@keyofw.bsky.social Hi! In www.keyofw.com/baba-is-blog... and www.keyofw.com/baba-is-blog... , it looks like ABC 4 got an update and is now a different level titled Wall. If you're still updating these, you could change the description for Meta 14 so it doesn't say it's a repeat.

Gender-affirming care saves lives, respects the rights of patients, and reflects that healthcare is supposed to be between providers and patients, not between providers and the Trump Administration. (1/3)

Loved this bit from Against the Grain: A Carpentry Manual for Women by Dale McCormick so much that I typed it up and pinned it over my desk (h/t Michelle Millar Fisher on insta www.instagram.com/p/DM2S05bOKk...)
The minute I start swearing at the work I'm doing I know I've lost it. I just walk away and come back when I'm calmer. You can't think when you're furious and thinking and remembering are what is needed to solve the problem you're having. Patience and learning how to fix your mistakes are what it takes to be a good carpenter.

DON'T FIGHT YOUR WORK

If you find a job is frustratingly difficult and that you are fighting your work, then something is materially wrong. Do not berate yourself by saying such things as "I'm stupid, I'm weak" or "I can't do this." Those are thoughts that do not help solve the problem. The problem is not within you; it is somewhere in the work. Remain calm and begin analyzing the material aspects of the situation. Now evaluate and inspect the job again:

1. Is your body positioned to give the most leverage and strength? Reposition yourself and try again.
2. Are you using the right tool? Do you need another?
3. Is a screw or nail holding and you failed to notice?
4. Are you turning the nut in the right direction?
5. Are you using the right method?-- try another.

Do not get frustrated at yourself; look to your
method.

Hot thesis: it is not in fact showing compassion to the people who hate you to capitulate to them; it is showing them contempt. You cannot handle the version of me who actually exists, so no problem, I will give you less. This isn't kindness

Sorry to quote-post, feel free to tell me to kick rocks: I'm a volunteer care coordinator for supportive parents of trans youth. Some H&H locations, among other practices, are absorbing that care. Many don't want to attract fed attention, have asked to not be named publicly.

Last night: wife, kids & I went down the hall to our neighbor's apt and watched Emperor's New Groove with her This morning: I finished Simplicity by @mattielubchansky.com Striking similarity!

Lucius is boggling at a VR-overlaid image of The Museum of the Former State of New York at New Shalem. It's a big ominous cube, at the current site of the Simplicity commune

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

James Merrill | Christmas Tree. (The poem is typeset in the shape of a Christmas tree.)

*
To be
Brought down at last
From the cold sighing mountain
Where I and the others
Had been fed, looked after, kept still,
Meant, I knew—of course I knew—
That it would be only a matter of weeks,
That there was nothing more to do.
Warmly they took me in, made much of me,
The point from the start was to keep my spirits up.
I could assent to that. For honestly,
It did help to be wound in jewels, to send
Their colors flashing forth from vents in the deep
Fragrant sables that cloaked me head to foot.
Over me then they wove a spell of shining—
Purple and silver chains, eavesdropping tinsel,
Amulets, milagros: software of silver,
A heart, a little girl, a Model T,
Two staring eyes. Then angles, trumpets, BUD and BEA
(The children’s names) in clownlike capitals,
Somewhere a music box whose tiny song
Played and replayed I ended before long
By loving. And in shadow behind me, a primitive IV
To keep the show going. Yes, yes, what lay ahead
Was clear: the stripping, the cold street, my chemicals
Plowed back into the Earth for lives to come—
No doubt a blessing, a harvest, but one that doesn’t bear,
Now or ever, dwelling upon. To have grown so thin.
Needles and bone. The little boy’s hands meeting
About my spine. The mother’s voice: Holding up wonderfully!
No dread. No bitterness. The end beginning. Today’s
Dusk room aglow
For the last time
With candlelight.
Faces love-lit
Gifts underfoot.
Still to be so poised, so
Receptive. Still to recall, praise.
