I was like "I want a log lady tattoo...wait. What if I just have the log. Yes, that's it."

(oops forgot the Alt Text: It's the log lady in the 1980s version of Twin Peaks, cradling her log and saying "My log does not judge.")

a woman in a sweater holding a log says " my log does not judge " ALT: a woman in a sweater holding a log says " my log does not judge "

(it's going on my left thigh so I'll have Gonzo on one thigh and the Log Lady's Log on the other one. I'm stoked.)

i planned out my next tattoo with my artist this week (assuming I get the raise I'm angling for) and it's gonna be the log lady's log with "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" around it

If you bring that video here, I will block you immediately. That is all.

i went for a drink with a friend and the president is posting literal snuff films? incredible.

Was at moon palace tonight and OH LOOK 👀 @lollardfish.bsky.social

I have a meeting at 7 (BOOOOO who did this oh wait, me) so I might try to make it for the first 45 minutes and then hide somewhere to hold my meeting.

But regardless, y'all should go!

it's my friend's birthday today and he's 39. I congratulated him on his last year of his thirties, and he said "it's a privilege to age in this queerphobic world" and yeah. Yeah.

It's crazy and maddening that no cis journalists stopped to ask themselves what's basically the first thing that a trans person would wonder about a study like this. It just shows how biased our media institutions are against gender-affirming care.

It's a good thing I work from home because if I had to share my music with my coworkers, they'd be like "hey what the fuck?"

hey let's condition our son's shelter on him fitting standards of a body that we believe are good but may not actually be medically advised because we're horrible people

this is horrifying.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

I did a short write up on why I'm running: www.dexanderson.com/writing/im-r...

I cannot stress how difficult this kind of behavior makes things for people with legitimate service dogs.

This is a thing I've had to deal with a lot, people will say about a guy I reported on "oh well at least he apologized." In all cases, the guy Did. Not. Apologize. Sometimes they've used what I call "remorse-shaped phrases" that are not & never were actual apologies. Which seem to always get a pass🙃

Finland is Incredibly Bad at Treating Transgender Young People — Assigned A new study out of Finland casts doubt on the efficacy of the country’s lengthy assessments, harsh, invasive questioning, and delayed medical treatments.

A study from Finland has been used to cast doubt on gender affirming care for youth.

But Finland never offered gender affirming care.

Perhaps invasive, adversarial, fruitless years of assessment harm trans youth? New opinion by @evanurquhart.bsky.social:

What an incredible and timely demonstration of the importance of council’s confirmation authority.

Let the Charter Commission know how you feel about them trying to take that away.

they believe that i'm lying to myself about how happy i am + they think everyone should be as miserable as they are.

I mean if you have a reasonable rewrite, feel free to email it to me. :)

No, that's totally relevant. It's overwritten and hard to understand, which makes it extremely hard to implement!

Yes! One of my objections is that it doesn't account for indigenous genders and forces those people to have to fit into a colonized idea of gender.

Anything helps. I’m so sorry.

if, say, a group tabling at pride had miniature bricks made of real cement for swag - like, no more than an inch in size - how excited would you be on a scale of 1-10 to get one

Absolutely! But this regulation that they are looking at is specifically about sexual activity in bathhouses.
