My comp is getting worse. Not totally broken, but somethings (like wifi) are working sporadically.

Planned on getting a new comp next month, but car repairs. So I may be mostly-missing for a while.

This topic is one that I have been gaslit about, seen (black) people pull the "well my Polynesian friend doesn't think it's a problem", seen (white) leaders in the #polyamory community call Polynesians speaking out about this trolls.

The lengths I have heard polyam people go to invalidate Polynesians on this is disgusting.

I am DONE with this fucking debate.

anyone else doing #campnanowrimo? I'm going to fail like always but it's fun to try.

new comp arrived! getting set up.

taking mental bets on how long before I get fed up with Windows and reformat as Linux.

I'm arguing with myself about reddit usernames. I usually just use my own name bc I hate coming up with a username. But the whole reason I'm making anew account is my name changed and don't want to use an account with my old name.

I'm telling myself to just use my (new) name. But then I wonder, what if I change my name again? I don't think I will, but I never thought I'd change it the first time... So the logical thing to do is come up with a username. But ... but ... usernames...!

For everyone who needs a smile today.

I I understand the practical reasons for my doctors and psychs 3-strike policies.

But the practical effect is the people who most need help have the hardest time getting it. Because it's the people who are in the worst place who have the hardest time getting to appointments reliably.

Morning. *waves*

Hope everyone is doing well

Did you know:
That this is actually flat-out false?

I was taught that slavery isn't economically viable in a modern society and that is why the south would have inevitably collapsed no matter what.

But when you learn the history you see that slavery managed to reinvent itself in sharecropping, debt peonage, and the prison industrial complex.

So obviously it is economically viable.

Conclusion: assuming horrors will end bc "unsustainable" is a way to avoid taking a stand.

Morning, all.

New comp is supposed to arrive Wednesday. Did not expect shipping to be that fast. Once we get it set up I hopefully won't have any more problems with losing internet connection.

So hopefully I'll be around a bit more. Mental shit permitting.

I’m currently sitting on* a handful of copies of Love’s Not Color Blind with no signings scheduled until #PDM2018 in Dallas. If you’re interested in a signed copy, get at me. Here or by DM! I can get one out to you this week!

*not literally though

For reasons I fully understand, but don't know how to derail, the times I am most burntout and broken are also the times I do the most arguing and attempting to educate people too bigoted and lazy to google stuff.

I need a new a way to deal with burntout, bc this one just sucks.

Holy shit!

There's a shortage on injectable estradiol (generic) but not a shortage on the Name Brand, which my insurance will not cover.

It's $417.00
Can anyone help with this? Please? #TransCrowdFund #PrideMonth
