Home again home again jiggety-jig

Holy shit was that a boozy little drink.

Current status: trying to recycle the leftover bourbon butter from the pumpkin pie crust into buttered rum.

We should start referring to BBC reporters as “biological illiterates who identify as journalists”.

See, these words also apply to you, so it’s a good match. 😘😘😘

You are much more than mildly cute 😘 😘 😘

This just blew my mind a bit

Ten years. Don’t be afraid of the answers to the questions that haunt you.

I first read about this case 16 years ago. It’s a hell of a thing to finally see the guy released.

Hayne and West, the bite mark “experts” who put Duncan and many other innocents in prison, have a lot to answer for.

Jadzia Dax is so good because almost every writer other than Rick Berman knows she’s a transgender bisexual and keeps making jokes about it

Reminder that lesbians have a more positive view of trans people than trans people do

Look, Steve, I don’t hide the pink cat-ear headset in my home office during LSG meetings, either. Being a stereotype is fun.

Becca Royal-Gordon, @beccadax@soincredibly.gay Possibly the only poly trans lesbian compiler engineer who’s never worked on Rust.Swift Language Steering Group and Apple Swift team. Basic Balmung miqo’te. …

Bottom line: By any objective measure, medical transition is not dangerous—it’s one of the safest, most effective procedures in all of medicine. The real reason there’s so much opposition is that it just freaks out a lot of cis people and they scramble for some way to rationalize their revulsion.

•Less than 1% of patients regret medical transition. That’s an *absurdly* low regret rate—compare to (cis) breast augmentation at 5-9%, knee replacement at 6-30%, bariatric surgery at 19%, having children at 6%, getting a tattoo at 16%.

•The most recent research suggests that fertility often returns after stopping HRT for several months. Patients are nonetheless repeatedly warned about the impact and counseled to consider cryopreservation. I don’t know White’s story, but I’m guessing she now regrets discounting those warnings.

The truth about HRT is:

•HRT gives you exactly the same clotting and cancer risks as a cis person of the gender you’re transitioning to.

•Difficult-to-reverse physical effects don’t start for months; a cis person who takes HRT will feel bad mental health effects long before that and can just stop.

“Hamburger menu” is exactly as stupid a name as the design deserves.

imagine having to hear shit like "study confirms giving diabetic children insulin reduces their death rates by 100%" as if that hasn't been known for like a hunred years. that's what being trans is like

If you aren't familiar with autism groups, this like the Abundance Democrats and the PSL put out a joint statement

wake up babe, new handle just dropped

Why isn’t there a .factory? There are so many things that it’s funny to imagine coming out of a factory.

Bizarre that there’s a .men but no .women or similar.

A person stands at a fork on the road. At the end of the left fork, a shining castle bathed in sunlight, labeled “The perfectly good domain name I already own”. At the right fork, a foreboding manor house in a lightning storm, labeled “Silly domain hacks”.

Having second thoughts about my social networking handles.

my problem with gyoza is that they normally come in an order of about 6, but what I really need is 100 of them

We can! But we won’t. 😘😘😘

DNS was a mistake, let’s go back to giant /etc/hosts files

btw, I’m currently Invalid Handle-ing on this here website because I’m fucking around with my DNS to bring up a Fediverse instance. Glad I waited until I was on vacation to deal with this.

Easy ask. Turkey is the most overrated Thanksgiving food; I won’t miss it.
