Yet another example of people in POTUS 45/47's government who think they can say any words they want (let alone do whatever they want), with zero understanding of their meaning or their legal ramifications.

I wish there was more support and understanding available to wrap around your family.
A government focused less on "profit" (not even a thing in public service) and more on outcomes would hopefully fund services that would support your son instead of inventing new carceral fantasies to route him to
I had to do a double-take because I was sure this headline had to be from 2021-22 and not 2026.
I wish I could deal with this while NOT being injured and recovering.
Alas, this is just the order of events life is throwing at me this year.
It certainly makes me hyper-aware of how situations like grocery or fuel shortages affect people with disabilities more than I have ever been aware before.
I am trying to deal with my anxiety about the current war/fuel situation in the most rational ways possible.
Our household has made some choices that mean we are car dependent six days a week for 2026 - a big change from our old life of being car dependent ZERO days a week.
Can only do our best.
100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.
Mainstream media: nothing
Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.
Mainstream media: nothing.
This is what extreme media bias looks like.
im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality
Got my bandages off AND got the new COVID jab! Better living through medical science!

Includes four of my all-time favs, ha.
What an awesome interview about a topic near to my heart - rock on Drag Race!
I shared it with the savages on RPDR Reddit π

The urge to smugly comment "I wear a mask and I've been feeling fine" to every "whoa, is there a bad cold going around?" post I see.
I find it very common down here in Wellington for just about any kind of appointment, medical or otherwise! Not just a "hey, reminding you your appointment is tomorrow" but a vague "please call us back about your appointment tomorrow."
Y'all, I'm not doing "please confirm your appointment" calls the day before an appointment.
I don't care if you are a hairdresser, a doctor, or the king of England. You are welcome to text me a reminder, but I am not talking to anyone on the phone or calling anyone back. That's admin I do not need.
For my Magic The Gathering lovers, drag superstars Irene The Alien & Bosco launched a MTG actual play channel and their first game is with MTG principal designer Gavin Verhey... in DRAG!
It is a WILD, wildly-entertaining game of high-level commander play. Loved it!

I'm so sorry to all of my non-NZ followers and my NZ followers who already hate this gov't with the heat of 1,000 suns, because the ferries have become my Roman Empire.
Congratulations! Much love to you and your enbiggened family.
NOT GETTING A CENTURY PROOFED PORT AND STRAIT INFRASTRUCTURE.
MINIMUM VIABILITY.
SMALLER FERRIES FOR MORE MONEY.
WORSE PORTS FOR THE SAME MONEY.
THIS IS COLOSSAL INCOMPETENCE.
In a sane political environment, the iReX debacle would have the current government unelectable this November.
In a term chocka block with monumental cock ups, this has be pretty much in the no. 1 position. #nzpol
Tried to put on a button-up shirt today.
It was... harrowing.
Recovery continues. I am really good at sitting on the couch right now. Like, expert level. So I get false confidence that I can do big kid things like button buttons or put away dishes.
And then I become acquainted with reality.
Time to pass a law that any party spokesperson of media outlet that opines with hindsight reckons on pandemic management has to show this chart in the background at all times #nzpol

There are so many adorable kittens in the world.
And all I want to do is see my feed on other networks filled with adorable kittens.
SO WHY MUST SO MUCH KITTEN CONTENT BE AI? JUST SOURCE ME SOME ADORABLE REAL LIFE KITTENS YOU FUCKERS.
Swear some people are quick to call the Greens radical because acknowledging humans are part of nature and don't have to be greedy goes completely against their idea we're separate from everything else on this little blue pebble floating around in space.

just crying in my living room singing harmony to "Not Strong Enough," totally normal Friday night
(nice to be back to normal)
My entire internet career (and a fair bit of my actual career!) was born there!
My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
