Update: They have invaded and they have left. The door is locked, but they're still in the building doing other units. The fire alarms are going off every few minutes. I have the big headphones on. This is a grand improvement.
Next: taking meds, having coffee, and eating something. 🥴

Having people in my space is a major stressor for me, no matter if it's just for a couple minutes, so I am waiting for a knock on the door so I can let in people who will be here specifically to judge something about my living space, sitting here just vibrating like a chihuahua on crack. 😰

Ever have a stretch where it’s like “ooo, if I keep stretching just a bit more that huge knot in my back will pop loose, just a biiit more, a biiiit more, why is everything going dark, oh right, breathing” and then the stretch falls apart. Like a sneeze that never happens, but with more blackout. 😞

the idea that there’s something you can do - some level of performance you can achieve - that makes you safe from the whims of execs is something they want to avoid
they want you to fear for your job, they want you to feel unsafe and unable to speak out
that, above all else, is the message

Update: the invasion window is upon me and I have reached the “Fuck it” stage of scurryfungeing, so it is what it is. I am now in a holding pattern until the invasion is done with.
I almost never open my apartment door. Which is why I didn’t find the note of an apartment inspection Feb 5th between 8am and 5pm until I literally ‘had a feeling’ and checked at 1am on Feb 5th.
So. I now have <6 hours to scurryfunge this hovel as quietly as possible. With my back screaming. 😬😖

i appreciate that you described the razor-edged pendulum swinging back and forth above us, and noted in detail that it is also slowly descending towards the table we're strapped to. and yet i can't help but ask why you failed to condemn these acts or make clear to your audience that they are bad?

Discontinued Food News! This will be especially devastating for those of you, who like me, have the childhood sensory memory of clunking a cylinder of orange slush around in a plastic pitcher of water with a wooden spoon to produce the most underwhelming OJ imaginable, burned into your brain!
The iconic, slush-filled tubes of orange juice concentrate, which have been around for 80 years, are being discontinued, the Coca-Cola Company says.
Minute Maid discontinues frozen juice concentrate after 80 years
The process to make juice concentrate was invented by the research team C.D. Atkins, Edwin Moore and Louis MacDowell in the 1940s.

School librarians are freaking out. The site is used a lot, esp for middle school. And nonfiction that isn't narrative or bio - such as country fact books - has been decimated in kidlit to the point where it doesn't really exist anymore outside little kid books, so no replacement for the site.

Adding: There's also sometimes a rice cooker, but it's just a 6-cup one, and I unplug the coffee machine when it's plugged in. It's the fridge and microwave coexisting in the same plug that's the main issue. The old microwave was like 1100 watts and had bare metal spots inside so hoping 700w works.
I need to plug a regular fridge, an LED light, a 700watt microwave, and a coffee machine into the same 2 outlet wall plug. what kind of multi plug thingy would work? (I wouldn’t run the coffee machine and the microwave at the same time, but they can all only plug into the one outlet.) 🤔

A message to some of you learning Japanese
Trans women: "Atashi" is more feminine/casual than "Watashi"
Trans men: "Boku" is more masculine/casual than "Watashi"
NBs: A lot of pronouns are gendered so just use your name. Talking about yourself in the third person is perfectly natural in Japanese.

I just think it's cool and sexy to read books by trans authors
On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.
Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
