Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE

DS9 scene: Kor, a Klingon, greets Dax as Curzon. Dax corrects him as the host is now in Jadzia, a Trill female. Cor immediately responds, "Jadzia, my beloved old friend" without missing a beat.

Right: Two tweets from 2019: "This Pride Month, never forget that Klingons had trans rights"; "No hostility, no confusion, no clumsy excuse-filled justification, just a quick self-correction and the exact same amount of love and respect before and after. Cis allies: Be like Kor."

There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.

The screenshot of the release notes reads:

A new version of TeX Live Utility is available!
TeX Live Utility 1.55 is now available-you have 1.54. Would you like to download it now?
Release Notes:
Changes Since 1.54
• Fix bug 137, homepage link in Help Book.
• First release in a long time, since I don't use TeX anymore and resent the very idea of paying Apple annually for the privilege of giving away free and open-source software. Also, I'm really lazy. Please accept my apologies for all the annoying issues you've encountered in this mission-critical software.
• Updated mirror list, which was three years out of date.
• Added missing legacy mirrors, which was even more out of date.
• Added an alert on startup when user tries Homebrew's lobotomized MacTex, because those lunatics left timgr but removed its database.
Thanks for nothing, guys. Bug 142 and 144.
• Use a custom user-agent to work around the Anubis bot trap on texlive.info. Can't wait to see what else breaks because of this, thanks to the profusion of degenerate Artificial Insemination fetishists scraping websites to feed their models.
• Lists of countries in Repository/Continent are now sorted. No idea how you people let me get away with that one for the last fifteen years.

my therapist recommended the book Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily Nagoski & Amelia Nagoski after experiencing stress, YOU MUST DO SOMETHING to tell your body that it is safe, otherwise you’re still soaked in stress juice (sorry for weird alt text on a columned table)

partial table from The Burnout Workbook

How to Complete the Cycle
There are lots of ways. Not all of them will work for you, and none of them work for everyone. You probably already know some of the things that work for you, and you’ll recognize them below.

(table column headings)
Cycle-Completing Activity
Defined As
Example
Most Effective When

Moving your body
Physical activity is the single most efficient strategy for completing the stress response cycle.
Any movement at all can help remind your body that it can move you from danger to safety. If it's effective for you, get your body moving enough to breathe deeply for 20 to 60 minutes a day, most days of the week.
Sweat it out by running, swimming, biking, or dancing to Beyonce in your kitchen.
You have access to it, and you need to remind your brain that your body Is a safe place to live.

Sleeping
Your brain practices and completes experiences from the past, helping you process stress among all the other good things sleep does for us).
Probably 7 to 9 hours-in one continuous lump or in multiple chunks, during the part of the day when your body asks for it, depending on whether you're an early bird or a night owl.
You are living in a humon body. If you change only one thing in your life after using this workbook, let it be getting adequate sleep.

Breathing
Deep breathing so that your belly expands and contracts.
Breathe in slowly to a count of 5, hold that breath for a count of 5, slowly exhale for a count of 10, and pause for a count of 5. Repeat 5 times.
Your stress isn't that high, or when you just need to siphon off the very worst of the stress so you can get through a difficult situation, after which you'll do something more hardcore.

Engaging in positive social interaction
Casual but friendly interactions with another person.
Have a polite conversation with your seatmate or say "Nice day" to the barista when you buy your coffee.
Your brain needs a reminder that the world is a safe place.

(page 2 of the table)

Showing affection
Deeper connection with a loving presence who likes, respects, and trusts you, and whom you like, respect, and trust.
Specifically, an action-a long kiss or hug-that tells your body that you are safe with your community.
Kiss your partner for 6 seconds.
Hug someone you love and trust for 20 full seconds, while both of you are supporting your own weight.
Pet a cat or play with a dog.
You are looking for an immediate shift from a state of anxiety to a state of safety.

Laughing
Loud, silly, abdomen-aching, helpless laughter.
Belly laugh with another person-or even reminisce about times you've laughed together.
You want to relieve stress in the easiest, most fun way possible.

Having a big ol' cry
Crying may not change the situation that caused your stress, but it helps you complete the cycle.
The crying may just happen on its own, or you can access it by watching your favorite tear-jerker movie.
You are looking to move from feelings of overwhelm and stuckness into a state of release and relief.

Expressing yourself creatively
Making a thing just for the pleasure of making it can move difficult feelings from inside your body out to a safe place-into a song, poem, mural, sculpture, scarf, meal, etc.
Sing, dance, write, recite, build, carve, cook, knit, paint, draw, etc.
You have the opportunity to dedicate time and resources to making things.

Engaging your imagination
Whether you imagine a thing, or it's actually happening in the world, your brain acts very similarly. This means that you can move your body through a stress cycle using your imagination alone.
Read a book, watch a movie, or play a game with the kind of heroic ending that makes you want to cheer and tell people about it! (Just staring at comfort TV is numbing rather than cycle completing.)
You get carried away by stories. Also convenient if you are limited in
engaging in other cycle-completing activities (i.e., you're on a train or you have really low energy).
