2 week road trip with my kiddos has started! OK > MO > IL > IN so far.

Tiles are installed and paint has been touched up. Next, I'm cutting backsplash tiles and painting cabinet doors.

Finally got some tiles down! Just need to cut the edge pieces and roll them out.

I see bunnies 🐰 everywhere I drive 🐇 and they're always cute!

This is still pretty cool.

Here's a great visual that shows gas prices adjusted for inflation.

You can see that gas prices actually trended down during Bidens presidency when you adjust for inflation.

Post covid inflation was steep.

My Galazy s21 died so I got a s25 and just realized I got all the fancy text stuff now.

I don't get constant "so and so liked [entire text content]" texts.

Cue me at 4am texting myself this:

I've done 3 coats of this specialty primer so far and I still don't think I've used enough, per the coverage on the bottle.

I bought 2 gallons and have not emptied the first one yet.

I started applying it like paint, but it's too watery. So I started pouring it straight on and then rolling it out.

My apologies, this comment was between multiple comments by you so I mistakenly thought this was you.

I absolutely did not mean to label you as mentally ill without you telling me that you identify with that label.

I hope you understand this was a simple misunderstanding and not ill intent.

The patch has finally been finished and sanded, so today I did 2 passes with my shop vac. First with a bristle attachment to loosen any dust, and next with a flat and wide attachment to pick up the smallest bits.

I never want to patch a floor again, and I had someone else do most of this.

We do not have data on strength in transwomen who have experienced male puberty beyond 2 years, and most stops at 1 year.

There was no control group of cis women regarding strength.

Current regulations are based on T levels because that's the only thing we have enough control data on.

Honestly, this one is great for a full read because it includes the history and difference of different sporting agencies.

But I'll still give highlights.

Only 4 of the 21 included studies measure muscle strength of transwomen. The measured grip strength and only one included knee flexor/extensor.
June 26, 2025 at 7:24 AM
The data set is 1206 trangender people, 484 of whom were trans feminine.

Pay attention to the lack of consistent results in outcomes for reduction of strength and the limitations of the data.

Scientific literacy requires understanding what the data doesn't say and that scientific bias is real.

I find myself still confused because further up this thread you said this.

So you are either contradicting yourself, or communicating your point so poorly I cannot understand it.

Starting my Pride Month movie marathon a little late with The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert.

I gotta start with my favs, so next is But I'm a Cheerleader, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, The Birdcage.

But there's so many newer movies I haven't seen. Any recommendations?

And if you don't want to consider my words, donate to my cause. I haven't received a single $ and I am not rich enough to cover the costs myself, even though I still do it.

I'm just trying to be very subtle. I wouldn't want to upset my homophobic and transphobic neighbor across the street.

Too much? What does that mean?

Did I just spend an entire hour ironing this Pride bandana, attaching new Pride pins with locking backs, and adding it all to this Pride cowboy hat?

Yes. Yes I did.

Am I still unhappy with how it looks?

Yes. Yes I am.

#queers assemble! How can I make this better?
