@evangreer It only eats what you give it. It will never go away, it will never change (for the better), but you don’t have to feed it yourself.

@chrmi I had to do this last year. Mad 💖 to you; it’s going to be alright.
I was in #berkeley today, getting some art framed and I stopped in at Muracci’s for some Japanese curry. Notes follow.
1. Yum
2. Wow, I eat so much less after having dropped 10 pounds of muscle mass in the last year (#hrt). 😳
3. Some of my strongest memories of Japan are of eating curry out of gas station restaurants (pictured).
4. I know everyone’s done to death with people snapping photos of their food, but I think there should be a special allowance for those of us who choose to use an 8x10 camera to do it. #photography
For people who found this filter amusing and/or useful, here is the full list I’m using, with some new additions this morning! 😆
@TheSpaceshipper Thanks for the tip!
@TheSpaceshipper I believe this is now the single most-expensive thing I own.
The juxtaposition between Alien (my favorite film) and Jodorowsky’s Dune made it impossible to resist.
I remember a different version of this sketch from the supplements in the Alien laserdisc boxed set from the 90’s. I don’t usually give in to nostalgia, but it does carry some weight!
@TheSpaceshipper Yes.
@Foone Thank you for this statement: it made my morning.
The best part is that I'm labeling a beta tape to provide a supporting image for a mini-fic I wrote, which is about VHS tapes.
so since I am here now, allow me to do some SLEEP PROPAGANDA
SLEEP IS GOOD
SLEEP IS IMPORTANT
SLEEP IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY EDUCATION OR JOB
and the fact that we are forced to compromise on sleep in order to fulfill duties to capitalism is an immense injustice and health risk.
lack of sleep obviously increases stress levels and therefore the risk for all kinds of diseases, but it also damages your brain on a cellular level because SLEEP MAINTAINS THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR BRAIN.
transition, surgery
To state the obvious, these are the stakes in the debate around gender-affirming care for minors. It's miraculous that surgical technology exists to undo much of the effect of puberty with the wrong hormones; it's still a hell of a thing to go through, compared to just escaping those hormones in the first place.
transition, gallows humor from mom
@pauline 🤣 I love your mom.
@stevestreza I’ll for sure let him know. 😁
@stevestreza I will say that the person I know who’s had the most success getting SwiftUI to do what she wants isn’t an engineer at all, but rather Pocket’s Head of Design. SwiftUI is as much she knows, and she loves it.
I stand corrected. This is actually just a random shot from a 2017 trip to Okinawa. Wow. 👵🏻
