Frustrated by therapists claiming "if you're not doing diagnosis, you're not doing therapy." This implies that specific cures for specific labels exist. But largely, they don't. We know therapy works, but not really why. (That's deeply uncomfortable, but here we are. That's the current science.) […]

Utterly bizarre: Take a cup of hot water out of the microwave, and when I put a teabag in it it, it whooshes and appears to start to bubble/boil. What the heck??
I guess one of chamomile or anise may slightly lower the boiling temp of the water, maybe?

Anyone have #sanfrancisco food suggestions for a person downtown (Post street) for the next few days? I love basically all types and styles of food -- happy for anything from a food truck recommendation to a fancier sit down place.
Main thing is it needs to either be walkable from this area or […]

#perimenopause self humor: Land at an airport, and finding myself all kinds of cranky at the signs: Go this way for taxis. Then get outside and it’s exactly the opposite direction.

Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing
It's unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass these invasive laws. Their solution? Entirely ban the use of VPNs.

I don’t love that when I was deciding between two outfits this morning, the deciding factor was, “Well, doctors seem to treat me better when I’m well-dressed,” but that’s life.
Plus side, my nicer-dressed option is a reasonable travel dress from my last trip so it’s at least relatively comfortable.

This is just to say
I have binned
the condiments
that were in
the back of the fridge
and which
we could not possibly
have been saving
for any discernible purpose
I ask no forgiveness
They were antique
so cold
and so impossibly past their use-by dates.

The first estrogen patch is on! 🤞🏻No whammies, less itchies, pls.
Also holy hell these are so tiny (and so clear!) compared to what my mom was using some 40 years ago.
The progesterone pills look like little buttered popcorn jelly beans. 🤣

Growing up, I read all 14 books in the original Oz books. The recent meme around #2 has me re-reading them, and I’m shocked at how well they hold up. Women-centered, full of strong female rulers and all-female armies (actually two, one more serious than the other). There’s some […]

Ok, I gave up on The Ministry of Time, but did finish “They Were Her Property,” a fantastic if hard book to read.

Considering abandoning “The Ministry of Time”, despite being almost done. I was sucked in by time travel but it appears to be a ponderous book club type thing where the time travel almost feels … incidental as a set up for the plot. I dunno, feels silly to give up with only 200 phone screen […]

I much prefer targeted boycott pauses than generic "don't buy here ever" statements, just because they seem much more achievable and easier to see if they worked -- this is for Target, Amazon, and Home Depot for this week:
