Ok, unless I have more of the clear plastic hanger chunks in a box somewhere in storage I have 4 of the spinners with enough extra parts for 5 more (which makes me think there is a second box of parts in storage)

And I'm counting up how many of these spinner displays I have.

There are also a bunch of these displays that will hold either cards or just loose earrings. But I'm pretty sure I thought I'd already gotten rid of these so I think I tossed the feet.
New feet could be pretty easily made with acrylic & a lazor cutter. But ya know full disclosure.

Being rude to AI is bigotry?

Dude.

It is code. It isn't a person. It has no feelings.

Instead of worrying about AI's nonexistent feelings, there are plenty of people in the world who could use some help right now.

Make time tomorrow to call your Congressperson and both your senators tomorrow. Remind them that trans rights are human rights. Hell, call your reps even if they're Republicans. Let's remind them that they will eventually need to be reelected.

That was supposed to say 65lb doofus of a dog. This is what 13 hours at the bench does to your brain.

Watching my 65lb doors of a dog try to give this little cat his rope tug toy that is roughly the same size as the cat was hilarious.

Jelly came into the house Thursday evening and he and Harper slept in separate rooms. By Friday evening they were sharing my lap. By Monday they were snuggling on each other.
Harper hasn't figured out how to get Jelly to play with him yet, but he is trying.

If you dangle the string toy he will not ignore you for anything other than food.

He has an orange tail too.

He likes snuggles and the dog and making a huge mess with his food bowl (we were gifted a whisker friendly one and I think we might need one with higher sides).

I thought I had posted this earlier but that clearly didn't work.

The cat distribution system finally reached us after about 2 months of trying.
I want to make his first social media introduction to @seananmcguire.bsky.social because, cat, obviously.
This is Jellyman Kelly (Jelly for short).
Bonus pics of Harper using him as a pillow yesterday.

Treating those deficiencies did not “cure my autism”, it treated my anaemia which means that my symptoms of anaemia. Which was manly fatigue, & fatigue leads to cognitive difficulties

So yeah a kid might have a reduction in perceived symptoms of Autism, but in reality they’re not as fucking tired!

Leucovorin is a high dose of folic acid. Used by chemotherapy patients and folk with folate deficiency anemia.

I have had folate deficiency anaemia mutiple times. Actually caused by my Autism, due to same fooding (eating the same thing over and over again, not getting enough of a varied diet).

Anyway watch the stocks of whoever has the patent of leucovorin go up after the announcement. That’s all this is. Promoting Leucovorin so adults force their kids to ingest it to “cure their autism”.

But what is Leucovorin and why are they claiming it cures autism? 👇

I absolutely understand your point.
I had more to say, but I can't seem to get it to be concise. A need to overexplain will always be my downfall :)

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖
