oh, plok radok? last i heard, distims the doshes.

do you ever just think about matt gourley's h.r. giger and his paralyzing fear of women

when he sleeps our dog has very vivid dreams that result in him woofing quietly and making short jerky motions like he's running and when we see it we say he's twitch streaming

I’m still about $800 short on rent this month, and I’m really afraid of getting evicted before I have colostomy surgery on the 17th. Venmo is faster (rent is due on the 5th), but either is so helpful. Venmo: venmo.com/u/Brianna-Tr... GFM: gofund.me/f071c1d0f

anyway, that's enough from the organized transphobia machine for today

to be clear this is not intended as a QT dunk, just further clarification: it's because they agree with republicans that trans kids should be kept out of sports

Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks

the fact that allred seemingly got a fair amount of blowback and talarico hasn't despite saying basically a softer version of the same bullshit about trans kids in sports is a bad, bad, bad sign

And then he said, "I mean... there are difficult issues. Trying to figure out trans athletes in sports. That's an issue where we could actually come to a policy solution." Yet again, we're nothing but "difficult issues". Yet again, the Democrats' not-so-final solution is kinder gentler segregation.

Maddow asked #JamesTalarico about attacks on #trans people and those who think that to win, Dems must "moderate" on trans rights. Talarico answered, "I don't believe we win by selling people out." #Texas

someday, the internet will collectively move past the impulse to post a debbie downer reply to prove that one is the most conscientious, but not this day

spent most of yesterday to, in, and from the vet hospital* and just spent 2.5 hours defrosting our freezer so no one can claim i'm not living the dream *he's much better now thank goodness, competent doctors rock

...yes. yep. i'm good with this.

Once again I am compelled to remind everyone that criticism is a discipline with its own set of discrete skills and that people who do other kinds of writing are no more likely to be good at their first attempt than a guitar player who decides he’s good at the piano for some reason

i’m still running an i7-8700K and release 2080 and sometimes I think idly about upgrades but I don’t really know why I would need to? what games with bonkers graphics am I even going to play that I can’t get on ps5 or even switch 2?
