okay, woozy again. before i pass back out:

Bones says i still can't type for two more weeks
...so nobody tell him, ok?

i missed you guys too much

(case is fine. most of the components are fine. i don't know which part melted but i can tell you that it stank REAL bad. the air here is awful)

teaser until then: is this an example of a double-cover of rotations? i do not think so. Pythagoras twice probably doesn't count, but let's /not/ watch it

I DID IT I DID IT I DID IT.

i think i found signal that'll last. there's no wifi of course. mobile data remains scarce as heck. bluetooth is still a non-starter. and my air filter melted, so i can't breathe again. but i think i'm (finally) back online. & 8 hours from now i can say (much, haha) more

if I did not want the world to make a big deal out of me pardoning my son I would simply pardon hundreds if not thousands of other people

well, i'm pregnant now

Like I'm impressed how Gilded Age 2 doesn't even get the slight mitigating factors of "Awful shithead builds a library/university/museum/hospital" it's just "Awful shithead wants to put artists out of work so he can drain Lake Michigan to make a "Le Epic" image of Iron-Man with huge tits."

As an anecdotal observation, my posts here pick up rather more bots/trolls/chuds than my posts on Threads, even though I post much more overt political content over there than here. It's a telling indication of which site the people directing the bots/trolls/chuds are worried about more.

i'd never thought to try that!
i walk 50 km/week for nearly this last year so there's whole mountain ridges of calluses i could trim this way. sanding with rocks aren't really precise enough

what are your favorite styles? i'm mostly into indie folk, various metals, and dance songs. silly mornings like this one i suppose www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjGm... might fit?

at one point i knew tmbg's version was a cover but i'd entirely forgotten that fact.

while i often love covers, my favorite one of all time is www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRdr... if you're into indie folk it may be your style too

would i like wine? yes please- what kind? oh. uh. (checks messy notes written on arm) i’ll do the uh. the *squints* cabinet sovereign.

set of three "cuticle trimmers"

i know both of those tools! been using the following but possibly using them wrong so far. bit of a newbie

no no this is pretty darn fun!

i would do anything for science except that. no thanks okay bye

this can probably be done!
learning howto, slowly, lolsob

If you believe trans people deserve safety, stand up for trans people with your whole voice and your whole heart.

But if you'd rather make excuses for why our loss of safety is inevitable and our own fault, just get lost. We have nothing for you here.

In reality, no one offered a deal of safety for trans people of they gave up on participating in sports. Loss of participation in sports is just one early step towards a loss of safety.

We never got the chance to trade anything for safety bc taking away our safety was always the point.
