Once upon a time a friend of my husband innocently asked me (in response to unemployment) why I did not become a 'lady who lunches'.

The question contributed approximately 10% added clarity to my eventual transition.

Today we (husb and me) said goodbye to Marmot - a backpack that has been with us for about 13 years. He was torn and tattered. We each gave him a little thank you speech and a pet before putting him in the big container.

Somehow that affirms my feelings that we have a damned good marriage.

Today was my 2nd day in the office for the week and I had 2 meetings and now the cat can't wash herself in the same room that I am because I am - apparently - overstimulated.

I stg, if I were a dog, someone would've taken me out back behind the shed by now.

Screwed open the case of my hand-me-down pc, took out one of its HDDs and fitted a new smaller SSD. Then made a bootable USB and gave myself a new OS.

I wonder when Starfleet is gonna call to offer me a job in engineering 🤔

Not our new, barely English-speaking cleaner trying to say that she had messaged my husband by saying 'he touched me' instead of 'he texted me'.

Luckily a bit of google translate sorted it out, but for a few minutes there I was... 🤯 🥶 🤬 ☠️.

I wonder if the words are close in Nepali.

Being trans in our world means existing as each other’s shock absorbers, endlessly, and still being worn down by it no matter how strong you are. Solidarity is the one thing that ennobles us, keeps us only worn down rather than worn out. Solidarity is the one thing that uplifts us. Help one another.

So the Torresian crows of Brisbane have the most stunning blue rim around the pupils of their light eyes — and I love them.

Genuinely shaken by the Geert Wilders (apparent) win in NL. I’ve been teaching about him for years, using him as a case study on the rise of Islamophobia in 21st century Europe, and it really is fascism plain and simple - couched, ingeniously, in the language of Dutch tolerance.

Kom vandaag meedoen:

- Protesten tegen Wilders in Utrecht en Amsterdam.
- Hand in hand om het Leidse stadhuis, met de boodschap: we laten mensen van kleur, migranten, vluchtelingen, moslims, lhbtiq+ niet-in-de-kou staan!

er doen morgen 9 partijen mee aan de verkiezingen die de transzorg in meer of mindere mate af willen schaffen. als je nu nog steeds zo'n principieel niet-stemmende anarchist bent omdat je dromen te groot voor de stembus zijn dan heb je werkelijk niks van solidariteit begrepen. ga de fuck stemmen

Enjoying the change in pace from an algorithm designed to get me into fights to an algorithm designed to let me feel befuddled due to lack of context.

I'm not even snarky, it's genuinely fun to just find the conversation in medias res and have to go down a bit of a hole to find the start.

So I am looking for a new cleaner (our previous one had to stop due to health concerns :( :( :( :( ), and I feel like the ones who are responding to my ad are all way undercharging?

Any #Dutch people with a #cleaner: E15/h is too little, right?

Do we do intro posts here? I was gonna copy one from mastodon, but I'd have to update the section with the diagnoses and when I thought of that my front fell off.

So, follow me if you post cat pics, m/m fanfic, and / or ttrpg stuff or if you sometimes gender genderedly down the stairs, maybe? <3
