Sometimes you just need the Summer Fair food experience of totally flat hamburgers and french fries from a bag.

Luckily, thanks to restaurant cash and carry stores, you can buy these things by the 5 and 10lb quantity and make them up at home!

Housemate needed for June 1st, greater Seattle area (boost OK) 

Hi, folks. @Leucrotta and I are looking for someone to take over a vacant bedroom in our 3BR/2BA apartment. We live in Shoreline, a bit north of the Seattle city limit.

Rent would be $736/month, water/sewer/garbage ~33/month. Electric heat & air conditioning.
We might be able to supply it furnished, if you need that.

If interested, send me a direct message.

Every communal living situation needs a Mom.

Small gatherings of people seem to be naturally matriarchal. At least the ones that Thrive.

The real hot take is that we should, as a society, codify that role, establish a wage and benefits, and employ more Mom Friends to run our communes.

bunch of trans academics: you could have been using your chosen name all along
me: WHAT
trans academics: yeah your CV and journal titles aren't legal documents
me: WHAT

so trans academics who aren't aware of this, you can use your chosen name everywhere

Digital Artists always need your old PC hardware.

If you know a cute lesbiab or soff boi making furry art, they're gonna have a PC component fail sooner or later.

Next time you rebuild your Gaming PC, or have a lucky salvage find, see if any of your artist friends could use a fresher Graphics card.

Introversion, COVID mention 

Just a reminder that our global circumstances are, counterintuitively, probably rougher on introverts than extroverts.

We haven't been getting the truly private time we need to recharge because our families and roommates are always home. Nor are we getting the structured social time that we do want. If we're working remotely, our calendars may have been filled with Zoom meetings that are even more exhausting than the in-person ones they replaced.

Please check in on your introverted family and friends. They probably feel very, very tired.

the vague suspicion and hostility you feel for men who "paint their nails and act like they're 'soft' and 'innocent' when they're not even that gender variant" is in fact indistinguishable from the normal homophobia and cissexism that punishes men for even the most trivial of gender nonconformity

sometimes i think about all those people who genuinely believe that being biologically male or female affects things like your emotional depth or ability to moderate your emotional reactions

and then i think about how when Rationalism hit Europe there was an abrupt 180 from "women are unfit for leadership because they are Cold and Incapable of being Sufficiently Passionate" to "women are unfit for leadership because they are Emotional and Incapable of being Sufficiently Rational"

Gender, phys, HRT. 

Estrogen has had some unusual side effects.

For one thing is's an Unfair performance enhancer in the machine shop.

For another, I'm gaining Muscle Mass like never before in my life. I feel Bionic when I'm not Exhausted.

This has resulted in a Strange Gender Nexus. Estrogen does all that and a bag of chips like Usual, but also gives me major bonuses to my favorite 'Male' attributes. So much so that it's swung the needle back towards Masculinity overall.

If I'd known all this out ahead of time I'd have started HRT first thing. I went to my ass to get to my elbow, genderwise, and ended up damn close to where I started.

"billionaires earned their money" is this century's "the king has the divine right to rule"

It really is something of a challenge being a Man, a Woman, and a Goodra at the same time, or at least getting the Gender Presentation to the point where everyone's happy.

puerto rico is called the island of enchantment and its true because the bays there can be bioluminescent and they don't look like a place on earth

I'm finding I enjoyed the internet more when it was on Computers and for Nerds, and not in Racist Uncle Leeroy's pocket.

Superpower: The ability to erase someone else's gender markers at will.

Horrifying until you remember all the gender characteristics you'd Like Erased.
