It's my turn. The DM asks what I want to do. I point to an object on the map. "What's this?" "That's a pot of soup." "I want to throw the soup." I roll a 1. DM "roll me a constitution check." I roll 19. DM "because of your experience as a connoisseur of soup pots, you narrowly avoid getting burned."

A win! A federal judge in Washington issued a longer-term injunction, blocking the Trump administration from removing or damaging any more trees on the grounds of East Potomac Golf Links.

Also, as someone who is disabled: 1) Dems who have proven they will sacrifice anyone in exchange for victory do not make me feel safer & 2) keep my community out of your mouth. If you can justify sacrificing trans people now, I know you'll do exactly nothing when we're the next target.

My sister and I had to explain to our dad how an LLM works because he tried to get it to do math and it got the answer VERY WRONG. "Dad, it can't do math, it's not a calculator, it's just autocomplete on steroids. It can words good, but don't let it do math, it copies off all the bad math."

Stuff like this is why I'm so vehemently opposed to Washington State's IL26-638 proposed measure on the ballot. Sports parents are nutjobs, and if a crazy parent has the ability to subject a girl playing sports against their daughter to invasive genitalia exams and sex tests, they simply WILL.

Ugh... okay, so, I gotta shit on my fellow aro-ace spec peeps for a hot minute, because some of you are pieces of shit. Identifying as "aro-ace" is not an excuse to be bigoted against other aro-ace spec people or say bigoted things. The fact YOU have no sexual or romantic attraction at all...

Some of this is trauma talking after having had the misfortune of having loved another aro-ace spec person who engaged me romantically, decided that wasn't their speed, and then decided to gaslight me that it never happened and abusively controlling my language after instead of just saying...

..."sorry, I don't think I feel the way you feel, and I think we should stop". But yeah, controlling the language of aro-ace queer people by forcing it into allocisheteronormative boxes is not helpful, and it's not healthy, it does a lot of fucking damage and harm, and y'all gotta stop.

Queerplatonic relationships are not just "friends but stronger", as many queerplationic people will just refer to themselves as a couple or as partners, because, to them, that bond is more meaningful that what we say when we mean "friend", and it's just not easy to explain to a world...

...of people steeped in allocisheteronormativity that "my "friend" means as much to me as your wife means to you". Without the cultural terms to say what we mean, we resort to what works, and when you equate a cishetallo friend group and a ace or even aro-ace polycule, that's flat wrong.

...orgasm is in any way proof of orientation. That's just a bodily reflex triggered by specific circumstances. The reason all this matters is that the POINT of talking about asexuality isn't to promote celibacy, but to dismantle misunderstandings and misconceptions about sexual attraction...

...so that people can navigate sexuality and engaging/not engaging in sexual relationships safely. The same is true of aromanticism. We talk about it, not to promote singlehood, but to help everyone understand the complexities behind romantic love and other forms of life-long non-romantic bonds.

...everyone that asexuality =/= repulsion towards sex. Many sexually attracted people ALSO experience repulsion, and many asexual people DO NOT. Asexuality is simply a lack of sexual attraction. You can be ace and service your partners because you want to make them happy, and you can also...

...even enjoy the feeling of orgasm while asexual, just as a gay person forced into a straight marriage can climax from genital stimulation, even if they don't find their partner's body arousing or appealing. RAPE victims have been known to orgasm, so we DESPERATELY need to separate the idea that...

The aro-ace people who come out and insist that "asexuals don't date" or say, as one aro-ace person recently replied to me, that an asexual polycule is "called a friend group" are not promoting the needs or feelings of us all, just pushing their own limited understanding of themselves on everyone.

I am a repulsed ace person. Genitalia of all sorts on both normative ends of the sex spectrum disgust me. The idea of touching them is horrifying, and the fluids... oh the fluids... [shudder]. This, though, is *me* as I am asexual and REPULSED. I feel a STRONG need, however, to regularly remind...

...does not mean NOBODY aro-ace does, and that fact YOU would never describe yourself as "in a relationship" does not mean NO aro-ace people would. Aromantic-asexuality is a *spectrum*. For instance, I'm asexual and demi-romantic. I NEVER have sexual attraction and my romantic attraction tends...

...to require time to build up. That makes dating to find somebody VERY hard for me, even as someone who desires a girlfriend/non-man partner at some point, because I need to get to know a person to feel I want to be with them, and that might not click for awhile, if ever.

Ilhan Omar has such incredible grace and poise in the face of all the unfair things being said about her and happening to her. It's horrifying to watch the cruelty of the attacks, but seeing her strength in the face of it all is aspirational. Y'all better keep voting for her, she's amazing.

Baby food is underrated. Not the savory kinds, because blegh, but like, the fruity ones. Especially the Gerber one that's mashed prunes. It's like applesauce but waaaaay better, so IDK why it's only marketed as being for babies, because plain unsweetened applesauce is boring.

Could I get pudding cups with my SNAP instead? Yes. Do I? Not often. I haven't found a lactose free rice or tapioca and the odds of me forgetting to take lactase tabs with the pudding are unpleasantly high, but prunesauce has no such risks, the prunesauce does not cause debilitating gut pain.

As a kid, I refused to eat the savory turkey spew goop after a short time, but I never outgrew the prunes. My mom bought the jars of prunes for me well into elementary school because applesauce cups were just mid by comparison to the puréed prunes, which is why I started buying those again at 32.

FUCK YEAH, WOOOOOOOOOO

In New Zealand, the High Court ruled that a puberty blocker ban violates prohibitions on discrimination on the basis of a medical condition. It stated the ban was "unjustified and disproportionate discrimination." Trans youth can get care again. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

This owl was getting banded and tagged by the Rocky Point Bird Observatory. For the owl’s safety, he/she was wrapped up. These photos…🤣🦉. So cute.

I am very stupid. I love seals, so in my sleep I dream that seals swim upstream to pup on my lawn, some left abandoned, but, like an idiot, my sleep brain won't just let build me this paradise, it must have anxiety, and thus, while my yard's full of needy seals, I am not a licensed rehabilitator.

I am not kidding whatsoever, I constantly dream of fat baby seals to hug in places there should not be fat and huggable baby seals, and it's always illegal because I am stupid and I build dreams like a dummy, for how can the joy of petting cretcher be complete without "no pet it" anxiety?

"It's not a genitalia exam because a doctor will do it" is the exact kind of medicalized misogyny that is the problem, like schools demamding to track student's periods or ANY OTHER invasion of a cis girl's medical privacy in the name of "protection" and "fairness".

Have you actually read Section 3(2) of I-638? It requires a signed verification from a student’s personal healthcare provider, relying on reproductive anatomy, genetics, or naturally produced testosterone. Nowhere does it require genital inspections, much less repeated invasive examinations.

This is a medical privacy violation bill disguised as a ban on trans girls in sports. Trans girls DO NOT HAVE a female birth certificate. If you just wanted to ban them, which is also wrong, you'd go off the birth certificates, but cis intersex girls ALSO receive female birth certificates...

...along with all sorts of other gender-non-conforming girls who are legally female from birth, and this bill attacks THEM, too. Rejecting LEGAL BIRTH SEX DESIGNATION is an attack on ANY cis woman who might be tall, hairy, deep voiced, have large hands, or was born with a primary trait DSD.

Many cis girls will sudden suffer elevated rates of androgens in puberty and life is already scary and stressful for tween and teen girls, so there is NO BENEFIT to their safety to have them run submit their heavily scrutinized bodies for medical review. Leave girls' bodies and privacy alone.

Furthermore, in a country where healthcare is not a right, not even for minor children, how do you suppose it's fair for poorer girls and their families already struggling to be forced to submit a bunch of their daughter's medical records when her birth certificate IS ALREADY ON FILE AT SCHOOL.

No, actually, NO GIRL should have to certify that she is normatively endosex to play sports. This is a violation of the privacy of ALL cisgender girls with a DSD and could lead to restrictions against girls with SV-CAH, CAIS, mosaicism, plain old PMOS or any NUMBER of other conditions.
