Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 04/10/2026it is extra cool when you are set to move and the real estate and rental contracts are super binding anyway, never take a job with expedia kids 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Now I assume you keep yourself busy by GMing ttrpg campaigns where the players are union miners trying to save their valley from the pinkertons. 020
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The only good thing fraternities provide is guilt free martial arts practice. 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Happens to trans women too, doctors just love piss and aren't afraid to demonstrate how little attention they are paying to your chart to get it. 140
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 22/09/2026nah i love it when private equity captures a dentist and forces them to tell you you have 16 cavities when you have none and I'm excited now that insurance companies own healthcare providers for that kind of Repo level ass thinking to come to body medicine as well 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 22/09/2026they've been doing it for years with only marginally more cognition 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I'm sorry, but apparently he is helping people sue the city for when the city knew ground zero wasn't safe but told them it was and now they have cancer (etc) and released a bunch of documents from the coverups back to Giuliani. 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 18/09/2026my relationship with my other endocrinologist for the diabetes is exactly the same, so I think this is just how medicine works now. doctors are too busy to do the work and outsource to the patients at least when the patients are savvy and advocate for themselves. 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I go through a specific online group that caters to us and basically gets me labs and a proxy NPI (National Provider Identifier). That is kind of how I like my healthcare though 🤷♀️ I assume the doc would stop me if I asked for something insane, but I haven't tested that. 110
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 16/09/2026it is important to be able to understand how truly dumb an event was while still having a deep reverence for the complex intersectionality of a colorado pride flag with a silhouette of a bulldozer on it the vibes are immaculate but the details kind of sucked 020
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 16/09/2026it still boggles the mind why they try to shoot the rapids on the side when the main channel is deep and clear water is it just for adrenaline or are these their actual beliefs? it is patently absurd to think anyone hates trans people enough to vote for a Democrat over a Republican 000
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 16/09/2026at least the Granby one didn't kill anyone (other than the man himself), but the earlier Alma incident in 98 did. I lived there for a while, people don't speak of it as a glorious event, mental illness and hypoxia mostly. circular saws are much quicker and cleaner than dozers for aluminum poles 110
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 13/09/2026the only class of people with fewer members than trans folks are people who would rank us as their top political priority. 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 13/09/2026it shouldnt be an issue the dems entertain, if someone asks about the transgender menace, they should just pivot to talking about issues that actually matter to americans like the ecconomy, corruption, international alliances, trade, pointless forever wars, jobs, wages, healthcare, anything really. 111
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 09/09/2026when you think it is fine and look away and then look back and it is like someone dumped a bucket of blood on you at the school dance 030
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 05/09/2026going fking nuts to protect fetuses (charging women who miscarry w murder, forcing women to carry dead tissue to term, etc) does vastly more harm than good even from a christano-fascist pronatalist perspective the suffering is the more important goal, they believe they can always import more women 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 05/09/2026as someone who desperately regrets not having the ability to print life, you are also very correct america increasingly fails to protect women and children 110
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 04/09/2026what are the harmful consequences? being awesome and happy? I can understand why the government would want to prevent that. 070
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 04/09/2026thinking about doing whatever i need to do to be a therapist, they seem to have endless work 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 29/08/2026these are some pretty open to interpretation nothing berger politician comments obviously exuberant support for trans folks would be preferred but I'm not going to not vote for these people to run my state over the Republicans who openly want to kill me progress sometimes is one step at a time 000
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 25/08/2026crescent wrenches don't even make the cool ratcheting sounds when you use them, that's like 100% of the fun gone. 030
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 24/08/2026If you look at ancient cultures, or single sex groups in prisons, military, religious seclusion, it is pretty obvious people are way more sexually flexible than anyone in modernity gives our species credit for. We exist in an odd bubble of heterosexuality enforced by various patriarchal religions. 070
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 19/08/2026If they are going to start going after trans folks for paperwork 'errors', I assume tax filings etc are all on the table. I'm sure they will try to have it both ways too: use deadname, get prosecuted for not using current name; use current name, get prosecuted for not using deadname. yikes. 0170
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 14/08/2026prepare for the worst as best you can, but remember the whole regime is dependent on one extremely unpopular unhealthy old man so things could change fast a lot of different ways, and the courts have a good chance of overturning this particular thing. 042
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 11/08/2026hopefully enshitification eventually collapses existing structures and we can rebuild new ways or resurrect old ways of existing. 000
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 06/08/2026sorry I'm want-ads in the newspaper lv old facebook marketplace sucks because there is no way I'm logging into a meta owned service meta only exists for laughs when their identity system goes down and they can't open the door to reboot it because they single point of failured too close to the sun. 020
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 04/08/2026you can do the classic wolverine sideburns if it isn't too on the nose 120
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 04/08/2026they are transparently asking the government to mow the grass for them 000
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 04/08/2026are you some sort of weird argument bot that doesn't know what side it is on? gl with that i guess 110
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Meanwhile at the commercial gym no one will spot you but everyone is looking at you. 030
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I love that the benches don't have any political message on them because the benches are the message. unfortunately we live in an era where a few people are more able to solve city problems than the city government, whether it is the dsa making benches or libertarians filling in potholes. 010
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 01/08/2026It was one thing to support Israel back when we thought we could still sort out a lasting peace, but to support them now while they are very actively doing a genocide and dragging America's geriatricly impaired government into starting wars on their behalf is so cringe she might as well be maga. 110
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Don Kissick has an opportunity to do the funniest thing. I don't know anything about him, but he couldn't be worse than Vivek or this Miller-Meeks clone. 020
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I wondered if this was all a ruse to give Clark a break from the fouls, but Cunningham only is on the court for 9 minutes a game, so more likely she's auditioning for a job with fox uǝʍs. 020
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 30/07/2026catholics still drink from a communal chalice their faith in christ may be suspect but their faith in alcohol is resolute 000
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Unfortunately the dystopia seems to be leaning hard into armed autonomous llm powered drones and away from cybernetically enhanced chihuahua street samurai. 220
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I would counter convert her to some other random religion. 🤷♀️ 130
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 24/07/2026imagine cloning yourself to live longer, instead of clone cracking, what a weirdo. 110
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 22/07/2026make him head of dogei, department of guys experiencing ice. 120
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 21/07/2026she should drop out we don't need a governor fetterman 090
Tess 🏳️⚧️ @gortess.bsky.social · 21/07/2026You should drop out, you do not hold american values. Let someone who can actually win run. 060
