I came out to my Dad. He’s on board, and supportive.

I’m finally free to be me.

Yes please. I’ll have some of that. And then some more, and more, and then.. well, I couldn’t possibly, but if you insist…

As a person of trans experience, I can kinda measure how far I’ve come along by the number of white dudes - and it’s almost always white dudes - who have dismissed my expertise in anything out of hand, even when I’m not putting much if any effort in presenting.

And not just in red states, either. After the Virginia Mason was purchased by the Franciscans, so many of the trans-affirming folks I had seen had moved elsewhere due to the Franciscan’s policies.

A job offering by Giant Freaking Robot to hire a freelance writer who hates Starfleet Academy to write hate articles about the show

Don't ever take this site or anything it publishes seriously. It is actively looking to hire people who hate Starfleet Academy to write about it.

As of 8 pm on 10.3.2026, this is live on LinkedIn.

Ask me again why I think the anti-SFA sentiment is manufactured.

There’s not really a lot to it. My wife has a quart or so of various berries and a small bundle of peppers every day in her lunch, and the rest end up as breakfast and snacks for me and our kiddo. Wash everything in baking soda water, rinse, dry, put in containers with a paper towel at the bottom!

Mini peppers, bay cucumbers, grapes, blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries drying on paper towels after having been washed and rinsed in preparation to be used in lunches this week. About 10 pounds of fruit and veggies have been prepared.

Fruit and veggies for the week are serious business in this house.

When I prayed for years to not wake up in the morning because I was so obviously evil and wrong and it never happened. Then again, even if I had the words to tell my family I was trans back then, I would have been kicked out at best. Knew my family was unsafe to talk about those things at age 3 😔
