Divorce
In two days I'll be a divorcee. I'll say things like "in my first marriage..." and "my ex-husband." I never anticipated this as a likely outcome to "my first marriage." I thought we would have been together for the rest of our lives. It's weird. I'm glad for the divorce, and yet I'm…
I'm convinced that if Jeremy Clarkson were Korean he would be Psy
I'm not familiar with it! What's the premise?
tdov 2025 feels like hell but it’s secretly beautiful
Happy TDOV to my fellow community members! 👀🏳️⚧️💖 This year especially I understand the day can feel heavy. So valid. Just existing right now can feel like a struggle, let alone being publicly visible. you wear it as a badge of honor, or it is…
international women’s Day
This year I'd like to share with you a little about one of my heroes, Lynn Conway. Lynn was a computer scientist and a transgender activist from the 1950s until her passing in the 2020s. Born in NY in 1938, she was fascinated by technology and astronomy, and in 1955…

The fabulous Daryl Hannah says “Slava Ukraini” as she presents the Oscar for editing.
"We call on the world to stop the injustice & stop the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people," says Oscar winner Basel Adra to applause from the audience. 'No Other Land' just won the Best Documentary Oscar.
Also a fantastic speech from fellow winner Yuval Abraham on "ethnic supremacy".
The Palestinian-Israeli film "No Other Land" has won the Oscar for best documentary feature at this year's Academy Awards.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.
It's never too late to test for covid 😷
Well surgery was a blast. The healing process takes a long time though since I had to wait on years long waiting lists to have it done at a hospital and pay out of pocket for it since I'm too old to have it done in elementary school at the nurse's office 🏳️⚧️
Genuinely feeling lonely now that TikTok is gone. Like when everyone you know is at a party and you're not invited
Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?
There it is.
Trump’s Treasury nominee just said “extending” Trump’s tax handouts for billionaires is their TOP priority: “This is the single most important economic issue of the day.”
I miss Josh 💖 he was such a lovely human. My heart forever goes out to you
David Lynch was an incredible director and writer, who continuously pushed the boundaries of both film and television. His work has been fairly iconic, if not problematic. He seemed to be aware of the violence women face and potentially capitalized on that in his work. For good or bad, I'm not sure
I believe she's referring to the gender queer weather deity, Alaska Thunderfuck 3000. It's actually pretty great she finally embraced basic pronouns 🥹🏳️⚧️
My First Tranniversary
Today I'm officially 1 year old! 🥳 (iykyk) Last year, Jan 14, 2024, the final pieces of my egg broke away and I realized I'm a woman. It's been a fucking whirlwind of a year. A relationship ended, a new relationship started. Buying a house. Selling a house. Buying a new…

One cat hard at work. I was going to program today but the boss says my code didn't meet quality and that I need to play video games instead as punishment
This is horrifying story about how Florida is attempting to detransition trans prisoners calling their identity a delusion.
If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.
We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵
In Canada the goal is to offer the most health care to the most urgent cases for the least amount of money. In the US the goal is to offer the least health care for the most amount of money.
The double standards are epic
Cute girl with a tattoo stencil on her arm to be inked
It took almost 10 hours but tattoo #8 is completed! I love it so much. I'll share a photo of the completed look when I get the video/photo from the artist! For now, here's the stencil. Who dat?!
If you’re more upset about a transgender woman using your bathroom than you are about a rapist felon running your country, congratulations, you are an idiot, an asshole, and you’re in a fucking cult.
