pretty much every time someone talks about AI agents going to work on the internet the first thing I think about is the family of racoons that moved into the attic of an old house for 20+ years, and how the attic was almost entirely occupied by layers of their ancient shit

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

Anyway if you’re in Texas one thing you can meaningfully do is contact James Talarico’s campaign and tell them that going on Fox News to kick trans children is a) morally absolutely fucking unacceptable, and b) politically unnecessary and a public signal of pretty serious weakness

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

Part of the problem of always feeling like I'm up against a super tight deadline is I don't get a chance to learn the underlying technology, so it feels like I'm patching something rather than fixing it properly.

"I'm not looking to sell you something," he says, then proceeds to try to sell me something. Sir, if the first words out of your mouth are a lie, we're pretty much done. And if I have to ask you four times what I can do for you, I can assure you I've shut down by the time you get to the point.

4-panel meme from Star Wars with Anakin and Padme talking in a field.

Panel 1: Anakin says, "A trans woman was harassed when I made a joke."

Panel 2: Padme smiles and asks happily, "How did it go when you apologized?"

Panel 3: Anakin stares without speaking, menacingly.

Panel 4: Normally Padme stops smiling and repeats her question nervously when Anakin doesn't answer. This time, her photo has been replaced with a screenshot of Ken Jennings' Bluesky profile page. It says "User Blocking You". This refers to Ken Jennings blocking all the trans people who try to get him to apologize to Gwen Pepperoni and make amends for the harm he caused.

I've been out of jump-rope circles since probably the 1980s. Do people still say, "Go Pitch! Go Patch! Go Pepper!" then speed up? Was that ever a thing?

I feel like reactions to this would range from "No way, that's stupid," to "Yeah, no kidding, stupid," but here goes: Salting chicken breasts and letting them sit for 24 hours before cooking is a GAME CHANGER. I don't know the chemistry of it, but it is the truth. #foodSky

squidfeets
the understanding that I would be immediately, irreversibly marked for a lifetime of misogyny and hostility chilled me out of pursuing transition for years, and I'm not the only woman I know who has said the same. we are well aware of what we're getting into and we know it's not something that can ever be undone. we've seen all our lives how poorly women (and especially trans woman) are treated. but we are women, so our choice is to accept the reality of womanhood or die. painting us as naively grasping at a surface-level idea of womanhood denies our interiority as people and our existence as women.

no feminism can truly fight misogyny while erasing us.

My problem with writing a first draft is that, as soon as I'm not actively writing it, if I read anything that has any kind of polish, my story starts to feel a little foolish. I know the point of a first draft, but it can be hard for me to push through, knowing all the things it isn't. #amwriting

In my youth I disdained resistance bands. I wasn't much of a weightlifter either, but I had a hard time equating rubber bands with getting strong. Those bands put me in my place today, I tell you what. My glutes are weak in a way I wasn't expecting, and resistance bands kicked my ass.

In the process of clearing two trees that fell in our yarrd. One fell across the driveway so that one took priority. The other fell sometime over the winter. Big sucker. I'm learning a lot about chainsaw maintenance and proper chainsaw technique and how much I hate using the chainsaw.
