"According to a 2018 study, the percentage of trans people who end up regretting vaginoplasty is about 1 percent, significantly lower than your average knee surgery. The most common reason for regretting trans-affirming surgery, in fact, is inadequate surgical outcomes."

I’ve played clubs in Raleigh and dropped in at #OccupyRaleigh once, but never an in-store. I just wasn’t sure if the screen shot was real.
I mean, did you do an in-store in Raleigh?

How could it possibly do this when it is a plausibility generator? Why would I want the most likely sounding response if I am supposedly 'using it as a dialogic thinking space' why would I want any of it??? Why do you think it is possible to improve cognition by doing less of it? I do not get this.
If you use it as a dialogic thinking space where you externalities thought and use it to hold, reshape, question, extent, perturb your thinking. Just like a good teacher or mentor could, except you need to set and guide the interaction style.

Well that went fast. We’re adding a second show on the night BEFORE. Follow Cats Luck on instagram, because they’ll have the link up before I will!
First solo show of 2026 is Feb. 15 at Cats Luck in Neptune, NJ, with my pal, Mikey Erg. Only predictable thing about 2026 so far, is that this will be fun.

Don Henley, backstage after a Brian Wilson show telling Wilson how much his music meant, asked him to sign a first-pressing vinyl copy of "Pet Sounds." Wilson signed it: "Don, thanks for the great songs" and started to hand it back, but then decided to cross out "great" before returning it to him.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life
millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on
but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

It got taken down from ytube, but it’s still up here, & I encourage everyone to take 15 minutes (13 + 2 to breathe afterward) to watch it. So much to say about civil v. criminal offenses, why ANYONE should wind up in a place like this, what America is doing, &w/in that, what CBS & Weiss are doing

I truly cannot believe that I have had to spend almost the entirety of the last two decades knowing who Bari Weiss is. And ONE MIGHT SAY it’s my own damned fault for knowing, but now she’s spiking stories at my old employer, CBS News, so
