Napping is one of my greatest day-off pleasures. Except when my bastard brain decides to stick me in a false awakening loop.

My favorite MTA employees are the ones who clearly love their jobs. This evening I got a conductor who told jokes and sang songs over the PA while we were getting held at every station along the line. 10/10, better commute than I was expecting.

The train to Osaka.

A portrait of Miss Major. Text reads : Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (October 25, 1946 – October 13, 2025) Legendary black trans activist, author, community organizer, Stonewall veteran and visionary. She dedicated her life to uplift the most marginalized within our communities. Her courage, strength and joy will keep inspiring us for generations.

Thank you, Miss Major, for showing us the way.

I have tasted freedom. I will not give up that which I have tasted.

October is LGBTQ+ history month.

Banned Books - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 Olivia and Gustopher are at the library. The Library is having a special event for books that have been banned in the past. Dora the librarian is stacking books with titles like "BOOK", "Boogers", "Tales", "Can you", "read this" and "Word". Olivia has a great interest in forbidden knowledge and has been browsing what's available. She's found a book called "Salt Box" and has an important question for the librarian. Olivia: Miss Librarian! Why was this book banned? Dora: Vulgar Language. Panel 2 Dora makes a shocked expression and holds her hands to her face. This is the only way she can express how depraved the book is. Dora: The word "butt" is used.... FIFTEEN TIMES! Panel 3 Dora looks down to the children to gather their reaction. Internally, Gustopher is wondering if Dora meant "but" with one "t" or "butt" with two. Olivia immediately assumes it's the latter. Behind them is a poster promoting banned books week. There is a cartoon book that's smiling and saying "I'm forbidden!" He's booky the banned book. He was specifically banned for being made using the darkest of magic. He's also kind of rude. Panel 4 Olivia is excited about the book. This leads Gustopher to assume that "butt" was indeed spelled with an extra "t". Olivia: Now I have to read it. Dora: Oh noooo... I'll help you check it out.

there is no reason, in my mind, where buying the physical version of anything shouldn't also entitle you to a digital copy

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Good riddance, you transphobic bastard. May your soul never know a moment’s peace for the harms you caused in this life.

I love having a little nap before being taken to bed for my main sleep, I like to call this my snores d’oeuvre leading up to this I may have a snooze-bouche or two

17 years in and I’m still struggling for N2. Speed isn’t the point! I’d rather take my time and really thoroughly absorb what I’m learning instead of cramming for the exam on an arbitrary timeline.

I learned kana in a small undergrad class. I’d say I was comfortable with hiragana after about a month of constant use. Katakana took longer (and there’s still a few I always have to double check, 17 years later) because I just didn’t use them as often!

The colour wheel challenge

me & the boys misunderstood the arcane nature of the sword & the stone, and using a toyota and some chains to pull it from the stone resulted in the Toyota becoming the new king of england

Today in the US's special brand of healthcare bullshit: I have separate prescription insurance for injectable medication, and my usual pharmacy doesn't accept it. Now I have to wait 3-7 days to access my new medication because there's no convenient pharmacy that takes this insurance. Fuck this shit.

And there’s nothing wrong with slow and steady either! I started studying my freshman year of undergrad. I’ve been at it for 17 years, and while I haven’t achieved fluency, I make progress inch by satisfying inch, and I regret nothing.
