5 years ago today I went out dressed as a woman for the first time. (I had my therapist take the picture. :) I shared the event and photo on twitter and it went minorly viral (1000+ shares and lots of congrats), but the most touching reply was someone who sent me a drawing commemorating it!

A woman with long gray hair, wearing a black mask, white blouse, black skirt, and black shoes, poses for a photo. Their skirt is caught on a couch, which makes it flare out like it was an action photo.

Traveling with Aranet CO2 meter from sea level to 6000 feet can be amusing to watch on the PSI graph.

The graph shows a psi of about 14.7 up until it gets on the plane (in cargo). Then it drops to below 11.5. It bounces around a bit, but when we arrive it settles down to around 11.6.

@jef It always interesting when website protection services lie about why they've blocked you. Do they lie to their customers too? The reason was none of those. They simply don't allow access from Mexico. (Had to turn on the VPN)

# Euforia

En los oscuros días antes,
‌ ‌ quería estar conforme.
Alegría era lejana,
‌ ‌ tan fuera de mi alcance.

En aquellos días brumosos,
‌ ‌ las ansias aumentaban.
No tenía la paz del alma,
‌ ‌ las preguntas me llenaban.

Hasta que me troné como un huevo.

En los luminosos días tras,
‌ ‌ el júbilo me encuentra.
El gozo quita las ansias,
‌ ‌ colma mi alma con la luz.

En los más claros días después,
‌ ‌ hay amigxs del corazón.
Ya no busco satisfacción,
‌ ‌ mi vida es euforia.

There seem to be some font rendering issues, but so far so good. I'm very curious if the “Tell me what I can cook given what I have" algorithm still works.

Page of a cookbook with text about its origins, dedication, and a decorative border with pixel art icons at the top.

The heart of these recipes come from a single source; that being a cookbook compiled by Beatrice Greene Rowe for her niece Priscilla Salisbury Hinckley in 1960, shortly after she had married. A few additional recipes were garnered from church supper cookbooks, family scrapbooks and other similar sources.
Insotar as possible the following pages duplicate the introduction to the original cookbook that she compiled. we hope they add to your enjoyment of this cookbook.
I would like to dedicate this cookbook to my Great Aunt Bea, who continues to collect recipes in Rhode Island and whose dining room I still look forward to with unparalleled anticipation.

The problem with training AI off of things written by people on the Internet, is there far too many people with ADHD writing on the Internet. :)

Exchange between myself and Kagi Translate.

Me: Yo no creo que José coma taquitos. [report all grammatical errors, don't
show non-errors]

Kagi: Error: The use of the indicative "coma" after "no creo que" is incorrect; it should be the subjunctive "coma". Oh wait, "coma" is the subjunctive form of "comer". There are no grammatical errors in the source text.

I don't think José eats taquitos.

I think this is probably the least helpful Siri response I have ever gotten.

Except of course it turned "question mark" into a literal "?". And then helpfully told me that "?" In English is translated to "?" In Spanish.

And my apologies to anyone who is visually impaired and reading this description. Because I would imagine it's going to be just as confusing as Siri's response was to me.

Panel 1:
Dee is putting on her bra while partner and dog sit on bed.
Dee: "Gotta run to the store and pick up some groceries. I’m just gonna throw on my tactical boobs and be right back."

Panel 2:
Dee's partner: "Tactical boobs?"
Dee (handing her a silicon blob): "Yeah. The older breast forms that aren’t quite as fancy… or voluminous as the ones I usually wear."

Panel 3:
Dee's partner (holding it up to her eyes to look through it): "Ahh, also these are super easy to just wing at somebody’s head if the urge strikes you. Like a squishy batarang."
Dee: "Yeah, no. C’mon, hand it over so I can…"

Panel 5: Sploot! Dee gets hit in the face with the silicon boob."

Panel 6: The boob is still stuck to the middle of her face.
Dee: "Really?"
