Important appointment tomorrow with an endocrinologist. My hope is that this will help us determine if surgery or a dopamine agonist is the treatment plan ahead. Another hope: that we begin treatment soon, because I don’t feel great. #macroadenoma

We can’t teach schoolchildren HOMES to memorize the Great Lakes anymore, so I propose a new mnemonic device for it: SHAME.

So maybe I mapped, conceived of a world, defined a new magic system, and wrote up a dungeon system in two days so my kids and friends could play a D&D campaign next week. It was just as fun as I remember.

I was just informed by a cis person that trans people don’t have the luxury of looking into the root causes or intersections of transphobia. If you think trans folx can’t see the misogyny in transphobia, you’re not paying attention.

Another day, another waiting game to get an endocrinologist appointment so we can identify the mass on my pituitary. My MRI results came back on July 24 at 3.2 cm. American health care is not working.

I’m still waiting to see a specialist after two MRIs revealed a mass on my pituitary. I think I’m on referral number 5. Left eye is starting to blur and I’m losing my peripheral vision. US healthcare should not operate this way.

Sovereign governments are in place to protect the people they serve and to improve the standard of living by collecting resources of the people for their lives. Smothering proper research goes against the fundamentals of governance. I expected more from Canada.

I was the first trans person to run for office in Washington State, back in 2018. I lost my race, but never stopped dedicating myself to working for my community. To see how well Jaelynn Scott is doing in her race warms my heart. She’s talented, smart, and a hard worker!

I got some rough news last week that I have a 3cm macroadenoma on my pituitary gland. At least I have an explanation for my dizziness, headaches, neuropathy, &fatigue. But there’s a busy nonprofit to manage, a community to serve, and a family to love…so I’ll work my medical process to get thru this.

the egg price thing under biden was all fake lol
From mid-2022 to early 2025, the egg producers communicated with each other to coordinate bidding activity on a widely used pricing service, according to a complaint filed in a federal court in Iowa.
The complaint details instances of executives for the companies calling and texting each other in an effort to push prices higher.
Under the settlement, the state DOJ says the three companies must end their price coordination, adopt compliance measures and cooperate with

I went to the WW Penitentiary Thursday, to support their third annual Pride festival. I met 4 trans women who were working through preserving identity in the confines of corrections. I talked to veterans, people who been inside for decades. It was gratifying to see all the places Pride can foster.

Autism is a “social contagion.” Trans people are “domestic terrorists.” Black people are gerrymandered out of power. Immigrants are deported…anywhere. Citizens are denaturalized. So much to say here, but I’ll just note: It’s impossible to keep this much hate going indefinitely.

The edge of a blue house, or maybe more properly stated as the corner, jutting out next to a miniature maple tree, which contrasts against the blue paint with its own emerging red leaves; another early spring tree behind it is a bright green. The picture cannot show us the merry tubes of songbirds chirping to each other in the branches, nor render the fine light blue of the sky. This is my front porch and it is a little balm against the stress of my governments assertions of war crimes.
