Japan has been living in the year 2000 since 1980.

Best turtle, made even better. 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

Torkoal!

As a trans woman, this term has been suuuper rough on me and it’s barely a twelfth over.

I was at the last one, and I’ll be at the next one.

I hope so.

Also hey person who downvoted me, I really hope you’re right. Another election would be good. It’s just there’s all this doom in the air.

Yeah, we’re not gonna get another election. We blew it as a country. Shit’s over.

Japanese, English, ASL, and Spanish. Those are my four.

I’m trying to get my Japanese back to as good as it was before I came to America-proper; I spent my childhood on an Air Force base and went to a school in rural Japan. Then I learned English, and with it, my Japanese started rotting. Started really trying hard to get decent at it again for the last decade. It comes, but slowly.

I can count to ten in Spanish cause that’s the second-place language out here, and ASL cause doing 20 counts on one hand is stupid useful and I love it.

I can count to ten in just four languages, sadly.

The AI slop machine got Trump’s name right, but whiffed entirely on the author of the book.

Well now I did.

I suspected about two weeks ago that I would, at some point, be a likely candidate for being sent to CECOT on the basis of daring to be transgender, and this is only more supporting evidence that it’s gonna happen.

A few things:

• Do you know what “screeching” means? It doesn’t mean “state well-reasoned arguments with mostly lowercase letters.”
• Screeching is useful, and is enjoyed by a wide variety of people, including retail employees, library disturbers, theater ejectees, and other people.
• I worry that by accusing everyone of “screeching,” as you put it, that you have a habit of casting autistic and neurodivergent people in a bad light. Accusing everyone who makes a reply at you of “screeching” is really weird.
• I bet you actually screech. I tap silently on my phone while listening to good music. It’s a wonderful vibe.

Fair.

I’m better in my second language than you are in your first.

Tell me you’re American again.

Thanks for doing what I asked for.
