Lately I keep expecting myself to somehow bootstrap myself into feeling better. But as always, we can't personal choice our way out of systemic problems.

We're doing a Nishiki Market food tour in Kyoto. Turns out Nishiki Market is only a 4 minute walk from the Nintendo Kyoto store. O RLY

I think I may be most excited for Nagano, out of all the stuff on our Japan trip in December. It's off the beaten path. It's not a place people think to go, other than for the snow monkey park.

Unpopular fall opinion: I don’t like soup! I like chili a lot and I like vegetable beef stew as long as the chunks are big and there’s more of them than there is broth. Any soup that’s mostly broth or is a smooth, bisque-like soup, I really don’t like.

Is anyone else talking about how the list of degrees that aren’t “professional” anymore skews pretty heavily toward occupations with a lot of women in them?

Due to our high risk of diabetes (me) and heart disease (him), Bryan & I have decided to try semaglutide. So far the weirdest thing about having no appetite is having to pay close attention to be sure your food has the fiber/protein you need because you won't have room for it later.

Bryan & I went to the Astate football game again last night but this time we sat in the rich people seats. My cousin (the rich person in question) couldn’t make it so he gave us his seats & parking. Free food, a waitress to bring us beer, and ice cream in the 3rd quarter?!

No matter what my politics I guess I’m still American because this appeals to me on an absolutely visceral level LOL

Went out canvassing with one of my favorite buddies today. Together we finished two lists and knocked on over 90 doors! Found several more voters that had no idea about this election and they will all be voting for @aftynbehn.bsky.social!

I don't gatekeep transness. If you say you're trans, you're trans. Whatever your gender(s) is (are), there you go. You know you best. It doesn't matter to me if you medically transition or not. Some people will need to, and some people won't, and some people will want to, and some people won't.

If you've been low energy, down, stressed, struggling, and it hasn't gone away after 1-2 weeks? You deserve help. Contact a doctor. Check in about your meds if you're already on any. If you live where it is dark in winter right now, look into light therapy. Ask a friend to help. You deserve help.

For those of y'all who were kids or teens & watched the Challenger launch at school: was it ever acknowledged for y'all that you just watched 7 people die, or was it like my experience where no teacher ever really talked about it again?

Yall I do healthcare analytics and you cannot haggle when literally no one involved knows the price of the transaction in advance. Not the doctor, not the insurance, not the patient. It’s all a mystery until it runs through the claims engine and that is weird too.

Yup! It's post-hoc filtering. They can't actually prevent the generation because it's an algorithmic talking parrot, and no filtering is perfect.
