Tired middle-aged woman, likes cats. Has strong opinions, may or may not share them. Transitioned in the long-ago years of the early 00s, not that it's any of your business.

Just outside of Vancouver BC, temperatures are expected to climb to 21300 degrees C, many times hotter than the surface of the sun. Due to high humidity it will feel like nearly 58 trillion degrees C - the laws of physics may no longer apply. We expect hotter tomorrow, returning to normal on Friday.

Huh, another local(ish) trans organization abruptly imploded due to toxic infighting. "Where have I seen this before?" I ask myself, thinking about 2017 & 2013 & 2009 & 2004 and...

The "fun" part is that this has the potential to dismantle one of the main archives of trans history in this province.

My car's stereo insists on playing albums by alphabetical song name and the resulting mood whiplash drives me up the wall.

Also geez loise is YT ever broken today. Unskippable 15s ads for M&Ms & McDonalds (neither of which I've had or cared about in years), then ten seconds of the video I'm trying to watch, then THOSE EXACT SAME ADS, then another ten seconds, then THE SAME ADS AGAIN. I just gave up and closed the tab.

Got a video ad for M&Ms where 3 guys gleefully accept random candy (the M&Ms) from a sketchy dude they met at a gas station.

Holy hell my skin crawled instantly. Did they run this past literally ANY woman at the ad agency? "Yay free candy!" (Wakes up in the desert w/ a kidney missing if I'm lucky.)

That feeling when you try running for the first time in well over a decade and the first time since HRT: "ohhh geez - gonna need a better bra than this. Possibly several on top of each other".

The weather has a lot to do with it for me. I can walk at an average 2ยฝ mph pretty much indefinitely so long as the weather is overcast and the temperature is between 45F and 65F. As soon as it hits 80F and/or the sun comes out, or I have to book it 3 mph or faster, my endurance drops quickly.

Oh FFS...

Run on my computer unobtrusively & allow me to use my software to do my work. Keep intruders out of my system. And THAT'S IT. If I want you to do anything more than that I WILL ASK YOU. And I am not asking you.

Bad enough you're forcing me to replace my PC in the next year for no reason.

I hadn't thought about it - I swear I saw some of them at the grocery checkout a few years ago but I couldn't tell you how many years... and nothing since. They're like payphones or cars with manual transmissions - ubiquitous until they silently disappear.

Ahh, the whole "when you have sex with someone, you're having sex with everyone else they've ever slept with, and will instantly get all kinds of horrible STDs that will rot your genitalia, and also since not all birth control is 100% effective, all birth control is 100% ineffective" spiel. >:(

I feel this. My body has the need to rotate on its long axis all night like a rotisserie chicken; if it's prevented from doing so (ie a very soft mattress) I don't get a wink of sleep.
