More women have been attacked by other women in restrooms for being suspected of being trans in 2024 than women have ever been attacked in a restroom by a trans woman in all of recorded history.
In 2024 more women were attacked by another woman in a public restroom than by a trans woman.

In fact I don't think any were attacked by a trans woman.

I am basically your mom who knits and listens to NPR. I also own 4 consoles and a Steam account.
An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games.

Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

I am having post-holiday brain fog and disassociation and I just want to say that if you're experiencing the same, it's okay. Give yourself time. Family—in person or just in memory—can be A LOT.

Take a walk. Drink a hot beverage. Get a blanket. Take a nap. Put your headphones on. It'll be okay.

I didn't make enough pie over the holiday and now I can't have pie for breakfast. I am so disappointed in myself.

I miss getting a physical newspaper just so I can find and fold the crossword page to my liking. I know I can print them, but it's just not the same. I crave that rough newsprint.

Trying to remember how to do social media again. How do you do, Fellow Kids.
