Getting around to moving over to a different username. Same server, don't imagine the moving process will break much, but we'll see.

I still wanna go yell at the cishet men who decided that username should be your unique ID because, boys, the first gen web developers decided that was a bad idea circa 1998. Fuckin' amateurs.

Ageism - and specifically bias against the young - is central to maintaining oppression.

We train children to set aside their curiosity, randomness, spontaneity, playfulness, silliness, and openness, all in the service of becoming "good adults"... and then fret over the crushing prevalence of unimaginative compliance, nihilistic despair, and rigid implacability throughout our societies.

We won't get a better future from trying to turn children into better adults.

We'll get there by reminding adults how to be more like healthy children.

We need to STOP running DOOM on new things
and START putting new things into DOOM.

For example, today I added micro-transactions to the original game. Any time you pick up an item, the game freezes until you make a payment.

I grieve.

Eternally, I grieve.

This is nice.

In light of how difficult a week its been, I'll just say this:

I intend to survive the rough few years to come. You should get it firmly in your head that you will too. Every one of us who survives this will be a gift and a blessing to the world.

Welp, my bank account is low. (I caved into ordering DoorDash to 'eat away the pain' and have to stop doing that) and I can't order the #DIYHRT I need to wait out the Planned Parenthood appointment.

I know it sounds petty, but it is still a cause for #TransMutualAid

Going back on Adderall is always a revelation. I forget that this is (supposedly) how other people experience the world. Everything seems clearer, easier, quieter. Partner went out to grocery shop and I'm just sitting here admiring silence.
