Something I learnt about #ADHD this year is, the optimal coping techniques are quite different when medicated and when unmedicated, and if you go medicated for long, your unmedicated coping skills may have gotten rusty.

An opinion I feel should be universal at this point: All indoor public spaces (but especially schools, workplaces, and medical facilities) should be subject to air quality regulations and continuous monitoring and CO2 and particulate concentration numbers should be accessibly displayed.

Is there a trustworthy distributor of invite codes for this place to which I can donate mine so that trans people get them? Something coordinated? There are people who need invites, which I have, but few people see my posts offering them. 🎟️

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

I'm pretty much giving up on the app formerly known as Twitter. It has really been degraded as a way to keep up with informed discourse, and I don't want to be an unpaid content provide for Musk. Will start posting wonkery here, maybe also on Threads

Transphobes who get mad about pronouns are weak. I speak Vietnamese. The pronoun I use for myself and the person I’m talking to or about depends on how old I am, how old they are, whether they’re a relative, whether they’re related to my mom or my dad, gender, and more. There are over 20 of them.

in the 90's there was a lot of specific fascination in the USA with the Japanese tiny pod hotels as an example of how crazy the Japanese culture was to put up with such tiny sleeping arrangements.
Anyway, today several hundred thousand Americans sleep in their cars because housing is too expensive

From yesterday's exhibits in US v. Sam Bankman-Fried:
The prosecution shows that the "insurance fund" that FTX bragged about was fake, and just calculated by multiplying daily trading volume by a random number around 7500

technology just leads to heist movie inflation. it used to be that a heist only needed one nerd- a lockpicking guy. now you still need a lockpick, but now you also need a hacker, a drone pilot, and you'll probably need a VR guy soon. even worse is when they just make 1 hacker do the work of 4 nerds
