Not actually an otter. Am a distractible engineer with an energy limiting disability. Trying to kick up, not kick down.

international women’s day is about all types of women

young, senior, Black, white, fat, thin, short, tall, disabled, non-disabled, straight, queer, cis

AND TRANS

and if you think you can exclude ANY of us you can fix your heart or get in the sea

While the D.H.S. is flooding platforms with subpoenas to unmask anti-I.C.E. accounts and the Heritage Foundation wants to use KOSA to censor LGBTQ+ and abortion content, Dems and Republicans are working hard to abolish you're right to online anonymity, empower state attorneys general to mass censor any content online, and funnel tons of money and you're personal data to Peter Thiel

I'm skeptical of "social media algorithms are designed to be addictive to minors" because clearly these people have never seen, e.g., the way old white people are hooked on Fox News and shit. Never mind that these adults have made sure there's nowhere else for young people to socialize, especially in groups.

Lately it's started edging toward "MAHA" wellness bullshit and Democrats' queerphobic and puritanical obsession with censoring and destroying the Internet "for the kids."

Lodge, I just learned about the mascot for the Montreal olympics in 1976 and need to share.

Tulsi Gabbard and Susie Wiles reportedly engaged in what looks like a national security related coverup. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/07/nsa-foreign-intelligence-trump-whistleblower

No longer at all odd to imagine that Trump and various members of his staff and family and cabinet are all working for foreign, hostile governments.

NSA detected foreign intelligence phone call about a person close to Trump

Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff

The Guardian
I confess, at this point,
I have lost count
of how many times
I’ve used a test kit,
I have lost count
of how many times
I’ve worn a mask,
I have lost count
of how many studies
I’ve read on Covid’s harms,
but at least
I have yet not last count
of how many times
I’ve had the virus.

The fact that other viruses, like RSV, cause chronic issues, as does #COVID19, is not a reason to take COVID lightly. It's a reason to take all viral infections and threats more seriously.

I read an article,
which summarized a new study
from Griffith University,
by stating: “COVID-19
leaves lasting changes
in the brain,
even after full recovery,”
which I suppose
is another way of saying
that there isn’t really such a thing
as a full recovery.

And by the way—even if 100% of the people ICE kidnapped had violent criminal records, THEY ARE STILL ENTITLED TO DUE PROCESS OF LAW. They are still entitled to humane treatment in prison.

US tax dollars are funding a literal concentration camp. Corporate media is censoring it.

This. Is. Fascism.

If you look at “get back into exercise” plans, they almost all start with something like “do 5 minutes several times/day”.

Doing even that on a regular basis, spread evenly throughout the day is too much. I had 3 multi hour naps today. It was just walk the dog, doomscroll, eat & nap.

Hopefully we can move to “long leash in the backyard” soon so I can sit while she roams. Verticality is not my strong suit these days.
