Trying to figure out which Boston surgeons might be in-network for gender-affirming care, but my insurance company's website will only let me search by the broad category of "surgeon," and not by procedure.

If you are a queer and the first thing you though when you heard about Gene Hackman's death today wasn't "The Birdcage", do yourself a favor and go watch it.

I used to think "happy wife, happy life" was a bit trite.
But for this sort of guy, "is my wife happy and does she approve of my behavior" may be the only reality check they ever get.

Zuckerberg getting divorced and Kanye getting divorced again to complete the Legion of Most Divorced Men to Ever Exist is so satisfying. Their sheer inability to deny that this is exactly who they are. The Racing Car Bed Illuminati.

I read somewhere that it is helpful for stress and panic to immerse your face into freezing cold temperatures. I wonder what the dog would think if I tried it.. or the neighbors : )

Keep a slight drip going in your faucets overnight if your area is cold - everything is depressing enough right now, you don’t need to add frozen / burst pipes to the list 🫶🏻

The absurdly low regret rate on transition (lower than common surgeries like hip replacement!) tells us that we're letting *too few* people transition, not too many.
Transition should be so free and available that people are allowed to make mistakes, just as they might with other choices.

the "oh what if they regret it" seems only to be applied to the side of this equation that protects cis lives
what about all the trans people who would've transitioned sooner given the chance? wonder why it is they don't count for shit on this hmmmm

Five things to do today:
1. Make time for yoga/meditation, whatever movement or stillness works.
2. Turn off the TV, put your phone down, & go outside.
3. Spend time in nature.
4. Make something. A poem. Art. A cake.
5. Remember that the work will be there tomorrow. Care for yourself today.

I liked Bill Cosby. I liked Louis CK. I liked Warren Ellis. I liked Joss Whedon. I liked Tool. Hell, I was even amused by Harry Potter.
The key is being willing to drop them and move on. If you never liked them from the start, then it wasn't particularly hard to disown them later, was it?

this is also why smug “I never liked The Bad Person’s art” posts are so absurd. okay! who cares! taste isn’t morality! there are monsters everywhere! it’ll be your guy next!
I'm hearing people talk about making "safe author" lists/starter packs and hahahahaha holy shit that's a terrible idea. Just start drafting your "We had no idea" post now, because you're going to need it.

Hmmmm Predicting temps in the low 20’s for Trump’s inauguration.. looks like Obama was in the 20’s with a wind chill in the teens - similar to Carter. I guess some people just can’t hang 😆

Our system is flawed, but I take Smith’s words to heart:
“..the fact that our team stood up for the rule of law matters.
I believe the example our team set for others to fight for justice matters.
..you cannot control outcomes, you can only do your job the right way for the right reasons.” 💗
