“I wish all of you well in 2025. May you find ways to preserve hope and experience joy, whatever hardships may come. And they are coming—certainly for transgender Americans. If you are cisgender, please take up the defense of the vulnerable trans community in the year to come”
Here’s a lil holiday greeting for the outcasts, the lonely, the melancholy, and the alienated.
May you find some joy, hope, and peace this time of year despite its aggravations and triggers

My fellow bugbears, the end of another year is upon us, and, for the United States of America at least, 2025 year promises to be even worse than 2024.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:
Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.
That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Some changes for this year’s dog show. Judgements this year will be made by judges who do meticulous research into the lives of the dogs and then judge based on the dog’s personal morality.

Hmm maybe we should do another 80 million pilot studies to see if it's worth doing some pilot studies on this, probably nothing but you never know!
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

If we cancel cancel culture, what kind of void does that leave? Is it a black hole? Is it Trump’s butthole? Is it the space between Joe Rogan’s ears?

This restaurant was our favorite place to eat as a family for almost 16 years. We brought our favorite people here when we could, and the owners were always so kind. We practically raised our kids there. And the food was terrific. Best Chile Relleno I’ve ever had.
