What they fail to mention on the product page for these sustainable compostable bamboo toothbrushes is that they’re so enormous it’s like trying to brush your teeth with a fucking broom handle. Anyways I recently picked up a new hobby, whittling.

@siracusa.social I was so tired of Red Dot Syndrome that I created a Shortcut to launch Settings and gave it a transparent PNG of the Settings icon. I imagine the janky animation would bother you as much as the badge itself, but I’m willing to tolerate it.

Trans rights are fundamentally threatened. My friends' abilities to travel, to get healthcare, to exist in peace are all under attack. I am so upset about this. But, as a cis ally, why am I so nervous to talk about it? Why am I afraid to appear performative? This is required listening

Lying in bed and feel a tickle on neck behind my right ear. Swat it away, assuming it’s either my bedsheets or my imagination.
Quarter-sized spider.
In my home. In my bedroom, where I sleep. This is a declaration of war.

Woke up to find a shard of clear glass embedded in my heel. No clue where it came from, how I stepped on it while unconscious, or how I managed to avoid bleeding everywhere. Suddenly concerned about what I’ve been doing in my sleep.

Spent my first 20-odd years as a devout Catholic and the biblical verse lodged in my mind is “Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me.”
The poor. The hungry. Seeking asylum. Fleeing death. Children of Gaza. Thrown to the wolves by rich old men in a fucking prayer circle.

This week, I started taking a mid-day break to go up to my building’s rooftop patio and spend some
time away from the horrors of the world. Today there was some weirdo up there in a speedo. Nothing good lasts.

A first for me: Unsubscribing from a podcast I enjoy because they started taking money to inject an episode of a different unrelated podcast into their feed each week. An hour-long ad I’m compelled to download and then delete? NOPE.
