Man, I don't normally like dunking on medical professionals, but the PA I just saw for a sinus infection that's lasted over a month was so fucking condescending. Please don't talk to me like I'm a total idiot when I'm describing my symptoms.

Had a dream a few nights ago about getting a spinning wheel and being concerned I was spinning too quickly, since I was able to spin enough for a dk or worsted weight skein in barely any time at all

I like dogs quite a bit, but it pisses me off how some people act like it's nbd if their dogs harm other animals and people

ooh I just saw a turkish delight post and it reminded me I wanted to do a poll

bonus question, if you DID already know what turkish delight was, at the point when the witch tells him he can have anything he wants to eat and he asks for turkish delight, did you go "EDMUND"

just found out some people are anti-masking because they think masks are "covered in germs," as if their handbags, wallets, and phones aren't even more likely to be touching dirty surfaces in public

There’s certain hobbies and interests that aren’t inherently conservative or regressive but do attract a lot of people who are those things or worse and when you’re a progressive person involved in those hobbies hearing that someone else is interested in your hobby usually has to involve some “But are you normal about it?” conversations before you get too excited

the assholes of the current admin removed the incredible, thorough, scholarly research study that was sponsored by the NPS about LGBTQ+ life in America and American LGBTQ+ history from the NPS website. Suspecting that they would, in fact do this, I downloaded a copy of it, which you can now find (and download) here.

Fuck them for deleting this important piece of scholarly research and writing about LGBTQ+ history in America. We're here and we're queer (as in fuck you). We have ALWAYS been here and no matter what they do, they can't change that.

Got a rare dopamine boost scrolling bluesky and seeing:

1) US politicians in deep red districts being confronted by their increasingly angry constituents.

2) Seeing the size and number of protests happening at tesla dealerships (scroll TeslaTakedown or check out Alex Winter’s feed)

3) Vermont showing up to scream at vance and ruin his ski holiday

I am aggressively fine with other countries treating Trump and his administration with absolute derision and contempt. Do it more. Do it harder. Go all in. Acting like this can work somehow is not working for any of us. Let's end the pretense.

It drives me nuts when people try to claim that all neurodevelopmental and learning disabilities are the same as intellectual disabilities. (There can be some overlap, such as with some people with autism and very high support needs, but they're not exactly the same!)
