So, after three years of health issues, life changes, and a lot of "okay, maybe I'll have time tomorrow...."

Comics are coming this weekend.

Mattress Firm is doing these commercials where jerks do bad things, then say they can sleep at night because they have their mattresses.

If anything, this is making me NOT want a Mattress Firm mattress.

Or worse, they're marketing TO the jerks.

Dishes done and laundry folded at the same time? In this economy?

Don't get me wrong.

I like people... well, a lot of people, anyway.

I like helping people with their issues.

I like being good and reasonable and sensible. Or pretending to be, anyway.

But WHEN DID I BECOME THE ADULT IN THE ROOM?!

I'm a gigantic disaster, I'm a wreck of a human being, I'm a mess and a complete fuckup, I'm a Titanic, I'm a freaking toilet paper homonculus figurine! I can barely manage my own life without it turning into a dumpster fire! Why does everyone think that I'm a good target for "Hey, this girl should be able to fix my life!"?!

I'm sure everything being completely fucked by shitty people is just a phase and that outlawing rational people being pissed about it in public will fix a lot of it.

The culture war over gender affirming Healthcare so frequently ignores the fact that only a small percentage of gender affirming care is actually for trans people. The majority is for cis people who are accessing it for the exact same reasons as trans people, feeling more comfortable in their gender identity.

I was prescribed spiranolactone because my body makes more testosterone than I want it to, and as a girl I do not like having excessive facial hair. Easy easy, doctor tested my blood and wrote the prescription. I didn't have to prove anything other than I wanted less facial hair, and because I'm cis everyone involved trusted that my personal preferences and discomfort were enough to give me what I needed to solve the problem.

Most top surgeries are performed on cis men (to treat gynecomastia and create a more masculine chest) and cis women (to create a more feminine chest). Most hormone therapy is given to cis people to help them comfortable in their gender.

Oh my gosh. I am so using this now 😂

🤔… of course now I need to figure out my adjectives 😝

Once you could count on some things posted online probably being true because, well, why would anyone bother to put out misinformation about a topic so obscure or uncontroversial? now the simple fact that someone might want to know a bit of information makes it worth faking if it can get their eyeballs on an ad— or improve the search ranking for some company. The harmless act of *being curious* about the world causes misinformation to spring to life. We have made wanting to learn destructive.

#OTD in 585 BC.

A solar eclipse occurs, as predicted by the Greek philosopher & scientist Thales, while Alyattes is battling Cyaxares in the Battle of the Eclipse, leading to a truce.

How exactly Thales predicted the eclipse remains uncertain; some scholars assert the eclipse was never predicted at all. Others have argued for different dates, but only the eclipse of May 585 BC matches the conditions of visibility necessary to explain the historical event.

If you live in the UK or USA, you need to understand one thing about the coming election:

You need to vote *defensively*.

Neither of the main parties are appealing. But if you don't vote for the lesser evil you may end up helping a totalitarian horror get elected.

Hold your nose and goddamn vote, dammit. THEN go on protests. Because if you don't vote for the lesser evil, the victor will welcome your protests with bullets.

The prize for political purity this time round is a shallow grave.

So, once the money starts coming in, whenever that is, I'm looking at getting a really good arcade stick for my PC. Joystick and 6 buttons in a Street Fighter layout. Looking for switches in the joystick and buttons.

What would YOU, the viewer at home, suggest?
