Anti trans rules ohio 

Ohio is planning on placing extremely strict restrictions on adults and minors transitioning. I will link the pdf along with the website where you can give your opinion, but this is urgent. This new rule bars anyone under 21 from receiving any gender transitioning care unless they have a 6 month long mental health evaluation and bans any health care facilities from prescribing hrt to anyone unless they employ or have a contractual relationship with a psychiatrist and an endocrinologist. This will slow down hrt prescriptions and surgical procedures down to a halt and will stop many people whose insurance does not cover a facility with both an endocrinologist and a psychiatrist from receiving any transitioning care in the state of Ohio. Gender reassignment surgery is defined to include vasectomies and hysterectomies so any trans person will be nearly unable to receive either of those surgeries unless it is an emergency.

Tinnitus + auditory processing disorder is an especially hilarious prank for the universe to pull on a linguist. #comics

Trans people took the “grow and change as a person” thing seriously

When Bob saw that chicken on his back, he realized he'd pissed off the tattoo artist.

The downside to using mirrors in telescopes is that we'll never see the space vampires coming.

I saw this spherical cloud today.

today’s Olivia Jaimes Nancy is such a great example of where the modern strip succeeds — Bushmiller wouldn’t make this exact joke about fractals, but this kind of playing around with visual language is exactly what his most groundbreaking comics were all about. It’s both fresh and clearly Nancy

I remember a few years ago, I began watching Lost in Space and I was surprised at how adult and straight forward it was. Until it almost immediately became the Silly Dr Smith show. I figured there was some network meddling there, but not exactly what.

But this makes sense to what I saw. Eventually it got so silly I stopped watching.

Seriously, early Dr. Smith is downright chilling.

I've loved this song since I first heard it, but not knowing Japanese at the time, I wasn't sure what the lyrics were. It wasn't until much much later, that I understood what the song was about. And in particular one stanza.

That one stanza hit me hard the first time I read it. And continues to hit me hard decade laters. It can and will drive me to hopeful tears.

It's very much my attitude for 2024:

"Sad events that stained even my heart blue
"I'll repaint with an angel's paint
"Any way that I want."

Another schedule chage to my Saturday Sci-Fi Theater as we've run out of Night Gallery episodes. The new schedule?

The Tomorrow People (1970s)
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Space Precinct

I love the Tomorrow People. It's terrible, but it's also very much got a place in my heart.

Woke up this morning like I've been on-and-off for the last two or three months. I wake up with my chest and throat hurting like I have the flu or something (right down to coughing up junk and headache)...but after about thirty minutes, I'm absolutely fine.

I actually took a covid test knowing that feeling would "go away" pretty quickly, and it came out clean as usual.

Wish I knew what was up with that. It's almost like "I get sick at night, but I'm cured just after waking up."

Decades ago, I was involved with the SFIBM program modding "Scene." Today, someone made a video playing SFJenn and mentioning "I'd hate to lose all this SFIBM stuff to time."

Well, I still have all my archives from back then, with all my files and even testbeds. Why not share it on the Internet Archive for posterity?

So, if you're at all interested in theold SFIBM scene, and everything involved with it, it's up for as long as the Internet Archive is. Enjoy!
