I had Caitlyn's size already made but decided I needed to cast hers with yours and do the inlay together so they were made with the same materials. Because I'm a sappy romantic.

I ordered these rings from @optimysticals.bsky.social and they arrived last weekend. I got one for both me and my wife after she saw them at ECCC and just melted over them. As per usual, Adrian and his crew are just making the coolest stuff. www.optimysticalstudios.com/product/ring...

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Making "jokes" about bad people having tiny dicks is not funny. And it's an immediate unfollow and likely a block from me.

An anonymous donor just offered to match up to $1,000 to my fundraiser in support of health benefits for @scarleteen.com's staff and an as-needed health fund for volunteers, which means your $1 is worth $2! Anyone want to join in with ANOTHER match to turn that into $3?

Scarleteen has been doing sex ed for ALL since 1998 and is there with sex ed for ALL, to the tune of some five million visitors a month. The people who do this work deserve health care. I am so proud to support their work, and know many of you ALSO believe in sex ed for all, SO now's your moment.

it is weird to me that you can say "crazy has a bad history", "moron has a bad history" "drawing a witch with green skin has a bad history" but "gay panic" gets a forever pass bc "language evolves" (true) and "it's reclaiming" (it's not, not when you had no idea the phrase already existed)
It's even improved from fifteen years ago, I say through gritted teeth when I see a teenager use the term 'gay panic' to describe their feelings like it's a cutesy thing....

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Folks, a pill to swallow: if current Democrats will cave to your healthcare, they will cave to your voting rights. If they will cave to you not getting paid for 40 days, they will cave to LGBTQ+ marriage. If they cave to stalling our airplanes, they will cave to destroying our National Parks.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

This fall has been an extra slow one for small businesses out here, and the tea house is $3.7k shy of where we need to be to make rent before late fees hit this month.
All this to say, if you have some tea shopping to do or friends to point our way today, we'd sure appreciate it!

Relistening to older eps & I'm curious. Re: Warpath - it's said his reservation was massacred, but sometimes also just said it's his town or family.
So was it the town he was from on the reservation or the whole reservation? Because those are such different things.
