I’ve been learning ASL recently and I was hoping that this question might reach someone who is deaf for an answer. I know Name Signs need to be given by a deaf person but what about pets? Can a hearing person give their cat a name sign, or do they need to wait for a deaf person to visit?

Huge reminder that if someone tells you who they are, listen. If someone says something like ummm “I don’t want to be around trans people until they are finished” and “calling someone an incel is derogatory and a slur” and “I have been called an incel a lot by many people”, block them.

Last night I started brainstorming some fiction writing, which I have struggled to do for years after grad school. I am actually pretty proud of myself in the amount I got actually down in Scrivener in an hour and so happy it has a section for brainstorming and research.

I lost yet another friend and member of my community. This is the second person I considered part of my extended family that has died in under a year. I can’t even remember everyone I know now that has died. I’m 40. All of my friends dying is not supposed to start this young. I can’t believe it.

Why is your thumb wrapped in medical tape, Bex? Did you injure it? No, I just have bad habits with how I knit and when my finger starts to hurt, I wrap it in medical tape so I can keep knitting. The lesson here: I need to actually switch to continental knitting.

Before I started scar therapy, I didn’t know how exhausting it would be. I’m not even talking about the months spent doing scar desensitization. I mean, I go and she massages my scars and I talk about anything I can think of to distract myself from the pain and then go home and take a nap.

Sadly, I have no game but I will flirt with the cute person at the Haunted They Bar from now until forever.

My boots are way too cool for me seeing as I am reading the Wikipedia page for the history of the Ph.D and M.D. and finding it fascinating. New research rabbit hole!

I have been slowly trying to learn ASL, and this thought came into my head tonight. If you can only get a name sign from someone who is deaf, would someone learning sign their whole pet’s name every time or do they get a name sign too? If so, does the pet have to also get it from a deaf person?

I did a lot today in organizing and getting shit done. My friend came by to vacuum and help with the dishes and the room looks so much better. I rotated my desk a week ago and I am actually really enjoying it now.

Bostontok is amazing and hilarious right now as people point out the stupidity of the Border Czar coming to a city that teaches its children in 3rd grade to throw tea in the harbor. Where people walk in flip flops in the snow to Dunks. Where moving a space saver is risking your life.

Does anyone else feel like they are speeding running the end of America as well as killing as many of its citizens as possible or is it just me? If we are all dead, who will make them money?

I wake up in pain today which was my normal before starting Low Dose Naltrexone and discover that I did not take it yesterday and possibly the day before. The rest of my meds are packed by the pharmacy (which I highly recommend), but since the LDN comes from another pharmacy it isn’t packed.

In 1967, Pittsburgh's inner city produced America’s first EMT service. Comprised solely of Black men and women recruited from the city’s Hill District neighborhood, the paramedics of Freedom House Ambulance became trailblazers in providing pre-hospital and CPR care.

Also, I was left unsupervised in a very lovely yarn store.

I then remember I have been Ted Mosby-ed twice! Like I even told the second person “Don’t pull a Ted Mosby” but she told me she loved me on the first date anyway.

Queer Joy was and is again an act of resistance these days and it feels empowering to be in a community space. It’s hard to feel joy these days when our trans siblings are being erased but that living, loving and joy, while hard to find and keep, is exactly what they don’t want us to have.

I officially hate stuffing knitted toys. You can accidentally make them look weird and the stuffing just doesn’t go in how I want it to, even with stuffing slowly and with small pieces.

Waited forever to see my doctor to remove the stitches but spent it reading Manacled. It’s so weird reading it a second time knowing what happened and what is coming but… so glad it’s actually getting published in September

So behind on my reading this year but book 2 is finished. I read the fanfiction “Bloody, Slutty and Pathetic” by WhatMurdah. This has been recommended by many people and while enjoyable and making me think a lot about internal narrative at times, definitely not one of my favorites in the genre.

I see a lot of people saying now is the time to get out of the U.S. if you can.
Please remember most disabled people can’t leave. It’s incredibly difficult to immigrate to another country when you have documented medical issues. Many are also too sick to endure a move.
We must fight for them.
