Made my sleep specialist laugh when I said "the biggest difference on this medication is if I'm having a nightmare, it's a dream about my insect phobia. I prefer dreaming a spider touched me instead of things that are emotionally upsetting"

I did not fully comprehend that legal transition was possible in the US until I was 22, when I met a trans person at my hippy school. It was incredibly damaging to my mental health that I thought it was impossible as a teenager. I wanted it when I could not articulate it.

I realized TODAY that Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds are different people. I'm not really sure why my brain collapsed them? Only one of them annoys the shit out of me with his mobile phone empire ads.

I've posted about this before but I've seen accounts like this with liberal or left signifiers in their bio along with recurring trends (retired [profession], blue dot in a red state, no DMs, emojis) appear on trending topics often with inflammatory or ghoulish comments, sometimes neutral inane ones

It’s Friday (good!) and I’m $0/$950 for Oct. rent (not so good). Could someone help me nudge this forward? I’m on Day 2 of an increasingly brutal migraine and could use a win; small amounts add up! Cashapp/Venmo: Elsthere

This from the website that sees nothing wrong with putting me in anti-queer and anti-trans lists?? Is "the world's most annoying [protected class]" not shaming?

The constant tension between wanting to knit something to wear on my arms that's in the scarf-wrap-sleeves-bolero universe, which is probably better knitter flat, and my genuine "I'd rather eat grass" emotional reaction to the idea of knitting a giant rectangle and seaming it. 🧶

I have a sort of gay inverse of fed thoughts, which is the urge to tell every person I see breaking a law to not get caught doing that, whether they are spitting on the sidewalk (finable offense) or bragging about tax fraud (DON'T TELL PEOPLE JESUS CHRIST)

This made me so angry I started crying. As maddening as healthcare has been as a light skinned person, as many stupid class and gender deceptions I've had to do to get healthcare, as many appointments as I've gone to as somebody's Big Brother... you don't even know what you aren't there to see.

That Guy In Your MFA comes to mind as an extremely common Jeffism manifestation. We did in fact have that guy in my MFA. His name wasn't Jeff, though. But it's not super funny to talk about the racism that he brought out in all the white people because all his projects were cultural appropriation.

The internet did not lie. Out of the Closet (a thrift store) had multiple makeup pouches that are perfect for sock knitting projects for $3 instead of the $25+ I would have spent otherwise buying stuff FOR knitters.

Honestly this makes a lot of sense, this is already the working metaphoric model a lot of people use to talk about how bodies function separately from our conscious thoughts.

Breaking news. I was at the powwow where they announced the legislation, along with a big gathering of community.

For generations, the Lipan Apache in Texas have fought for our rights and inherent sovereignty as Indigenous people.

Last week, a bill to federally recognize the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas was introduced in the House. This marks an important milestone in our journey.

I was super tired when I wrote this post about the official position of the Catholic church on trans people being an existential threat to humanity, and used ex cathedra wrong. The origin of this teaching is a papal bull by Francis. I have chosen to delete my post rather than try to amend it.

This is a good reminder that the Catholic church in the US has imposed a trans health care ban so severe that no elected Republican has been willing to even suggest making a similar law. The Pope has acquiesced to this ban.

Ok, friends, here we are. Another week or so, less than 20 spots to go, and a race between Bluesky and Mastodon to find queer hearts and mailboxes that need a typewritten poem in December. Then we can get back to our regularly scheduled skeletons.

Man I thought I had developed a thick skin to weird anti-Asian racism being tossed at me like a hand grenade from strangers, but white people making weird jokes about Asian cultural inferiority has left me in an incredibly bad, yucky mood, actually.

Somehow every antiques warehouse owned by a chatty white guy trying to tell extremely dated jokes to strangers has a secret Racism section of the store you can't see till you're deep inside. Sometimes it's offensive chinoiserie or Catholic conspiracy theory shit. And today it was blackface figures 😖

The business model of ALL insurance is not having to provide care even when they should. That is how insurance makes money, by more people buying insurance than successfully using it. They're always trying to reject as many claims as possible. They would auto reject 100% of claims if they could.
