Went with mom to her hometown to stop by the cemetery and historical society and had to experience Small Town Restaurant Bathroom Queer Experience featuring tummy troubles and getting referred to as “that freak in the shitter” because I am visibly trans and there was exactly One way to use that restroom that involved leaving my rollator outside the stall and literally crawling/scooching to get to and from the toilet because my rollator didn’t fit in the stall. Also got called a couple slurs while trying to enjoy a nice kebab.

there are controversial foods I like where I’m like “yeah I get it. this isn’t for everyone”

and then there are some where I’m more “our tongue-to-brain setup must literally be wired differently because wtf are you talking about”

[implourium]

i think we're exact opposites, because i looove oatmeal raisin cookies, mushrooms, and meat fat

[hazard-symbols-that-fuck-hard]

no im saying i like all of them.

category 1 is “I enjoy eating this, but understand why someone else wouldn’t”

category 2 is “this tastes objectively good. therefore our actual perceptions of reality must be different.”

(for people who don’t know kathleen stock is an infamous British terf who triggered a whole “free speech” university row over her views)

this is what people mean when they say that transphobia and ableism are interlinked. because *of course* the same person who refuses to believe people when they assert their gender also refuses to believe them when they assert a disability. because who knows their bodies better than a random british upper-class white woman!

and at the end of the day it really boils down to this vindictive need to police and bully strangers because 1. why do you care about someone saying they’re a woman, dressing like a woman etc. and 2. why do you care about someone using a walking stick if they don’t 100% need it? the answer is, neither of those things affect your life, and you shouldn’t.

golly its almost like there was some kind of virus going around recently that gave a bunch of people lifelong disabilities. does anyone remember anything like that?

"Vague syndromes" = I've never heard of them before, I don't understand what they are, and they weren't carrying an annotated hospital diagnostic guide with their medical chart when I accosted them in the street

Damn fuck I really can't think of a single popular uprising in the entire history of Russia how about you?

[segamascott]

westerners: racism is bad also did you know that every single living person in russia china north korea iran and cuba are not only ontologically evil but brainwashed stupid and soulless too ☝️☺️

[sentient-stove]

Honestly lowkey crazy how you can apologize a million times to a customer, remake their order for whatever bullshit reason they ask for, give them a full refund whilst you’re sucking on their boot, and they’ll still call you a rude bitch at the end of the interaction and demand you fix their problem despite the fact you literally just gave them and their family 50 bucks of free product for one minuscule error found in one of their eight items. crazy.

Deadly egg recall

The FDA has upgraded an egg recall issued last month to “Class I,” its highest risk level, as it warns the public that consuming the products could cause “serious adverse health consequences or death.”

The recall of 1,589,577 dozen white-shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs was initially issued by Midwest Poultry Services in late July, which warned they might be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis.

According to the company, the eggs were produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3 and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and August 17. The recalled egg cartons have either the code P-1950 or 0840962 and Julian Dates between 157-184.

Recalled eggs were shipped to foodservice and retail customers in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.  Recalled eggs were available to consumers at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana; Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and other smaller retail and foodservice outlets in these states plus Mississippi and New Mexico.

Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico are the currently affected states.

"Ooooh Minecraft Bedrock edition is taking up about 2.5gb of storage on your computer" really because I just uninstalled it and I went from less than 1gb free disk space to almost 8gb free disk space so. Well. I'm no accountant but the math isn't mathing here

Grown ass women acting like this

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’ve never tamed a cat before in Minecraft and apparently they sleep in your bed with you if you let them follow you around which is so adorable

[prince-ashen-forest]

you can tame the cats?

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah with raw fish

[prettyinpinkcatgamer]

yeah but you gotta like slowly sneak up to them, you can't even go at full sneak speed, you have to like tap W to advance on the cat slowly until it's close enough to receive a fish, then you do that over and over again until hearts come out of it :3

[what-even-is-thiss]

I chase them like a crazy person spamming activate with a fish in my hand

Ripping up some lino to bare the concrete beneath so I can tile it and make a kitchen and laundry and discovered some FANTASTIC news

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

There's a long raised ridge going through the room under the lino, not high enough to impede walking or sweeping but high enough to impede flat tiling. Due to its shape, location and my previous experience with the room net door, I figured that some pipes had been put in the slab here and the concrete on top of them was raised. It's way too expensive to fix this; in the previous room I had to build a raised platform over the affected part of the floor, and in this one, my plan was to build a slightly higher ridge to delineate the laundry from the kitchen. Which would have been workable, but also a real pain in the arse to make; expensive, fiddly and easy to fuck up. I absolutely hate anything that makes me pour concrete, the local bunnings only stocks the shittiest concrete imaginable. I've been putting off this tiling job for ages because I'm dreading figuring out how to build this stupid fucking tiny ridge between rooms.

Anyways I pulled up the lino today and it turns out there's no buried pipe there. It's just a ridge between two concrete slabs and, since the previous owners were laying very thin lino over it and didn't want a dip in the floor, they just filled it up with the rubber glue they were using for the lino and overcompensated. I have to lift up all the rubber glue before tiling anyway so this is essentially a nothing problem. The slab underneath is about as flat as one can expect given the circumstances, which is good enough for me. This floor is going to be a WAY easier job than I thought.

Still so so much fucking tiling to do though, which isn't fun, but whatever.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#tiles already there?!

God I wish this was the news now. How great would that have been.

[hellenhighwater]

There was a thunderstorm last and, of course, there is now an earthwurmm in the middle of my kitchen.

The crime scene investigation begins. Was it Malice, the Meatball Supreme? Or No Bones Jones, Mayhem Jane?

Or was it, perhaps, the Wyrmsinger himself???

who brought woims into my kitchen

Malice (dry paws, angelic expression)

Mayhem (madness in her eyes, three fully functional legs)

Vice (Wet beans, sang the Wyrmsong last night)

[bandomfandombeyond]

Your Honor, I move to dismiss the entire case on the grounds of a mistrial. The prosecutor has prejudiced the jury against my client with the presentation of circumstantial evidence and usage of an unsubstantiated epithet!

[hellenhighwater]

Your Honor, circumstantial evidence is admissible in our jurisdiction and can be the basis for a criminal conviction, so long as the circumstantial proof facilitates reasonable inferences of causation, not mere speculation. People v Wang, 505 Mich 239, 251 (2020). Furthermore, calling the defendant by his legal name and by his known alias is not per se prejudicial, and must be subject to the balancing test described in MRE 403. The probative value of this alias in a case of malicious woim depositing is substantially outweighed by any potential prejudice. Please see People v Thompson, 101 Mich App 609, 613; 300 NW2d 645 (1980). And to preempt a potential hearsay objection about the admissibility of the Wyrmsong itself, this statement is not hearsay, as it is the statement of an opposing party, admissible under MRE 801(d)(2).

[hellenhighwater]

Though the jury deliberated for a full twenty-four hours, the jurors--five thousand three hundred and twenty six peers selected to serve in this case-- were unable to render a unanimous verdict. Therefore, we have no choice but to declare a mistrial, and the defendants are returned to custody to await retrial.

Though I think we've narrowed down who the real masterminds are ...

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Why can I never find my fucking crowbar. You wouldn't think that it would be an easy tool to misplace.
