Gorgeous! 😍

Going to be 4C tomorrow morning, though, and I think there's an 8 or 9C in the 2 week forecast.
(Not that I'm desperate for spring or anything 😁)

Oh no! Keeping you guys on my thoughts! Hope they fix him up quickly.

Welp. Seems like it's a good day to highlight trans books. I'll do this off and on all day, no idea how long the thread will eventually be. And if you need any trans book recommendations, post in here and I'll point you toward people who might know if I don't since I mostly do romantasy.

Best of luck to you and your fiance. I'm finally on meds that seem to work (most of the time. I still get bad days) But there's still a lot of things I can't do.

I experience a lot of those same symptoms with my fibromyalgia. Hope they're able to figure out what it is and offer some relief!

Good morning.

Source: catmat on Tumblr Can we just take a second to acknowledge how absolutely traumatizing and terrifying it is to lose your health? Feeling yourself decline, not knowing if you'll get worse, but knowing the permanency of your new reality, is scary. Often we don't hear about the fear that comes along with health decline. We are praised for being strong and for enduring so much. We try to keep going despite the terrifying feelings of knowing there is no going back from this. There's a lot of trauma we face, a lot of grieving, and a lot of repressed fears. So I'm just here to say that these feelings are valid and you're not alone.

I've learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this: [image of a graph with two points] good men / crazed evil men but it's actually closer to this: [image of a graph that is a spectrum with the following points] heroic men who will intervene well-meaning men who underestimate the issue men who think predation is an unfortunate fact of life men who think certain women deserve it( but aren't active predators ) men who passively enjoy/consume/encourage predation textbook predators we're all aware of monsters so cruel we can't even fathom them

I know I'm like the only person in the world who thinks this, but... Mangoes.

To me, they just taste like someone rolled a nectarine in dirt.

This, but they're all Clue (1985)

So why argue that an LLM might actually be more energy efficient than a human at a particular job? The only way that energy efficiency actually results in any savings is if you start eliminating humans. Not eliminating human JOBS. Eliminating HUMANS.

@PanickedFoodie I'd love to see a research study detailing the rates of depression and anxiety *caused by* interactions with medical professionals and the healthcare system

Oh man, I'm so sorry. Our dog got skunked once and it was the worst. The smell was so bad I thought I'd hurt.

Best thing we found was a combo of peroxide, dish soap, & baking powder - helped with our hands as well as dog (but beware, it can bleach dogs' fur)

I just read this today on my lunch break and whooooo is it fab! Get this creepy goodness into your eyeballs stat!

I'm so glad you posted this. I've been feeling guilty for accepting for my kid's appt. 1st time hubs said yes for us,
2nd time, when she saw me hesitate, dr emphasized how much time it saves her so she can see more patients. Felt like I couldn't say no

A humidifier on the sink in front of a bathroom mirror. The combination of small "on" and "full" lights above a wide curved vent make a pleasant smiling face and on the back of the humidifier, which can be seen in the mirror, another wide curved air vent and the two screws holding it together above it make a horrified face.
