Transition 

This is, give or take, the effects of twenty years of transition, dedication to becoming the truest self, and all the other crap previously mentioned. I'm still here, you can get there, it may take a while but it can happen, and all that happy noise.

Also help I have too many cuties in my timeline and must fave them all.

TFW you want to be supportive and encouraging of new trans folk by saying, "look, even I can pull it off," only to realize you've been in transition so long your progress no longer looks realistic.

I mean, the effect is amazing, but telling people, "yeah, this is the combined result of HRT, losing forty kilos, laser hair removal, augmentation surgery, and learning how to not give a fuck about whether other people think you pass, and it only took sixteen years" doesn't seem very helpful.

Okay, okay, okay. Two shots of flonase up each nostril, 800mg of Vitamin I, and a note to my coworkers that I'm running late because I can't breathe and everything hurts. I'm giving myself an hour to feel like I can move again.

Allergy season is upon us. I know because I am dead.

Cooking 

I just realized, I can't call what I'm cooking today "chili," because it has none in it. There's not even etymologically any relationship to anything that looked like it. It's categorically related, but there are better category names for what I'm making.

So, this dish is going to have to be rebranded as āyōtl, the Nahuatl word for "stew."

I started yelling about food on birdsite a while back. it was surprisingly fun to fit a recipe in a twert with lots of pictures and sometimes cursing. It was all veg, but I didn't really make a big deal out of it, since I just want to encourage folks to make good food.

Anyway, I decided to turn it into a project, a combination blog and book. It's very much a vanity project, but it feels good to make.

So anyway, MEALTIME WITH MADDY is now a legit thing! mealtime.with.maddypa.ws/

let's form #solidarity #Networks!

- to not deal alone with problems
- to support each other
- to increase our possibilities
- to break the logic of capitalism
- to share what we can
- to take what we need
- to maintain resources as commons

...because we're not here to reproduce the status quo

And it's all just a question of will and organisation.

How about kicking one off through mastodon?

The leftist answer to the NRA. They got everyone from socialists to libertarians, they're a pretty diverse bunch, and most of the political stances they take aren't too bad (to me).

I've always believed the best bulwark against the heavily armed right is not to plug our ears and pretend gun control is magic pixie dust that can Save The Day (they'll just go underground with their guns), but to answer them on their own terms.

I understand that it's remarkably unsexy and also kind of draining to set up meals programs and develop housing opportunities for not just comrades, but everyone.

However, as a means of creating actual political change, consider the vast sum of wealth recently poured into the Georgia 6th special election. Democrats across the country dumped 27 million on Ossoff's campaign.

Now imagine instead that sum was used on a housing trust for union members, who could now strike without fear for months.

@munin Open source culture is so bad because talent is valued more than basic things like, idk, treating people like human beings?

Because @acetone_kitten and @starkatt and at least a half dozen other folks wanted to know, I got this shirt on Amazon (I was surprised, too!) at the following link: amazon.com/gp/product/B072Q79G

And there we have it: gobi gajar paneer. The sauce makes the fried paneer nice and soft, the veg have soaked up the spice, and everything just sinks into the rice and makes everything fragrant. Brilliant mouthfeel, lovely taste. It may not be a Bollywood classic, but it's got homegrown dazzle.
