My car's favorite song is the 2nd movement from Dvořák's Symphony No 9. Whenever it connects to my phone, no matter what I had on last time, it switches to that movement.

I know it's a bug but I don't want to fix it... It's cute that the car has a fav.

Join me for tea sometime?

Despite being in the US, I use metric everywhere. Most of my friends know by now if they ask me the weather I'll say something like "it's 25° now but 16° tonight, so I'll get a jacket".

I recently asked my gf for the weather, she says "it's about 290".

I can't even be mad she one-upped me.

I GET TO DO ONE OF THESE NOW

It's never too late

Had a pretty amazing weekend. And I'm really happy with how some of these photos turned out. Thanks to everyone who made these days special 💕

Starting on March 23, 2020, I started making daily posts of the tea I was drinking, and never stopped, 1300 posts later. Tea has always been central to me, and over time I've talked about my methodology, tastes, and philosophy arising from tea.

After five years...

Today's member testimonial is from Aura K, who has been a member of DSA since 2017. Since joining the chapter, Aura has been involved with anti-deportation-profiteering actions, building and sustaining DSA's coalition work with ICE Out of Arlington and Free Them All VA, as well as a key member (1/2)

A day late but happy #TransDayOfVisibility

I can't express how monumentally necessary the decision to finally transition was for me, and nothing could push me back.

#EidMubarak everyone!

Grateful to be in liberated and queer spaces, and have been able to celebrate Ramadan and Eid with old friends, new friends, and family fully as myself.

I've been making daily tea posts 5x/week for 5 years (first on Twitter, now on Insta, will soon cross-post to Bluesky). I'm taking a break during Ramadan, but I'm debating changing formats.

Maybe a short video 1x/week? I don't have a good camera/editing setup, so it may be way more effort. Idk yet.

Ok but when I bought a car in 2008, after negotiating and getting to a final total price, I said that interest was against my faith (which is true) and that I'd need a 0% APR.

...and I proceeded to get a 0% APR.

A bit on each social media platform I still use

Twitter, winding down. It crossed the threshold where time-wasting posts (not just disinfo but posts that mislead you about how common some problems/views are) exceeded useful ones. Even for leftists.

...I do miss being mutuals with some great people

Finally migrating to this platform!

I'm "kiizyr" on Instagram (still active) & "kaizyr" on Twitter (winding down) & "kizyr" on Facebook (complicated). If we followed one another there then please let's reconnect.

I intend to keep posting here. Tea, leftism, religion, trans issues, games, etc. 👋🏾
