had a bizarre yet affirming experience on my way back from the doctor.

Houseless guy stops in the middle of the sidewalk, says "I can see your belly button." I don't respond but after I passed him he goes "I know you're a girl!"

I don't boymode but I was def dykemoding. Still odd

It's pretty terrifying tbh. But it is nice being able to blame my insanity on something tangible lol

Just FYI, here are my personal beliefs on the use of large scale violence.

1. Violence tends to be self-replicating, and so should be avoided as much as possible.

All violence has the potential to entrench itself.

Just found out the protein powder I've been using daily for MONTHS has so much lead in it that it isn't safe to consume but once a week

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
