It really stings to have expartner / live-in friend tell me about shows they just watched and enjoyed, since they were shows we had been planning on watching together 😥

My mom always says I'm a good photographer. I usually disagree bc I just have a phone - that's easy. But maybe there is something to the way something catches my eye at a particular angle?

I regularly think about how these guys just bopped around and survived as a species for so long, while humans are supposed to be the pinnacle of intelligent life and we're taking ourselves so quick

And since we're so good at thinking we could have had a good quality of life, too. I'm not just talking about if we stayed at hunter-gatherer level. We could have a high quality of life for every human we have right now, for way less energy & resources so the planet stays liveable.

We just had to not do capitalism. That's it. And we could be bopping like trilobites in a sweet climate for millions of years. It's so embarrassing.

Just realizing that I did have a gut "Ick, AI" reaction when I saw the same release at my mammography center. Didn't think about medical science AI vs LLMs / genAI Glad I saw this before I remembered to reschedule my appointment 🙃

Ran late for my [potential] mouth cancer removal appointment bc I had to stop to send a picture of a suspicious vehicle to the RR chat, and then again to have diarrhea in a grocery store bathroom. So that's the kind of day I'm having. But I actually feel less bad than the last couple weeks, so..

How fucking creepy and predatory are these social media companies? Why should we let our communities be at the mercy of the US’s lack of regulation or moral fibre

From the LabCorp website. Common reasons for stool samples to be rejected at the lab include "specimen received in denture cup, 'Cool Whip' container, margarine container, or similar container"

Went to a weekend camping gathering thing. It was the most time I've spent around a bunch of people in 7 or 8 years. Turns out, it's still incredibly lonely.

The website listed viral precautions, so I thought I'd have people there. But there were only maybe 2 (out of ~150) consistently masked. And few other access accommodations. People don't even realize that huge chunks of their community aren't even there.

I have a photo folder of my ".. but there were signs" pictures from pre-T and they are so sweet to look through now. Like, aw, look at the baby in denial. Don't worry, we figured it out (by leaning into the 🤷)

Why did you transition? Right answers only Bc I felt like there was a pot of water inside me that went very slowly from a low simmer to rapidly boiling over, and I didn't know why, but wondered if it was my vague internal/external incongruence coming to a head. It was. I feel better now.

The easiest thing you can be doing to help the world be better is wearing a mask* as often as you can in public spaces. Imperfect is fine if the alternative is not at all. *Kn95, n95, or better, over your mouth and nose

“Remember the morgue trucks? Ugh, so terrible.” What if I told you that people are still dying of COVID every day, but it’s being reported as other things? What if I told you it primarily happens to vulnerable populations, which is why people are happy to handwave it?

On July 29, 1900, the anarchist Gaetano Bresci assassinated King Umberto of Italy, punishing the king for ordering the brutal killing of hundreds of workers who were protesting rising food prices. At that time, power and wealth were concentrated in the hands of an uncaring elite. Whereas today…

Wish I was kidding but also did you know that you can buy yourself a jug of kids juice and just drink it and not have to share it or anything?? It's amazing!

This was supposed to be a "random stoned thoughts account" then it became political rage and now it's entering crybaby depression oversharing era. Then the cycle will repeat again

Feeling like the biggest loser in the world. I can house someone, share everything I have, do years of emotional and physical caretaking, write love letters, get little gifts, be a listening ear, a masseuse, an errand runner, and a generally kind person & it's still not enough.

I think the movie A Bug's Life is a great depicion of why any movement for working class people is better off when disabled and neurodivergent people are included.
