Eve

I misread that as "burying his aides' shoes" and honestly, that wouldn't surprise me either.

WHO'S A THIGMOTACTIC KITTY WITTY YOU IS YES YOU IS YOU IS DISPLAYING THIGMOTAXISY WIGMOTAXISY

I've just found out about the MCAS and GLP-1s thing, and am trying to figure out how I could get a low dose prescribed off-label. There's some sort of weird interaction with my diabetes, too. Naturally this happens after I lose 12kg, so that I'm not eligible for GLP-1s for weight loss.

Forensics probably got charmed by the coquettish look.

Circumstantial.

I had dinner with a bloke who suddenly demanded to know what scared me, as if that was a normal question to ask a stranger on a first date. I dodged. Unsurprisingly, he threw a tantrum because I wanted to split the bill, *which had been on my dating profile*.

People are sneering about that now? I'm trying to remember how I phrased that on my profile. I'm demisexual, so I didn't want anyone trying to rush me, or to waste their time either. Some men get a bit... over-excited... when they hear you're bisexual. But good on anyone else enjoying casual sex!

*peers* 40s? I'm hopeless at guessing age, partly because I've got EDS, and so do a surprising number of people I know. We're issued a portrait in the attic when we're diagnosed. It correlates with being queer and neurodivergent, so it's all over Bluesky too.

Jesus. Right. Not sure how I missed that, but there are so many shitty men to try to keep up with what they've all been up to, and not a few shitty women as well. Thanks.

I had a search but could only find that he's a homophobe, and it sounds like he did more than that?

I'm not sure it's ever been fed.

Thanks for doing alt text, but please don't put hyperlinks there. No one can click on them, and screen readers will read them out letter by letter. Hyperlinks should go in the body of the post.

(Also WTAF?! Why do I keep thinking they can't sink any lower?)

I remember when floppy disks were *floppy*!

One of the reasons why women are twice as likely to die of a heart attack than a man who has one is, is that for a lot of folk, it's less painful than their periods, so they assume it can't be anything serious. (The research is on cis people only, I believe.)

Yep.

*cuddles Killjoys, which recognises that queer (former) sex workers of colour are the leaders of the fucking revolution, thank you very much*

The Duke who Didn't by Courtney Milan An Asian couple embracing. His hand is on her neck, and they are leaning in to each other, touching foreheads.

That awkward feeling when you want to ask a girl to marry you, but she doesn't know your real name or the fact that you own her house and she owes you fifty-three years of rent. The Duke who Didn't by Courtney Milan

The Wedgeford Trials by Courtney Milan covers for The Duke who Didn't, The Marquis who Mustn't, and The Earl who Isn't

The heroine is clipboard-dependent.
The hero has no idea what he's doing.

One of my favourite romances! I keep checking to see whether the others are out in audiobook yet, but no luck.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Wow.

Meanwhile, I'm driving my poor new optician mad because I need proper blue blocking glasses for three hours before bed, the sort which have bright orange lenses, otherwise I end up on a 25 hour day. He's having trouble sorting out the right tint.

Oh, I think that's when I watched it! Surreptitiously, due to staying with my homophobic parents at the time.

My darling, it's over forty years ago! I know, I don't understand how either.

C'mon we got Captain Cat Lady, Lesbian Space Auntie Sergeant Hartman, Vengeance-Bent Muscleboy, Twink Klingon, ADHD Hologram, School Swot, Fish Malfoy, Troi But Worse, Autistic Opera Doctor But He's Traumatised Now, and Tig Notaro

The exasperating thing about trekbros going after Starfleet Academy is that its whole deal, about hot young cadets learning to love and grow and co-operate and celebrate diversity while being totally hot, probably makes it the most Gene's Vision show since TOS *and that's its most annoying quality*

Tipsy the tortoiseshell kitten pauses mid-scratch to take in the setting sun on an absolutely maximally decimated upholstered chair

Cat sitting on a path in a grassy park on a nice sunny day in almost-spring, with a long crisp shadow

If I ever have a sunny garden and a cat with a favourite place in it, I'm going to paint Roman numerals on stones and make a kitty powered sundial

Oof.

Please don't copy all that extra text when putting in alt text, though! Nobody with a screen reader wants to hear all of that read out. It only takes a moment to edit it.

That does sound fun!

Were the long covid clinics actually doing anything helpful? My experience of ME clinics has been that they're more likely to cause damage, but that was a long time ago.

Evergreen for how I operate:

“Queer' not as being about who you're having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but 'queer' as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” 🔥🔥🔥
