If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

Hindsight is 20:20 and that's a curse. I remember enjoying the fact that I liked things that weren't stereotypically masculine and I was always confused by gender categories and that makes so much sense looking back, but it was such a process to learn to fit in the "correct" gender.

And telling us "good luck living under republican leadership" is absolutely batshit. We already do. They already suck. Criticism is not the same thing as refusing to vote. Y'all are only barely better than the "leave if you don't like it" crowd, and that's being generous.

Trans people pointing out a democrat's failures on trans issues don't make them lose their race. Their complete inability to inspire people and the fact that they spend every cent they have pandering to the centrists and the mythical "reasonable republicans" are why they lose.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate says something transphobic? Just start giving me the money. Trans person complains about the lack of elected officials who see us as people? Cha-ching

If I got $5 every time some cis fuckwad in this state told trans people how to feel about things that affect us, I'd be the one buying every god damned election and Ohio would have the majority of elected leftists in the world.

This is what being a US citizen feels like constantly. Living is expensive. Being a citizen here is expensive. And you have to fill out way too many forms. Also, the IRS website timed out while I was filling out a pdf, so I had to repeat a lot of it.

Me: I'm poor, here's proof. Government: You owe more in taxes than you ever have before. Me: Can I get some time? Gov.: Six months Time passes Me: Still poor. Here's proof. Gov.: Fill out these forms to tell us why you're poor. Me: Ok I guess Gov.: We'll think about it for an unspecified time.

Stargazing 5 xkcd.com/3301/
4-panel comic. (1) [Black background with person with shoulder-length hair with raised arms in front in white, with figures in gray in the background.] PERSON 1: Welcome to stargazing! I’m back, despite efforts by astronomers who hate cool space facts to cover me up so I can’t see the sky anymore! Nice try, losers! Next time buy a tarp that’s harder to chew through! (2) [Person looks toward binoculars in hand.] PERSON 1: Now, let’s spy on some stars! Does everyone have binoculars? If you don’t, find someone looking at birds and try to grab theirs. Stars are the birds of the sky. (3) [Close-up on Person but with white background.] PERSON 1: But stars aren’t the only weird lights. Sometimes the sky fills with rippling colors. That’s the sky’s screensaver. It’s very pretty, so don’t move your mouse and ruin it. (4) [Switch back to black background, person points up while figures in background look toward where she’s pointing.] PERSON 1: That blob is a comet. People used to think they were harbingers of doom. We now know they’re boring, so we have to find new reasons to use the word “harbinger.” I’m a harbinger of astronomy! Cool facts are nigh!

ATTENTION BLUESKY! Annie says they are really hoping to boost the number of artists (crew, performers, creative teams, anyone) outside New York who are filling this out to get a broader sampling. If you are in the arts please take a second and fill this out!

Glad it was laid back! The furthest I've ever driven solo was about 350 miles and I hated it, though a lot of the hate was because of West Virginia roads. Too much up and down AND too much side to side at the same time for me and my prius haha

It genuinely blows my mind the degree to which people in power do not grasp (or just refuse to acknowledge) that encampments are preferable to shelters for a whole lot of people, for a long list of reasons.

I would really love to not be a political topic. Honestly, I wish I didn't have to think about politics. I hate politics. But I have to follow shit because we're constantly deciding between evil and mediocre. I wish I could trust that the people in charge would have good intent and plans.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this Also the three interesting facts thing is so real. Like, I am so boring and don't like talking to people I don't know. Don't make me tell people things that make them want to talk to me.

Crochet update 🧶 33 rows down (about 8%). I have 10 rows left on the first large flower and 356 rows of the project. So far, I've used around 455.6 feet of crochet thread. I like how the middle of this flower worked out with the little checkerboard motif. Can't wait to get to the second flower.

Fat person: *describes a specific experience with a doctor in a conversation about health care issues fat people face* Skinny person: "It's bad as a skinny person too, so it's not just you." But that's not the conversation I'm having... Read the room.

I'm aiming to get about 25 rows done a week, which is totally doable. Should be done in November, but that gives me plenty of buffer for mistakes and slow weeks.

I have created a pattern for the most ambitious crochet project I will have ever done: a 7-foot long and 1-foot wide table runner with flower motifs surrounded by vines. It will be 389 rows long and 107 stitches wide. The chart is 10 pages long. The shortened written pattern is 14. 🧶
