Em's Shout into the wind

If guilt/shame/othering was persuasive I'd still be Catholic.

I believe in education in advocacy which starts with meeting people in uncomfortable places in their and our lives and trying to help them take the next steps together.

#google. We can find anything for you. We can use #gemini to summarize it for you...
Me... Can you help me find the apps on my phone if I misspell it when I'm typing it. Or if it's listed as ks instead of king Soopers... Etc etc
Google... No

Could you imagine what we could do with 1.2 billion dollars to fix bathrooms and changing rooms.

Rather than fund TERF rights we could just correct the technical and safety issues.

Maybe private changing rooms? Private stalls rather than mass bathrooms.

1.2 billion could do a lot of good.

Many of us who have been under the radar have been allowed to be diagnosed now that we are "safer".

We have been able to find each other in the world. We have been allowed to procreate.

What "causes" autism. ME. The problem is ME. My Dad also had something to do with it.

“There’s got to be something artificial out there that’s doing this,” Trump responded to Kennedy. “You stop taking something, you stop eating something. Or maybe it’s a shot. But something’s causing it.” What is "causing" it? We aren't being institutionalized. Many of us who have been under the radar have been allowed to be diagnosed now that we are "safer".

I'm a spouse of nearly 20 years (married to a librarian, how cool is that!)
I'm a parent
I enjoy hiking and photography
I'm a huge huge space nerd. (Currently have code executing 1.5 million miles away)

Also love snow and snow flakes. Our wedding was snow themed. It's been a thing for 20+ years

Happy trans day of visibility.

There is so much more to me than a label and few things mean more to me than those who share that label.

This one tip could save your life!

See why wearing a seatbelt dramatically increases your chances of living.

Walz: "Have you ever had somebody's contact that shows their name ... and then you have somebody else's number there? So, of course, I didn't see this loser in the group. It looked like someone else. Now, whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean is something we're trying to figure out." Chiti: "Ok, but that's worse. You do see how that's worse right?"

Go fast and break things is a great way to innovate within a company... Where you try new things out and aren't afraid of failure... as long as the customer doesn't experience the failure with you.

It is a terrible way to approach brain surgery and it is a terrible way to approach government reform

Lenny from the Simpsons taking down a 0 and putting up a 0 on a sign that reads "DAYS WITHOUT" It adds "Days without the trump administration using trans people as political capital.

People inside HR who have for years helped us build something better and safer are getting fired for just doing their jobs.

I feel kinda shitty whining about my own DEI problems when people are being uprooted from their lives because we think there is something special about our lines on the map.

Our trans service members who fight for our country are being kicked out.

Indiginous people are being detained.

I’m right here if anyone wants to try to dispute the reality of this with me. I ain’t no centrist. We can chat about it.

Are you into breath play?
Honey, I live in Colorado with severe allergies, everything is breath play.

I've only breathed through my nose unimpeded a few times after anesthesia... And it was... Heaven.

ADHD cleaning shall now be known as "Roomba cleaning". I wander around the house sort of cleaning random things until I get stuck or my battery runs out. At the end things are a little cleaner but absolutely not clean.

Time to bring this one over to Blue sky!

I'm pretty sure they want to just get rid of those links rather than making them better...

Sigh.....

Trump says he wants rename the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America' Can Trump change the name of the Gulf of Mexico?

I'm so tired of having to learn things because of him. Researching Greenland, Denmark, gulf of Mexico and Panama . Y'all this is tiring.

Did not pass.

Two years earlier, comedian Stephen Colbert had joked on his show that, following the massive Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, it should be renamed “Gulf of America” because, "We broke it, we bought it.”

Has renaming the Gulf of Mexico come up before?
Yes. In 2012, a member of the Mississippi Legislature proposed a bill to rename portions of the gulf that touch that state's beaches “Gulf of America,” a move the bill author later referred to as a “joke.” That bill, which was referred to a committee

Here me out... Trump just wanted to get rid of Jr by sending him to Greenland

Most likely didn't know they had an airport and he could fly back

Maybe Trump Sr can go checkout Antarctica. We will just shut off the phones and turn off the lights and pretend we aren't home when he tries to come back

I have a very variable sense of pain. Much like the rest of my senses. I can ignore it or I feel it intensely.

This is how I went through the school day with a broken wrist. Went bowling with a broken wrist.

When I got home I was in agony because all I was doing was watching TV

Can't wait for jury selection.

Entire room gets up and leaves except one person.

"Please leave if you work for an insurance company"...

Last person leaves.
