Brief update:
- Got a job, start in a couple weeks
- Spending time with my darling multiple times a week is awesome
- Had a movie day with my darling and her kiddo on Sunday and it was a lot of fun ❤️
Hope you're all doing well, gang. :)
I started taking anti-anxiety meds in October, 2021.
I have taken my meds faithfully EVERY SINGLE DAY since then.
Until yesterday. Just plain forgot.
I am so pissed. I was almost at FOUR YEARS without missing a single day!
So here's the reminder that I could have used yesterday: take your meds!
Brief updates:
- Still unemployed (fine, but starting to need $$$)
- Partner and her ex and their kiddo are here, for almost 2 months now
- Partner and I have finally had a tiny bit of time alone together! 😂
- I have been up since like 2:30am because today is kiddo's first day of kindergarten. 😅
1. Today, SCOTUS allowed for bans on trans care in a devastating, though limited, ruling in Skrmetti.
It ruled discrimination against gender dysphoria is not trans discrimination, and used the same rationale used by VA to defend its interracial marriage ban.

The Trevor Project is triple matching donations right now. They work to prevent suicide in LGBTQ youth and are a miraculous organization that Trump just cutoff from the national suicide hotline.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity
New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism
“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'
*More of this, please*"
MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States.
A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports.
This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.
Image of a screenshot of news headline, saying, "WhatsApp is getting ads using personal data from Instagram and Facebook Forced Consent & Consent Bypass / 16 June 2025 Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."
Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3
Keep masking. I still wear at least an N95 (more often an N99) whenever I go out. I also bought two air purifiers for my apartment and will be buying others as my partner and I get settled into life together.
Transphobia is never ok. Even against problematic transgender women.
This goes for cis and trans people.
I promise that pedaling transphobia will not make things better for the trans people in your life you care about.
PS: I have my final Python assignment due in like 48 hours and have hardly touched it and it's object-oriented shit and I HATE object-oriented programming. (Probably why I'm posting.)
And also will be sitting in an empty apt for 2 days, waiting for furniture deliveries while attempting to code. 😅
<taps microphone>
This thing on? 😅
Brief updates:
- got FIRED (!!!) and they bribed me to not sue them with several months' salary
- taking a Python class
- Partner (and her ex and their kid) are coming to Canada in early July and should be for good!
Still sometimes thinking about #Sanvers.
I don’t know what’s more upsetting: that Flo’s character on Grey’s isn’t a doctor or that she has a thing for goddamn Owen of all people. I had a GA short all planned out for Flo’s character being a doctor and now she’s not one AND likes OWEN?
Rude.
It could have been so much cooler!
Update: 5:39am: They still won’t shut up despite numerous promises that I will write tomorrow.
I feel I must inform you all that it’s 4:48am and Alex and Maggie are having a lengthy discussion IN MY BRAIN and refuse to let me sleep.
😒

I've written about this elsewhere, but the longer you're on Substack the harder it is to move. I've been on Beehiiv for a year now and I'm really happy I made the switch. The "growth" Substack is showing you is absolutely not real and you will find that out very quick when you leave the network!
😊 You're too kind! :)
I think it's just rude that Life has other plans for me when I'd rather be writing! Here's hoping things quiet down for you and me and anyone else who wants to write. :)
I miss #Sanvers.
Thinking about getting Earth Seven written and finished by the end of the year. I've got a few hundred words and a decent idea for this Earth, I think. Now if only I can find the time and/or energy...

The military has already had severe issues with recruitment. Ripping out and removing 15k active duty service members would severely hurt morale and readiness. This is what you'd do if you want to cripple the US military.
We told you it wasn't about sports you jackass.
There's been some confusion about the Jon Favreaus so let's clear that up.

On the right, a giant douche nozzle also named Jon Favreau.

Long Covid rates nearly DOUBLE in people who were already disabled.
This is why we beg you to care about safe spaces. Beg disability orgs to implement clean air and masking.
We’ve been shut out of society. We’re much higher risk. We deserve inclusion.

It’s officially fanon for me now. And I will write it if I need to! #Sanvers
