A little bit about me: full stack software dev who loves the frontend, a disabled activist for #Insulin4All (but I care about lots of disability justice issues!), an avid fan of fantasy novels, baking, and IndyCar racing, proud cat mom. That pretty much sums up what I tend to talk about online!
Is there anything better than your kitten quietly curling up as close as possible to you?

Alice was an incredible person who worked hard to widen the path to liberation so others could follow. May we be called to rise up in the wake of her passing; may she rest in power.
Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Six young Black moms were allegedly killed by suspects who were on probation but not being monitored in person by probation officers because of a warrant out for their arrest.
Their deaths left 12 children without mothers.

In less than two hours my bloodsugar has dropped by over 300 points. So I feel fucking weird, thanks for asking! And no I don’t know why it did this, but if someone could figure it out and let me know, that would be great!

You know what’s fun? You take your kitten to one of the rescue-partner vets for her spay surgery and they call you to say they found a heart murmur but are doing the surgery anyway - nothing to see here! I’m not worried at all!

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

The problem I have when going to German style beer gardens here is that, having lived in Germany (and Berlin specifically), I ask questions like “what does Berlin style ketchup mean?” knowing full well the American ass bartender isn’t going to know the answer
