Such an amazing video, very well done, a great watch even if you're not involved in music at all

Every rich person that sees this should find a Trans person on. This website and send them a thousand dollars because you can and we all need it.

Saw the new John Lennon and Yoko Ono documentary today, very appropriate regarding the current state of the world

A news company probably paid him to shut it down

It's all just one big world, to both our great joy and great despair 😭

Many governments are taking notes about what they'll be able to get away with

The FDA building having contaminated water and the staff being lied to and ordered to drink it by Republican management is a perfect microcosm of America

Someone clever once said that voting is like getting on a bus rather than ordering a taxi. You choose the bus that gets you the nearest to your destination. There are no taxis to get you exactly where you'd like to be.
Hope that makes sense.

Sometimes it's you
Sometimes it's someone else
Sometimes it's a huge mechanism completely outside your control

Knowing which is which at the right time is a superpower

Tastiest money laundering we've ever had outside of Italian restaurants in the retirement sweet spot between NYC and Chicago

We once watched someone spill a bottle of it on themselves after they put it in DMSO

Personal favourite name for this terrifying thing which can simultaneously cause retrograde and anterograde amnesia is "The Downfall of The Soviet Union"

Tortoiseshell cat in a harness laying on a purple sweatshirt in the passenger seat of a car

Finally got her to eat some food and you'd never know she'd just been pacing on the dash from the way she's purring now

Just hanging out in the car with an anxious cat because today is fire alarm testing day at home

We should have known we were trans when we started looking forward to soup

We've been spending a lot more time lately working on home stuff and poking at the synthesizer, pretty sure we're enjoying there being less social media time in our days

Brb getting a truckload of rats

Okay but it literally makes us throw up and people cooking with it makes our airway close

any time you find yourself screaming at someone who is trying to comfort a crying baby, it’s time to re-evaluate some stuff

Didn't really look at the phone all day, spent most of it sitting on the couch with a modular synth in our lap instead 🤷🏻‍♀️

We used to do this with LiveJournal users, we still do it sometimes when we're trying to decide if we want to follow accounts (especially if we're trying to decide if we want to follow *back*)

Unhinged idea: let everyone who receives a notification about a post vote on moderation actions regarding it

Want to evict an account from a service provider? Everyone they've replied to gets to vote about it

all posts are prayers

Picked up a new bit of hardware for the squirmy musical voltages box today, getting some enjoyable squirminess out of it

Okay, so our current understanding of Bluesky is that it's a Twitter replacement the same way the public internet is a replacement for telephone switchboards operated by hand using patch cables, except the underlying protocol will create a giant collection of such switchboards operated by algorithms

It's the kind of thing we immediately forget just so we can be reminded every time

Better frameworks wouldn't require therapists to take on 6+ years worth of student loan debts with no expectation of ever being able to repay it without turning to cash clients, have more community provided solutions both for emergencies and keeping things from getting as bad for anyone, etc

If we wanted to start seeing a new therapist it we could probably do it within a week, if we had a crisis we'd likely end up at the emergency department and probably get shuffled off to a facility where we'd be treated horribly until our insurance stopped paying them

A big issue is a general lack of providers who can handle crisis situations, it's a lot more difficult but often pays less, so therapists burn out doing it and "graduate" to only handling ongoing clients or become specialists

Some therapists also don't accept insurance so if you pay there's them 🙃

In places that are even the tiniest bit semi-responsible therapy gets paid for out of tax dollars (in the better US states both state and federal funding) unless you make or already have enough money 🤷🏻‍♀️
