Overeducated nyanbinary housecats yowling into the void. I'm an ML professional passionate about AI ethics and fairness - thus unemployed - but this account is mostly for angry transfeminism, kinky NSFW, and supporting other trauma survivors.

Every time I was asking myself "is this the best it gets when I'm doing so much right?", the answer was "no, this is a low point in a very slow and meandering trend upwards."

I recall crying a fair bit at people saying similar things when I was putting so much energy into coping, surviving, and healing. It got better, and I have been comparatively slacking on my self care these days.

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Civil Action No. ____________
INTRODUCTION
1. Since taking office, the Trump administration has waged an unrelenting campaign
to eliminate legal protections for transgender people and to deny them access to essential health
care. The Rule at issue in this case is the latest salvo in that campaign.
2. On August 13, 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”)
published a final rule categorically prohibiting Federal Financial Participation (“FFP”) for
evidence-based treatments for gender dysphoria—including puberty-delaying medications,
hormone therapy, and surgical interventions1
—for all youth enrolled in Medicaid (under age 18)
and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”) (under age 19). 91 Fed. Reg. 52,406

Let's talk about one of my absolute biggest legal pet peeves: ad damnums. The media gets this wrong ALL. THE. TIME., and as a result, real people get hurt from not understanding how this works and especially when they try representing themselves. See, an "ad damnum" is the prayer for relief -

This is a biology question, with Tuesday being irrelevant, but the probability is greater than 50% About 52.5% of children born are boys, 0.3-0.4% are identical twins, and a mother is more likely to have children of the same sex. So it's somewhere around 53-54%

Leather against skin can be more gentle, but I've had issues with fuzzy or suede linings. But my skin tends to be very reactive, so I switched to a steel collar and now to my permanent titanium one.

Collars are great! I think I've been wearing mine for at least 2 straight months now. Be careful to watch for skin reactions as you begin wearing it for longer. My neck will break out if I wear leather or textiles collars longer than a day.

We traded off strength for some other important abilities, too: heat tolerance, long distance running, and swimming to name a couple.

An adult chimpanzee's hands are strong enough to literally rip a human's face off their skull, and their jaws can crush a human femur. The average chimp is on a whole different level from a peak human fighter.

REMEMBER The guidance coming into effect today doesn't dictate what you're allowed to do as an individual. It for service providers and business owners. Do not cower in fear, do not reduce yourself, do not isolate, that is one of the intended effects.
Photo taken at a protest, he background is tall old buildings of a city centre, a lightskined hand is holding a sign with a trans flag painted on it that says "fuck your "respect and clarity""

Stop Saying There's a Nursing Shortage
The U.S. may have less of a shortage of licensed nurses than a shortage of nurses who are willing to work in bedside jobs that have become increasingly demanding.

I have used insulin syringes off of Amazon for years, which work great for the 40mg/mL vials. The 20mg/mL vials in castor oil won't fill through the tiny needles, though.

Trans people's medical care is under threat, and increasing numbers of trans people are responding by stockpiling the medications they need. Veronica Esposito (@veraeikon.bsky.social) spoke with trans people about medication insecurity and how they're coping. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Many trans people are stockpiling their hormones for emergencies, but this goes further back than the election of Trump.

This is clearly true, if you consider the ages at which trans people come out. I cracked an egg in her 30s last month. She wasn't counted until now because of hatred of trans people.

My theory is that transphobia acts as an outlet for socially unacceptable grievances and traumas. For example, a woman traumatized by men can't safely express their overwhelming anger and fear of men, so they redirect it at trans women

Coming out as trans convinced me that both things are true because Republicans are stupid and cannot see basic connections between things. They can like every trans person they know, think trans people should be wiped out, and not understand how the trans people they know would be impacted by this.
a post says "Your average Republican is pro-IVF, skeptical of six week heartbeat bills, against deporting productive, law-abiding immigrants, and for gay marriage."

the post quoting it says "your average republican thinks theres kitty litter boxes in classrooms and immigrants are eating your pets. your average republican cares more about a Black actress playing the little mermaid."

My working theory is that the 1-2 punch of Trump1+COVID led to an increased understanding of how fucked up and oppressive our economic system has been for decades. You don't suddenly stop being aware of that when your circumstances become temporarily more bearable. It's likely irreversible.

I'm reading that the major warehouse targets last night were in other regions around Elektrostal, Krasnodar, and Stavropol. But Voronezh is along a likely route toward Elektrostal. One explanation is that the hit on the boy's home was related to a downed drone or anti-aircraft munitions.
