This week has stunk and I’m glad it’s over. Feeling really grateful for my fiancé, for @unclek8.bsky.social, and for the fact that my asters are finally blooming.

I really hate that there were antiabortion protesters at the Lake Planned Parenthood and no one was giving them shit. What is wrong with people?

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

I’m sitting parked in my car a house down from mine, answering some emails and shit before going back in, and a cop car just drove real slow past me 3 times. God I love living in a police state. It’s just getting better with age! Like bathtub hooch.

There are so many HORRIBLE laboratory procedures in Alien: Earth. Like the subtext of the show is “don’t eat/drink in the lab, and don’t do dangerous things when you’re the only person there.” So many problems could be fixed with a fucking OSHA manual.

I have known Dex since they were a baby feminist in South Dakota in 2012, doing some of the bravest damn work I’ve ever seen. This party needs to take a VERY strong look at the rot inside. I saw the racism and sexism first hand back when I was involved. Clearly things have only gotten worse.

This is the same apartment building where the leaves were raked into several piles in the middle of the sidewalk and left there for two months. So like. No surprise I guess? The sidewalk exists for their benefit, I suppose.
dandelion daddy (@dandelionqueer.bsky.social)
Ah yes, what is most important for a sidewalk? Making it less accessible by stringing caution tape across it so that people know not to drive cars on the parking lot next to it. A thousand papercuts to whomever thought of this bright fucking idea.
