Did you have one for Kissinger?

I've got work this weekend, but I've spent my evening today drinking a local craft beer and reading They Thought They Were Free. Seemed appropriate.

My favorite local non alcoholic beer exists because one of the owners drank so hard he got health issues and his doctor told him he had to stop.

I should not have had to suffer through the first, wrong, puberty. I'm left with permanent scars, both physical and psychological, as a result. I'm not coming back to debate people who think thousands of trans kids should suffer the same way I did because one or two cis kids could be hurt. I damn near didn't survive and a lot of trans kids don't. Just dropping these links, I will not debate.

People act like natal puberty is the neutral choice here - it's not. The first wrong puberty made me actively suicidal and that's not unusual. If a kid has gotten so far as to get to a doctor about this, it's pretty clear that something is up (cis people generally don't question their gender in the first place) and by waiting on puberty blockers you're allowing further suffering and irreversible harm to a trans kid. Puberty blockers are a very low risk way of hitting pause and if the kid decides to go through with natal puberty they can just stop taking puberty blockers with no harm other than a delayed puberty.

Creeps are a problem for more than just women. I downloaded Scruff, a gay dating app, a few weeks ago and the very first interaction I had on there was a guy starting off the interaction asking about my genitals (🚩, but I tactfully disclose being trans in my profile...) and immediately after I explained he asked for pictures. And my profile says I don't do pics.

Some men just suck.

JFC that's too hot. I'd been thinking maybe Spain would be a nice place to move to and a bit more like where I grew up climate wise... that's way too much like Florida. Is that at least a dry heat or is it outdoor sauna?

It's the pre-ai annoyance of scaley nipples that bugs me.

 
   A shelter-in-place order is in effect in Brooklyn Park after two state lawmakers and their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer.
  Sources say Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman were shot.
  The shelter-in-place order is near Edinburgh Golf Course, and the at-large suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
 

Something happened at Lake and Bloomington, gossip was ICE but officials are claiming the feds were there on a warrant for drugs and money laundering.

 

2023 but aged well

 

"The bill that passed the House Thursday would not prohibit ACA health plans from covering gender-affirming care outright, but it would restrict care by making it effectively unaffordable, said Lindsey Dawson, director for LGBTQ health policy at KFF. "

 

Stolen from Mastodon.

Don't stop boycotting, but it may be a factor in what we saw today, at the very least it's helping the Israeli government's advertising to be more effective. ESC really needs to do something (ideally ban Israel) because Israel has made Eurovision​ even more explicitly political than it was before.

 

Hope this is okay here, I read the community description and I'm still not clear, but now I want to see someone slap an electric motor on and commute to work in an office chair.

 

The nips have been freed, kinda.

 

Another favorite pastime was digging a tunnel under his home; he attributed the secret of his success to "visits by elves" while he worked in the tunnel: "While I'm digging in the tunnel, the elves will often come to me with solutions to my problem."

Wikipedia cited a rather entertaining Time article as a citation for this.

Edited title, realised it worked better this way

 

2018 article but feels relevant now

 

The question definitely used to be "Have you traveled outside of the country recently?"
