Had a track workout today, and I had to keep swinging out to lane 3 to get around this man who was walking on the line between lane 1 and 2. And after I passed him a couple times he yelled at me. For not giving him 3 full lanes to himself on the inside of the track.
Mom used they/them pronouns for me while nagging me to go to the gynecologist. Growth.
Wish me luck in explaining to my new neighbor that their ring camera records the door to my apartment and why I don't like that.

Every time I go to the grocery store and there's Gotham Greens right there on the shelf, available for purchase, not completely cleared out, I'm surprised. Like, do we not all have the same internet?

Further interesting scenario is human recollection / notes (taken by habit by a person) conflict with AI summary

Do we ever see Odysseus wear the Athena pin? He told Penelope he would, but I think he only ever held it in his hand.
I know it's not rational, but kilometers make me kind of angry. 6 min km pace? Fuck off. K repeats? It's mile repeats, bitch.
I would like to also place some responsibility on Meta and Twitter and Google, our propaganda machines. A lot of otherwise rational people have been convinced Fauci is the enemy because social media algorithms repeated that story to the people they knew would be the most susceptible.
Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH@geauxgabrielle.blacksky.app · 5d agoMy unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career. Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not Dr. Fauci’s.
I went to the dentist today even though I am really scared of dentists. I would like a sticker and a piece of candy, for bravery. Also, no cavities!

I think trans people rule and Elliot Page was my favorite part of The Odyssey.
It really irritates me that a fandom that has been open and welcoming to women of color and queer women has become a target for fascist activists. From political lobbying to staging harassment campaigns disguised as protests to even bankrolling a player riding the bench.

My Spanish lessons have gotten to the topic of building Ikea furniture and calling customer service. Finally, my fluency will be at a point where I can have a relationship-ending fight with a significant other while we build a dresser.

"All this trans stuff is annoying I wish we could just focus on basketball" yeah imagine how fucking annoying it is for trans people
Some shitty bigots are allowed to enjoy a basketball game and if the owner says something to them about how shitty and bigoted they are, she gets suspended? Is that how that works?
