The trans widows things is extreme, but it would really be nice if the spouses of trans people had space to acknowledge that this is not what they signed up for, and while trans people should always be supported, their spouses DO have the right to say no, I don't feel the same way about you without being made to feel badly for not just going along with it all. I would be supportive if it happened to me, but I would not be attracted to them any longer.

I'm not quite there yet because of logistical reasons, but I feel like I spent over 25 years getting a PhD in narcissistic personality disorder. If you are previously vulnerable prior to your relationship to people like this, your partner will take you for all they can get and make everything out to be your fault, no matter what heinous things they do. When they inevitably discard you, the light will go on about exactly how horrific they were all along. I do not blame him for everything that went wrong, but he sure orchestrated most of it, and magnified and distorted my every flaw to the umpteenth degree until I felt like I ruined everything all of the time. I absolutely did not, he's just bat shit crazy.

Worth 50 bucks to me, it's so cute.

A hangnail is more useful than AI.

Weaponized disinformation really.

What concerns me is that some people will say "oh we vaccinate, like not for flu or COVID or anything like that, but real vaccines". Um, how many people have to die?

Romana still has supporters. I don't think we quite have MAGA, but unmoderated social media affects us all.

If you got vaccinated from 1970 or earlier, get a booster. If later than that, get your titer level checked. The immunity is good but not everyone becomes immune.

Yes I got a titer too and am waiting for results. These ignorant asses aren't going to kill me with their nonsense. I also just got the shingles vaccine, my tenth COVID shot, and next pneumococcal and RSV vaccines. I'm sorry weaponized disinformation on unmoderated social media has led them to this but also they can fuck off all the way to fuckoffville and then fuck off some more.

And it's the ka-yutest little bebe.

In the late 90s there was a women's magazine called Bust, and for some reason they'd also let you have a bust dot com email account if you wanted. You could email me at cleavage@bust.com, and those were creative fun days of the Internet.

ETA: it still exists as a quarterly internet magazine but it is NOTHING like it was, it was a great magazine.

It did, it just only got noticed in people who are intellectually disabled. That's the only kid I knew with autism growing up in the 80s who got diagnosed.

The son of a family friend obviously has Asperger's, he's a few years older than me, and his parents did have him tested back then and were told nothing was wrong, but I don't think they had that knowledge back then. He will ask me for a Coke Zero every ten minutes like clockwork when he comes over, polish it off and ask for another.

Cool, how do I disable this shit feature?

I don't dislike Kamala, and Trump is a sociopath. I realize Joe Biden probably had cancer before he dropped out and that's why he dropped out. But I have to also say that voters probably didn't like the bait and switch approach where they suddenly felt they had to support her simply because she appeared as the candidate in the last legs of the campaign. I think diversity and female leadership is important, but probably asking undecided voters to go for a POC woman when that's not who they started out supporting probably didn't help. Old white centrists don't like that, and she didn't have time to build a campaign and show her skills like Obama did. Probably a good chunk of people straddling the line vote wise didn't love that. We had this happen in Canada recently with our new prime minister Carney, but he's an older white centrist dude, and we were clearly ok to hold our noses and do it to keep out the conservatives, but I think if it was someone like Kamala they might not have won.

I'm 50 and I will do literally anything to not climb any stairs. My knee just doesn't wanna.

This is a really good podcast by an actual psychiatrist about it. Don't listen to Andrew Huberman and his garbage science.

The important thing is getting the meds right, and taking them faithfully. They really do work remarkably well but figuring out what to take is hard. But plenty of people do really well on them, I have type 2 myself, and I work normally and have lots of friends, and you'd really never know because I've been on them for years and am really even Steven and responsible and calm and managing fine.

I think type 1 is harder in many ways because the manic episodes are so disabling, but type 2 is really hard to diagnose and makes you WILDLY irritable. A work friend recently got diagnosed, she's a very educated physician, and yet she ended up manic, and I do believe she maxed out her credit cards, and was driving recklessly and wrecked her tire, and she ended up hospitalized after telling ALL of her friends and colleagues on WhatsApp, which she has no memory of, as well as being really out of it trying to do clinics. It has devastated her and I'm honestly not sure she'll ever be able to work again.

That image leaves me helpless with mirth.

No, because the Internet has gotten so raggedy and corporate and enshittified and that's where everything takes place.

An important question; type 1 or 2? They're both difficult but type 1 tends to really wreck lives in a dramatic way.

East Coast music in general is awesome; have you heard of Cassie and Maggie? My favourite Christmas music ever. I will watch the play for sure!

My coworker pal is from there and she says if random local people invite you for dinner or tea, you should just go, because they're that hospitable. I think that's amazing. I will visit someday!
