can you imagine if alien conservationists showed up right now? "These peach colored bipeds have migrated beyond their natural habitat and these brown ones over here also seem to have migrated. We need to cull both groups before they completely destroy the native populations".
