Introduction 🧵

I’m an old Midwestern white trans lesbian. I write software for a quantum computing startup. I have multiple overlapping flavors of neurodivergence.

I was raised by television in the 80s, so I’m nostalgic for pop culture of that era.

I take too much at face value.

I guess for some people, that would be a form of hell, but we really enjoyed it

didn’t know if you’re familiar, but the restaurant (at least the one in my town) had a “kitchen table”, which was a giant wraparound booth in a corner of the kitchen, and servers would come by and be chatty and show you the different dishes, and if memory serves, we got a bunch of free leftovers

that came out weird; I mean i’d support you in your endeavors, and I’m also curious to hear you, and I would listen to an episode or two at minimum

but also I am limited in the amount of spoons that I have so I am hesitant about making declarations that require a long-term commitment

if my opinions were as garbage as his, I would be far more hesitant to publicly share them

hey, Clegg, everyone in your district is now free to steal anything from you and your family. don’t worry, you are well within your rights to ask each person individually not to steal from you

ë̈m̈ the spoOOky goblin 🏳️‍⚧️🐍 @emmeline.bsky.social · 8h

i would definitely listen to at least one episode, out of curiosity

ë̈m̈ the spoOOky goblin 🏳️‍⚧️🐍 @emmeline.bsky.social · 8h

i’m not even sure the point that Clegg is trying to make.

If a thing can only exist through theft, then yes, stopping the theft will stop that thing from existing. That’s a good thing.

i was e free, too!

sadly, my parents never let it. i didn’t find my current church (lefty branch of presbyterian) until my 40s

mom thinks i have a mental illness, and thinks any church that supports transitioning is inherently sinful

I think you’re likely fine, and your electrical system has safeties to prevent problems

If you are living with an electrical engineer, and the kettle is in the kitchen, I’m assuming that it is plugged into a GFCI outlet. that should disable the plug if there’s a problem

if I have another brain-fog-free day tomorrow, maybe I should just cut back on spiro further?

@katie.bzky.team , you’re the resident expert. i was on sublingual E with 150 spiro. did my first injection of .4 valerate on Sunday, now on 100 spiro

how long (approx) does monotherapy take to kick in?
