I’ve watched this four times and will not be stopping anytime soon

things going in and out of holes, that's life

Also I moved to LA finally, I actually leave the house most days and I ENJOY it and get antsy when I don't????, it's seeming increasingly more inevitable that I will convert to Judaism at some point, I am still a human disaster but also healing in some cool new ways

THEN
• Gender: apathetically cis
• Polyamory: girlfriend of 6 years, crush, date

NOW
• Gender: transmasc, 15 weeks on T
• Polyamory: dumped (still in love, BIG SAD), unrequited (still in love, BIG SAD), date turned into friend, now domming with 5 FWBs/subs and a few potentials

Since more of my former Twitter mutuals are here than on Threads, though, a quick recap since we all last spoke because a LOT has changed recently:

lol mtg is fighting with a computer about god

Also good lord this is such a time-specific sentence that it's almost self parody

So I post there regularly because it's more fun and better engagement, but that means neglecting the algorithm here, which keeps it from getting fun, and I just miss the golden days of Twitter okay?

The problem is that I've found the algorithm on Threads way easier to curate the way I like it, but Bluesky is a safer place to let my freak out because it's totally detached from Meta and therefore my IRLs from my Before Era.

If you’re happy and you know it, stay in bed
If you’re happy and you know it, stay in bed
If you’re happy and you know it, getting up will surely blow it
If you’re happy and you know it, stay in bed

My wife & I choose our kids' names based on what's popular at the time. Like our daughter Alanis and our son Iraq War

Absolutely unbelievable ad in the community theater playbill.

Being at a queer community gathering when the downpour hit LA tonight was healing in ways I cannot begin to express

Me: (oblivious to the fact that it's my turn because I'm locked in lining up my board game pieces to perfectly fit the grid of the gingham tablecloth)

Therapist friend who does not buy my belief that I'm not autistic: (STARING LOUDLY)

I was playing Ticket to Ride with my nonbinary friend last night. Had a hand of locomotive cards in pink, white, and blue. Showed it to my friend and said "trains pride!"

I think I'm hilarious.

Omg the FEATHERS ERA

i don’t know what you want, i sob into the shiny rectangle that holds dick jokes soup recipes murder and people i love

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.

One big reason I'm poly only really in theory is that I just don't meet people very often whom I LIKE enough to want to date?? My two modes of attraction seem to be "very minor crush with a 48-hour expiration window" and "bewitched body and soul" with NOTHING in between, and the latter almost never

act natural [turns into a trapezoid]

One bishop, in one church, literally just asked the president to be nice and him and everyone in his circle been melting down for a week.

These aren't strong people. They're very, very weak people. They can be beaten.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

YOU SO COULD

The antidote for despair is action ❤️

* Dial (202) 224-3121
* Enter zip code
* Leave voicemail
* Say “My name is ___, I’m a constituent in [town]. (If clinician/scientist, say so)

“The NIH freeze harms research and patients and must be lifted immediately.”

Be brief. Staffers tally all calls. Go! ✅

Mac and Cheese is self care

IG mutuals moving over is like going to your high school reunion as a drastically different person and the people who never left town want to reconnect

I haven't been here much! But HI!

I was excited about being even more unhinged here than I was on Twitter because I'd had my Twitter account long enough that I was connected to a few longtime IRLs who didn't need to know EVERYTHING.

But now the Instagram expats are coming here and oh no
