Maybe we need to make some space to have conversations about the way that rigid gender expectations can hurt people. I'm not talking about trans people, exclusively (in fact the trans people I know are among the most sophisticated when it comes to processing these kinds of events and emotions)

No, where I see a lot of unprocessed trauma flailing around putting everyone in a bad way is from cis people who have unexamined psychological harm due to their failure to conform to some gender norm. 1/

@futurebird Zach and Donald touched on this in their podcast (they played JD and Turk in the TV show Scrubs). A lot of folks identify with JD; he’s not a “manly man”, doesn’t drink traditionally “manly” drinks, etc. Turk was more of a “jock” type but not hugely, and both say they love the other aloud and in person.
It’s lovely to hear fans citing the show as a moment of realisation in their own emotional maturity.

My company made a mistake with my insurance and it took a while to resolve. So they sent me $400 worth of DoorDash credits.

Guess who is having McDonalds SMEGs delivered every day for a few weeks?

I'm going to regret this when I have a heart attack on day 12.

Screenshot of McDonald's breakfast menu, showing SMEGs, HMEGs, and browns.

just realized i've had the mollywhite.net domain for over 10 years(!!)

related sneak peek into an upcoming piece: i firmly believe that if you're going to spend money on one thing online it should be a domain, particularly as online identity gets more fragmented. as platforms come and go, you can always find me there.

@molly0xfff totally agree. During social-media migrations I’ve discovered some of my favourite creators had no website and were only on a place I was leaving / didn’t want to sign up to. Disappointing for me, and risky for them.

Requires a < /FOOT PATH > sign at the other end of the trail?

@Natasha_Jay it’s self-closing, just like the path of people stop using it.
